Will not leave you

As Di Beichen looked at Baili Hongzhuang's pale face, a deep sense of distress flashed in his eyes. "I came late."

His low voice was filled with guilt and self-blame. If only he had returned earlier, Hongzhuang wouldn't have suffered such severe injuries.

In truth, it was his failure to take care of Hongzhuang properly.

Baili Hongzhuang's right hand gently covered Di Beichen's furrowed brow, smoothing out the creases, and a tender smile formed on her lips.

"It was my own lack of careful consideration, not your fault. Don't blame yourself."

Until now, Di Beichen had helped her too many times. Whenever there were difficulties, Di Beichen was always there to help her solve them.

She didn't want to always rely on Di Beichen for protection. What she truly hoped for was to stand confidently by his side one day, rather than being his weakness.

This incident was unexpected and had no connection to Di Beichen. She didn't want to see him blaming himself.

As cultivators, they all understood the risks they might encounter. It was a normal part of their lives.

Di Beichen held Baili Hongzhuang's hand, nodding slightly, but his eyes still carried a sense of guilt and distress.

The actions of the Qingxiao Kingdom's royal family this time probably exceeded everyone's expectations, but he believed that as long as he was by Hongzhuang's side, she would never fall into such dangerous situations.

"In the future, I won't leave you again."

A determined and resolute light flickered in Di Beichen's eyes. He had made his decision. No matter what the future held, he would never be separated from Baili Hongzhuang.

Hongzhuang would never know that when he saw her standing on the martial arts stage, covered in blood with a pale face, her pitiful appearance almost stopped his heart from beating.

He was so afraid that if he had arrived even a little later, Hongzhuang might have disappeared from his life. That was something he absolutely couldn't accept.

The sight of that glaring blood pierced his heart deeply, and at that moment, he felt an indescribable surge of ferocity and murderous intent.

If anything happened to Hongzhuang, he would make the entire Qingxiao Kingdom accompany her in burial!

A gentle and happy smile bloomed on Baili Hongzhuang's lips. She was already delighted to see Di Beichen return at such a time.

No matter when, Di Beichen would always be her hero, her only hero.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Baili Hongzhuang's eyes were filled with deep affection. As a physician, she had a certain understanding of her own injuries. Although her ribs were broken, they hadn't caused any fundamental harm.

It was just that the prolonged confrontation on the martial arts stage had caused excessive blood loss, making her appear particularly weak.

Not long after, a physician arrived, and upon seeing Baili Hongzhuang's injuries, they were also astonished. They quickly began treating her.

After Baili Hongzhuang fell into a deep sleep, Di Beichen finally left the room.

Xia Zhiqing and the others were waiting outside the door. With the recent events, they were extremely worried about Baili Hongzhuang. And when facing Di Beichen, they felt an indescribable sense of guilt.

So many of them were present at the royal martial arts arena, yet they had to rely on the youngest Baili Hongzhuang to withstand all the turmoil. They felt ashamed and powerless.

"Di Beichen, we're sorry. We were truly useless."

Mild guilt filled Cui Haoyan's eyes. His life had been saved by Baili Hongzhuang, but at that time, he had been utterly helpless.
