Emperor Beichen tightened his grip on Bai Li Hongzhuang's hand and looked at her with concern. However, he saw a calm smile on Bai Li Hongzhuang's face.
She had already prepared for these tricks long ago when she came to Tiangang Sect and didn't care about them at all. Besides, even if she did care, it wouldn't make a difference. Once she showed her strength, all these rumors would be debunked.
Rumors can be a frightening force, but when you completely disregard them, there will come a moment when you can slap the other person in the face with facts.
Bai Li Hongzhuang shook her head at Emperor Beichen, indicating that she was fine.
Seeing Bai Li Hongzhuang's calm and composed demeanor, with no sign of sadness or pain, Emperor Beichen finally relaxed. He knew that these rumors didn't emerge overnight, and explaining them now would be pointless. On the contrary, it could backfire.
"My wife, let's go inside," Emperor Beichen gently said.
"Okay."
A graceful smile bloomed on Bai Li Hongzhuang's lips, like an elegant lotus. She lightly nodded and followed Emperor Beichen inside.
Upon learning the news of Emperor Beichen's return, Han Xilin also felt delighted. It had been months since she last saw him.
"Miss, as you suspected, Young Master returned with Bai Li Hongzhuang. I heard that he held her hand all the time, showing great concern for her," Tao Congrong said while observing Han Xilin's expression. Her pretty face revealed a hint of displeasure and worry.
Upon hearing this, Han Xilin's cold and proud countenance curved into a scornful smile.
"This Bai Li Hongzhuang is quite audacious. She actually dared to come to Tiangang Sect with Emperor Beichen, thinking she's the mistress of Tiangang Sect, huh?"
Han Xilin narrowed her eyes, a glint of malice and coldness flickering within.
Last time, she had only lost face in front of Bai Li Hongzhuang due to a momentary lapse. But this time, with everyone in Tiangang Sect standing on her side, she would make Bai Li Hongzhuang realize the vast gap between them!
Her existence could never be compared to a woman from the grassroots like Bai Li Hongzhuang!
And Emperor Beichen was also someone Bai Li Hongzhuang couldn't possibly reach!
"That Bai Li Hongzhuang is shameless indeed, shamelessly following him here. But I believe she won't last long in Tiangang Sect," Tao Congrong said with a smile. She had never seen any woman capable of competing with her Miss. Bai Li Hongzhuang would be no exception.
Han Xilin nodded with a smile. She had already planned everything. Not to mention her position and reputation in Tiangang Sect, even the opposition from the elders would give Emperor Beichen a headache.
She didn't believe that Emperor Beichen would go against everyone's objections and act stubbornly!
As for Bai Li Hongzhuang, in a major power like Tiangang Sect, without sufficient background and strength, she couldn't establish herself here. Bai Li Hongzhuang's current thoughts were simply too naive. Han Xilin just hoped she wouldn't crumble under this kind of pressure.
"I think Young Master's behavior is truly outrageous. He clearly knows about your feelings, yet he shamelessly brings Bai Li Hongzhuang back like this," Tao Congrong expressed her dissatisfaction.
