"In a few days, Gong Shaoqing and the others will come to Tian Gang Sect to report," Emperor Beichen smiled as he looked at Baili Hongzhuang. Recently, Hongzhuang had been staying in the palace and hadn't gone out. He understood the reasons behind it. On one hand, it was due to the rumors and gossip in the sect, and on the other hand, there were no familiar faces in the sect.
Although Hongzhuang hadn't shown it, he could understand her situation. The practitioners of Tian Gang Sect had various speculations about her, and he couldn't stop each person's assumptions. If he were to forcefully intervene, it would only make the situation worse. Therefore, they could only wait for other practitioners to arrive and allow Hongzhuang to gradually change their perception.
He believed that with Hongzhuang's abilities, it wouldn't be a problem to achieve that.
Hearing this, Baili Hongzhuang smiled faintly, "Yes, time flies by quickly. It has been a while since we last saw them, and I do miss them."
Emperor Beichen gently rubbed Baili Hongzhuang's silky hair, his smile becoming more doting. The time he spent with Hongzhuang was peaceful and beautiful. As long as he could see her every day, he was already content.
Resting on Emperor Beichen's shoulder, Baili Hongzhuang's deep black eyes revealed a hint of complexity. She had never told anyone about the Chaos Ring because it was too mysterious and incredibly powerful. If the existence of such a divine artifact was known by others, it could bring disaster upon herself.
Therefore, she had kept the information about the Chaos Ring to herself all this time, and the three spirit beasts had also remained silent. They all understood the saying "the innocent person carries a precious object and is seen as a criminal."
Baili Hongzhuang felt that her cultivation progress was greatly helped by the trials in the Dark Gate. Originally, Emperor Beichen had suggested that she stay in the cultivation room at night to practice, which would be more convenient and eliminate the need for back and forth travel. However, she still returned to her own room at night.
The reason was simple: to cultivate in the Dark Gate.
With the help of the Dark Gate, Baili Hongzhuang's progress was astonishingly fast, even astonishing Emperor Beichen.
After thinking for a long time, she finally decided to tell Emperor Beichen about the Chaos Ring. It wasn't that she didn't trust him, but many vows of love had been broken for the sake of personal gain. In the Holy Xuan Continent, such situations were not uncommon; in fact, they were quite common. Even couples with a great relationship might have conflicting thoughts after encountering a precious object.
The Chaos Ring, as a heaven-defying artifact, would have a tremendous impact if its existence were revealed.
However, after careful consideration, Baili Hongzhuang ultimately decided to tell Emperor Beichen about it. She believed that the bond between them was strong enough to withstand any temptation.
With these thoughts in mind, Baili Hongzhuang spoke slowly, "Beichen, there's something I haven't told you before."
Seeing the contemplative expression on Baili Hongzhuang's face, Emperor Beichen's gaze also turned serious. He gently stared into Baili Hongzhuang's eyes and said, "Please, my wife, speak. I'm all ears."
As Emperor Beichen appeared earnest, a slight smile curved on Baili Hongzhuang's lips, outlining a beautiful arc.
"To be honest, there's something I haven't told you all this time," Baili Hongzhuang slowly revealed.
In her deep black eyes, a complex and profound light shimmered, and her mood was filled with unease.
