The stunning beauty of Bai Li Hongzhuang's face was adorned with a playful smile as she found the events that had occurred earlier quite amusing.
In her understanding, ancient ruins were always built by fallen powerhouses and not by living cultivators. So, it was quite unbelievable for her to encounter Yu Linfeng.
Upon careful consideration, she realized that Yu Linfeng's actions were quite reasonable. The reason why powerhouses constructed ancient ruins was to find suitable inheritors, ensuring that their legacies would not disappear from the world. Instead of waiting until they were about to fall, it made more sense to search for inheritors while still alive. This way, the transmission of their legacies would be more secure.
"When the assessment competition ended, did Elder Gu Taihong recruit you for this reason?" Emperor Beichen Chen immediately recalled the events that took place during the competition.
At that time, he found it strange when Gu Taihong tried to recruit Hongzhuang. Under those circumstances, it was clear to anyone that Hongzhuang couldn't join any other sect, especially considering Gu Taihong's usual astuteness and smoothness. He had always felt that something was amiss but hadn't been able to figure it out.
Now, hearing Hongzhuang's words, everything became clear to him.
Bai Li Hongzhuang nodded slightly. "Yes, Elder Gu asked me to visit the Wujin Palace. I plan to go there after returning from the Canglan Academy. Will you accompany me?"
"My wife has made a request, so naturally, I will accompany her," Emperor Beichen Chen replied naturally. After being separated from Hongzhuang for such a long time, he didn't want to be apart from her again.
Bai Li Hongzhuang's face bloomed with a radiant smile. Her already exquisite countenance became even more dazzling and captivating.
"That's wonderful!"
"My wife, what inheritance did you obtain from the Palace Master Yu?" Emperor Beichen Chen couldn't help but be surprised upon learning that Bai Li Hongzhuang had received Yu Linfeng's inheritance.
It was widely known that Yu Linfeng was an extraordinary genius. When he emerged, he swept away many outstanding cultivators and astonished the entire Saint Xuan Continent. No one knew where he came from, but his appearance instantly established him as an exceptional presence.
Under Yu Linfeng's leadership, the Wujin Palace grew increasingly powerful and quickly became one of the most renowned sects among the Ten Great Sects. However, Yu Linfeng himself was shrouded in mystery and rarely seen in person. There had never been any news about him accepting disciples.
Unexpectedly, Yu Linfeng had built a relic within the small world. Once this news spread, it was bound to cause astonishment, as Yu Linfeng's every move attracted significant attention.
Moreover, Yu Linfeng possessed several powerful techniques that were exceptionally formidable.
If Hongzhuang could receive the inheritance of one of these martial arts, her strength would undoubtedly increase significantly.
However, what Bai Li Hongzhuang said next stunned Emperor Beichen Chen.
"My master said he wants to hand over the Wujin Palace to me," Bai Li Hongzhuang said slowly.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Beichen Chen couldn't help but pause for a moment. He looked at Bai Li Hongzhuang with surprise and a hint of disbelief.
"What did you say?"
Even Emperor Beichen Chen, who was usually composed, couldn't help but be taken aback by Bai Li Hongzhuang's words.
