Everyone present was stunned by Wei Menglong's shamelessness!
Even Qi Zhouzhengping wanted to ask his former friend where he got the nerve to make such a request.
"Are you dreaming?" Bai Shengyi raised her voice, looking coldly at Wei Menglong.
Wei Menglong was unconvinced, "How am I dreaming? Aren't we teammates? Shouldn't we share fortune and hardship?"
Bai Shengyi hugged her chest and sneered.
"When you pushed Xunmeng out, why didn't you think about being teammates and sharing hardship? When you blamed me for dealing with the Xile Sect, why didn't you think about us being teammates and sharing hardship?"
If Wei Menglong was guilty when Bai Shengyi said the first sentence, then he was panicked when Bai Shengyi said the second.
Bai Shengyi had actually heard it?
He had spoken so softly behind her, and she could still hear it?
Bai Shengyi saw exactly what Wei Menglong was thinking, and her expression became even colder.
"Fellow Daoist Wei, while it's true that being shameless makes one invincible, there aren't many as shameless as you. However, you don't need to maintain this persona in front of us."
She unleashed her full aura, her mocking skills instantly maxed out.
"On what basis do you think I would share what I'm going to get with a malicious, hypocritical, cowardly, and timid wretch? Or do you think I, as captain, am really that good-tempered?"
"I haven't dealt with you because I was worried the pill competition would be short a person and I'd be criticized. It's not because you're truly indispensable, understand?"
Without even using her aura to suppress him, Bai Shengyi stood calmly in place, her eyes coldly looking at Wei Menglong. Wei Menglong felt like he could barely breathe.
Even though they were standing on the same ground, he felt as if Bai Shengyi was looking down at him from above.
And he himself was like an ant, easily crushed at her whim.
"On what basis are you so... um..."
Before Wei Menglong could finish speaking, he was forced into a muffled groan by the overwhelming killing intent, with seven or eight cold sweat beads appearing on his forehead. He was so scared he forgot everything else and immediately turned and ran!
"He... he just ran away like that? Shengyi didn't even do anything yet?" Xunmeng asked in disbelief.
She was small, and despite being extremely angry just now, Bai Shengyi had shielded her, so she hadn't had a chance to do anything.
Feng Wuya mocked, "He's just a conceited weakling. I don't know how the academy selected someone like him. Let's hope he doesn't mess things up."
Xunmeng was usually gentle and didn't like to gossip, but hearing Feng Wuya's words, she couldn't help but nod repeatedly, frowning and saying, "I wonder if it'll count?"
As she spoke, she manipulated an abacus a couple of times.
"How is it?" Bai Shengyi asked with great interest.
She had always felt that Xunmeng's divination skill was simply magical, as if nothing in the world held any secrets from them.
Xunmeng shook her head helplessly, "I can't figure it out."
What she didn't say was that it was probably because of Bai Shengyi. Ever since she became friends with Bai Shengyi, she had been unable to divine anything related to Bai Shengyi.
Well, it might also be her own issue.
After all, one who divines fate does not divine oneself.
"If you can't figure it out, then so be it. We'll just keep a closer eye on his movements," Bai Shengyi said, not disappointed by the answer.
Qi Zhouzhengping, however, felt very conflicted.
"Senior Disciple Bai," he stepped forward, stopping Bai Shengyi, hesitating to speak.
Bai Shengyi looked at his troubled expression, which was twisted like a rope, and proactively asked, "What is it?"
"I... thank you for the matter of the Fox Shadow. I misunderstood you back then."
Having said the beginning, the rest became easier to say. He continued, "Also, I want to apologize on Menglong's behalf. I never expected Menglong to become so selfish. He wasn't like this before."
"Oh, no, Qi Zhouzhengping, I don't agree with that. Why should you apologize for the mistakes that kid made?"
Feng Wuya familiarly hooked Qi Zhouzhengping's neck.
"Looking at that kid, it's clear that's his true nature. Who knows if what you saw before was him faking it? Speaking of which, the Tang family still has Tang Ying, but the Wei family is truly going downhill."
Qi Zhouzhengping was a bit bewildered.
Xunmeng said, "Extremes beget the opposite. Families that don't know how to restrain their members and cultivate the younger generation will eventually be overthrown, no matter how powerful they are."
"You're right," Bai Shengyi couldn't help but agree. "If nothing else, the Sun family and the Mei family are good examples."
Bai Shengyi was not good at comforting people. Seeing that Feng Wuya had already gotten along well with Qi Zhouzhengping with their arms around each other and Qi Zhouzhengping's emotions had stabilized, she turned to find Qin Si.
Although their relationship hadn't been publicly announced, they didn't hide it either. If anyone asked, they simply told them. As for the shocked students and elders... Bai Shengyi could only offer them an apology.
"Have you finished with them?"
Seeing Bai Shengyi enter, Qin Si naturally got up and pulled out a chair for her to sit down, then sat back down himself, scooping up the moon-white cat that was trying to escape into his arms.
The moon-white cat, which had just escaped from Qin Si's arms: "Meow!"
Bai Shengyi nodded.
Looking at the cat's soft fur, she also felt a desire to pet it.
"Isn't it quite heavy holding it, Er Gou? How about letting me hold it?" Bai Shengyi reached out to take the cat.
Qin Si's gaze lowered slightly, and he said calmly, "Aren't you still going to research that explosive pill of yours? I'll hold it then."
Little kitties are so good, you can pet them whenever you want.
Qin Si's words reminded Bai Shengyi of something. She remembered the gems she bought at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, so without saying another word, she ran out of the room again.
"Ayi?"
"I have something to do, and I'll probably be back late. Remember to have the Qingmeng Vine feed the cat."
Bai Shengyi's voice drifted from afar, and she had already run to the other side of the courtyard, where Qin Sanxiang and the others lived.
When Bai Shengyi entered, Qin Sanxiang had just finished her cultivation. Seeing her arrive, she immediately asked, "What is it?"
"I have something I need your help with. Do you know if there are any of us seeds who specialize in array formations?"
"What's wrong?" Qin Sanxiang asked doubtfully, "Did something happen?"
"It's nothing, I just want to use this Red Phoenix Feather ore gem to make a men's hair hairpin, and I want to engrave a few defensive formations on it, and then..."
Qin Sanxiang thought of the recent rumors and said with mixed feelings, "Are you giving it to Dean Qin?"
Bai Shengyi calmly retorted, "Why, is it not allowed?"
The two looked at each other in silence.
Finally, Qin Sanxiang let out an awkward laugh and conceded.
"Don't you think this gem is a bit too flashy?" Qin Sanxiang kindly reminded her.
Bai Shengyi shook her head, "No, I think it's just right."
Such a dazzling and eye-catching, brilliant and vibrant gem, wouldn't it be perfect for Asi?
Seeing this, Qin Sanxiang didn't say any more, but said, "Alright, I can handle the array formations for you, but I really don't know how to refine artifacts. However, you can go to Bai Xia for help. She's a sixth-rank artifact refiner."
"Sixth-rank?" Bai Shengyi exclaimed, "Is that even higher than Yun Youyue's rank?"
It wasn't that she was so surprised, but rather that ever since she came out of the Sanghai Secret Realm, this person named Bai Xia had been very low-key, never revealing her abilities.
After all, Bai Xia, along with Yun Youyue and Qin Sanxiang, had been called "fairies" by the academy students, which showed that she was also extraordinary.
But it was precisely such a person that Bai Shengyi wouldn't have even remembered if Qin Sanxiang hadn't mentioned her today.
