"This... of course there is no problem! In this Dark Night Palace, apart from me, you are the greatest!" the Grand Elder said at once. "And—Ye Rou'er, what are you standing there dazed for? Hurry up onto the platform!"
"Could you be a little nicer in your tone?" Gu Mengyao gave a sniff and said discontentedly.
"My Little Great-Aunt, my tone... is already as nice as could be..." The Grand Elder was somewhat speechless. Fortunately, she was the greatest in the Dark Night Palace; whatever she said, the Elders below would not dare to object. Since Gu Mengyao wanted to acknowledge her kin first, then let her acknowledge her kin first!
Below the platform, Ye Rou'er's eyes had gone wide with shock, shining with an incredible light! Gu Mengyao dared to defy the Grand Elder? And she even spoke to the Grand Elder in such a tone?
Most wondrous of all, the Grand Elder was not angry at all—she even called Gu Mengyao Little Great-Aunt. What on earth was going on?
In the eyes of Elder Li beside Ye Rou'er, a strange gleam and a spark of hope flickered too. It seemed the Young Miss's temperament was utterly different from the Miss's! By the look of it, she had the Grand Elder completely under her thumb!
The other Elders understood one thing clearly now as well: in the past, the Palace Master of the Dark Night Palace had been a mere figurehead, but from today onward, the new Palace Master was the greatest presence in the palace after the Grand Elder. If Gu Mengyao wanted to do away with someone, they had no doubt the Grand Elder would endorse her words!
"You have me call my mother up to the platform to find me—have you no sense of seniority? I should be the one going down to find my mother!" With that, Gu Mengyao stepped down from the platform and walked toward Ye Rou'er! By now Gu Mengyao had seen Ye Rou'er too, and tears of excitement glistened in her eyes!
Though Gu Mengyao had never seen her mother since childhood, the very first glance she had of Ye Rou'er now was enough to tell her that this was her mother! Because her features were so very much like her own!
"Mom..." Gu Mengyao could not help but run quickly forward and fling herself into Ye Rou'er's embrace, tears streaming down beyond her control. For how many years had Gu Mengyao dreamed of one day being reunited with her mother—but who would have thought that after reunion would come separation!
Ye Rou'er was about to leave, while Gu Mengyao would have to stay!
"Yao Yao... my daughter, I've finally seen you!" Ye Rou'er wept too—tears of joy, for their reunion, and for Gu Mengyao's strength!
She knew that Gu Mengyao would never suffer a loss in the Dark Night Palace from now on—and that she was a Palace Master in the true sense! Utterly different from herself, a puppet Palace Master.
"Mom, no one will bully you anymore. You can go back and be reunited with Daddy. Whoever dares to stop you, I will be the first to kill him!" Gu Mengyao said.
Those words left everyone present trembling with dread—and nearly scared Zhao Qibing out of his pants! (To be continued)
