"What? Yi Qinglian?!" The surrounding crowd was stunned.
The expressions on the faces of the monk and Yi Qinglian changed drastically at almost the same time. The monk, in particular, looked as if he'd been struck by lightning, completely frozen.
Seeing this, Gao Neng knew his guess was right.
The person Shaximo—the Esoteric Monk ranked first on the Dragon List—liked was also Yi Qinglian. That explained the arrogance Yi Qinglian had displayed ever since she walked in.
With an admirer like that, it'd be strange if Yi Qinglian *wasn't* arrogant.
Shaximo's timely appearance was also explained. After all, who could stand by and watch the person they loved get publicly humiliated by someone else?
The atmosphere in the lab turned strange.
Everyone exchanged glances.
However, not everyone was completely surprised.
Shaximo's affection for Yi Qinglian wasn't a huge secret among some of the major sects; there were still people in the sects and great families who knew about it.
