"I arrived a bit late, Master, and I hope you can forgive me."
"As long as you're here, it's good. Since I allowed you to cultivate together with Di Beichen, I naturally anticipated that you wouldn't come early."
Yu Linfeng's face was filled with a loving smile. He knew very well the bond between Baili Hongzhuang and Di Beichen. That's why he didn't ask Baili Hongzhuang to return to Wujin Palace for cultivation during this period.
Seeing Yu Linfeng's knowing expression, Baili Hongzhuang felt a bit shy.
"Hongzhuang, this time you're participating in the Battle for Supremacy as the leader of Wujin Palace. You have already met some of the core disciples who will accompany you, a few among them. The rest are also core disciples, but they have been in seclusion and you haven't met them yet."
"I have reserved a position for you and informed everyone of your identity. However, the friction between disciples will need to be resolved by you."
Yu Linfeng's voice was warm and elegant, but the implications were clear.
As the Palace Master of Wujin Palace, he could naturally help Baili Hongzhuang dispel any doubts and dissatisfaction among the disciples. However, since Baili Hongzhuang was his chosen successor, she naturally needed to have the ability and leadership to stand on her own.
It was good for young people to face some setbacks. If someone helped her smooth everything along the way, her growth would be limited.
Baili Hongzhuang had been absent recently, and the disciples had speculated about it.
After all, he had never mentioned this matter before. It was only after the participants for the Battle for Supremacy were determined that he announced it, but he didn't mention Baili Hongzhuang's name.
He felt that this was a good opportunity for Baili Hongzhuang to introduce herself. It would achieve better results than him, as her Master, introducing her.
"Lin Feng, why don't you introduce Hongzhuang to everyone tomorrow? It would save us some trouble. The Battle for Supremacy is an important event, and if the disciples have internal conflicts, it will affect the performance of Wujin Palace."
Nangong Wumei furrowed her brows slightly. It was a simple matter, but Yu Linfeng always made it complicated.
"Wuer, I have my reasons for doing this."
Listening to Yu Linfeng's words, Baili Hongzhuang also understood his intentions. This could be considered a test from Yu Linfeng to her.
"Master, I will handle this matter properly. Please rest assured."
Throughout the journey, her Master had paved the way for her. If she couldn't even earn the respect of her teammates, it would be a disappointment to her Master.
Since she learned that she would participate in the Battle for Supremacy as the Young Palace Master of Wujin Palace, she had already prepared herself to face everything.
Seeing Baili Hongzhuang calmly accepting it without considering it a challenge, Yu Linfeng's appreciation for her deepened.
During these days, he could feel that Baili Hongzhuang was diligently cultivating on the Heavenly Stairway every day, showing her dedication and hard work.
It had been less than a year since they separated, but Baili Hongzhuang had made such tremendous progress. He truly admired her.
Initially, he thought that Baili Hongzhuang would face considerable difficulties with her current strength, but now, after sensing her actual power, he was completely at ease.
"I believe in you, my disciple."
Yu Linfeng patted Baili Hongzhuang's shoulder. Since the moment Baili Hongzhuang climbed the final level of the Heavenly Stairway with sheer willpower, he knew she wouldn't disappoint him!
