Keep secret

Qin Ai and Gu Jingqing both understood that from today onwards, Bai Li Hongzhuang's identity was already different from before.

In the future, they would undoubtedly take good care of Bai Li Hongzhuang. Although this news couldn't be revealed for now, they could no longer treat Bai Li Hongzhuang with their previous attitude.

Seeing Qin Ai and Gu Jingqing's attitude, Situ Yan nodded in satisfaction.

Both Qin Ai and Gu Jingqing were trustworthy elders in the sect. With the two of them and Emperor Beichen, Hongzhuang no longer needed to worry about her days in Tiangang Sect.

"Master, since Miss's identity needs to be kept confidential for now, how about we address her as an ordinary cultivator in public?" Gu Jingqing asked.

If they wanted to keep the secret, they needed to be more careful in front of others.

"That is appropriate," Situ Yan spoke slowly, his gaze falling upon Bai Li Hongzhuang. Many things were still unresolved at the moment, and Hongzhuang could only endure for now.

After they rescued Lan Yunxiao and Mu Lingbing, Hongzhuang could clear her name.

Feeling Situ Yan's concerned gaze, Bai Li Hongzhuang smiled lightly. "Grandfather, don't worry about me. I don't mind these things. Being able to be recognized by you is the most joyous thing for me."

She didn't care about anything else.

She had lived like this for years, and these false titles wouldn't affect anything.

Seeing Bai Li Hongzhuang's calm demeanor, everyone understood that her words came from the bottom of her heart. She truly didn't care.

Observing Bai Li Hongzhuang in this manner, Qin Ai and Gu Jingqing couldn't help but sigh.

Before, they already felt that Bai Li Hongzhuang had an extraordinary temperament, nothing like an ordinary cultivator who emerged from a small dynasty.

Now that they knew Bai Li Hongzhuang's true identity, they finally understood that she was never an ordinary person to begin with.

Most young people were vain, but this trait couldn't be seen in Bai Li Hongzhuang at all. She truly lived up to being the sect master's granddaughter.

Emperor Beichen admired Bai Li Hongzhuang and looked at her with appreciation. His wife was always so understanding.

Situ Yan patted Bai Li Hongzhuang's shoulder, his gaze filled with even more affection.

Having Bai Li Hongzhuang as his granddaughter was truly a great blessing for him.

After understanding everything, Qin Ai and Gu Jingqing took their leave. The sect master and Bai Li Hongzhuang had just recognized each other, and there were surely many things to discuss.

They stayed behind, knowing that it would disturb them otherwise.

Once they left the master's chamber, a look of astonishment couldn't help but surface on Qin Ai's face. "Miss is actually the sect master's granddaughter. This news is truly astounding. Could it be that Miss came to Tiangang Sect before to establish her identity?"

Gu Jingqing pondered and shook his head. "I don't think so. If that was her purpose, Miss would have recognized the sect master long before participating in the assessment competition. You saw the confirmation stone earlier."

Hearing this, a deep light flashed in Qin Ai's eyes. "That's true. The Grand Elder had been bothering the sect master and Miss about recognizing each other, and he even made moves outside. No wonder the sect master got so angry."

Gu Jingqing and Qin Ai exchanged a glance. At this moment, they had no intention of interceding on behalf of the Grand Elder.

They could only say that the Grand Elder was truly oblivious to the situation and had ended up shooting himself in the foot.
