Girl Baili, make a friend?

Upon seeing Bai Li Hong Zhuang leave, Han Xiling couldn't help but stare at her figure, a indescribable resentment accumulating in her chest.

She, Han Xiling, had always been proud, a brilliant star among many talented cultivators. She had never thought she would lose to anyone in matters of love.

Yet, she had lost to a woman who only had looks.

"Whatever, it won't be long before Bai Li Hong Zhuang disappears from my sight."

Han Xiling consoled herself. There were too many people now, and she couldn't ruin her image.

She was just a young miss from the General's Mansion. She had plenty of means to eliminate her, more than enough!

Bai Li Hong Zhuang walked slowly towards the tightly closed stone door, attracting the attention of many cultivators. They were constantly searching for a way to open the door.

Other cultivators lounged lazily near the stone door. They had examined every inch of it during this time but hadn't found any mechanism.

Moreover, they had even joined forces to attack the stone door, but its hardness far exceeded their imagination.

No matter what they did, the stone door wouldn't open.

Seeing Bai Li Hong Zhuang's arrival, the cultivators from the Ji Family made way for her. After all, Bai Li Hong Zhuang had previously saved Ji Daier, and they owed her a debt of gratitude.

The disciples of the Tian Gang Sect also made way. Although they followed Han Xiling, Emperor Beichen's wife held a significant status as well.

Bai Li Hong Zhuang examined the stone door in front of her. It was similar to the stone door in the ruins, with the only difference being its size.

Moreover, the mindset of the owner of this ruin was different from others. She had to think in ways that others wouldn't consider in order to find a way to open the door.

As Bai Li Hong Zhuang searched for mechanisms on the stone door, Lin Xirou had unknowingly approached her side.

"Miss Bai Li, I'm Lin Xirou," Lin Xirou introduced herself politely and gently.

Upon hearing this, Bai Li Hong Zhuang turned slowly and looked at Lin Xirou beside her. "Hello, Miss Lin."

She had a deep impression of Lin Xirou. Although Lin Xirou didn't express much and they hadn't had any communication, Bai Li Hong Zhuang could tell from some later events that Lin Xirou was an intelligent woman.

If she wasn't intelligent, with her gentle appearance, she wouldn't have gained a certain status within her family.

On the contrary, there must be no shortage of people who would bully her.

"I greatly admire Miss Bai Li's abilities. I wonder if we can be friends?" Lin Xirou asked with a smile.

Her gentle and humble demeanor was comforting and relaxing, making it impossible to find a reason to refuse.

Bai Li Hong Zhuang's lips curled into a shallow smile, and her expression didn't change the slightest due to Lin Xirou's words. She lightly chuckled, "Of course, it would be my honor to be friends with Miss Lin."

It was similar to the situation when Xia Zhiqing proposed to be her friend. However, Xia Zhiqing was a genuine friend, while Lin Xirou was merely an exchange of interests.

If her speculation was correct, Lin Xirou and Han Xiling's relationship should be bad, which was why she came to seek friendship.

Seeing Bai Li Hong Zhuang readily agreeing, Lin Xirou was also somewhat surprised. She had initially been worried that Bai Li Hong Zhuang would be difficult to get along with, but now it seemed that she had overthought it.
