Insist on, Xia Yuqing!

As White Junyu spoke, Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but frown.

"Junyu, what do you mean?" Xia Zhiqing's eyes flickered with an incomprehensible light. "Red Zhuang is our good friend. Even if her current identity is extraordinary, what does it matter if we go to find her?"

White Junyu let out a sigh, his face showing a hint of struggle. "I know you consider Red Zhuang as your own sister without any other intentions. But how do you think the other disciples will perceive it? They will only think that we are trying to climb the social ladder!"

"When did you start worrying about these things? In the past, Red Zhuang was also the object of Emperor Beichen's affection. When we contacted her, why didn't you think we were climbing the social ladder then?"

Xia Zhiqing looked at White Junyu with confusion. "We have been through so much together with Red Zhuang. We are good friends. Where do all these complicated thoughts come from?"

Seeing Xia Zhiqing's increasingly strange gaze, White Junyu couldn't help but speak up. "Zhiqing, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

"What is there for me to be disappointed about?"

"Now the situation is clear. In the past, Red Zhuang never revealed her true identity when she was with us because she carried a deep grudge. Now that she has avenged that grudge, her identity is extremely precious. Do you think that with our current status, being friends with Red Zhuang is really appropriate?"

"Junyu, I don't know when your thinking became so narrow. For me, Red Zhuang is my good sister, she was in the past, she is now, and she will be in the future. Even if she really doesn't want me as a friend anymore, her position in my heart will remain unchanged. However, I believe even more that Red Zhuang is not as complicated as you think. None of this has changed."

Xia Zhiqing's gaze was firm, and her words were filled with confidence.

She had walked a long way with Bai Lihong Zhuang and had experienced many things together. She understood Bai Lihong Zhuang's character very well.

Bai Lihong Zhuang was never the kind of person who valued social status. If she were, they wouldn't have become friends in the first place.

Listening to Xia Zhiqing's words, White Junyu's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect Xia Zhiqing, who was usually carefree, to see things so clearly.

"Zhiqing, perhaps you're right. I've been thinking too much," White Junyu's voice became low, tinged with a hint of apology.

"Junyu, I know you've been influenced by others to think this way, but we can't easily be swayed by others. Remember how Red Zhuang did so much to help us be together? How could she be that kind of person?" Xia Zhiqing's gaze softened. Ever since the news about Bai Lihong Zhuang in the Lan family reached the Tian Gang Sect, it had caused a great shock throughout the sect.

Almost everyone was discussing this matter, and as friends who had a close relationship with Bai Lihong Zhuang, they naturally attracted a lot of attention from the disciples of the Tian Gang Sect. Many people came to inquire whether they knew the truth about everything.

Of course, in the end, they were left speechless by the questions.

Xia Zhiqing and the others didn't find anything inappropriate about it. After all, Bai Lihong Zhuang carried such a background, and even her identity as the granddaughter of the sect's master hadn't been revealed. How could such a deep-seated grudge be easily known by others?
