Are you questioning me?

Jiang Yi's words undoubtedly dropped a bombshell in the Council Chamber, and everyone's gaze fell upon Emperor Beichen.

Even the usually composed Qin Ai couldn't help but show a look of disbelief after learning this news.

Although there were no strict social classes within Tian Gang Sect, as the young master of the sect, Emperor Beichen should at least possess exceptional strength.

But a waste?

That was something completely unacceptable!

"What did you say? Bai Li Hongzhuang is a waste?" Han Hongyi repeated Jiang Yi's words in disbelief. He hadn't conducted much investigation into Bai Li Hongzhuang's identity.

In fact, until Emperor Beichen brought Bai Li Hongzhuang back, he had always believed it was just an impulsive act, a playful whim of Emperor Beichen's that didn't really matter. He had no intention of seeking information about it.

However, when he saw the deep and determined expression on Emperor Beichen's face when he mentioned Bai Li Hongzhuang, he understood that Emperor Beichen's feelings were not fleeting, he truly had fallen in love with Bai Li Hongzhuang!

Qin Ai's gaze also fell upon Emperor Beichen. He had always admired Emperor Beichen and supported his decisions.

Even if the woman Emperor Beichen married was unknown in the Holy Profound Continent, he never objected. But if Bai Li Hongzhuang truly was a useless person who couldn't cultivate, then it would be truly unacceptable.

Tian Gang Sect had always valued strength above all else, and having the Sect Master's wife as an ordinary woman with no power would be a joke if it became known.

Furthermore, judging from Emperor Beichen's behavior, Bai Li Hongzhuang held significant importance in his heart.

If Bai Li Hongzhuang had no means to protect herself, she would undoubtedly become Emperor Beichen's weakness, and they would not allow such a vulnerability to exist.

"She is not a waste," Emperor Beichen frowned, giving Jiang Yi a cold glance before continuing, "Her cultivation talent is outstanding, without a doubt."

Although Bai Li Hongzhuang had been considered a waste in the past, Emperor Beichen knew that her cultivation talent was extremely remarkable. In fact, he believed that her talent surpassed his own!

Just the recent breakthrough Bai Li Hongzhuang had made in the Blood Abyss was astonishing. Given enough time, Bai Li Hongzhuang would surely become renowned in the Holy Profound Continent!

"Young Master, please don't lie just to defend Bai Li Hongzhuang..." Jiang Yi pretended to express concern.

Xiao Hongzhen and Jiang Yi exchanged a secret glance, both of them wearing a slightly smug expression.

Old habits die hard.

They were well aware of Emperor Beichen's actions since his return, and removing their power would not be so easy for Emperor Beichen. On the contrary, they would constantly create obstacles for him.

"I'm stating the truth," Emperor Beichen said in a deep voice. "Elder Jiang is overthinking."

Han Hongyi and Qin Ai exchanged a glance and said, "Let's bring Bai Li Hongzhuang here first."

Han Hongyi and Qin Ai knew that Jiang Yi was not accepting of Emperor Beichen, but they also knew that Jiang Yi wouldn't say such things without evidence.

Regardless, they needed to confirm it first.

Just as Han Hongyi was about to send someone to fetch Bai Li Hongzhuang, Emperor Beichen's voice suddenly rang out.

"Hold on!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's gaze once again fell upon Emperor Beichen.

"Who questions what I say, as the Grand Elder?"
