The talisman that Zhou Ying posted is no ordinary item; it is a secret treasure passed down from the Bai family ancestors, capable of instantly weakening a person's abilities and affecting the test results.
Previously, Zhou Ying had discussed with Bai Di that if Bai Di felt that someone might surpass her in this test, she would use this talisman to deal with that person.
No matter what, she was determined to make sure her little flute came in first place!
Today is Xiaodi's big day, and she won't let anyone ruin it.
Fortunately, Xiaodi remained confident and didn't say anything that anyone could surpass her, nor did she hint that she should take action.
Zhou Ying was still thinking how outstanding her daughter was; she wouldn't need the talisman today.
But she never expected that the person who came to cause trouble would be Bai Ying!
And she... actually put this talisman on her own daughter...
Zhou Ying is always so unprincipled. Before, she was still immersed in regret, lamenting that she had been too biased and had shown little care for Bai Ying.
She secretly vowed countless times in her heart that if Bai Ying could come back to life, she would do everything in her power to make amends and give Bai Ying endless love.
But to her surprise, Bai Ying actually appeared in front of her, and the first thing she did to Bai Ying was this!
She was well aware that Bai Ying had made such a boast, yet she was unable to demonstrate her abilities, which would make her look foolish and cause her great distress.
But right now, all she could think about was not letting Bai Di suffer any injustice.
Bai Di had taken in all of Zhou Ying's actions, and the huge weight that had been hanging over his heart finally lifted.
She had been secretly worried that her mother would soften her heart when facing Bai Ying, out of consideration for their blood ties, and be reluctant to use the talisman. Now it seemed that her worries were unnecessary; her mother ultimately favored her more.
Thinking this, a subtle, smug smile instantly appeared on Bai Di's face. His previously tense body relaxed immediately, and he looked incredibly confident.
She looked up at Bai Ying, her words full of sarcasm: "Sister, even if you put your hand on me, you have no chance of beating me. In my opinion, you should take back what you just said, 'First place is mine,' so as not to humiliate yourself and lose face later."
As soon as Bai Di uttered her words, her fervent admirers in the audience immediately began to jeer.
"Exactly! They don't even know their own limitations. First place definitely belongs to Bai Di!"
"A genius like Bai Di deserves first place. This Bai Ying, who appeared out of nowhere, dares to spout such arrogant words. It's laughable!"
However, the members of the Lingyin Sect and a few who knew Bai Ying's prowess stood up to refute her. They disapproved of Bai Di and his group's arrogance and firmly believed that Bai Ying possessed genuine talent and was not someone who spoke carelessly.
Faced with all this, Bai Ying remained calm and did not argue much. She simply said, "As I just said, whether my words are arrogant or not will be clear once the test results are out." After saying that, she did not hesitate any longer and placed her hand steadily on the testing stone.
The testing stone lit up instantly, and everyone present stared at it, though many looked at it with disdain.
After all, in their hearts, Bai Di had already won first place, and it wasn't someone that just anyone could surpass with a few words!
Bai Di also looked at Bai Ying's test results with great pleasure.
With her mother helping her deal with Bai Ying, Bai Ying is sure to make a fool of herself this time.
Bai Ying thought she could surpass her, but little did she expect that she would only ever be below her, forever trampled under her feet!
The color of the light emanating from the testing stone in Bai Ying's hand began to change. The testing stone changed from white to yellow, and then from yellow to orange.
Bai Di looked at Bai Ying triumphantly. She knew the power of that talisman. The test stone had almost turned orange and shouldn't change any further.
Bai Ying uttered such arrogant words, yet all she could do was turn orange. She could already imagine how the people present would laugh at her.
The joy in Bai Di's heart was about to fill her entire being.
But to Bai Di's surprise, the color of the testing stone kept changing. It went from orange to a deeper color and then turned red!
"How is this possible?" Bai Di's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.
She clearly remembered watching her mother stick the talisman on Bai Ying's body. Logically speaking, Bai Ying's strength should have been greatly weakened, so how could the test stone have turned red?
Could it be that Bai Ying's own strength is so terrifying that even when affected by the talisman, she can still turn the test stone red?
As the test stone turned red, the jeers that had been rising and falling at the scene abruptly stopped.
After all, in the entire square, those who can make the testing stone turn red are extremely rare.
At this moment, everyone realized that Bai Ying was by no means as mediocre as they had previously thought. Even if she ultimately failed to defeat Bai Di, the red test result alone was enough to prove her extraordinary nature.
Even Bai Di was relieved; thankfully, they had placed that talisman on Bai Ying, otherwise she would definitely have surpassed him.
But before Bai Di could even relax, the color of the testing stone changed again.
At that moment, everyone present was stunned!
Today, the deepest color they've seen in the testing stone is red. Could it be that Bai Ying is really as powerful as Bai Di said?
Otherwise, the color of the test stone wouldn't be changing!
Everyone held their breath, their eyes glued to the testing stone. The light grew deeper and deeper, the color more intense, until finally, it settled firmly in purple!
Everyone could hardly believe their eyes, and an uproar ensued.
"Oh my god, purple! I'm not seeing things, am I? It's actually purple!"
"Just who is this Bai Ying? What she said is actually true! She really has surpassed Bai Di! My god, that's purple!"
The disciples of Lingyin Sect were exceptionally proud: "I told you, Bai Ying would definitely take first place!"
However, before they could even be too shocked, the color of the testing stone changed again.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets!
