Instantly, everyone in the square focused their attention on Bai Ying.
A girl, about the same age as Bai Di, was walking step by step toward the location of the testing stone.
Bai Ying glanced at Bai Di lightly. Didn't she want to take first place based on her own spiritual root? She wouldn't let her have her way!
Some of the sect elders' eyes lit up when they heard the voice, but when they saw that it was a little girl who was speaking, the expectation in their eyes dimmed.
Who is this?
Many people in the audience had never seen Bai Ying before. Although Bai Xiushi was famous, due to Qi Haoyuan's protection of Bai Ying, many people did not know that Bai Ying was Bai Xiushi, and even fewer people knew what she looked like.
She suddenly appeared here, and most people in the scene did not recognize her at all.
Everyone looked at her with some curiosity, but didn't take her seriously. After all, how could a cultivator of her age possibly compare to Bai Di?
White Whistle was the first person they had ever seen to achieve such a feat at the age of 18.
Those who had seen her stared wide-eyed, their hearts pounding.
The sect leader of Xingyao Sect was a little worried, but when he looked closely and saw that it was just a little girl who had come forward, his slightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed, and the worry in his eyes quickly turned into undisguised disdain. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, forming a mocking arc.
He tilted his head slightly, looking at Bai Ying with a hint of disdain, and asked loudly, "May I ask your name and which sect you belong to?" His tone was as if he were questioning an ignorant junior who did not know the rules and had barged in.
Bai Ying smiled and said, "I am Bai Ying from the Lingyin Sect. I have come to participate in the test."
Bai Di stood on the stage, the smug smile on his face instantly freezing the moment he saw Bai Ying. He stood there dumbfounded, as if he had been frozen in place.
She never expected that she would see Bai Ying in this place!
Her face instantly turned extremely pale, a mixture of overwhelming fear and anger swirling within her.
"That damn bastard was supposed to be dead, right? How is she still alive?!"
She roared furiously in her heart, her nails digging deep into her palms, leaving crescent-shaped marks.
Bai Ying's parents rubbed their eyes repeatedly, unable to believe their eyes.
"Bai Ying! It's Ying'er!"
Zhou Ying was so excited that she almost burst into tears.
Ever since she learned of Bai Ying's death, she has regretted her favoritism every day.
If only she had been kinder to Bai Ying back then.
Even though Mingying was also her daughter, her heart was always with Baidi.
After learning of Bai Ying's death, she regretted it for a long time, but she never expected that Bai Ying would still be alive.
She excitedly said to the white eagle beside her, "It's Ying'er, our Ying'er is still alive."
Bai Ying nodded, but his expression was clearly not as excited as Zhou Ying's.
He knew better than anyone the hatred between Bai Ying and Bai Di. Now that Bai Di had taken Bai Ying's spiritual root, what would happen if Bai Ying found out?
Their eyes were fixed on Bai Ying, but Bai Ying didn't even glance at them.
He walked straight toward the testing stone.
At that moment, someone in the audience suddenly shouted, "Tell me, she suddenly appeared just when Bai Di was about to be announced as the winner. What place can she get?"
The person who said this was from Xingyao Sect. He was disgusted by Bai Ying's interruption of Bai Di's first place and clearly wanted to make her look bad.
At this moment, another member of the Star Radiance Sect quickly chimed in:
"What place can this clown possibly get? He'd be lucky if he didn't come in last. After all, everyone knows that cultivators this age can only reach the Foundation Establishment stage at most. Do you think everyone is Bai Di?"
"But......"
The man from before glanced smugly at Bai Ying and said in an exaggerated manner, "I just heard people from the Lingyin Sect say that as long as she's here, she's guaranteed to get first place! Bai Ying, you better not disappoint us!"
His words immediately caused an uproar.
They never expected that the people of Lingyin Sect would be so arrogant, daring to say such things.
"As long as Bai Ying is there, we can get first place. That's simply a fantasy."
"Have the people from the Lingyin Sect gone mad with their desire to be number one? To have such unrealistic daydreams is utterly laughable!"
"That's incredibly arrogant! What kind of understanding do they have of Bai Ying that they're so blindly confident? It's just outrageous."
Everyone looked at the Lingyin Sect members, fully expecting them to be so ashamed and embarrassed by the wave of doubts that they would want to disappear into the ground.
To everyone's surprise, they all puffed out their chests and proudly declared, "Our sect's Bai Ying is destined for first place!"
Their gazes then turned to Bai Ying, expecting her to be eager to clarify that they were just joking in private.
To everyone's surprise, Bai Ying sneered and said:
"Since I'm here, first place is naturally mine!"
Everyone present was in a state of shock and disbelief, staring at them in utter astonishment.
No one expected Bai Ying to say such a thing!
Have all these people from the Lingyin Sect gone mad? Don't they understand what the significance of first place means? This isn't something they can just boast about casually!
"How dare Bai Ying be so arrogant! How could she say such a thing!"
"They're completely obsessed with their dreams, utterly oblivious to the vastness of the world! Do they really think they can just take first place as they please?"
But Bai Ying's expression remained arrogant amidst these voices, and she walked directly to the testing stone.
Whether my words are arrogant or not, the test results will tell you.
Bai Ying coldly glanced at everyone and placed her hand directly on the testing stone.
