Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Please! Greatest Elder, I'm begging you, please let me go!" Wan'er didn't expect him to be so stubborn and knelt on the ground, "Greatest Elder, my husband, and family are in trouble and I can't ignore it!"

"Stand up! You are the owner of the Palace of Dark Nights! You can't kneel for no reason!" The elder saw Wan'er's weak side and roared, "Why is your personality so different from your grandmother when she was young? If you want to leave, show me your true powers! What can tears give you? Will your enemy let you go if you kneel down?"

"But you are not my enemy… Please, I'm begging you, please let me go! I can't lose Pengzhan and Yaoyao…" Wan'er remained kneeling on the ground and begged.

"I said no!" The Greatest Elder laughed coldly, "Stop trying! It's better if they die! That illegitimate child is better off dead so people from Tiandan sect won't laugh at us!"

"Elder, no matter what, Pengzhan is my husband and Yaoyao is my daughter…" Wan'er wept, "I can't leave them alone!"

"Humph, bullshit! Your husband is the Tiandan sect's second young master! He was the one who sent betrothal gift!" The elder replied coldly, "Look at that Chu Pengzhan. He can't even handle a few clowns! What's so good about that incompetent idiot? Can you see how wise my choice was? What can such an incompetent man do? He's better off dead!"

Although the Dark Shadow Group was in Elder Li's control, a few people from the group worked for the Greatest Elder and hence, he was informed as soon as they came back.

Wan'er's grandmother entrusted the palace to the Greatest Elder before she passed away. She spent her entire life to develop the palace, but she never imagined Wan'er to run away from the marriage with Tiandan sect!

Their relationship with the Tiandan sect became intense and in a night, they became the joke everyone! The Greatest Elder was agitated since Wan'er was disobedient. Although he treated her strictly and unreasonable, he never thought of taking her place as the owner of the palace and wanted her to focus and to break through to the sky division!

The Greatest Elder was selfless, but he merely put her and the benefit of the palace at a higher level than her life and feelings!

As for Dark Shadow Group, it wasn't originally part of the palace. It was set up after Wan'er ran away to search for her, and Elder Li and the Greatest Elder were both in charge of it.

That was also why Wan'er was married and gave birth before they found her and brought her back.

"If you don't agree, I'm going to kneel here until you say yes!" Wan'er demonstrated the stubbornness she once had when she ran away.

"Oh, whatever. Wait until that husband and little illegitimate child of yours is dead. You'll naturally stand up," the Greatest Elder replied carelessly.

"Greatest Elder, please let me say a few words!" Elder Li spoke, "Elder if Chu Pengzhan and Chu Mengyao are really dead, I believe that Palace Owner Wan'er won't want to cultivate anymore. It will affect her cultivation pace and even our palace's ranking in the Tianjie competition…"

"When they are dead, she'll naturally take her heart back! She never progressed for so many years because she hasn't let go of her feelings yet!" The Elder wasn't touched and replied coldly.

"I… I must! Uncle Li, we'll fight our way out!" Wan'er heard the elder's certainty and abruptly stood up.

"Ahh…" Elder Li froze for a second before signing helplessly. Miss, even if you wanted to leave, you have to discuss it with me. How can we just fight our way out?

As expected, the Greatest Elder looked at Wan'er as if she was joking, "Fight your way out? Elder Li, will you act like an idiot with her?"

"I…" Elder Li smiled bitterly, "I will send her back right now. She's just overwhelmed, I will why to persuade her!"

"No need!" The elder waved his hands, "Come, detain the palace owner and watch her until I say she can come out!"

"Yes!"

As soon as he commanded, two women dressed like Elder Li walked in and grabbed Wan'er from both sides.

"Palace owner, excuse me!" They were also elders of the palace but their power as on the same level as Wan'er. It was easy for them to her...

Wan'er laughed miserably as she looked at the Greatest Elder. Under extreme grief, she fainted…

She knew that it was impossible for her to leave now, and she regretted how impulsive she was… But even if she didn't say it, would she be able to leave the mountain? The elder would probably know her plan before she could even leave…

Elder Li sighed as he thought that he must do something now! He knew Miss well. She looked weak but her will was strong! Otherwise, she wouldn't have run away suddenly without any signs!

If something really happened to Chu Mengyao and Chu Pengzhan, then she would really kill herself!

"Elder, I'll leave first!" Elder Li turned around.

"Elder Li, you watched her grow up. Go comfort her and try to convince her…" The elder sighed. He was afraid that Wan'er would do something extreme and stupid so he wanted Elder Li to check on her!

He was also afraid that Elder Li would do something in secret and make decisions without his permission…

"I… Alright!" Elder Li naturally saw through his intentions and nodded helplessly. It looked like there was nothing he could do even if he wanted to.

With the other two elders watching over her, there was no chance for him to do anything!

Sir, young Miss, I hope you can survive this disaster safely! Lin Yi, I trust in you and I've always seen your appearance as the opportunity for your encounter with Miss and Young Miss! Although I have yet to learn about your background, it doesn't affect my instinct…

I hope you can change the current situation in Songshan and bring some good news to Miss and I.
