It wasn't a good time to start a family. Dongyang had a sudden change at that time, and she also had a younger brother to take care of. How could they be together? "
Baili Han was silent. "What about now? She's already come to you, and she's stayed alone in her room for seven years just for you. This kind of love is not something anyone can do. You are fully capable of making a promise to her now."
Baili Yi smiled and asked, "Do you think she is good too?"
Baili Han nodded. "Princess Dongyang's reputation is known throughout the Nine Provinces. She is not only beautiful, but also intelligent, skilled in martial arts, capable of self-preservation, and knowledgeable in political tactics. For the Northern Wei, such a woman is the perfect choice for empress."
Seeing Baili Yi still standing there motionless, Baili Han was also worried: "Brother, if you don't chase her, you will really regret it."
Baili Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe."
"Since you will regret it, why don't you chase her?" Baili Han asked in confusion.
"Do you know why the Divine Cult evacuated?"
"Did you reach some kind of agreement with them?"
"The Divine Cult is not as simple as you think. We insisted on driving them out of Northern Wei because they couldn't get what they wanted from us.
But the High Priest of Punishment also said that if I ever marry, the Queen of Northern Wei must be someone they choose. Otherwise, there will be no rain in the Northern Wei sky."
"Bullshit! They're nothing but charlatans. If the rain in the sky is controlled by their cult, then what's the point of having Heaven? What's the point of having gods? They just know some weird ways. If they were truly gods, they wouldn't be extracting dragon energy from the body of the True Dragon Emperor!"
After hearing what Baili Yi said, Baili Han really wanted to rush to the headquarters of the Divine Religion right now and destroy the Divine Religion that was pretending to be a god.
"Whether he's part of a cult or a charlatan, we've tried for years but still can't defeat him. You know how skilled Father was back then, yet in the end, he was still severely injured by the Archbishop's single blow."
"Over the years, our martial arts have improved a lot. If the three of us join forces, we may not be unable to defeat the Divine Cult. Don't forget, the Divine Cult has only a few thousand followers at most, but we in the Northern Wei Dynasty have an army."
"The Northern Wei army belongs to the people of Northern Wei. The people cooperated with us in expelling the Divine Cult, causing them to suffer alongside us for so many years. As the Emperor, I already feel guilty enough about this. How can I allow the Northern Wei army to join this war again?"
"Even if there are no Northern Wei troops, our well-trained personal guards number tens of thousands. Why should we be afraid of them?"
"Wasn't my father the same way back then? But did he win? If my mother hadn't happened to be a saint, my father would have probably perished at the hands of the Divine Cult.
What's more, now that we have found Xier, although there is no way to prove that she is the little princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty, I believe that one day the birthmark on her body will be revealed.
By then, the Divine Cult will surely come knocking on our door again. By then, our Baili family and the Divine Cult will probably be at war to the death.
I don't want Luo Ran to get involved in our struggle with the Divine Cult just by marrying in. Maybe she will blame me now, or even hate me, but I believe that one day this feeling will fade with time.
