Xuanyuan Huan nodded and said, "Baili Hongzhuang also participated in the assessment competition, and we encountered her during the competition."
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Yutian and Jiang Jinying couldn't help but exchange a glance, their expressions filled with some confusion.
"Why would Baili Hongzhuang participate in the assessment competition?" Xuanyuan Huan shook his head and replied, "I don't know either. Her strength has improved a lot compared to before. If it wasn't for Baili Hongzhuang's help, we would have been completely defeated."
Xuanyuan Yutian and Jiang Jinying immediately understood the meaning behind Xuanyuan Huan's words, and they were somewhat surprised.
"Baili Hongzhuang actually willingly lent a helping hand, this is truly..."
They were already grateful when Baili Hongzhuang spared them in the past, but they didn't expect her to be willing to help them now.
Recalling all the things they had done to Baili Hongzhuang before, they truly felt guilty.
Xuanyuan Huan's heart also felt heavy. It was because of Baili Hongzhuang's actions that he realized how terrible he had been in the past.
However, he also understood that Baili Hongzhuang's actions were merely a coincidence and not because of any special consideration for him.
In Baili Hongzhuang's heart, there was no place left for him...
While Xuanyuan Huan was discussing the situation with Xuanyuan Yutian and others, Baili Haoxuan was having a conversation with Baili Zhentao.
"Father, I encountered Baili Hongzhuang in the assessment competition."
As Xuanyuan Huan's words fell, Baili Zhentao's expression couldn't help but change slightly. "How is she doing?"
"She is no longer the same as before. She achieved first place in the assessment competition and has become a disciple of the Tian Gang Sect from now on. Moreover, Emperor Beichen personally went to the assessment competition to bring Baili Hongzhuang back. All the cultivators in the competition were shocked."
Thinking back to what happened during the assessment competition, Baili Haoxuan found it incredible.
Baili Hongzhuang, who was once ridiculed by everyone, had become a figure that attracted attention from all. Not only that, Emperor Beichen turned out to be the young master of the Tian Gang Sect.
All of this had given him a tremendous shock. However, just by looking at Xuanyuan Huan's expression at that time, he knew that Xuanyuan Huan had already been aware of this.
"Father, did you already know that Emperor Beichen is the young master of the Tian Gang Sect? Then why didn't you tell me before?"
Baili Zhentao didn't immediately answer Baili Haoxuan's question. His thoughts were completely immersed in the fact that Baili Hongzhuang had achieved first place.
First place, in the assessment competition, it was such a glorious achievement!
Baili Hongzhuang was originally his daughter. If he had treated Baili Hongzhuang well before, he would have truly basked in this supreme glory.
However, all of this had been destroyed by his own hands.
Now, upon hearing all this, he felt an overwhelming sense of suffocation in his heart.
"Whether I knew or not, what difference does it make?" Baili Zhentao sighed with a hint of regret. The once imposing aura had faded away, and these few years had aged him considerably.
Seeing Baili Zhentao's aged appearance, Baili Haoxuan hesitated for a moment but decided not to say anything more.
Yes, whether he knew or not made no difference at all.
In fact, before he knew about all this, he felt somewhat relieved. But after finding out, the burden on his heart became even heavier.
He felt an immense regret for everything he had done in the past, but there was no chance for redemption anymore.
