Emperor Beichen pursed his thin lips, his face inscrutable and his deep and cold eyes. Three years had indeed brought about many changes in Tian Gang Sect. He was no longer the young child he once was, and Han Hongyi's actions were tantamount to questioning his decisions.
As the young sect master of Tian Gang Sect, his words were unquestionable.
With Emperor Beichen's words, Han Hongyi and the others couldn't help but feel a chill. They hadn't forgotten that Emperor Beichen was the true sect master of Tian Gang Sect, and his authority far surpassed theirs.
Unconsciously, they still treated Emperor Beichen as the young sect master from three years ago, thinking that he needed their help in making decisions.
But now, Emperor Beichen had completely changed. He was capable of making all the decisions himself.
"We dare not," Han Hongyi and the others quickly saluted under Emperor Beichen's imposing manner. When the sect master was absent, the young sect master represented the sect.
Emperor Beichen's gaze swept over Han Hongyi and the others before finally falling on Jiang Yi's figure.
"Master Jiang, Hongzhuang is now my wife and also the wife of the young sect master of Tian Gang Sect. You should know what kind of punishment awaits those who defame the young sect master's wife!"
His cold gaze pierced through Emperor Beichen like an icy blade. He had long been disgusted with Jiang Yi and the others, intending to deal with them properly when Hongzhuang participated in the selection competition. But since Jiang Yi couldn't restrain himself now, he wouldn't be polite either.
The low and warning words resounded in Jiang Yi's ears, and his expression instantly turned ugly.
Emperor Beichen had completely taken on the demeanor of the young sect master. But in this position, Jiang Yi couldn't refute Emperor Beichen in the slightest.
"If you don't believe it, I will let you witness the truth yourself. But be prepared for the consequences of this punishment. If such remarks appear again in the future, I will hold you accountable!"
Emperor Beichen's words were resolute and forceful. He waved his hand, and the person quickly left the council hall to inform Baili Hongzhuang.
His wife had always been his pride, and these people dared to question Hongzhuang. He would let everyone know the truth, and from then on, no one would dare to question even a bit!
Jiang Yi's face darkened, his eyes flashing with sinister and resentful light.
Although Emperor Beichen's words seemed convincing, he didn't believe them.
The information he had received couldn't be false, otherwise Emperor Beichen wouldn't be so angry.
Han Hongyi's heart was also filled with uncertainty. Jiang Yi's words couldn't be baseless, but Emperor Beichen's resolute and unwavering attitude didn't seem like a joke.
The selection competition was approaching, yet Emperor Beichen had brought Baili Hongzhuang back to Tian Gang Sect. Could it be that he intended to let Baili Hongzhuang stay in the sect permanently?
For a while, the entire council hall fell silent.
Everyone had different thoughts, and they could only wait until Baili Hongzhuang arrived to know the truth.
...
With the appearance of Tao Congrong, the fight between Han Xilin and Baili Hongzhuang was forced to stop.
Han Xilin looked at Tao Congrong with confusion. "You said Grandfather summoned Baili Hongzhuang to the council hall?"
Tao Congrong immediately nodded. "That's the news I just received. They asked Baili Hongzhuang to go to the council hall immediately."
Han Xilin naturally understood that Tao Congrong wouldn't lie, and he immediately shifted his gaze to Baili Hongzhuang. The displeasure on his face was still evident.
