Difficulty

The Hall of Discussion.

Emperor Beichen, the four Hall Masters, and the elders furrowed their brows elegantly. "What is it that the four Hall Masters and the elders want to discuss with me?"

"You have returned too late this time, Young Sect Master," Han Hongyi said with a frown.

The selection competition was always an important matter for the sect. It required discussions among the major factions. Emperor Beichen's late return naturally caused some dissatisfaction.

However, Emperor Beichen remained unmoved in the face of Han Hongyi's sigh. "As far as I know, the specific discussions for the selection competition will begin in three days, and the location is not far from the Tian Gang Sect. Elder Han, it seems like you are making a fuss over nothing, don't you think?"

Emperor Beichen remained calm and composed, his words carrying a hint of warning and sarcasm.

Upon hearing Emperor Beichen's words, Han Hongyi was momentarily stunned and fell into silence. He had no idea that Emperor Beichen was already so well-informed about the assessment competition.

"Young Sect Master, what is the meaning of bringing Bai Li Hongzhuang back to the sect?" Xiao Hongzhen, the Hall Master of the Azure Dragon Hall, asked slowly.

"Hongzhuang is my wife. Is there a problem with me bringing her back?" Emperor Beichen responded with a rhetorical question.

Xiao Hongzhen's brows furrowed, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. "You're simply making a mess of things!"

"What do you mean by that, Hall Master Xiao?" Emperor Beichen's expression remained calm as he looked indifferently at Xiao Hongzhen.

Xiao Hongzhen had always wanted to support his favored disciple, Ji Yangxia, to become the Young Sect Master of the Tian Gang Sect. Therefore, their relationship was already strained.

If it weren't for Xiao Hongzhen's persistent instigation back then, Emperor Beichen would not have left the Tian Gang Sect.

He had chosen to leave because he couldn't stand on his own at that time. He couldn't guarantee whether he would be able to stand up again in the future, and he didn't want his master's Tian Gang Sect to be affected because of him.

In that situation, he chose to leave.

And now that he had already stood up, he wouldn't let Xiao Hongzhen continue to be so arrogant.

"You are the esteemed Young Sect Master of the Tian Gang Sect, yet you have taken an unknown girl as your wife. Doesn't this turn the entire Tian Gang Sect into a laughingstock?" Xiao Hongzhen sneered. He had initially thought that Emperor Beichen's return would pose a threat to them, but he didn't expect that things would become more and more unreliable after Emperor Beichen's return.

Especially Emperor Beichen's stubborn insistence on being with an ordinary girl, wasn't this making a mockery of the situation?

If Emperor Beichen had chosen to be with Han Xilin, with the support of the Grand Elder, he truly wouldn't have any way to deal with Emperor Beichen.

But Emperor Beichen chose to do it this way, which was just creating an opportunity for him, wasn't it?

"Hall Master Xiao is right. Young Sect Master, your actions will have a significant impact on the Tian Gang Sect," Jiang Yi, the Hall Master of the White Tiger Hall, chimed in.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Beichen's gaze silently swept past Jiang Yi. The Azure Dragon Hall and the White Tiger Hall had always been on good terms, and Xiao Hongzhen and Jiang Yi belonged to the same camp.

Now that Xiao Hongzhen had taken action, Jiang Yi naturally echoed his sentiments.

Emperor Beichen chuckled lightly, "I don't know how much impact this matter will have on the Tian Gang Sect. The two Hall Masters seem to be thinking too seriously about it. After all, my master never said that I must marry a distinguished girl..."
