"So, are you sure that the one you want is Baili Hongzhuang?" Situ Yan asked again.
Emperor Beixuan nodded heavily, "I'm sure. The only woman I've ever loved in my life is Hongzhuang."
Situ Yan looked deeply at Emperor Beixuan but didn't say anything.
Seeing Situ Yan's expression, Emperor Beixuan started to feel anxious.
His master had never shown any opposition before. Could it be that his master didn't actually agree?
Just as Emperor Beixuan was about to speak, Situ Yan's voice rang out.
"Now that you have made your choice, stick to it and don't hurt her."
Emperor Beixuan was momentarily startled, and then a joyful smile appeared on his face. "Master, rest assured, I will definitely stick to it."
"But..." Emperor Beixuan's expression showed a hint of helplessness. "Master, dealing with the Elder might not be easy."
Xiao Hongzhen and Jiang Yi had already been dealt with, but the Elder had been in the Tian Gang Sect for a long time, and they had never had any major conflicts.
It was only in this incident involving Han Xiling that the conflict between them arose.
Moreover, from the Elder's perspective, it wasn't difficult to understand.
"Never force a relationship for other reasons. Other issues will eventually be resolved, but once you miss the opportunity, it cannot be remedied."
After leaving these words behind, Situ Yan turned and left, leaving behind a somewhat desolate figure.
Seeing Situ Yan leave, a distant look appeared in Emperor Beixuan's eyes.
He felt that his master had spoken those words with deep emotion. There must be a story behind them.
Otherwise, his master wouldn't say such things.
At this moment, Emperor Beixuan suddenly realized that over the years, he occasionally saw a desolate look on his master's face.
It was said that his master had never been accompanied by any woman. He had never seen one by his master's side since he could remember.
Given his master's excellence, it was impossible for no woman to have liked him. But his master had never shown any interest.
Now he realized that his master must have already harbored someone in his heart, but he didn't know.
With these thoughts in mind, Emperor Beixuan grew even more curious. What had happened to his master in the past? What kind of woman could make his master so desolate?
After a moment of contemplation, he felt that he had to find an opportunity to learn more.
His master had never mentioned this matter over the years, but precisely because of this, he believed even more that his master had never let go.
If possible, he also hoped to do something for his master.
...
As the sky gradually darkened, the small world experienced a drop in temperature as night fell.
Baili Hongzhuang and her group continued on their journey. With their speed, they should have arrived at the city before nightfall. However, there were simply too many demonic beasts along the way.
The most important thing was that they encountered a group of demonic beasts midway, which took a considerable amount of time to fight off. As a result, they hadn't reached the city yet at this hour.
"Now I truly understand how terrifying the number of demonic beasts in this small world is. Their reproductive speed is also frightening!" Xia Zhiqing's face was filled with frustration. The obstacles were simply too many, one wave after another, making it extremely difficult to handle.
"If it weren't for the cultivators participating in the assessment who came here, I'm afraid that in a few more years, the small world wouldn't be able to accommodate all these demonic beasts."
