In fact, this was not only the thought in Bai Li Hongzhuang's mind, but she also noticed that when she pointed towards that particular passage, the Chaos Ring on her finger trembled slightly.
This was the first time since she obtained the Chaos Ring that it had guided her so clearly.
Previously, she had been testing it out and discovered that sometimes the ring remained still when she pointed towards the passages, while other times it trembled, each time with varying intensity.
Among them, the passage that caused the strongest tremors was the one she had chosen. Therefore, without hesitation, she decided to take that path.
Emperor Bei Xuan glanced at the chosen passage and nodded, "Wherever my wife chooses, we will go."
However, just as Emperor Bei Xuan was about to take action, Han Xi Ling suddenly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Big Brother, I think that passage is not good. Let's choose the middle one instead."
The atmosphere became tense with Han Xi Ling's words, as she inadvertently gave Emperor Bei Xuan two options.
Bai Li Hongzhuang remained indifferent and said, "Then I'll go in first."
At this moment, she had no intention of competing with Han Xi Ling for meaningless authority. Others had already started moving, and she couldn't afford to delay any longer.
With her words spoken, Bai Li Hongzhuang didn't hesitate any further and headed straight for the leftmost passage.
Han Xi Ling watched as Bai Li Hongzhuang left without arguing, a hint of smugness flashing in her eyes. She then said, "Big Brother, we..."
However, before Han Xi Ling could finish her sentence, Emperor Bei Xuan interrupted her and said, "Xi Ling, since you believe the middle passage is the right one, then go ahead. With your strength, you should be able to handle it. I'll go first."
Emperor Bei Xuan walked towards the direction where Bai Li Hongzhuang was without any hesitation. He had already stated before that he wouldn't leave Bai Li Hongzhuang alone.
He understood Bai Li Hongzhuang's proud nature after spending a considerable amount of time with her. Han Xi Ling's appearance probably had already caused some displeasure in Bai Li Hongzhuang.
With Bai Li Hongzhuang's proud disposition, she wouldn't bother competing for such a trivial matter.
He knew he should resolve this matter completely.
Seeing Emperor Bei Xuan leave without any hesitation, Han Xi Ling's expression turned extremely ugly.
In the past, Emperor Bei Xuan had never treated her in such a manner. His direct departure meant that he didn't give her any face.
In just three years, Emperor Bei Xuan had changed so drastically.
At the moment when Bai Li Hongzhuang walked into the passage, Emperor Bei Xuan once again held her hand.
"Wife, you can't leave your husband alone from now on!"
Emperor Bei Xuan's words, containing a hint of teasing but also seriousness, reached Bai Li Hongzhuang's ears. Her hand was already enveloped in a warm embrace.
Bai Li Hongzhuang turned her gaze and saw Emperor Bei Xuan's smiling and indulgent face so close to her, radiating warmth.
He ultimately made his choice without hesitation and followed her footsteps. A smile slowly formed at the corner of Bai Li Hongzhuang's mouth.
She understood that Emperor Bei Xuan's attitude towards Han Xi Ling was due to their many years of acquaintance. And now, Emperor Bei Xuan's attitude clearly showed his stance. Besides the bond of many years, there was nothing more between him and Han Xi Ling.
Bai Li Hongzhuang held Emperor Bei Xuan's hand in return, her smile shallow and charming. "Let's go!"
Only Han Xi Ling stood in place, watching their retreating figures, her eyes filled with extreme hostility.
