Mu Linyue stood quietly on her platform.
The pill rested in her palm, its glow steady and serene.
Her gaze lingered on Bai Zihan as he talked about something she didn't understand.
After all, she hadn't paid attention to anything other than pill refinement earlier and didn't know that Huo Shenyu had declared himself the winner previously and Bai Zihan was making fun of him for that.
She didn't know why Bai Zihan was going after them, but she wasn't planning to stop him either.
After all, everyone here knew that those from the Vermillion Pill Empire hadn't come with good intentions.
Meanwhile, Huo Shenyu stood frozen.
The humiliation weighed heavily on him.
Even the Vermillion Pill Empire's side had fallen silent, their earlier pride now replaced with an awkward heaviness.
Even though Bai Zihan was blatantly humiliating them, they couldn't do anything.
The atmosphere had turned suffocating.
At that moment, Huo Zhouchen stepped forward.
