Dissatisfied Baili

As Qiao Yingze and the disciples of the Medicine Sect departed, the disciples of the Tiangang Sect dispersed. Although they had only met briefly, there was an instinctive sense of disgust among everyone towards the alchemists of the Medicine Sect. This feeling was even more pronounced among the alchemists of the Tiangang Sect, who were infuriated by the disdainful attitude of the Medicine Sect.

However, they had to restrain themselves from showing their true feelings due to the surface-level friendliness. Nevertheless, while the Tiangang Sect disciples concealed their emotions, the disciples of the Medicine Sect were quite explicit in their behavior.

"Let's return as well," Bai Li Hongzhuang said, turning to Xia Zhiqing and the others beside her. Now that the disciples of the Medicine Sect had returned to their lodgings, there was no need for them to stay any longer.

Xia Zhiqing nodded slightly, "Tomorrow is the day of the Alchemist Competition, but I'm afraid the alchemists from the Medicine Sect are formidable opponents. I wonder if our sect's alchemists can handle them."

The brows of Gong Shaoqing and the others furrowed. Although they were not alchemists themselves, as members of the Tiangang Sect, they fully supported their sect in such matters.

"Normally, I already feel that the alchemists in our sect are haughty, but compared to the alchemists of the Medicine Sect, the disciples of our Alchemy Hall are much more approachable!" Dongfang Yu's lips curled slightly, his smile carrying a hint of teasing and banter.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Xiaoman and the others nodded in agreement, sharing the same sentiment.

"Most of the disciples in the Medicine Sect are alchemists, but there are also some cultivators among them. I can't imagine how these cultivators in the Medicine Sect feel when faced with this group of arrogant alchemists," Yuan Zhixin marveled inwardly. If it were him, even if these individuals were prestigious alchemists, he would long to deliver a punch to them.

A shallow smile played on the lips of Bai Li Hongzhuang, while hidden depths of her eyes surged with a glint of darkness. The attitude of these cultivators from the Medicine Sect was clearly deliberate provocation, indicating that the Medicine Sect was no longer interested in maintaining even a superficial friendliness.

She couldn't quite understand why the Medicine Sect would act this way. Compared to other sects that revered strength, the Medicine Sect stood out, primarily focusing on the development of alchemy. Due to the lack of competition, the Medicine Sect held a highly significant position.

It was natural for the Medicine Sect to desire growth and expansion, but their rigid relationship with the Tiangang Sect seemed far from a wise move. She had a premonition that in this alchemist competition, either the Medicine Sect would slap the Tiangang Sect in the face or vice versa.

In either case, the relationship between the two sides could no longer be as respectful and harmonious as before. To be honest, she also felt disgusted and impatient with the attitude of the disciples from the Medicine Sect. They treated themselves as the most exceptional existences, looking down on others.

The disciples of the Tiangang Sect dispersed, with Xia Zhiqing and the others returning to their respective halls. Bai Li Hongzhuang, on the other hand, went back to the main chamber of the sect leader. She felt that what she had witnessed today differed somewhat from her expectations. There seemed to have been some developments, and she intended to understand the thoughts of her grandfather and Emperor Beichen.

Upon returning to the main chamber, Bai Li Hongzhuang found Lan Yunxiao and Mu Lingbing enjoying the flowers. When they saw Bai Li Hongzhuang, both of them spontaneously smiled.

"Hongzhuang, you're back," Mu Lingbing beamed, "Did you happen to see the alchemists from the Medicine Sect?"
