Emperor Beichen's face turned terrifyingly dark. That cunning and scheming woman, that strong, decisive, and resolute woman—the woman he, Emperor Beichen, had promised to marry—had actually perished!
"Crack!"
Emperor Beichen slammed his palm on the finely crafted pear wood table, and a terrifying force shot out, sending the wooden table flying into the wall. Hei Mu was thrown to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood before collapsing heavily.
The table had already turned into a pile of powder.
Hei Mu climbed up from the ground, supporting his injured body as he knelt before Emperor Beichen once again.
It was his failure to protect the person most valued by the Young Master. He deserved to die a thousand deaths!
Emperor Beichen's eyes were cold and sharp, like a wolf on the grassland, glinting with a chilling light and overflowing with killing intent.
However, Emperor Beichen waved his sleeve dismissively. "Follow me to Canglan Academy!"
As long as he didn't see Bai Li Hong Zhuang's corpse, he would not believe that the clever and intelligent girl had perished!
"But, Young Master, your current..." Hei Mu's words were cut short as the sharp gaze of a hawk locked onto him. If he dared to say another word...
Silence.
Hei Mu didn't dare to say another word. The fact that the Young Master didn't kill him already exceeded his expectations. If he dared to speak again, the Young Master would surely show no mercy.
However... the Young Master was currently at a crucial moment of reclaiming his power. If he left now, it would undoubtedly lead to more trouble.
Seeing the determination and resolve in Emperor Beichen's eyes, Hei Mu understood that the Young Master had made up his mind.
It seemed that he had underestimated the weight Bai Li Hong Zhuang held in the Young Master's heart.
Originally, although he felt that the Young Master treated Bai Li Hong Zhuang differently, others didn't know that. He, on the other hand, was well aware that the Young Master and Bai Li Hong Zhuang were only in name husband and wife, without the actual relationship. Therefore, he didn't consider Bai Li Hong Zhuang as the true Young Master's wife.
But now, it seemed that Bai Li Hong Zhuang was indeed the Young Master's true wife.
At the thought of this, Hei Mu's heart sank even further. It was all his fault!
Bai Li Hong Zhuang and the other three had traveled for several days, but because the entrance road was occupied by demonic beasts, they had to take a detour, wasting a lot of time.
Along the way, almost everyone was discussing the tide of demonic beasts. From the sorrowful expressions on some people's faces, it was evident that they had lost loved ones in the Fallen Cloud Mountain Range.
Canglan City.
When Bai Li Hong Zhuang and the others arrived in Canglan City, astonished and delighted gazes fell upon them.
Gong Shaoqing and the others, as prominent figures of Canglan Academy, had gone to the Fallen Cloud Mountain Range for a mercenary mission, which was already known to very few.
Almost everyone was concerned about their safe return because escaping from the tide of demonic beasts was extremely difficult.
During the past half month, male and female students in the academy were extremely worried.
Dongfang Yu and Gong Shaoqing were objects of admiration for many female students. Even if they weren't close, they were still the subjects of their fantasies!
If their fantasy objects were to disappear like this, their days at Canglan Academy would become incredibly boring.
Liu Qinyue was also the dream girl of many male students at Canglan Academy. She was their dream lover.
Although it was widely known that Liu Qinyue admired Gong Shaoqing, it couldn't stop their inner fantasies.
Not only Liu Qinyue, but Bai Li Hong Zhuang, who had just arrived at the academy, was also the object of admiration for many male students.
In terms of appearance and charm, Bai Li Hong Zhuang was no less than Liu Qinyue. Liu Qinyue had found her beloved, but Bai Li Hong Zhuang was new to the academy, and they were filled with hope!
