You are a hero!

However, the scene just now with Baili Hongzhuang clearly wasn't pretend. She was truly prepared to give up.

As the crown prince, he understood the tangled web of interests all too well. The first place in the academy exchange competition was a true honor, but Baili Hongzhuang was willing to give up her original advantage. It was evident that she didn't value fame and fortune so highly.

Just as he had learned, Baili Hongzhuang's humiliation of Nangong Aochen earlier wasn't for her own sake, but for Dongfang Yuyu.

In this regard, Baili Hongzhuang was truly extraordinary.

As Baili Hongzhuang and Gong Shaoqing returned to the team of Canglan Academy, Cui Haoyan and the others looked at them with a mix of emotion and admiration.

"Cui Haoyan, although I've always wanted to compete with you, this time, I admire you!"

Cui Haoyan gave a thumbs-up to Gong Shaoqing. In terms of strength, Gong Shaoqing had always been his rival, but he truly admired Gong Shaoqing's magnanimity.

"You are our hero!"

Xia Zhiqing also gave a thumbs-up. At a time like this, words seemed pale, but Gong Shaoqing was undoubtedly their worthy hero.

Liu Qin Yue also walked to Gong Shaoqing's side. She didn't say anything, but Gong Shaoqing had always been her hero, and today's choice by Gong Shaoqing further showed her the breadth of character her admired man possessed.

Feeling the gazes of everyone, Gong Shaoqing's cold and stern face remained unchanged. "I just don't want the other academies to take advantage."

Although he said so, everyone clearly felt that there was a hint of unnaturalness in Gong Shaoqing's icy expression. Did this guy actually feel embarrassed?

In an instant, everyone smiled at each other. As long as they understood in their hearts, it was enough.

Lu Huaiyan's eyes also shimmered with appreciation and contentment. It was truly a blessing for Canglan Academy to have such a group of students who were harmonious and had a broad perspective.

On the other hand, the expressions of Lu Jingqi and the others couldn't help but change slightly. Their eyes held a hint of irony.

"Canglan Academy's cultivators really like to pretend to be magnanimous. Gong Shaoqing is only pretending on the surface, but who knows how frustrated he actually feels inside?"

Lu Jingqi sneered coldly. As cultivators, they understood the importance of the academy exchange competition platform. No one would willingly give up.

If it weren't for the situation forcing Gong Shaoqing to give up, he would never have done so.

"Who knows why they like to pretend to be great. Baili Hongzhuang is no different," Lü Jinglin mocked. She had never seen cultivators so generous before.

Xiao Lanmei's gaze fell slowly on Baili Hongzhuang and the others. In fact, she had never seen the same kind of friendship among other cultivators. She believed that everything Baili Hongzhuang and the others did wasn't a pretense because the trust they showed among companions couldn't be faked.

It could only be said that the students of Canglan Academy had a cohesion that other academies lacked. They valued not just their own interests, but also their emotions.

Perhaps many people would say that the cultivators of Canglan Academy were too naive, but in reality, this kind of bond was the most important.

The so-called interests were nothing but an empty shell in the end. Apart from coldness, there was nothing else.
