Gu Ruoyun?

There was not a single person in the Red Lotus Territory who was unaware of this name.

Hence, when they heard what Gu Ruoyun just said, the two guards were filled with joy and quickly ran into the official residence.

Quick, quick! Tell the Grand Lord that the Eldest Lady has returned. The Eldest Lady has returned!

As soon as the guard had spoken, two familiar-looking figures rushed towards them before stopping in front of Gu Ruoyun.

The womans white robes fluttered gently and her beautiful features could bring cities to ruin. Her face was lit up with a gentle smile. The man by her side was dressed in red robes and looked handsome and grim. However, his eyes no longer held his usual stern look and were staring tenderly at Gu Ruoyun.

Yuner.

Dongfang Yu raised her hand and pulled Gu Ruoyun into her arms. Her lily-white hand gently stroked Gu Ruoyuns hair and her voice was filled with unbridled excitement.

Youre back, youve finally returned. Come, let mother see if youve gotten any thinner.

Dongfang Yu quickly released Gu Ruoyun and observed the woman in front of her in detail. Her beautiful eyes were filled with concern.

Mother, Ive returned.

Gu Ruoyun lifted her lips into a smile and there was a gentle look in her eyes.

Just then, a voice full of jealousy chimed in, You only look at your mother when youve returned. You didnt even bother to look at your father who is such a big man by your side.

The guards of the palace were all astonished. Was this really their strict and grim Grand Lord? At this moment, he was like a small child fighting for affection and one could sense the bitterness radiating from his body.

Gu Ruoyun left Dongfang Yus embrace and walked towards her father. She stood in front of Grand Lord Hong Lian and stretched out her arms to gently hug the man.

Father, your power has grown again.

Grand Lord Hong Lian laughed in exasperation, No matter how much I cultivate, how can I be compared to you, you little abnormality? I assume that your powers have already grown to an awe-inspiring level.

Gu Ruoyun blinked. Father, since youre a big abnormality, I will naturally be a small abnormality. Ive inherited my talents from mother and you. Without talented individuals like the both of you, how could I have possibly have gained in my cultivation so quickly?

Grand Lord Hong Lian was stumped, he really does not know what to do with this girl.

You must be tired from your journey. I will arrange for you to get a good rest. If theres anything to say, lets discuss it after youve rested.

Initially, Gu Ruoyun had wanted to speak to Grand Lord Hong Lian about Gu Shengxiao but when she heard his words, she swallowed all that she wanted to say and nodded, Alright.

Once that was done, Grand Lord Hong Lian sent a maidservant to lead Gu Ruoyun and Qianbei Ye to get some rest. However, he could hardly tear his eyes away from the young girl.

Dongfang Yu had been staring fixedly at Qianbei Ye. A glint flashed in her eyes as she observed, This mans power has increased from the time we had last met. I cant tell what state hes in now. Oh, thats right. I havent asked, what is his relationship with our daughter?

Hes our future son-in-law.

Grand Lord Hong Lian replied honestly.

Even though he has not completely approved of Qianbei Ye yet

Really? I like this man very much. Dongfang Yus eyes lit up with a smile. Firstly, hes powerful and his powers are greater than mine. He will have the ability to protect our precious daughter. Secondly, didnt you notice that his eyes are full of sweet love whenever he looks at Yuner? You can tell that he loves her to his very bones. Therefore, I wont allow you to cause trouble for him, Ive made up my mind on this son-in-law.

The sour taste in Grand Lord Hong Lians heart increased. Not only has that damned kid captured his daughters heart, even his wife was full of praises for him
