I'm going to kill you!

As this thought emerged, Han Xilin quickly suppressed it.

Given Bai Li Hongzhuang's identity, it was unlikely that she knew about the existence of the Assassin Tower, let alone have any connection with it.

After careful consideration, Han Xilin could only conclude that Emperor Beichen was involved in resolving this matter. After all, Emperor Beichen's status held considerable weight. If he intervened, the Assassin Tower might abandon this particular deal.

The possibility troubled Han Xilin, and her expression turned grim.

Could it be that Emperor Beichen knew about her actions?

Han Xilin couldn't help but think of Emperor Beichen's cold attitude towards her lately. In that instant, she fully understood.

"Bai Li Hongzhuang, did you tell Emperor Beichen about this?"

Han Xilin's face darkened, and her hands clenched into fists beneath her sleeves. She had always maintained an excellent image in front of Emperor Beichen. However, after this incident, her image in his eyes would suffer greatly, all because of Bai Li Hongzhuang!

Observing Han Xilin's expression, Bai Li Hongzhuang quickly grasped her thoughts.

"If you don't want anyone to know, don't do it."

Bai Li Hongzhuang had no intention of explaining further. It was a fact that Han Xilin should have known the consequences of her actions.

As Bai Li Hongzhuang indirectly admitted the truth, Han Xilin's expression became even more unpleasant, reaching a point of extreme disgust and anger. She yearned to flay and torment Bai Li Hongzhuang.

"I will kill you!"

Han Xilin roared, at this moment, she no longer cared about anything else but wanted to end Bai Li Hongzhuang's life.

Sensing Han Xilin's murderous intent, Bai Li Hongzhuang's eyes turned cold. Her inner energy also surged forth. They had never seen eye to eye, and conflict between them was unavoidable.

A subtle silver glow emerged between her fair and glossy fingertips. Although her current strength was inferior to Han Xilin's, there were many factors besides strength that determined the outcome of a battle. Defeating Han Xilin was not impossible!

Little Black and Little White were also on edge, ready to strike. They had long been displeased with Han Xilin. If it weren't for their master's decision for Bai Li Hongzhuang to handle Han Xilin, they would have already taken action to make Han Xilin regret living in this world.

They understood their master's intentions well. Their master possessed numerous means at their disposal, and even in the aspect of poison alone, many couldn't compare. Challenging their master was simply seeking death!

However, their master didn't want to resolve the situation using such methods. What their master desired was to defeat Han Xilin outright in front of everyone, showcasing their strength as not inferior to Han Xilin's.

Therefore, they had endured and refrained from intervening.

Their master had always planned to face Han Xilin head-on in Tian Gang Zong after returning from the selection competition. Unexpectedly, Han Xilin couldn't contain her anger and had erupted now!

The battle between the two was about to begin. However, just as they were about to clash, Tao Congrong rushed in anxiously from outside.

"Miss, the Elder Summoned Bai Li Hongzhuang to the Council Hall!" Tao Congrong shouted.

Upon hearing that the Elder wanted to see Bai Li Hongzhuang in the Council Hall, Tao Congrong grew extremely worried. If something happened to Bai Li Hongzhuang now, it would be disastrous.
