If that's really the case, then... does it mean that Bai Junyu still likes her?
Xia Zhiqing's heart couldn't help but beat faster.
During this time, she had increasingly felt that Bai Junyu and Yuan Xiaoman were the true match. Sometimes, she even thought about stepping back.
However, Bai Junyu often appeared before her, making it impossible for her to let go.
It had been three years since she first met Bai Junyu, and he had been by her side since they met at Canglan Academy.
She vividly remembered their first encounter, and she still remembered Bai Junyu's expression at that time.
But somehow, they had come to this point without her realizing when or how things had evolved into this situation. The current circumstances were definitely not what she wanted to see.
Noticing the change in Xia Zhiqing's expression, Baili Hongzhuang understood that she had figured out some things.
It all depended on Bai Junyu's thoughts now. With Yuan Xiaoman no longer in the White Tiger Hall, if Bai Junyu still didn't take any action, then she would have to have a talk with him.
She had always been reluctant to intervene too much, so she hadn't said much before.
If the situation became unavoidable, she had decided to speak up for the sake of her good sister's happiness.
In doing so, it would be beneficial for both Xia Zhiqing and Yuan Xiaoman.
Baili Hongzhuang patted Xia Zhiqing's shoulder and said, "Take your time to think it through."
Xia Zhiqing looked deeply at Baili Hongzhuang and nodded, "Okay."
Baili Hongzhuang smiled faintly and then picked up the sect manual to read.
The manual recorded their cultivation process in the Vermillion Bird Hall and the tasks they needed to do. Only by understanding all of this would they know what to do next.
Baili Hongzhuang carefully read everything recorded in the manual. Three days later, they could go to the martial arts training ground in the Vermillion Bird Hall in the morning to practice.
At Tian Gang Sect, the activities of cultivators were relatively free.
The training ground was divided into two parts: the meditation area and the martial arts area.
The meditation area was where disciples practiced together, while the martial arts area was where cultivators sparred and practiced martial arts with each other.
Most cultivators usually practiced in the training ground because each of the four main halls had special formations in their training grounds.
Practicing there would make the spiritual energy denser and allow cultivators to improve their strength faster.
Similarly, in the Vermillion Bird Hall, there were two rankings.
One was the cultivation ranking, which recorded the cultivation levels of all the disciples in the Vermillion Bird Hall.
The other was the combat power ranking, which recorded the combat abilities of the Vermillion Bird Hall disciples.
Cultivation level and combat power were not equivalent. Even cultivators with the same cultivation level could have different combat abilities.
These two rankings were usually displayed in the training ground, visible to anyone who came here.
This way, the cultivators at the bottom of the rankings would undoubtedly feel embarrassed.
Such a method also motivated the disciples to cultivate. After all, when everyone around you is making efforts to improve their cultivation, and you alone remain stagnant, you would feel ashamed.
Looking at these two rankings, cultivators could clearly see their positions within the Vermillion Bird Hall.
Here, the top three cultivators would have their cultivation resources doubled, while the bottom three cultivators would have their resources reduced by half. It was quite harsh.
