After hearing the questioning words from Situ Yan, Qin Ai and Gu Jingqing's gazes towards Han Hongyi were filled with complexity.
The actions of the Elder today were indeed too impulsive. To act so recklessly and even disregard the orders of the Sect Master, it was truly crossing the line!
Even they, who had just arrived, could sense the anger of the Sect Master. The Elder had truly angered the Sect Master today.
It had been a long time since they had seen the Sect Master get angry. When the Sect Master got angry, it meant that the situation was extremely serious.
"I dare not," Han Hongyi's face turned pale as he quickly explained that he had no intention of disrespecting the Sect Master.
How great of a presence was the Sect Master? He had always held the Sect Master in high regard and would never have the slightest thought of defiance.
However, he couldn't understand the situation today. Even though the Sect Master was protecting Bai Li Hongzhuang, it shouldn't have made him so angry.
Earlier, due to Xi Ling's demise, his mood had been bad, and he hadn't been responsible for Sect matters during these days. The Sect Master had never blamed him for it.
However, now that he just wanted to confront Bai Li Hongzhuang, the Sect Master became so furious. It was really strange.
Han Hongyi didn't know that he had disturbed Situ Yan and Bai Li Hongzhuang when they were recognizing each other. This was the first time Situ Yan had seen his granddaughter in so many years, and it was easy to imagine his anger.
"You dare not?" Situ Yan's face was filled with anger as he spoke sternly. His dignified face seemed like a roaring tiger, and his sharp gaze was as piercing as a falcon, as if he could see through Han Hongyi's heart.
Listening to Situ Yan's reproachful and angry words, Han Hongyi couldn't help but shudder. He couldn't understand what was going on with the Sect Master.
Qin Ai and Gu Jingqing were also confused. The Sect Master today was clearly different from usual. Could it be that the situation was not as simple as it seemed?
Di Beichen quietly watched the scene before him. He understood the significance of this recognition for his Master.
However, being disturbed multiple times by the Elder in this situation, anyone would be furious.
Bai Li Hongzhuang stood quietly on the side. Han Hongyi had really dug his own grave.
She was happy to be able to recognize her grandfather, but the atmosphere had been completely ruined by Han Hongyi.
Han Hongyi also noticed Bai Li Hongzhuang's gaze, and his anger surged even higher. It was because of Bai Li Hongzhuang's appearance that he ended up in this situation. But now, she dared to stand behind the Sect Master and look down on him. Did she really think he had no way to deal with her?
Thinking of this, Han Hongyi made up his mind and spoke up, "Sect Master, there must be an undeniable connection between Bai Li Hongzhuang and Xi Ling's death. Xi Ling was someone you watched grow up. Are you just going to let her die so unjustly? I only wanted to confront Bai Li Hongzhuang face to face. What is wrong with that?"
Han Hongyi spoke confidently, thinking of the scene of Han Xiling's demise, his heart ached. Since the Sect Master was already angry, he might as well make his words clear. He wanted to see if the Sect Master would continue to be furious after hearing his words. After all, he hadn't done anything wrong!
