"Grandfather," Han Xilin called softly, her exquisite face tinged with a hint of grievance.
The actions of Emperor Beichen today had made her feel deeply wronged, and now she could only hope that Han Hongyi could stand up for her and restore justice.
Han Hongyi glanced at Han Xilin, his expression filled with helplessness. He knew his granddaughter's temperament all too well. She had always been proud and had been infatuated with Emperor Beichen for quite some time.
He had always believed that Han Xilin and Emperor Beichen were a perfect match. Almost everyone thought that they would eventually become a couple. However, things had turned out differently.
Nevertheless, since Emperor Beichen was the person his granddaughter loved, he would do his best to fulfill her wishes.
Han Hongyi's gaze fell upon Emperor Beichen and said, "Let's go to the Council Hall now. Everyone is waiting for you."
Then he looked at Han Xilin and added, "Xilin, you take Miss Baili to her residence first."
Throughout the whole conversation, Han Hongyi never once looked at Baili Hongzhuang.
As Baili Hongzhuang, she was just a passing guest in Tian Gang Sect. After this incident, she would no longer set foot here, and there was no need for him to pay any attention to her.
Noticing Han Hongyi's attitude, Emperor Beichen furrowed his brows. Just from the way the Elder treated him, he knew that the situation must be quite complicated.
Baili Hongzhuang glanced at Emperor Beichen and said, "You should go now."
Emperor Beichen had been away from Tian Gang Sect for several months, and during that time, he had only received news about what had happened here.
Now that he had returned, he knew that the Elders' mood would not be good, and he definitely needed to explain himself properly.
As for Han Hongyi's attitude, she didn't care. Han Xilin was Han Hongyi's granddaughter, so it was natural for him to stand on her side.
It seemed that her presence had disrupted the ideal plans between Emperor Beichen and his grandfather. It was normal for Han Hongyi to dislike her.
In the entire Tian Gang Sect, the only person whose attitude she cared about was Emperor Beichen's master.
Apart from him, no one else mattered to her.
Emperor Beichen nodded slightly and said to Han Xilin, "Xilin, take Hongzhuang to my quarters."
Hearing Emperor Beichen's words, Han Xilin's expression turned sour. Emperor Beichen had actually asked Baili Hongzhuang to go to his residence with him.
It was worth noting that Emperor Beichen never allowed anyone, including her, to enter his quarters. Yet now he was letting Baili Hongzhuang go there directly.
Just this difference in treatment was already evident.
After giving Baili Hongzhuang a reassuring look, Emperor Beichen left with Han Hongyi.
Once Emperor Beichen and Han Hongyi had left, Han Xilin finally looked at Baili Hongzhuang. Although she tried to maintain a proud expression, Baili Hongzhuang could see her anger.
Han Xilin wanted to explode, but seeing that many cultivators around them were curiously watching, she could only say, "Come with me."
Hearing her words, Baili Hongzhuang smiled faintly and followed behind Han Xilin as they headed towards Emperor Beichen's quarters.
It seemed that Han Xilin and Han Hongyi had set up a great challenge for Emperor Beichen. Resolving this challenge wouldn't be easy for him.
