After all, the Grand Elder—a formidable expert at the peak of the late Heaven Rank—was gravely wounded and could not act, while the other disciples and elders of the Dark Night Palace were not particularly strong. Facing those underlings, none of them could be sure of victory.
True, the odds of those underlings daring to make trouble were next to zero, but still, watching them leave, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Um... Young Hero Lin..." The Grand Elder was thoroughly shaken this time. So Wei Zhao was not at all the kind of wandering cultivator she had imagined—one without real strength who could only boast and spread rumors. He was the genuine article, a true master!
These three robbers at the peak of the late Heaven Rank—how magnificent and formidable they had been! Yet before Wei Zhao they were either dead or wounded, with no room to maneuver at all! It seemed her previous strategy had been wrong. From now on, she must make sure to cultivate a good relationship with Wei Zhao!
Wei Zhao gave the Grand Elder a faint glance. Back at the villa, he had not been her match, but now he no longer regarded her as worthy of his attention. For a snob like her, Wei Zhao held little goodwill—but for Gu Mengyao's sake, and for the sake of the Grand Elder's single-minded devotion to the Dark Night Palace, he did not do anything too excessive. He merely said coldly, "I'm tired. Yaoyao, find me a room—I need to rest."
"Of course!" Gu Mengyao naturally understood what was going on with Wei Zhao. He had unleashed technique after technique today and had likely exhausted all the physical strength and true qi in his body, so he now needed a place to recover. Without hesitation she told a disciple beside her, "Go prepare a guest room. I'll bring Wei Zhao over shortly."
"Yes, Palace Master!" That disciple admired Wei Zhao greatly as well. With a single display of his hand, Wei Zhao had helped the Dark Night Palace avert a great catastrophe. Back then, the disciples of the Dark Night Palace had lived in constant dread, terrified that once those robbers came, they would have no place left to call home.
Once those people seized the Dark Night Palace, they would drive out everyone who had originally belonged to it. But now Wei Zhao had saved the Dark Night Palace—saved the fate of all these disciples—so their hearts were filled with gratitude toward him.
The Grand Elder had been ignored by Wei Zhao, yet she was not angry. Instead she said with a cheerful smile, "Indeed, Yaoyao, hurry and take Young Hero Lin to rest. He's your husband—don't be neglectful. Even though you are the Palace Master of the Dark Night Palace, a wife follows her husband, so you must still heed him!"
"Huh?" Gu Mengyao stared at the Grand Elder in bewilderment, quite unable to understand. Had those words really come from the Grand Elder's mouth? What did she mean, "He's your husband"?? She and Wei Zhao were only a couple who had just confirmed their relationship... And hadn't the Grand Elder always opposed her being with Wei Zhao? How had he gone from boyfriend to husband in the blink of an eye?
Still, after a brief moment of bewilderment, Gu Mengyao understood what the Grand Elder meant! So the Grand Elder had seen how formidable Wei Zhao was and wanted to draw closer to him?
"Yaoyao, go on now, don't keep him waiting!" the Grand Elder said with a smile. "But you young people—don't be impulsive when you're together. You are the successor, and you must preserve your virginity. You may kiss and hold each other, but don't take that final step!"
