If he had been more careful, Bai Li Hong Zhuang would not have disappeared from his sight.
In the ancient ruins, anything could happen, and some cruel and terrifying things were not uncommon.
This incident served as a wake-up call for him. He had already silently vowed that he would never let such a thing happen again in the future.
Seeing Emperor Beichen's complexion improve slightly, Bai Li Hong Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want Emperor Beichen to feel too guilty because of this.
Perhaps the owner of the ruins had planned the switch in the stone chamber in such a way. How could they have predicted it in advance?
"What happened to you in that stone chamber?"
With concern in her bright and dark eyes, Bai Li Hong Zhuang softly asked. During the time she was trapped in the stone chamber, she had also been worried about Emperor Beichen's situation.
At the first opportunity she had, she had checked on Emperor Beichen's condition and thankfully found that he was not in any danger, which put her mind at ease.
"After the sudden appearance of the stone door that separated us, I found that there was no sound in the stone chamber, not even the voices of the two cultivators who had been clamoring outside the chamber before."
Originally, I thought you were in danger, but after confirming that the stone chamber was soundproof, I felt a little relieved. However, I couldn't find a way to escape even after searching the chamber thoroughly.
I had to absorb all the spiritual energy fruits in the chamber, and in the end, I found the key inside one of the fruits."
At this point, Emperor Beichen's eyes lit up. "I also found a box made of mysterious iron in the stone chamber."
"Does the box contain a sword?"
The more Bai Li Hong Zhuang listened to what Emperor Beichen said, the more certain she became that her situation in the stone chamber was exactly the same as his.
The things in that stone chamber were clearly divided into two, and the sudden appearance of the stone door was just meant to separate her and Emperor Beichen.
This must have been planned in advance by the owner of the stone chamber. Therefore, it wasn't that Emperor Beichen didn't take care of her, but rather the ruins' owner had already made arrangements to separate them.
Upon hearing Bai Li Hong Zhuang's words, a look of surprise flashed in Emperor Beichen's eyes, and he asked, "How do you know?"
Bai Li Hong Zhuang smiled and a charming and enchanting smile bloomed on her exquisite face, captivating and unforgettable.
"Because the situation I encountered in the stone chamber was exactly the same as yours," Bai Li Hong Zhuang chuckled.
"Exactly the same?"
Emperor Beichen was taken aback, and he couldn't help but recall that when Bai Li Hong Zhuang was separated from him, she had found a box on the wall.
"If that's the case, then..."
Bai Li Hong Zhuang nodded with a smile, "That's right. It should be a deliberate act by the ruins' owner. The things in the stone chamber were originally meant to be divided into two."
After Emperor Beichen realized this, his brow furrowed, and his handsome eyes were filled with contemplation.
"So, what could be the meaning behind the ruins' owner doing this?"
From the current situation, the two of them had gained a great advantage.
Even though other cultivators had also made significant gains, there was still a considerable difference compared to what the two of them had obtained.
Bai Li Hong Zhuang shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know, but I believe the ruins' owner had a deeper purpose in doing this. We just haven't discovered it yet."
