When Hong Lianhua was being escorted into the dungeon by the crowd, she suddenly shouted like a madwoman, "Junior Brother, I want to see Senior Brother and the Sect Leader. I know I was wrong, I won't cause trouble again. As a member of the Heavenly Pivot Sect's Three Elders, after so many years of hard work without any achievements, I don't want to die, and I can't die! Wuwuwuwu—"
In an instant, every corner of the vast dungeon echoed with the noisy cries of Charming Consort Hong Lianhua.
Her wailing pierced through the air like a sharp dagger, striking at Yan Laoguai, who stood alone at the highest point of the lookout tower in Ren Shi Tang.
Under the moonlight, his wrinkled and aged face was filled with melancholy and worry.
Charming Lady was his junior sister, who had once been a devoted follower willing to stay by his side all day long.
He remembered when he was first brought back to Heavenly Pivot Sect by his master; at that time, no senior brothers were willing to approach him because his father had been a notorious villain in the martial world, responsible for countless deaths.
So when his father was dismembered by enemies, he was left wandering alone until he was kindly taken in by his compassionate master.
However, this did not mean that others could accept or like him; on the contrary, most people looked down on him. Let alone anyone willing to share life's joys and sorrows with him.
But at that time, there was one exception: Charming Consort Hong Lianhua.
He met his junior sister when he was 12 years old and Hong Lianhua was 9.
In Heavenly Pivot Sect, only his master and junior sister Hong Lianhua cared for and cherished him the most.
As they grew up, fate played its cruel joke; as an adult, he found himself hopelessly infatuated with a virtuous and quiet Physician from their sect.
Hong Lianhua, filled with resentment and disappointment, left Heavenly Pivot Sect to wander the martial world alone. She soon encountered a man known as the Carefree Wanderer and quickly began a romance with him.
Many years later, Yan Laoguai's wife, the Renowned Female Doctor, sacrificed herself to protect Yan Laoguai during an assassination attempt by enemies.
She tragically fell victim to an assassin's arrow aimed at her heart, leading to her untimely death.
At this moment, his little junior sister, Hong Lianhua, was not in a much better situation. The Carefree Wanderer, for whom she had sacrificed everything, had abandoned her at this time.
It would have been one thing if he had just left her! But that damned man reappeared before her ten years after abandoning her.
Not only did he appear before her, but he also got involved with her most talented disciple, Ping Er, whom she had intended to cultivate as her successor. By this time, Hong Lianhua had returned to her sect.
This truly pushed Hong Lianhua to the brink of collapse. In a fit of rage, she executed her beloved disciple with her own hands.
It is said that women troubled by love are the most likely to lose their rationality and do outrageous things. Her actions brought about a calamity that nearly shook the Heavenly Pivot Sect to its core.
The Carefree Wanderer was originally a prince of the Mongolian-Manchu Kingdom, who had wandered around and flirted with many women in the past.
However, when he finally grew tired of his adventures and wanted to marry his beloved Ping Er, he learned that the woman he was about to marry had already been executed by Charming Consort Hong Lianhua, who was then the third-in-command of the Heavenly Pivot Sect.
In a fit of rage over this news regarding Ping Er, he vowed to use all his resources to annihilate the Heavenly Pivot Sect.
Although he could not completely destroy the Heavenly Pivot Sect with its strength, he could still deal it a heavy blow.
Thus, he spent a fortune hiring various forces from the martial world to suppress the Heavenly Pivot Sect's industries across the country. The resulting turmoil indeed dealt a significant blow to the Heavenly Pivot Sect.
Fortunately, Yan Laoguai took strong measures later on to salvage most of their industries and successfully weathered the crisis.
He initially thought that his little junior sister would obediently follow his orders from then on and no longer cause trouble for the Heavenly Pivot Sect. However, less than ten years later, she had the fortune of finding a new sect leader. Unfortunately, her impulsive and troublesome nature resurfaced once again.
