After the conflict with Ji Lexue, Emperor Beichen, with his indifferent personality, would have killed her directly. However, Bai Li Hongzhuang chose to spare her. As they interacted later on, Bai Li Hongzhuang even told him that aside from their initial conflict, Ji Lexue was actually a very good person.
Since Bai Li Hongzhuang became Yue Siqing's direct disciple, Emperor Beichen hadn't seen Ji Lexue again.
From Ji Lexue's current behavior, she was indeed handling the situation well. She hadn't shifted all the responsibility onto Xuan Yi but instead shouldered the pressure herself.
Bai Li Hongzhuang smiled faintly. "After struggling for so many years, you still have some insight."
"If everyone believes in me, let's continue to wait. If you don't want to believe, then leave."
Ji Lexue pondered for a moment and spoke these words.
At this moment, she couldn't be certain about the outcome, and no one knew what would happen. Even if she explained, she couldn't provide a reasonable answer. It might be better to say nothing and let everyone make their own choices.
The people who were initially filled with anger felt like their fists were hitting cotton after hearing Ji Lexue's words. Ji Lexue's attitude made it pointless to cause any more trouble.
"I'm leaving first!"
Fu Aodie's face was full of anger. With her medical skills, she would have had the opportunity to join other major forces. Even if there wasn't an opportunity now, there would be no problem joining an ordinary force. There was no need to foolishly wait here.
In her opinion, Ji Lexue was intentionally playing with them!
Following Fu Aodie's lead, several others who were with her stood up and chose to leave together.
Seeing this, Ji Lexue frowned but said nothing.
Fu Aodie snorted coldly. "Let's go!"
After Fu Aodie and the others left, some of the remaining people also felt a slight wavering in their hearts.
However, compared to following Fu Aodie, it was better to follow Ji Lexue. At least their thoughts aligned with Ji Lexue's.
They were almost certain that Fu Aodie and her group were still considering joining the Yue Family.
Not long after Fu Aodie and the others left, the figures of Bai Li Hongzhuang and Emperor Beichen slowly appeared in front of everyone.
People saw two exceptional figures walking out of the green mountains and clear waters, as if they had walked out of a painting. It made one doubt whether this was real.
The woman wore a white long dress, unable to conceal her extraordinary and ethereal temperament. Her facial features were like a painting, exquisitely perfect, as if she were the most meticulously crafted masterpiece from heaven, ethereal and otherworldly.
Beside the woman, the man was handsome and calm, with a distant and serene expression. His handsome brows carried a gentle smile, but the sharpness in his eyes couldn't be concealed.
The two walked side by side like a pair of divine beings, naturally meant to be together.
Everyone was momentarily stunned as they looked at these two outstanding figures that suddenly appeared. It was inconceivable for such exceptional individuals to appear in this remote mountain forest. Could it be... they were the ones who came to receive them?
Thinking of this, excitement couldn't help but well up within everyone.
Ji Lexue also observed the two people in front of her, feeling a strange sense of familiarity with the woman. However, she dismissed the thought. If she had seen such remarkable individuals before, she definitely wouldn't have forgotten. But she couldn't be certain if they were the ones Xuan Yi arranged to pick them up.
At this moment, Ji Lexue couldn't be sure.
