Wen Ziran, with panda eyes, no longer had the elegant appearance he had before. Bai Li Hongzhuang couldn't help but look at Emperor Beichen. He did it on purpose.
Emperor Beichen whispered in Baili Hongzhuang's ear, "He disturbed my good time."
Clearly, Emperor Beichen harbored a great resentment towards this matter.
A faint blush spread across Baili Hongzhuang's pretty face, finding the situation both amusing and embarrassing. Whenever she saw Emperor Beichen being so petty, it always seemed to be related to matters like this.
Wen Ziran observed Emperor Beichen and Baili Hongzhuang's playful banter, and his resentment deepened. "You two really have no boundaries!"
Did they think it was easy for him? He just happened to be curious about what Emperor Beichen's precious wife looked like, so he came to take a look. Who could have known that the timing would be so unfortunate!
Emperor Beichen glanced at Wen Ziran, then turned to Baili Hongzhuang. "Wife, this is Wen Ziran, the Young Master of the Yunjian Sect."
Hearing this, Baili Hongzhuang's expression revealed a sudden realization. It seemed that her judgment was correct; this man was also a Young Master of a sect.
The Yunjian Sect was one of the Ten Great Sects, and its practitioners specialized in swordsmanship. Baili Hongzhuang remembered clearly that Elder Gu had introduced the sect during the assessment competition.
"Young Master Wen," Baili Hongzhuang spoke up.
Wen Ziran waved his hand when he heard Baili Hongzhuang's address. "You are Beichen's wife, and from now on, we're all good friends. There's no need to be so polite. Just call me by my name."
Baili Hongzhuang was slightly startled and couldn't help but look at Emperor Beichen.
Emperor Beichen smiled lightly. "This guy occasionally comes to the Tian Gang Sect. We'll have plenty of chances to meet in the future. Just call him Ziran."
Baili Hongzhuang nodded slightly. "Alright, I'll call you Ziran then."
Wen Ziran had an easygoing manner. "Then I'll call you Hongzhuang."
"Good."
Baili Hongzhuang's lips curled into a gentle smile. Although this was her first time meeting Wen Ziran, she had a good impression of him based on their previous interactions. It was clear that Wen Ziran was an easy person to get along with.
"Why did you come to the Tian Gang Sect today?" Emperor Beichen's mood seemed to have improved after beating up Wen Ziran, and he asked casually.
"I already told you, didn't I? I came to see your precious wife." Wen Ziran glanced at Baili Hongzhuang and then at Emperor Beichen. "Now that I've seen her, she's truly a perfect match for you."
However, Emperor Beichen didn't buy into Wen Ziran's words. "I've known you for so many years. How can I not know what you're thinking? This is just one of the reasons. Did you have a disagreement with Yingying?"
As long-time friends, Emperor Beichen was very familiar with Wen Ziran's affairs. Although Wen Ziran had been curious to see Hongzhuang before, he wouldn't go out of his way just for that.
Typically, the only reason Wen Ziran would make such a long trip to find him was for one person — Shangguan Yingying.
Seeing that Emperor Beichen had already seen through everything, Wen Ziran couldn't help but sigh. "We had a little disagreement, but it's nothing serious."
Indeed. Emperor Beichen's lips curled into a faint smile. He had witnessed the development between Wen Ziran and Shangguan Yingying over the years, and these two were truly a pair of enemies.
Baili Hongzhuang curiously observed Wen Ziran and Emperor Beichen. Obviously, the person they referred to as "Yingying" was an important figure. Could it be... that she was Wen Ziran's beloved?
