The First City has changed greatly ever since Gu Ruoyun and the others had left.
The ones to bear the brunt were the Red Lotus Territory and the Secret Order which were attacked by the Dark Earth Realm's Underworld!
Gu Ruoyun knows that the Underworld belongs to Qianbei Ye and Qianbei Ye had given the Underworld to her. Therefore, she was shocked to the core when she heard that the Underworld had attacked the Red Lotus Territory.
"Mother," Xiao Xun'er blinked as he turned towards Gu Ruoyun and asked innocently, "Didn't you say that the Underworld was Father's territory? Why is Father attacking Maternal Grandfather and Grandmother?"
Gu Ruoyun fell silent for a moment. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and her expression changed.
That's because he's in love with you, you dingus.
