"In the earlier years, I heard that the reason why the Palace Master of Wuji Palace detested the Lan family so much was due to a grudge he had with them. It turns out that he was originally from the Lan family," Situ Yan's eyes reflected a complex expression, as this piece of information was truly shocking and something he had never forgotten.
However, he had never delved deeper into this matter because everyone had their own privacy and experiences. There was simply no need to forcefully unearth these things as it held no significance.
But now, after learning about Hongzhuang's situation, he began to believe that this information might be true. It was precisely because both Hongzhuang and the Palace Master of Wuji Palace had suffered unfair treatment from the Lan family in the past that he chose to help Hongzhuang so firmly.
Upon hearing Situ Yan's words, Bai Li Hongzhuang was momentarily stunned. She had never expected that her grandfather would know about such rumors. The reality aligned with her grandfather's speculation, but she couldn't reveal it. At least, until she obtained her master's permission, she couldn't disclose this matter.
Emperor Beichen's eyes filled with a tinge of astonishment. He had never imagined that the Palace Master of Wuji Palace would actually be from the Lan family. "If the Palace Master is indeed from the Lan family, then everything makes sense," he quickly understood. There was such a connection between them, and it seemed that the Palace Master and Hongzhuang shared similar experiences. In that case, it wouldn't be surprising for the Palace Master to help Hongzhuang.
Bai Li Hongzhuang remained silent. Her grandfather had deduced it himself. With her grandfather's wisdom and the rumors he had heard, it wasn't strange for him to figure out these things. There were no impenetrable walls in the world, and it seemed that her master hadn't intended to keep this secret forever; he simply didn't want to say more.
Thinking of this, Bai Li Hongzhuang couldn't help but feel curious about the Lan family's attitude toward her master. Situ Yan and Emperor Beichen didn't elaborate on this matter; they only needed to know that Wuji Palace was their ally.
"Hongzhuang, you've been running around with Beichen for so many days. I suppose you must be tired. You should rest well," Situ Yan expressed his concern. Since the assessment competition, Hongzhuang had been constantly on the move without proper rest. Now that everything was settled, it was time for her to take a good rest.
Hearing his words, Bai Li Hongzhuang smiled and nodded, "Alright."
As for Bai Li Hongzhuang's place of residence, Situ Yan decided to let her stay in Emperor Beichen's palace for now. Emperor Beichen's palace was large with many rooms, and besides, Emperor Beichen and Bai Li Hongzhuang had already become a couple in Fengbo Kingdom several years ago.
On the other hand, Emperor Beichen's palace had a cultivation chamber, so Bai Li Hongzhuang could cultivate together with Emperor Beichen, which would greatly enhance her cultivation speed.
Bai Li Hongzhuang and Emperor Beichen left the palace, and Situ Yan couldn't help but reveal a smile. He had never imagined that he had a daughter and a granddaughter. After recognizing Hongzhuang, he truly felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Now, the most important thing was to rescue Mu Lingbing and Lan Yunxiao. However, he had a bigger question in his heart. Since Mu Lingbing was his daughter, then where did Jinse go?
To this day, he hadn't received any news about Jinse. The situation surrounding the Lan family had caused such a commotion, so it was impossible for Jinse to be unaware of it. So, where was she?
