Chapter 3086 — Finding the Bloodline Heir
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Then... what are we to do?" Ye Rou'er grew anxious. "I will go and beg the Grand Elder now, ask her to show mercy. I am a Heaven Stage master after all—even if I am no longer the palace mistress, I can still serve as an elder of the Dark Night Palace. Surely the Grand Elder does not wish me to hold a grudge against the Dark Night Palace over Yaoyao and Pengzhan?"
"Hmm... that is a good enough reason. In that case, let us go and seek an audience with the Grand Elder now!" Elder Li nodded and said.
"All right!" Ye Rou'er nodded as well, and she hurried off with Elder Li toward the Grand Elder's chambers.
At that moment, the black-robed elder had just finished notifying the Xuan Dan Sect and a series of other sizable ancient sects. With that, the Dark Night Palace had ample justification for entering the secular world.
"Grand Elder, the palace mistress... Ye Rou'er and Elder Li request an audience!" a disciple reported cautiously to the Grand Elder. He had nearly let the words "palace mistress" slip out, and only upon second thought realized it was not right—Ye Rou'er was no longer the palace mistress.
"Oh? What do they want?" The Grand Elder frowned. No need to guess—they must be here to plead. But the Grand Elder was in a good mood now, so she said to the disciple, "Very well, let them in!"
"Yes!" The disciple answered quickly, then turned and left the room.
After a while, Ye Rou'er and Elder Li entered the Grand Elder's chambers together.
"Ye Rou'er, Elder Li, what brings you here?" the Grand Elder asked.
"Grand Elder, first of all, Elder Li and I have come to congratulate you on finding the Dark Phoenix bloodline heir. This is a great joy for our Dark Night Palace, and as the former palace mistress, I am naturally overjoyed as well." Ye Rou'er did not dare broach the matter of Gu Mengyao and Gu Pengzhan directly, so she began with a few pleasant words.
"En, it is indeed a fine thing." The Grand Elder was delighted too. The Dark Night Palace had come within a hair's breadth of ruin, but now it had been brought back from the brink!
"There is one more matter that I, Li, wish to venture to raise with the Grand Elder..." Elder Li spoke up at this point.
"Speak." The Grand Elder waved a hand at Elder Li.
"It is like this, Grand Elder. You see, Ye Rou'er was once the palace mistress. Though she is no longer, she is still an early Heaven Stage master, and our Dark Night Palace is precisely in want of talent. Might Ye Rou'er be permitted to take up the post of elder?" Elder Li said.
"That goes without saying. An early Heaven Stage master is more than qualified to serve as an elder of our Dark Night Palace!" The Grand Elder nodded and said.
"So then, Ye Rou'er will continue to serve the Dark Night Palace in the future. Grand Elder, now that you have already found a new Dark Phoenix bloodline heir, could you perhaps spare Ye Rou'er's family?" Elder Li said. "You see, if you kill Ye Rou'er's daughter and husband, she will not be happy, and how could she then serve the Dark Night Palace with a peaceful heart? If you do not kill them, you lose nothing—and at present, our Dark Night Palace must place the heir above all else!"
