Chapter 936 — The Plea and the Refusal
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Once those people are dead, she will naturally settle her heart! All these years without progress—is it not precisely because her passions are unexhausted?" The Supreme Elder remained unmoved, her voice cold.
"I... I am going down the mountain! Uncle Li, fight your way out with me!" Hearing the Supreme Elder's words leave no room for negotiation, Palace Master Wan'er suddenly rose to her feet and spoke with resolve!
"Ah..." Elder Li was taken aback, then gave a bitter sigh, helplessness rising in his heart. My lady, even if you mean to leave the mountain, you should at least come back and plot it out with me first—to charge out so rashly, is that even possible?
Sure enough, the Supreme Elder looked at Palace Master Wan'er as though watching a joke. "Fight your way out? Elder Li, surely you are not going to join her in this foolishness?"
"I..." Elder Li gave a bitter smile. "I will escort the Palace Master back at once. She is merely a little overwrought; I will talk some sense into her!"
"That will not be necessary!" The Supreme Elder waved a hand. "Somebody, seize the Palace Master and keep her under watch until I say she may be released!"
"Yes!"
No sooner had the Supreme Elder finished speaking than two women dressed like Elder Li came forward and took hold of Palace Master Wan'er, one on either side.
"Forgive us, Palace Master!" These two were elders of the Dark Night Palace as well, and their skill was on par with Wan'er's; for two of them to restrain one was a simple matter indeed...
Palace Master Wan'er gave a wan smile, cast one glance at Elder Li, and then, overcome with grief, fainted dead away...
She knew that she would never be allowed to leave now, and in her heart she regretted her rashness of a moment ago... Yet even had she said nothing just now, could she ever have gone down the mountain? Most likely she would have been found out by the Supreme Elder before she could even make her break...
Elder Li sighed. He felt that he had to do something now! He knew the young lady's character well: she seemed fragile, but in truth her heart was strong and powerful! Otherwise, she could never have suddenly fled her marriage without the slightest warning, catching everyone completely off guard!
If anything truly happened to Gu Pengzhan and Gu Mengyao, the young lady likely would not be able to go on living!
A barking dog does not bite, and a dog that bites is not one that never barks. Crude as the saying is, the principle behind it is sound, and that is exactly the young lady's character!
"Supreme Elder, this Li will take his leave first!" With that, Elder Li turned to go.
"Elder Li, you watched Wan'er grow up. Go keep her company and talk some sense into her..." The Supreme Elder sighed. She too feared that Wan'er might do something reckless and extreme, leaving them all caught unprepared, and so she had sent Elder Li to keep an eye on Wan'er!
On the other hand, the Supreme Elder also feared that Elder Li might make some private decision of his own, acting on his own authority to arrange matters...
"This... very well!" Elder Li naturally understood the Supreme Elder's meaning as well. He nodded with some helplessness. It seemed that whatever he wished to do, he could not!
With the other two elders watching him, Elder Li truly had no opportunity to do anything!
Young Master, little miss, I hope the two of you can pass through this calamity safely! Wei Zhao, I think highly of you. I have always regarded your appearance as the chance for the young lady and the little miss to meet! Although I have not yet gotten to the bottom of your background, that does not hinder my intuition for reading people...
I hope you can change the current situation in Songshan City and bring some pleasant surprises to me and the young lady! RO
