I am waiting for you to return!

Before long, Bai Li Hongzhuang finished refining the pills and sat down next to Emperor Beichen.

"Is everything resolved?" Her exquisitely beautiful face carried a faint smile, sensing that Emperor Beichen was in a good mood.

Emperor Beichen's lips curved with a mischievous arc as he nodded slightly. "It's taken care of."

Upon hearing this, Bai Li Hongzhuang refrained from asking further questions. Emperor Beichen's statement implied that the two Hall Masters and Ji Yangxia were no longer a threat to him.

"That's good," Bai Li Hongzhuang maintained her smile. She had expected Emperor Beichen to take some time to deal with these troubles, but she didn't anticipate that he would eliminate the threats so quickly.

"My Lady, the disciples of the Tian Gang Sect are all praising my judgment now," Emperor Beichen looked at Bai Li Hongzhuang with a half-smile, a hint of satisfaction in his expression.

Bai Li Hongzhuang was taken aback for a moment. Even with Emperor Beichen's status, the disciples wouldn't discuss such matters in front of him.

"Hei Mu told me," Emperor Beichen shrugged, adopting a casual attitude.

Bai Li Hongzhuang chuckled softly. Black Mu had always been concerned about her and Emperor Beichen's relationship.

Gazing at Bai Li Hongzhuang, whose every smile and frown were enchanting, Emperor Beichen slowly reached out and held her hand, his dark eyes filled with unfading affection.

"My Lady, I won't be able to accompany you in the assessment competition. Please be careful during these two years."

Emperor Beichen's voice was low and restrained, as he had been reluctant to be separated from Bai Li Hongzhuang.

The thought of Bai Li Hongzhuang facing unknown risks out of his sight made his heart ache.

However, he understood her desire to become stronger and the multitude of things she still had to accomplish. As a man who loved her, he couldn't confine her under his protective wings.

His Lady was destined to be in the spotlight, and a life shrouded in dust didn't belong to him. He was willing to wait for her.

When Bai Li Hongzhuang looked up, she saw the reluctance and deep affection shimmering in Emperor Beichen's starry eyes, causing her heart to tremble. She, too, was reluctant.

"I will take care of myself. After two years, you will see a stronger me."

Her clear and bright phoenix eyes sparkled with determination. She would grow as quickly as possible and defeat Han Xiling in front of everyone!

Observing Bai Li Hongzhuang's confident appearance, Emperor Beichen gently stroked her silky black hair. This woman, whom he wanted to protect with his entire life, would eventually become powerful.

He would support her in whatever she wanted to do.

"I'll wait for your return."

Emperor Beichen's smile was elegant and mellow, and his eyes radiated a deep affection that could captivate any woman.

The words "I'll wait for your return" made Bai Li Hongzhuang's heart tremble. Since they met, Emperor Beichen had always protected her and accompanied her in everything she wanted to do.

If it weren't for him, Xiao Hongzhen and the others wouldn't have been able to act recklessly in the Tian Gang Sect for so long.

And she had always been pursuing her own goals.

Now, looking back, she felt a deep sense of guilt.

"Beichen, I..." Bai Li Hongzhuang began to speak, but Emperor Beichen placed his index finger gently on her lips, silencing her.
