"Ahem, the princess has arrived!" Someone in the crowd shouted, and the noisy crowd immediately fell silent.

Qianxue was clearly satisfied with everyone's actions, and led the group behind her toward Beiyan with an imposing air.

Everyone made way for her as she passed by, which shows how influential Qianxue usually was in the academy.

"Bei Yan, it's been a long time!" Qian Xue spoke first, her bright face still beaming with a cheerful smile.

"It's been a long time, Your Highness." Come to think of it, it seems like she hasn't seen Qianxue for several years.

It turned out that Bei Yan would run away after receiving the reward each time. She didn't like crowds, so she never saw Qian Xue, who was almost always in second place.

However, Bei Yan still remembers that Qian Xue liked to pick on him when they were little. There was no way around it; the little girl's flamboyant aura was too unforgettable.

"I heard you've refined a pill." Qianxue crossed her arms, the wind lifting her red dress, revealing her sharp edge.

"Just a low-grade pill, not worth mentioning." Bei Yan had a perfectly measured smile on her face. She didn't want to cause trouble, because she really couldn't be bothered to deal with it.

It's just childish behavior; this old auntie doesn't want to take it to heart.

"Tch, what a nice way to put it. You know it's just a low-grade pill, yet you still have the nerve to spread it around the academy, making it known to everyone. Now you're putting on this pretentious act. Who are you trying to disgust?"

Lin Lu spoke up sarcastically, she just couldn't stand Bei Yan being good! It was all because Bei Yan's father was always going against her own father!

Bai Lian, standing to the side, tugged at Lin Lü's sleeve, her delicate face full of disapproval. "Lü'er, please don't say that. Sister Bei Yan definitely didn't mean it."

Beiyan "..."

Whatever, as long as you're happy.

They themselves were too lazy to bother with Qianxue, let alone two nobodys.

"Alright, you two, shut up! Are you ever going to stop?!"

Seeing Bei Yan's unmoved expression, Qian Xue felt inexplicably irritated. Lin Lü and Bai Lian kept talking behind her, which only fueled her anger.

In truth, she knew better than anyone that Bei Yan was truly remarkable, a truly extraordinary genius.

She just didn't want to admit that she had never been as good as Bei Yan since she was a child.

She came here only to hear Bei Yan tell her in person that she had indeed successfully refined the elixir.

His fingers clenched tightly. Although he was unwilling, he had to admit that he was no match for Bei Yan.

A fighting spirit ignited on her bright and flamboyant face as she met Bei Yan's eyes. "Bei Yan, you wait, this princess will surpass you sooner or later!"

After saying that, she turned and left. The group of people who had come with her saw that Qianxue had left, touched their noses, and followed her.

Before leaving, Lin Lu glared fiercely at Bei Yan, while Bai Lian glanced at Bei Yan, looking apologetic.

Bei Yan returned a polite but not entirely respectful smile, and did not forget to say, "Respectfully seeing off Your Highness, please take care."

Only when Qianxue and her group disappeared from everyone's sight did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

This princess usually has a very high and mighty attitude, so they dare not offend her.

"Wow, junior sister, I didn't expect you to be so magnanimous. You weren't even angry when Lin Lu said those things to you."

"Yeah, yeah, if it were me, I would definitely have started a fight with her. Lin Lu is always so mean-spirited! She's really annoying."

Everyone started talking at once, all complaining about their dissatisfaction with the people from earlier. Bei Yan didn't interrupt, just listened with a slight smile.
