"I will report this to the Supreme Elder at once..." Elder Li said. "Keep watching every move. The moment there is news, report to me at once!"
"Yes!" Shadow Thirteen answered.
Hanging up the phone, Elder Li rushed toward the Supreme Elder's residence in a fever of haste.
"Elder Li, what is the matter?" The Supreme Elder glanced at Elder Li as he came rushing in, frowned slightly, and asked faintly. "A man of your age, yet still so flustered over every little thing?"
"Supreme Elder, the little miss is in danger. I beg you to send men to her aid!" Elder Li was an elder of the Dark Night Palace and was naturally allowed to enter and leave the Supreme Elder's residence at will, but the Supreme Elder was truly growing impatient with him. Every time he came, it was about Gu Mengyao.
"In danger? What has that to do with you? What has that to do with our Dark Night Palace?" The Supreme Elder retorted.
"Supreme Elder, she is after all the blood of our young lady. Within her body, there may yet remain the blood of the Dark Phoenix clan. She could be the next palace master of our Dark Night Palace..." Elder Li said. "One who carries the blood of the Dark Phoenix clan is also the most likely to break through the Heaven Rank. Back then, the old mistress..."
"Enough! You have said those words a hundred times. How could a little bastard born of Wan'er and a mortal carry the Dark Phoenix blood? Even if there were any, it would all be impurities, and she could achieve little on the martial path! Would you have me waste a Marrow-Cleansing Bone-Forging Pill on her?" The Supreme Elder waved a hand impatiently. "If you can get me a Marrow-Cleansing Bone-Forging Pill, then I will agree to bring that little bastard back!"
At the Supreme Elder's words, Elder Li could only smile bitterly. What a domineering wonder drug was the Marrow-Cleansing Bone-Forging Pill? In the treasure vault of the Profound Pill Sect there was but a single one. How could it ever be given to him, Elder Li? Not to mention that the Profound Pill Sect and the Dark Night Palace were enemies. Even without that feud, even if the young sect master of the Profound Pill Sect had truly married Wan'er back then, there was no chance the pill would be used on a small child!
For all knew, the true use of the Marrow-Cleansing Bone-Forging Pill came after the Heaven Rank, when seeking a still higher realm. To call it priceless would be to understate it.
And by speaking so, the Supreme Elder had in fact completely blocked whatever Elder Li had meant to say next, for the condition the Supreme Elder set could never possibly be met!
"But still, having some hope is better than having none..." Elder Li said carefully.
"Whether there is any or not, I probed her back then. If she truly had talent, would I need you to tell me?" The Supreme Elder said faintly. "Enough, no more of this. You may withdraw!"
"Supreme Elder, please think thrice!" Elder Li seemed unwilling to give up. "Supreme Elder, would you truly stand by and watch the little miss be defiled by villains..."
"Defiled is not dead. A mere mortal. Why should I concern myself with so much about her." The Supreme Elder was growing impatient. "I am about to cultivate."
