Hate, Tan Lehan

Even though he was extremely angry, Shen Xiuhan ultimately held back his frustration. As the top disciple of the Vermillion Bird Hall, it would be ungraceful and detrimental to him if he were to argue with Baili Hongzhuang. It would tarnish his reputation if news of their conflict spread.

After all, he rarely engaged in disputes with others and only resorted to teaching them a lesson with his strength. However, now it was not Baili Hongzhuang herself who spoke, but rather her contracted beasts.

If this were to be known, it would undoubtedly damage his reputation. Baili Hongzhuang could easily distance herself from this matter, but if he were to take offense secretly, it would make him appear petty.

Besides, he didn't need to rush to teach Baili Hongzhuang a lesson. After the upcoming competition among the four halls, he would use his own abilities to make Baili Hongzhuang understand that he wasn't just showing off!

The disciples of the Vermillion Bird Hall watched in anticipation as Shen Xiuhan remained silent. They couldn't help but admit that Shen Xiuhan always carried an arrogant and indifferent demeanor, lacking any approachability. Some disciples felt unhappy about it, but they could only swallow their grievances due to Shen Xiuhan's strength.

Now that Baili Hongzhuang's three contracted beasts had directly exposed Shen Xiuhan's facade, they found it quite satisfying. The clash between these high-ranking disciples was something they thoroughly enjoyed.

Tan Lehuan angrily glanced at Baili Hongzhuang, her bright eyes filled with anger and hatred. She had always admired Shen Xiuhan, considering him as her future partner. In her eyes, Shen Xiuhan was her everything.

Most of her cultivation achievements were thanks to Shen Xiuhan. Compared to Baili Hongzhuang's mockery towards her, she was more infuriated by Baili Hongzhuang's disrespect towards Shen Xiuhan.

No one had ever dared to speak about Shen Xiuhan in such a way before. Her idol was not to be defiled by anyone!

Tan Lehuan had etched this grudge in her heart!

The competition among the four halls would soon begin, and Baili Hongzhuang's arrogance wouldn't last long. On the contrary, Shen Xiuhan would be the protagonist of the upcoming competition!

Her greatest wish now was to meet Baili Hongzhuang on the stage, but the competition was structured in a way that disciples from different halls fought against each other. She feared that she wouldn't have a chance.

Because with Baili Hongzhuang's strength, she wouldn't even make it to the finals.

For Baili Hongzhuang, this incident was just an episode, nothing more. Soon, her gaze shifted to the high platform.

Amidst the awe and admiration of everyone, a figure dressed in faint gold slowly appeared in their line of sight.

The five Hall Masters quickly stood up and respectfully bowed to the handsome man who was approaching them.

The man seemed to walk in sunlight, exuding an unmatched elegance and grace, capturing everyone's attention like stars surrounding the moon.

In an instant, all brilliance seemed to be enveloped by Emperor Beichen, and all eyes were fixed on his figure.

Baili Hongzhuang's lips curled up with a faint smile. Emperor Beichen was such a stunning and outstanding presence, always the center of attention no matter where he went.

As Baili Hongzhuang sized up Emperor Beichen, his gaze also fell upon her.
