Worried, Xia Yuqing

After a long time without seeing each other, the group engaged in lively conversations, creating a festive atmosphere.

After the initial greetings, they began to explore Emperor Beichen's palace, an experience they had never had before.

"Hongzhuang, it's fortunate that you didn't marry Xuanyuan Huan back then, haha," Xia Zhiqing remarked while admiring the palace. Xuanyuan Huan and Emperor Beichen were like heaven and earth, and if Hongzhuang had really married Xuanyuan Huan, it would have been a huge loss.

Hearing Xia Zhiqing's words, Bai Li Hongzhuang couldn't help but chuckle. It was indeed a series of coincidences that led to the current situation. If it weren't for Xuanyuan Huan breaking off their engagement, so many things wouldn't have happened, and perhaps she wouldn't even exist in this world.

"The wife of the Young Master of Tian Gang Sect will become the wife of the Sect Master in the future. Just the status alone is enough to make people look up to you," Zhan Yunfeng expressed his envy. Such good fortune was not something everyone could have.

"By the way, where did Emperor Beichen go?" Cui Haoyan couldn't help but ask. Han Xilin had mentioned that Emperor Beichen had left, but they still didn't know where he had gone.

"He went to discuss the matters of the assessment competition with other sects. He should be back soon," Bai Li Hongzhuang replied with a smile in her jet-black phoenix eyes. Seeing this group of friends again, Bai Li Hongzhuang's mood was also very good.

Upon hearing about Emperor Beichen's departure for the assessment competition, everyone felt the growing gap. They still didn't know if they had the qualifications to participate in the competition, while Emperor Beichen had become the organizer of the assessment competition. It was simply...

"You've all come a long way, so Emperor Beichen and I have prepared accommodations for you. Why don't you rest for a while?" Bai Li Hongzhuang suggested, her clear and bright eyes filled with concern. The journey from Canglan Academy to Tian Gang Sect was not short.

Upon hearing Bai Li Hongzhuang's words, everyone nodded in agreement. They had hardly taken any breaks on the journey here. Moreover, their excitement had worn off after arriving at Tian Gang Sect, and they now felt exhausted and in need of rest.

Seeing the fatigue on their faces, Bai Li Hongzhuang led them to the rooms at the back. Emperor Beichen's palace was extensive, so there was no problem accommodating everyone.

In theory, they should have stayed in the guest quarters, but Han Xilin was unlikely to let it go so easily. If they stayed outside, it would likely cause trouble.

That's why she and Emperor Beichen had discussed and made this decision.

Soon, everyone went to their respective rooms, and Bai Li Hongzhuang entered the room with Xia Zhiqing.

"Hongzhuang, that Han Xilin seems quite fierce. Have you been bullied by her while staying here?" Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but ask as soon as they entered the room. Just thinking about Xia Zhiqing's domineering appearance, it was clear that she wasn't easy to get along with.

In Tian Gang Sect, Hongzhuang only had Emperor Beichen protecting her. Although she hadn't witnessed it herself, she knew that with Hongzhuang's sudden status as the Young Mistress of Tian Gang Sect, it would surely have caused opposition from many people.

Looking at Xia Zhiqing's worried and caring expression, Bai Li Hongzhuang chuckled lightly and asked in response, "Do I look like someone who would be bullied by her?"
