Bai Liufeng's past friendship with the Emperor was still remembered.
He did not wish for others to say that he was someone to burn past bridges after crossing. So even with the many years of disappearance, the Emperor continued to abide by his promise of engaging his daughter to the Crown Prince.
Even after so many years of the Imperial Empress's constant ear blowing in regards to Bai Ruoli's appealing reputation, the Emperor refused to show the slightest hint of wavering. He never could make the final decision.
Furthermore, when he saw that Bai Liufeng's daughter grew to be quite attractive, graceful and elegance, and so skilled in the qin. Apart from her inability to cultivate, she did not have any shortcomings causing the Emperor to be unable to say any words of refusal.
But, Bai Ruoqi was far too outstanding!
At age fifteen, she had reached the ninth level of the Qi Profound Realm!
