Short-cut, the emperor!

Baili Hongzhuang met Emperor Beichen's caring gaze with a slight curl of her lips, and her shallow smile exuded a sense of tranquility and indifference.

She subtly shook her head, giving a sign that she was unharmed, which was all within her expectations. Just as the Blue family harbored resentment and indifference towards her, she also held no other feelings toward them.

Although this place was where her father grew up, it was also the place where she had nearly lost her life. In her heart, perhaps even a stranger's place couldn't compare to it.

Emperor Beichen's eyes reflected a hint of darkness, and his displeased and icy gaze swept around, emanating a ruthless and bone-chilling aura.

As the Blue family disciples faced Emperor Beichen's gaze, the previously imposing demeanor vanished, replaced by a chilling sensation running up their spines. They felt as if they were trapped in an ice-cold dungeon, suppressing any words they were about to speak, lacking the courage to utter them.

Upon looking at Emperor Beichen again, each person felt a sense of dread in their hearts. They now realized that the young master of Tian Gang Sect was not someone to be trifled with.

A single glance was enough to send shivers down their spines, highlighting the difference between them.

Naturally, Lan Borong also noticed this scene, and it couldn't help but leave an impression on him.

Emperor Beichen, as the young master of Tian Gang Sect, had already made a name for himself in his early years. Among the younger generation, he was undoubtedly one of the most outstanding individuals.

The reputation of Lan Qingyan in the aristocratic families was on par with Emperor Beichen's reputation within the sect. Setting aside their strengths, Emperor Beichen surpassed him in terms of character.

Most importantly, Emperor Beichen's protective instinct toward Baili Hongzhuang was extraordinary. Even before she had a chance to show her abilities, he had taken action.

It seemed that the rumors were indeed true, and Emperor Beichen was wholeheartedly focused on Baili Hongzhuang.

Led by Lan Borong, Baili Hongzhuang and the other two arrived at their accommodation.

As esteemed guests of the Blue family, their lodgings were naturally arranged to be luxurious and comfortable. It not only reflected the Blue family's regard for them but also showcased the family's heritage.

"You can rest here for now. We will send someone to invite you to lunch, and both the young master and the elders of the Blue family will be present," Lan Borong said with a faint smile on his face, introducing the situation to Baili Hongzhuang and the others.

Upon hearing this, Baili Hongzhuang and the others nodded, indicating that there were no objections. After that, Lan Borong took his leave.

After Lan Borong left, Baili Hongzhuang and the others sat together.

"Let's make a strong impression first. The lunch is likely to be a difficult situation. It seems that the Blue family's opinion of us is not insignificant," Mo Yunjue said, narrowing his slender and handsome eyes. A faint smile played on his lips, while a cold and sharp edge quietly flickered in the depths of his eyes.

According to reason, with their status, they should have been welcomed by a group of people upon their arrival at the Blue family. However, only Lan Borong came forward, undoubtedly humiliating them and treating them as if they were insignificant.

On the other hand, the Blue family disciples' behavior was probably instigated by someone. Otherwise, a few Blue family disciples wouldn't dare to be so brazen and outspoken.

Baili Hongzhuang's bright eyes dimmed, "Lan Qingyan must be thinking about how to teach me a lesson after being so humiliated in the morning. This lunch won't be easy to handle. Yunjue, I've caused you trouble this time."
