Baili Hongzhuang and Emperor Beichen were oblivious to the impact their situation had on Yuan Hongyang and the others. They simply rode on the flying beast, braving the cold wind.
"My lady, would you like to accompany me back to Tian Gang Sect this time?" Emperor Beichen asked, raising an eyebrow with a hint of confusion. "I thought you would enter Tian Gang Sect after participating in the selection competition."
They had already discussed this beforehand. Baili Hongzhuang wouldn't go to Tian Gang Sect without proving her qualifications. Whether it was for Emperor Beichen's reputation or her own pride, she wouldn't take any shortcuts.
Observing Baili Hongzhuang's puzzled expression, Emperor Beichen's lips curved into a charming and mischievous smile.
"What I mean is, why don't you come with me to Tian Gang Sect and have a look? The selection competition is about to begin, and I will ask Heimu to inform Xia Zhiqing and the others to prepare for it. You can accompany me, and we can directly participate in the competition, saving us the trouble of back and forth journeys."
Hearing his words, Baili Hongzhuang furrowed her eyebrows slightly. Considering Emperor Beichen's proposal, it seemed reasonable. However, if she were to return with him like this, it would inevitably stir up a huge commotion in Tian Gang Sect.
At least, Han Xilin would not stay quiet.
"My lady, the selection competition won't be over in a short while. Don't you want to go to Tian Gang Sect and announce your status?" Emperor Beichen blinked at Baili Hongzhuang, thinking that it would be good to spend a little more time with his lady.
He understood that many disciples within the sect were curious about Hongzhuang, and there were also some unpleasant rumors. However, by bringing Hongzhuang back with him this time, he wanted to tell everyone that regardless of their opinions, Hongzhuang was the woman he loved the most.
Taking this opportunity, he could also put an end to some people's thoughts once and for all.
Seeing Emperor Beichen's seductive and alluring appearance, the corners of Baili Hongzhuang's lips gradually curved upward.
When such a devilishly handsome man wholeheartedly tried to seduce you, his charm was irresistible to ordinary women.
"Alright."
Her exquisitely beautiful face bloomed into a radiant smile. Baili Hongzhuang didn't mind meeting Han Xilin again in Tian Gang Sect. Sooner or later, she would step into Tian Gang Sect anyway, and going a little earlier wouldn't hurt.
As for what Han Xilin might do, she would handle it accordingly. She had her own countermeasures.
Seeing Baili Hongzhuang agreeing to his proposal, Emperor Beichen's mood improved significantly.
"When I returned to Tian Gang Sect last time, I already informed everyone of your identity. Everyone is very curious about you. However, some curiosity is positive, while some may not be. Once we arrive, don't worry about anything else, just trust me. I will handle all these matters."
Emperor Beichen tightly held Baili Hongzhuang's hand, not wanting her to suffer even the slightest grievance.
However, he had been forced to leave Tian Gang Sect for three years. When he returned and announced that he was already married, some people were naturally dissatisfied.
The most dissatisfied person would be the Elder. But he would handle these issues one by one. The most important thing was to make everyone believe in Hongzhuang's existence. Only after proving this point, he would start dealing with other matters.
Hearing his words, Baili Hongzhuang nodded slightly. "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. Even if I hear some unpleasant things, I won't take them to heart."
