Understand, friends

"Red Zhuang, we've already heard about your news, and it's truly shocking!" Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but speak as soon as she saw Bai Lihong Zhuang.

"I never expected your true identity to be like this. You hid it so well before," she continued.

White Junyu and the others walking behind remained silent. After being separated for months, they didn't know what to say. With Xia Zhiqing speaking up first, they felt somewhat relieved.

Upon hearing this, a trace of apology appeared on Bai Lihong Zhuang's face. "I was too insignificant in the past to confront the Lan family, so I never revealed this."

"I didn't intentionally hide it from you, but when my parents were persecuted, it would have been dangerous if Lan Jingkuang and others knew I was still alive in this world."

The others, who had harbored some grievances before, completely understood after hearing Bai Lihong Zhuang's words. They had only thought that she hid so many secrets, but they hadn't realized the risks involved.

"Red Zhuang, I was just joking. I didn't mean to blame you," Xia Zhiqing quickly explained. "I know you have your reasons for doing all this."

Bai Lihong Zhuang smiled slightly and held Xia Zhiqing's hand. "I know, you're my good sister, and you've always stood by my side."

"Red Zhuang, congratulations! You've finally avenged your big grudge, and it must be a huge relief!" Dongfang Yutao's eyes sparkled, and a joyful smile appeared on his face. He had always admired and respected Bai Lihong Zhuang.

Bai Lihong Zhuang nodded. "It was easier to resolve than I imagined, and there wasn't much risk involved. It was just putting an end to the internal conflict in the Lan family."

"Red Zhuang, when did you find out that you're the Sect Master's granddaughter? It was truly shocking when this news came out. Did you already know before attending the Canglan Academy?" Liu Qin Yue asked with curiosity, but her concern was more evident.

Previously, she couldn't help but want to compete with Bai Lihong Zhuang, but as the gap between them grew larger, she let go of that idea.

Bai Lihong Zhuang and she were originally from different worlds.

If she continued to hold a comparative mindset, it would only lead her into a dead end.

With Liu Qin Yue's words, curiosity appeared on the faces of Xia Zhiqing and the others. They could understand everything else, but the fact that Bai Lihong Zhuang was the Sect Master's granddaughter didn't seem to match up!

After all, when Bai Lihong Zhuang found out about Emperor Beichen's identity in the past, she also felt some pressure. Xia Zhiqing, as her good friend, knew this better than anyone.

If Bai Lihong Zhuang had known this all along, then this question wouldn't even exist.

Bai Lihong Zhuang shook her head and said, "I didn't know before. It's actually quite a coincidence. I wasn't aware of my own identity before."

"It was only when Beichen saw the Lan family token on me that I realized I belonged to the Lan family. And it was when I came to the Tian Gang Sect, and the Sect Master saw the resemblance between me and my grandmother at first sight, that I slowly learned the truth."

"In fact, my grandfather also found out about his daughter just recently."
