Meanwhile, eager to marry, Guangwei sped along the way, killing demons and monsters in his path, escorting Bai Ling back to the Demonic Palace at top speed.
" Ling'er, you're back here again. Are you happy?" Guang smiled and patted Bai Ling's head.
Bai Ling's mind was filled with images of the enraged He Gui and the pale-faced True Person Qing Xuan, so she could only manage a forced smile upon hearing this.
"Mmm." Bai Ling nodded perfunctorily, overjoyed. She was ecstatic; she had finally escaped, only to be back in this awful place.
Guangwei smiled gently, "Then I'll take you back to the Demonic Palace. Coincidentally, I also have some matters to discuss with the Grand Elder."
Bai Ling suddenly looked up. "No, you can't see him!!"
" Ling'er, don't panic. I know everything about what happened between you and Elder He Gui. It's alright, I will handle everything." Guangwei, who has been a prodigy since childhood, doesn't believe that someone as outstanding as him can't even handle a Yue family member.
Bai Ling's eyelids twitched. Solve everything? She was afraid that He Gui would get rid of him!
"No, you can't see He Gui! Promise me you'll leave the Demonic Palace right now..." Bai Ling's voice became flustered.
Guangwei frowned slightly. "No, I will definitely see the Grand Elder. Without his approval, there is absolutely no possibility between us. Don't worry, Ling'er, I am not a useless person either. After I express my feelings, he will agree."
"But..." Bai Ling hesitated, feeling that Guang Wei was a strange person. He claimed to like her, yet he handed her over to his clutches. Thinking of this, Bai Ling's expression suddenly changed. "Wait, do you really know about me and He Gui...?"
Before Bai Ling could finish speaking, a large group of Foundation Establishment stage Demonic Palace guards dressed in the Demonic Palace uniforms suddenly appeared around her and surrounded her.
"Miss Bai Ling, please come back with us. The Grand Elder wants to see you." Gongsun Lian, the leader, stepped forward, her expression helpless. "Miss Bai, why do you do this? The Grand Elder treats you so badly, why do you keep running away from the Demonic Palace?"
After Gongsun Lian finished speaking, before Bai Ling could explain, she raised her hand and used a burst of demonic energy to knock Bai Ling unconscious. Then she forcibly helped her up and tried to take her away.
"Wait! Are you really from the Demonic Palace? Ling'er is a mortal with a fragile body, how could you treat her so cruelly?" Guangwei's dissatisfied voice came from the side, and he raised his hand to stop Gongsun Lian's movements.
Gongsun Lian paused, then her suspicious gaze swept across True Lord Guangwei's face. After a long while, she exclaimed in surprise, "Could you be True Lord Guangwei?"
True Lord Guangwei assumed it was simply due to the widespread reputation of his Heavenly Secrets Pavilion as a cold-blooded assassin. Upon hearing this, he slightly raised his chin and said in a cold voice, "It is indeed I."
Gongsun Lian's face darkened. It really was the person Bai Lan had mentioned in the telepathic message before—the late-stage Heavenly Secrets Pavilion assassin who had come to his death. By sheer coincidence, she had actually run into him.
All these people who like Bai Ling are the same; they're all a bit neurotic.
First, a He Gui cut off Hong Xiao Hong Xiao dissatisfied with her attitude towards Bai Ling. Now, Guangwei is here because she was dissatisfied with her harsh treatment of Bai Ling... If Gongsun Lian weren't a soul being who could grow back after being cut, she would have suspected that she would also have her arm cut off by Guangwei.
They all wanted to hold Bai Ling in their hands, but Bai Ling was just a mortal, not a porcelain doll!
Gongsun Lian took a deep breath, slowly suppressing the slight irritation and annoyance in her heart.
It's already annoying when you're on duty in Japan, and it's even more annoying when you encounter people who have a lot of these kinds of problems.
As for the matter, Bai Lan had already instructed her, and now she only needed to follow her plan and go with the flow to send Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, which had a close relationship with Bai Ling, on its way.
Kill them all and you'll be free of trouble.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Lian smiled slightly, "Then I really am sorry, True Lord Guangwei. After all, Miss Bai Ling is the apple of our Grand Elder's eye. If she gets away again, we subordinates will be in trouble."
"Hmph." True Lord Guangwei snorted coldly, turning his gaze to Bai Ling: "I escorted Ling'er back to the Demonic Palace this time. I deserve credit, even if I didn't do anything wrong. As a steward of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, may I have a meeting with the Grand Elder? I have important matters to discuss with him."
"Oh, Miss Ling'er, did you escort her all the way back? Of course, we will give face to True Lord Guangwei. In that case, you will come with me to see the Grand Elder." Gongsun Lian chuckled and nodded.
After glancing at True Lord Guangwei behind her, who insisted on holding the Bai Ling, Gongsun Lian did not refuse his reckless request. Instead, she gave a few instructions to the Demonic Palace stewards around her and then went to see He Gui alone.
After being severely injured by True Lord Suiyun, He Gui stayed in the Demonic Palace to recuperate.
However, Yunyang's taking away the Bai Ling dealt a fatal blow to the already injured He Gui.
When Ling'er is present, his healing efficiency increases by 10%; when Ling'er is absent, his healing efficiency decreases by 10%.
"Elder! Your subordinate has found Miss Ling'er!!!" Gongsun Lian strode in and announced loudly.
He Gui's eyes lit up. "Is that true?! Where is she now? I must go see her!"
Gongsun Lian didn't hesitate for a second before recounting everything she had seen clearly, like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.
"Our subordinates found Miss Ling'er; she was sitting intimately with a strange man..."
Before Gongsun Lian could finish speaking, she was interrupted by He Gui's furious voice, "A strange man? Bai Ling!!! Very well, very well indeed. She has only been away from me for a short time, and first Yunyang, and now this strange male cultivator of unknown origin. I'm afraid she can hold anyone but me in her heart!"
Indeed. Gongsun Lian nodded inwardly. Bai Lan had given her a long list, all of them Bai Ling's lovers.
"Who is that man?" After a long while, He Gui suppressed his anger and looked at Bi Gongsun Lian.
Gongsun Lian cupped her hands and said, "This person's cultivation level is at the Late Core Formation stage. His origins are unknown. After I revealed my identity, the male cultivator arrogantly said that he wanted to see the ancestor himself, saying... With an age difference of several thousand years, you are old enough to be Miss Ling'er's father. Why not give Miss Ling'er to him? He can then become your father-in-law."
He was secretly looking for a young man behind his back, and the young man even complained that he was too old... He Gui's anger intensified, and before he could continue to rage, Gongsun Lian spoke first.
"Seeing that this person was too arrogant, I took it upon myself to bring him and Miss Ling'er here together, so that the Ancestor can deal with them as he sees fit!"
Upon hearing the Bai Ling, He Gui's anger subsided, and he slowly looked at Gongsun Lian: "No, you did very well."
In less than a year, Gongsun Lian had already become the head of the inner palace stewards by taking advantage of the various trivial matters of the Bai Ling, and had more power in his hands.
Gongsun Lian smiled slightly, "These are all things that I should do."
After embellishing the story of True Lord Guangwei and the Bai Ling, Gongsun Lian stopped there and said no more.
After all, the true value of the phrase "marrying Bai Ling " is best realized when Guangwei himself says it in front of He Gui. Otherwise, He Gui might not be able to provoke him enough to make the old ghost so angry that he kills Guangwei on the spot, which is the True Intention of Bai Lan... After all, Guangwei can't live too long, otherwise, by the time he realizes something is wrong and reacts, Bai Lan will be exposed.
