Upon seeing Emperor Beichen prepare to leave like this, Han Hongyi couldn't help but frown. He noticed a significant change in Emperor Beichen since his return from Fengbo Kingdom.
Han Hongyi could understand this to some extent. After all, when Emperor Beichen was forced to leave Tian Gang Sect, his heart must have been filled with unwillingness and anger.
In retrospect, it was their lack of sufficient trust in Emperor Beichen back then. Otherwise, Emperor Beichen wouldn't be behaving this way now.
"Hold on," Han Hongyi suddenly spoke up.
Emperor Beichen's gaze fell upon Han Hongyi, and his dark obsidian-like eyes flickered with a hint of radiance. "Elder Han, is there something else?"
"Young Master, over these years, you should be aware of Xilin's feelings for you."
At this point, Han Hongyi had no choice but to intervene for Han Xilin's sake.
Han Xilin had liked Emperor Beichen for quite some time now, and it wasn't something that had developed overnight. However, it seemed that Emperor Beichen had firmly set his heart on Baili Hongzhuang. Han Hongyi couldn't just stand idly by and watch someone take away the person his granddaughter liked.
Upon hearing Han Hongyi mention this matter, Xiao Hongzhen's eyes also lit up. This was a great opportunity indeed.
If Emperor Beichen completely offended Han Hongyi, it would make handling Tian Gang Sect's affairs much more challenging as long as the Sect Master didn't return.
"You're right. Xilin is much better than Baili Hongzhuang from any perspective. Moreover, Xilin has grown up before our eyes, and she is your childhood friend. Why would you hurt Xilin's heart like this?" Xiao Hongzhen furrowed his brow, his expression revealing a hint of disappointment, pretending to be a senior sincerely concerned about his junior.
Emperor Beichen lazily glanced at Xiao Hongzhen's hypocritical appearance and felt that it was a waste of time to say anything more to this guy.
"Elder Han, I understand Xilin's feelings, and I apologize," Emperor Beichen said slowly.
Apart from an apology, he couldn't say anything else. In this situation, saying anything more would be pointless.
Seeing Emperor Beichen unhesitatingly utter these words, Han Hongyi's brows furrowed tightly.
Today, he had also seen Baili Hongzhuang and couldn't deny that her appearance and temperament were exceptional. However, he didn't believe that Baili Hongzhuang was superior to Han Xilin.
Moreover, Emperor Beichen had grown up with Han Xilin since childhood. Could the few years he had known Baili Hongzhuang really surpass the bond they had built over so many years?
"What's wrong with Xilin?" Han Hongyi couldn't help but ask further.
Emperor Beichen's deep and profound gaze flashed with a touch of profoundness. His words carried a hint of emotion. "Elder Han, there's nothing wrong with Xilin. It's just that she isn't the one I desire."
This matter was never about being good or bad; it was about being right or wrong.
Han Hongyi stared intently at Emperor Beichen, hoping to glean more information from his expression. However, all he saw in Emperor Beichen's eyes was determination.
After understanding this, Han Hongyi's heart also grew cold to some extent.
He didn't know why Emperor Beichen was so persistent, but in this situation, Xilin probably had no hope left.
"Young Master, Xilin and you are a perfect match in terms of talent and appearance. However, Baili Hongzhuang's reputation is truly questionable. Even though Tian Gang Sect doesn't emphasize backgrounds, personal strength is crucial. But I've heard that Baili Hongzhuang is a waste?"
