Baili Hongzhuang gazed at Han Xiling with faint eyes, her slender phoenix eyes filled with a radiant smile, displaying a natural yet proud demeanor.
Identity was nothing more than an excuse brought up when one couldn't obtain something. It held no power to harm her in the slightest.
If Han Xiling thought that such words could strike her, then she was sorely underestimating Baili Hongzhuang.
Baili Hongzhuang had no intention of directly tearing apart her face with Han Xiling. However, since Han Xiling had already initiated the conflict, she saw no reason to swallow her pride.
Baili Hongzhuang had always enjoyed facing her enemies head-on!
Detecting the mockery in Baili Hongzhuang's words, Han Xiling's expression stiffened momentarily. She had always stood high above, like the stars surrounding the moon. Now, someone dared to mock her?
Suppressing her anger forcefully, Han Xiling's eyes flickered with a touch of coldness. "Imperial Brother has only been in a low point for three years, providing you with an opportunity. However, this definitely isn't the final result."
Baili Hongzhuang immediately noticed the unrest in Han Xiling's eyes. It seemed that in Han Xiling's heart, Di Beichen held a significant place.
Otherwise, with Han Xiling's personality, her emotional fluctuations wouldn't be so pronounced.
"If that's the case, why don't you wait until that day to come and threaten me? At least for now, you're nothing more than my defeated subordinate."
Leaving behind a proud and enchanting smile, Baili Hongzhuang continued walking towards Di Beichen's direction.
Han Xiling had never managed to capture Di Beichen's heart in over ten years. Now it was even more impossible, but Han Xiling herself hadn't realized it yet.
Perhaps she had already understood, but refused to admit it.
Han Xiling watched the departing figure of Baili Hongzhuang with a growing intensity in her eyes. That damned Baili Hongzhuang! Did she really think she was someone exceptional?
With her status, killing Baili Hongzhuang was as simple as crushing an ant!
Xia Zhiqing glanced coldly at Han Xiling. Since the first glance she had at Han Xiling, she hadn't formed a good impression. Now it seemed that Han Xiling truly was an unpleasant person.
The gazes of the others fell upon Han Xiling and Baili Hongzhuang, and it appeared that Baili Hongzhuang had won the first round of their confrontation.
Seeing this, Yan Lingxuan approached Han Xiling's side, concern shimmering in his bright eyes. "Han Miss, are you alright?"
Han Xiling raised her gaze to glance at Yan Lingxuan and countered, "Why wouldn't I be alright?"
Yan Lingxuan's face displayed some embarrassment upon hearing her response. Han Xiling's question made it difficult for him to provide a suitable reply.
"I... I was just concerned about you."
"Thank you for your concern, Yan Gongzi. I'm fine."
Han Xiling's elegant countenance exuded a sense of detachment and indifference. After leaving behind those words, she didn't speak further and returned to the Tian Gang Sect's group on her own.
Ji Daier and the others looked at Yan Lingxuan's embarrassed appearance, revealing smiles on their faces. "Yan Lingxuan, don't make things difficult for yourself. Han Xiling has lofty standards. Aside from Di Beichen, she doesn't even look at others."
Ji Daier's smile carried a hint of mockery. She had also had quite a few interactions with Han Xiling, and this woman was truly beyond the ordinary. Others simply didn't catch her attention.
Hearing Ji Daier's words, Yan Lingxuan's face turned somewhat unsightly, but he couldn't help but admit that there was indeed a significant gap between himself and Di Beichen.
