Hot, Han Hongyi

Han Hongyi glanced at Han Xiling and said, "If I hadn't come, would you have demolished this room?"

Sensing the dissatisfaction and reprimand in Han Hongyi's words, Han Xiling murmured, "Grandfather, you didn't help me at all today. You let Baili Hongzhuang bully me!"

"Master suddenly returned today, and it seems that he has met Baili Hongzhuang before. Grandfather cannot speak rashly."

"Besides, Baili Hongzhuang's performance today was quite good. If you had been more generous, it would have been fine. Instead, you had to speak up and ended up embarrassing yourself."

A touch of helplessness appeared on Han Hongyi's weathered face. "Xiling, you have truly lost your sense of measure."

Over the years, Han Xiling had always been so indifferent.

No matter what happened, she had never been so distraught.

However, Han Xiling today was no longer the same composed and aloof person.

She had become like a resentful woman trapped in a deep courtyard, now resorting to smashing things.

"Grandfather, you know very well that I have always liked Emperor Dage. But now Baili Hongzhuang has surpassed me and snatched Emperor Dage away."

"She is now flaunting her power in Tian Gang Sect, and on top of that, the Sect Master is fond of her."

"If she really marries Emperor Dage in the future, what face will I have to stay in Tian Gang Sect?"

Han Xiling stared at Han Hongyi, her pretty face filled with anxiety.

She had never imagined such a day would come.

They had agreed that as long as the Sect Master didn't return, Emperor Dage couldn't marry Baili Hongzhuang.

But who could have expected the sudden return of the Sect Master?

Everything seemed to be arranged in favor of Baili Hongzhuang, leaving her unable to bear it.

Han Hongyi sighed softly. He knew Xiling's thoughts well, but love between a man and a woman was not something one person could decide.

"Xiling, the Young Master's attitude has been made clear before."

"As long as Baili Hongzhuang is around, you won't be able to capture his heart."

Han Hongyi spoke slowly, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes.

As Han Hongyi's words fell, Han Xiling seemed to suddenly understand something, her eyes brightening. "Grandfather, are you suggesting..."

Before Han Xiling could finish her sentence, Han Hongyi interrupted her.

"In my opinion, you should also participate in the assessment competition."

Han Xiling was taken aback, a look of surprise appearing on her beautiful face. "Me, participate as well?"

Han Hongyi nodded slightly. "It's a good opportunity. It won't hurt for you to participate. Your reputation will be more solid when you return."

However, Han Xiling was somewhat dissatisfied.

"Grandfather, we finally managed to separate Baili Hongzhuang and Emperor Dage. This is a good chance for me to develop a closer relationship with him."

"If I participate in the assessment competition, won't I miss the chance to see Emperor Dage?"

Han Xiling didn't understand why she had to participate in the competition herself.

Moreover, the risks in the assessment competition were not to be taken lightly.

A slight negligence could cost her life, and she didn't want to inexplicably bear those risks.

Seeing Han Xiling acting stubborn, Han Hongyi also felt somewhat frustrated. "If you want to achieve great things, you need to consider the bigger picture."

"If you haven't developed any feelings with the Young Master in these two years, once Baili Hongzhuang returns from the assessment competition, you won't have any chance left!"
