After Blackwood and the others left, Bai Li Hongzhuang rested her head on one hand, her gaze locked onto Emperor Beichen's face.
"Do you think I can't take my eyes off you because you're so handsome?" Emperor Beichen's lips curved into a charming and mischievous smile as he looked at Bai Li Hongzhuang.
Bai Li Hongzhuang shook her head slightly. "I was actually wondering how you managed to cultivate such thick skin."
From the first moment she met Emperor Beichen, she knew he possessed astonishing skills in this regard. And as she got to know him better, her realization deepened.
Seeing Bai Li Hongzhuang's helpless expression, Emperor Beichen's smile deepened, and he leaned closer to her. "Do you want to know?"
"Yes," Bai Li Hongzhuang nodded.
Emperor Beichen blinked his captivating eyes and looked at her seriously and alluringly. "It also requires talent."
"Ha!" Bai Li Hongzhuang couldn't help but burst into laughter.
This man was telling her, in all seriousness, that having thick skin also required talent. It was truly a case of not feeling ashamed but rather proud!
...
Emperor Beichen looked at the letter in his hand, his unparalleled handsome face losing its playful expression and assuming a serious one.
Noticing the change in Emperor Beichen's expression, Bai Li Hongzhuang couldn't help but ask, "Whose letter is it?"
"The Assassination Tower," Emperor Beichen replied, looking at Bai Li Hongzhuang.
Upon hearing this, Bai Li Hongzhuang's expression also changed. She knew Emperor Beichen had issued a mission to the Assassination Tower, and this must be Mo Yunjue's response.
Emperor Beichen opened the letter and looked at its contents.
The message was simple, with only two words - "As soon as possible."
Seeing this, Emperor Beichen wasn't surprised. He had already guessed Mo Yunjue's answer.
However, the urgency conveyed by those two words indicated Mo Yunjue's seriousness about the matter.
Usually, the Assassination Tower's responses were not so prompt. It seemed that Mo Yunjue had already dispatched cultivators to investigate the matter as quickly as possible.
With the intelligence network of the Assassination Tower, it wouldn't take long to uncover the truth once they accelerated their actions.
Bai Li Hongzhuang also saw the contents of the letter, written in Mo Yunjue's handwriting.
A sense of gratitude emerged in her heart. Emperor Beichen had helped her on many occasions, but she had never done anything for Mo Yunjue.
Now, Mo Yunjue was still helping her investigate the whereabouts of her imprisoned parents. In the future, she would definitely express her gratitude to him.
However, she also knew that her gratitude didn't mean much. She only hoped that Mo Yunjue would find his happiness.
"The Assassination Tower has taken up the task. I believe we'll know the answer soon," Emperor Beichen said slowly, his expression serious.
Bai Li Hongzhuang nodded slightly. "The Yue Family has kept this information tightly concealed. Even if the Assassination Tower investigates, it may take some time to find out."
After she was recognized by her grandfather, she realized how terrifying Yue Siqing, the woman, was. With her meticulous and malicious personality, she must have hidden the location of the captivity extremely well, making it incredibly difficult to find.
However, she still had full confidence in the Assassination Tower.
"With the capabilities of the Assassination Tower, they will definitely uncover the truth. I'll inform my master later, and we should also make preparations," Emperor Beichen said earnestly and solemnly. Rescuing someone from the Yue Family would also be a risky endeavor.
