Mengyao, on the other hand, tidied up the table as she watched Lin Yi leave for his room, a feeling rising in her that she didn't understand. Lin Yi was spending less and less time in the villa, especially in weekends, which he used to spend with Yushu and her! But now, he always went out in the day and came back late…

She knew that she couldn't interfere with his movements, but she felt disappointed all the same…

“What's wrong, Yao Yao? You look disappointed?” Yushu asked with a smile, seeing her emotions showing, “Is it because s.h.i.+eld Bro was out the entire day?”

“What are you saying, I'm not disappointed. Lin Yi has important things to do, Xiaoxiao's days are numbered, too. I know how to act when something is serious, and even if he didn't fulfill his role as a follower, it's fine too,” Mengyao said flatly.

“You can actually pretend to be sick, you know, Yao Yao sis!” Yushu said, giving an idea, “Then s.h.i.+eld Bro would be able to stay with you?”

“What even is that? You go do it if you want,” Mengyao glared and turned on the TV.

What sort of idea was that, didn't she know who Lin Yi was? He was a master of medicine, and it'd be an embarra.s.sing joke if he found out that she was faking it! She didn't want that.

Dark Night Palace.

Inside a dark room, the palace master sat on a bench, thinking about something…

It had been so many days- were they fine now? Were the Yus and Xiaos and Zhaos still messing with them? She was really worried, but couldn't do anything- she had been restricted by the Grand Elder, and there were two elders outside watching over her, both of them not weaker than her own strength! She couldn't escape at all!

She sometimes even wanted to kill herself, but she knew she couldn't! If she did, who'd carry out revenge for her husband and daughter? Since it had come to this, she had to use even more effort to train, and break into Sky cla.s.s so she could go down this mountain and take revenge!

Footsteps sounded from outside her room, making her pause- it wasn't meal time so the elders outside had no reason to walk in. This meant that somebody had come to visit!

A while later, the door opened- it was the Grand Elder, along with Elder Li!

“Grand Elder, Elder Li…” The palace master Wan Er did hate them for locking her in here, but she still gave her respect. After all, she knew that all their actions- stubborn as they were- were for the good of the Dark Palace!

The Grand Elder hadn't married yet because she'd given all her time and effort to the Dark Palace- she wanted their sect to reach the highest point among all other sects!

“Wan Er, you can leave now!” The Grand Elder said flatly.

“Ah?” The palace master couldn't help but pause, not understanding why this was happening! She was glad, but she looked towards Elder Li- did he make this happen?

Elder Li understood that look, but shook his head with a bitter smile, “Congratulations, Palace Master, your husband and daughter…”

The Grand Master interrupted by clearing her throat, “Husband?”

“Uh…” Elder Li responded awkwardly, “Mister Chu Pengzhan and Chu Mengyao, they're fine now, the danger's pa.s.sed…”

“Ah!” Wan Er called out, relieved and happy! Her worries were all over- they were fine, finally fine! Wan Er couldn't help but thank Elder Li, “Did you help them?”

“No, this time was my fault, I've misread… Lin Yi wasn't injured at all, and House Yu's Yu Bide was killed by him, while House Xiao's Uncle Pi was put into a coma… House Chu's troubles are solved!” Elder Li said.

“That's a relief!” The Palce master breathed out, happy, “This Lin Yi, he really is quite strong- I didn't expect for him to fix the entire crisis! But, wasn't he injured?”

“It's possible that he pretended to be injured to bait these enemies out!” Elder Li wasn't sure about the details, because even House Yu and House Xiao weren't sure too!

“Hmph, a couple of Mystics jumping around, what a joke!” The Grand Elder wasn't impressed with Lin Yi- she only frowned, “Wan Er, you can leave now.”

With that, the Grand Elder walked away! She was actually quite troubled herself- why couldn't that b.a.s.t.a.r.d man just die? Then Wan Er wouldn't be attached to him all the time, and could break into Sky cla.s.s without trouble!

Being bound down by emotions… This was never anything good for a pract.i.tioner!

She was an apathetic woman- she never loved, and never knew what it was like to have a lover. From her view, all of it was fakery, and only true strength mattered!

After leaving, Elder Li smiled bitterly and exhaled in relief, ” That's how the Grand Elder is, I hope you don't hate her…”

“I know- of course I wouldn't. Her mindset is different from mine, but she just wants to act for the good of the Dark Palace!”

“Indeed!” Elder Li nodded and turned into a whisper, “Miss, even though the two of them have pa.s.sed this crisis, they've also put themselves in a huge conflict with House Yu and Xiao… House Yu has the hidden house Yu behind them, and we're not sure if they will stand up for them. House Xiao's Uncle Pi also has a strong background as well, and he also has a hidden house backing him up, along with Sky Elixir's support… Sky Elixir has never been on good terms with us Dark Palace, and I'm afraid that…”

“Ah!” The palace master had thought that everything was taken care of, but she didn't realize that things were just beginning! There was the hidden house Yu, the strongest among all the hidden houses… They weren't weaker than an even an ancient sect!

House Xiao's Uncle PI was someone from a hidden house as well, and the most important part was the support of Sky Elixir!
