At this moment, Elder Liu sat solemnly on a chair in the Ling family home. His aged face was cold and detached. Beside him, the current head of the Ling family, Ling Yihui, stood shakily to one side, not even daring to look at this old man with such a powerful aura.
Three years ago, the head of the Ling family, Ling Yi, had died at the hands of Qianbei Ye. His younger brother, Ling Yihui, had assumed the position of head of the family. Originally, Ling Yihui had wanted to avenge his brother and nephew, but the maidservants of the Dark Yin Palace had come out to stop him. Because of his fear of the Dark Yin Palace's power, not only did Ling Yihui not dare to make any moves, he even forbade everyone in the family from bringing up the matter of revenge.
However, he hadn't expected that the Imperial Consort would actually summon an elder of the Dark Yin Palace. Even so, Ling Yihui still felt a little uneasy, as if something was about to happen …
"Lord Elder, will Mu Ruyue really come?"
Ling Yihui asked apprehensively. To be honest, he didn't want Mu Ruyue to come. Ever since that girl had almost been beaten to death by his grandfather, she had changed too much. Especially in the past three years, no one had been able to figure out what she had been up to.
Since his brother and nephew were already dead, he didn't want to bury the entire Ling family for the sake of revenge.
"Hmph!" Elder Liu snorted coldly and said, "If she wants this brat's name, she will definitely come."
As he said this, his murky eyes swept towards the bound little shota below. The gloominess in his eyes caused the little shota's heart to tremble slightly. However, there was no fear on that adorable, fair, doll-like face. His black eyes stared calmly and stubbornly at Elder Liu.
Bai Chuan didn't know if Gu Ruoyun would come. After all, this time, they were going up against the colossus that was the Dark Yin Palace. If his father was here, perhaps he could save him, but … even though Gu Ruoyun was the Ghost Doctor's Master, she was still just a normal person. Normal people would usually take a detour if they met this kind of power.
So, she wouldn't come at all …
Thinking of this, Bai Chuan's eyes darkened. He gently bit his lip as a wave of disappointment welled up in his heart.
Back then, he had been a good-for-nothing and his family had almost given up on him. That woman had only met him by chance. How could she put herself in danger for him …
No matter where he was, he was still a burden that could be abandoned at any time!
"You don't have to …"
Bai Chuan raised his head and stared straight at Elder Liu. He had wanted to tell them not to wait for Gu Ruoyun as he did not have much of a relationship with her. However, before he could finish speaking, a clear and cold voice rang out from behind him, causing his small body to stiffen...
"Since the people of the Dark Yin Palace want to find me, why don't you just ask me out? Not only did you injure my people, you didn't even spare a child! So this is the behavior of some people in the Dark Yin Palace! "
Dressed in a green robe, her fine black hair cascading down like a waterfall, the young girl's figure was like a gust of wind that blew in from outside the door, bringing with it an elegant and tranquil medicinal fragrance that even calmed people's hearts …
But at this moment, Bai Chuan's heart was thumping furiously. He had not expected this young girl to show up in the end.
She had come to save him!
She had taken such a huge risk for a person she had only known for a few days. Moreover, those old fellows in her own family wanted to give up on him just because she was unable to break through. If it wasn't for her father's protection, he would have been chased out of the Bai Family long ago …
PS: Yesterday I was in my hometown and there was a hailstorm. The electricity in the whole town was knocked out. It was scary — I'm writing a chapter now and will continue after lunch.
