"Han Xilin, what do you mean by that?" Xia Zhiqing's face was filled with anger. She had already disliked Han Xilin for a long time, but she never expected Han Xilin to say something so outrageous. Anyone would be unable to hold back their anger in such a situation.
Han Xilin sneered, looking coldly at Xia Zhiqing. "I've made myself perfectly clear, and you still don't understand what I mean? It seems that the cultivators of Canglan Academy are a bunch of fools."
Upon seeing Han Xilin's disdainful and mocking attitude, everyone's faces turned dark, and their gaze towards Han Xilin was filled with disgust.
"Are you deliberately looking for trouble?" Dongfang Yu's usually gentle and jade-like face turned cold. This woman, who seemed superior on the surface, was like an arrogant peacock. Perhaps in the eyes of others, she was incredibly alluring, but in his eyes, she had no trace of femininity.
Hearing Dongfang Yu's words, the contemptuous smile on Han Xilin's lips widened. "Looking for trouble? Just take a look at your level. Are you even worthy of me looking for trouble with you?"
"You truly live up to being Bai Li Hongzhuang's friend, just as arrogant as she is. It's truly laughable!"
As Han Xilin's words fell, the crowd could no longer contain their anger. "Han Xilin, you've gone too far!"
Blackwood furrowed his brow tightly as he listened to Han Xilin's words. The previous Han Xilin was not this outrageous. At least she still maintained a calm appearance on the surface. He didn't expect her attitude to be like this after returning this time. Her domineering behavior was truly detestable.
"Miss Han, they are all friends of the Young Sect Master and his wife. Your words are inappropriate," Blackwood said with a cold tone. Regardless of the situation, Han Xilin's attitude was unacceptable.
Upon hearing Blackwood's reproachful words, Tao Congrong also stepped forward. "Blackwood, you're just a personal guard. How dare you speak to the Miss like this!"
"Now, apologize to the Miss immediately!"
Tao Congrong looked at Blackwood with a haughty gaze, feeling that Blackwood was going against the Miss's arrangements in this situation.
However, Blackwood's voice turned cold. "I am the personal guard of the Young Sect Master. I only listen to the Young Sect Master's orders and disregard the words of others."
Tao Congrong was taken aback. She didn't expect Blackwood to say such things.
Han Xilin's face turned cold as she looked displeasedly at Blackwood. "Are you saying that you won't even listen to my words?"
"Miss Han, as the personal guard of the Young Sect Master, I naturally only listen to the Young Sect Master's orders."
Seeing how Blackwood stood up to Han Xilin like that, Xia Zhiqing and the others couldn't help but be amazed. Han Xilin's actions today were clearly intentional troublemaking, but fortunately, Blackwood had enough courage.
"In that case, when the Emperor left, he already gave this order. Are you openly defying the Emperor's command?" Han Xilin's lips curled up, and she suddenly changed her tone. "Or is it that in your eyes, Bai Li Hongzhuang's command is more important than the Emperor's command?"
"Hey, aren't you twisting the truth too much?" Xia Zhiqing looked at Han Xilin with disgust. This woman simply couldn't differentiate right from wrong. She could imagine that Hongzhuang's time in Tian Gang Zong must have been difficult with someone like this around. It was impossible not to get angry in the presence of such an annoying woman.
"A mere student from Canglan Academy isn't qualified to speak to me!"
