Chapter 3117 — The Domineering Young Lady: Leaving the Eastern Family to Pin Eastern Jian's Death on the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Even Wei Zhao was puzzled: what exactly was his relationship with the Xuandan Sect's young sect master? Why would he suddenly step forward to help him?
But no matter what, Wei Zhao could only earn money through other means now; the path of selling pills was a dead end. Wei Zhao returned home with the pills. Xu Shilan was practicing singing in the living room, while Shen Yushu sat on the sofa, dazed, lacking her usual cheerfulness.
"Little Shu, what are you doing?" Wei Zhao walked into the living room and asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Oh, Arrow-Brand Brother, you're back. I'm worried—Sister Yaoyao went to the Dark Night Palace, and I don't know how she's doing, and she hasn't called home..." Shen Yushu sighed and said gloomily.
"She should be fine. If she hasn't called, it's probably because the handover or something isn't finished yet. Let's wait a bit," Wei Zhao consoled her, though in truth he was very worried himself.
"All right." Shen Yushu nodded. "Sister Shihan and I are recording songs for Sister Yaoyao. Sister Shihan specially sang a whole album for Sister Yaoyao, and we're planning to send it to her."
"Mm, then you two carry on. I'm going back to cultivate." Wei Zhao's physical strength and true qi had just recovered, and he still needed to think of countermeasures. A single Eastern Ding had already caught him off guard; if a few more formidable experts of the Eastern Family appeared, Wei Zhao truly would not know what to do.
Just as Wei Zhao had guessed, Gu Mengyao had arrived at the Dark Night Palace today. But having just arrived, there were many things she needed to do. However, when the Grand Elder asked Gu Mengyao when the palace master's inauguration ceremony would be held, the young lady answered with a question of her own: "Where's my mother?"
"Uh... this..." The Grand Elder had not expected Gu Mengyao to ask this the moment she arrived at the Dark Night Palace, but he still answered, "Palace Master Wan'er is currently in the rear-mountain villa—that is, the place where you, Palace Master Yaoyao, will reside from now on."
"Then why aren't you taking me there? If this young lady gets unhappy in a bit, I'll just turn around and go home," Gu Mengyao said.
"This... please..." The Grand Elder had no choice but to take Gu Mengyao to see Ye Rou'er first. As for the welcome for the inheritor and the palace master's inauguration ceremony that he had already arranged for her return, he could only send the black-robed elder ahead to spread the word and postpone them!
As for Gu Mengyao, the Grand Elder had seen clearly enough along the way: she was simply a young lady with a temper. When something displeased her, she would not argue with you—she would just stop talking, leaving the Grand Elder with no choice but to compromise. He regretted it deeply. If only they had brought Gu Mengyao back when she was small, none of this would have happened. Now Gu Mengyao's spoiled-young-lady temper had already taken shape—could you still expect her to serve the Dark Night Palace without complaint or regret? Clearly, the odds were slim!
Gu Mengyao and the Grand Elder arrived together at the rear mountain of the Dark Night Mountains, where Ye Rou'er had once cultivated—but to the Grand Elder's surprise, there was no one there! (To be continued)
