After everyone had left, Emperor Beichen walked hand in hand with Baili Hongzhuang towards their residence.
"My wife, by speaking so boldly today, you have cut off all possible retreats," Emperor Beichen said, his thin lips pursed, his deep and profound eyes filled with a worried gleam.
He understood that Baili Hongzhuang had spoken in such a manner solely for his sake. Her words had given him face in the face of the Elder and the two Hall Masters' overbearing attitudes.
Baili Hongzhuang wanted to prove to everyone with her own strength that his judgment was not wrong!
Emperor Beichen felt guilty about this. According to reason, he should be the one resolving these issues. He had always wanted to support Baili Hongzhuang and create a bright future for her. However, he was currently unable to suppress all the dissatisfaction and opposition within Tian Gang Sect.
Because of this, Baili Hongzhuang had ended up being wronged, and he felt extremely remorseful.
As Baili Hongzhuang raised her head, she caught sight of the worry and guilt in Emperor Beichen's beautiful eyes. She tightened her grip on his hand and a gentle and captivating smile appeared on her delicate face.
"Don't you believe in my abilities?" she asked.
Emperor Beichen shook his head. "Of course, I believe in you."
Baili Hongzhuang's talent was unquestionable, considering she had passed the trial of the Blood Qi Tower. If it weren't for the damage to her dantian, her cultivation would definitely be higher than just Orange Stage First Grade.
At the thought of this, Emperor Beichen couldn't help but think of the colorful divine bead within Baili Hongzhuang's dantian.
If that incident hadn't occurred, Baili Hongzhuang would surely be the center of attention in the entire Shengxuan Continent by now, just like Leng Qingyan of the Lan family.
Baili Hongzhuang was the true gem!
Hearing Emperor Beichen's response, the smile on Baili Hongzhuang's lips widened. "That's right, I will definitely pass the assessment contest. Just as they said, if I can't even pass this contest, then I indeed have no qualification to be your wife."
In this world, fairness didn't exist. Although love had no conditions, when there was a disparity in their identities, they both needed to make efforts to bridge the gap and be together.
Emperor Beichen gazed at Baili Hongzhuang. At this moment, she looked like a lotus flower emerging untainted from the mud—pure and beautiful—calming his originally heavy heart.
"My wife, thank you," Emperor Beichen spoke after a moment. At this moment, apart from these words, he didn't know what else to say.
He wanted to express his gratitude to Baili Hongzhuang for her understanding, support, and confidence. Her unwavering strength always made him feel an indescribable heartache.
It had been quite difficult for Baili Hongzhuang to come this far from being an incapable waste at the beginning. Furthermore, the mystery of her background was like a heavy burden pressing down on her.
Now, she had to bear unnecessary pressure just to be with him, and his heart was filled with guilt and heartache.
"Beichen, from the moment we were together, we became one. Everything we do now is for our future. If we're talking about gratitude, then I should be the one thanking you," Baili Hongzhuang said.
If Emperor Beichen wasn't with her, she believed that he would have already resolved these sect issues. She also had some understanding of Emperor Beichen's methods.
Although Emperor Beichen was still young, he was decisive and efficient in his actions. He never dragged things out, and moreover, he had various means at his disposal.
Once he made up his mind, resolving problems would not be difficult.
