The rigid atmosphere in the council hall only changed slightly when Bai Li Hongzhuang appeared.
The gazes of the four hall masters and the elders all fell upon Bai Li Hongzhuang. She was the main reason for today's council meeting.
In that moment when Xiao Hongzhen and others saw Bai Li Hongzhuang, a complex mix of surprise, admiration, and confusion flashed in their eyes.
Bai Li Hongzhuang's image was quite different from what they had imagined. Although she was a young lady from a general's mansion in an ordinary dynasty, her appearance was far from being a simple and delicate beauty in their eyes.
Dressed in a simple white gown, she exuded an elegant and pure aura, giving off a sense of extraordinary beauty despite her unassuming attire.
Her stunning face seemed like a masterpiece carefully crafted by the heavens, flawless in every aspect.
Even though they had seen countless people, they couldn't help but be amazed when they saw Bai Li Hongzhuang.
Her pair of pitch-black eyes radiated a pure and tranquil light, akin to the radiance of moonlight, calmly facing everyone present.
Seeing Bai Li Hongzhuang's brilliance, Emperor Beichen's tense expression softened slightly.
He had long expected that it wouldn't be easy for everyone to accept Bai Li Hongzhuang's presence, but he didn't expect Xiao Hongzhen and Jiang Yi to be so aggressive.
Since things had reached this point, he decided to let everyone get to know Bai Li Hongzhuang properly.
"Hongzhuang, come and sit here," Emperor Beichen smiled lightly, motioning for Bai Li Hongzhuang to come over and patting the seat next to him.
Seeing Emperor Beichen's actions, the expressions of Han Hongyi and the others changed slightly.
If Bai Li Hongzhuang were truly the wife of the Young Sect Master, sitting in that position would be natural and there wouldn't be any issue. But since everyone was still dissatisfied with this matter, Emperor Beichen's actions were equivalent to completely disregarding their presence.
Bai Li Hongzhuang observed Emperor Beichen's expression and, from the moment she entered the council hall, she already knew that the atmosphere inside was undoubtedly terrible.
Having been together with Emperor Beichen for so long, she rarely saw him angry. However, she knew that he was now displeased.
A faint smile curved at the corner of Bai Li Hongzhuang's lips as she replied, "I am new to Tian Gang Sect today and haven't had the chance to meet the elders and hall masters. I'll just stand here for now."
The reason she came to Tian Gang Sect was to let everyone accept her willingly, not to force it upon them.
Hearing Bai Li Hongzhuang's response, Emperor Beichen wasn't angry either. He knew his wife was always courteous. His words were meant to give everyone a clear signal.
In his eyes, Bai Li Hongzhuang was already the wife of the Young Sect Master of Tian Gang Sect, and he wouldn't allow these people to interfere too much!
The reason he was willing to let everyone get to know Hongzhuang was merely out of respect for their status as elders.
However, some of the elders present felt a slight fondness for Bai Li Hongzhuang after hearing her words.
Originally, they had thought that Bai Li Hongzhuang was a woman who sought to climb the ranks of power. But upon seeing her, they realized that she was completely different from what they had imagined. Just her temperament and appearance easily evoked a favorable impression in their hearts.
Now, seeing Bai Li Hongzhuang's politeness, their favorable impression deepened slightly.