Yet, the rules of the Heavenly Pivot Sect were established hundreds of years ago by its first leader. Now he was uncertain whether he should seek forgiveness from the new sect leader for his little junior sister's sake.
At this moment, Yan Laoguai was more indecisive than ever before and was suffering from a headache.
To seek means to actively break the Gate Regulations, but if one does not seek, how can one bear to watch their little junior sister be executed according to the Gate Regulations?
The little junior sister is the only biological daughter of my master! What should I do? My heart is in turmoil! The more I think about it, the more chaotic and worse it becomes.
…
Meanwhile, Ziyan, who is lying on the Imperial Couch in an embrace with Ling Young Master, is not feeling down or fearful because of the earlier incident with Charming Consort Hong Lianhua.
On the contrary, she feels quite pleased, having thoroughly taught that foolish old woman a lesson.
Knowing that the most difficult part might be Hong Lianhua's senior elder brother, she is now just waiting to see the show unfold.
This time, not only can she significantly dampen Hong Lianhua's spirit, but she can also serve as a warning to all those in the Heavenly Pivot Sect who are dissatisfied with her. She wants to see who will dare to act arrogantly in front of Thank you for everything you have done for this Sect Leader, I am very satisfied. in the future.
This truly kills two birds with one stone! As Ziyan thinks of this, her heart feels immensely satisfied and beautiful, beyond description!
Hmph! You think you can compete with me? Just wait and see how you suffer the consequences.
"It seems you're in a good mood!" Ling Yuxuan said as he reached out and playfully scratched the delicate little nose of his now elevated Beloved Child.
"Yes, quite good," Ziyan replied candidly and comfortably.
"Do you have confidence in subduing those stubborn ones who oppose you?" Ling Yuxuan asked with concern, as he had sensed that his Beloved Child had been planning many things in her heart over the past few days but had not yet found time to discuss them with him.
"Of course! Do those old stubborn ones think I'm a fool? The concerns they have are all seen and remembered by me," Ziyan said confidently as she smiled at Ling Yuxuan. Then she continued, "All the countermeasures are already here."
Ziyan paused her speech, pointed to her own head with her right index finger, and then patiently began to recount the proposal she had discussed with the two elders downstairs that night.
After Ling Yuxuan listened attentively to his Beloved Child's detailed account, he finally smiled, a mix of relief and satisfaction spreading across his face. He nodded in agreement repeatedly.
It seemed that as long as he waited for her to achieve her goals this month, he could safely step back and leave her for a while.
Because he still had a significant matter that he had endured for over a decade to face and resolve. Only after completely solving his own major issue could he return safely and truly accompany her, walking together until the end of time.
Just as Ling Yuxuan held his Beloved Child tightly, his mind had already drifted far away.
Ziyan had long noticed his change, staring at him with eyes that appeared affectionate but were filled with shifting thoughts.
"Hey—what are you thinking about?" Ziyan asked while waving her hand in front of his eyes.
When Ling Yuxuan snapped back to reality, he found Ziyan looking at him with a face full of questions.
"Oh, nothing." Ling Yuxuan initially intended to brush her off casually, but when he met her concerned and puzzled expression, he felt a twinge of guilt.
After considering how to reassure her for the battles he would face this month, he chose to remain silent.
Ziyan had a certain intuition and sense about him, but without his personal confirmation, she had to suppress her curiosity and focus on preparing for the big event tomorrow.
She carefully recalled the behaviors of the three elders. Yan Laoguai and Lu Yuan both seemed loyal to the longstanding rules of the Heavenly Pivot Sect.
Only Charming Lady's intentions were difficult to gauge. Was she being manipulated by someone behind the scenes? Or was she simply neurotic? Or did she genuinely believe she was unfit for the role of Leader?
Tomorrow, she would have to probe these elders further to uncover their true intentions.
At critical moments, one can always catch a glimpse of human nature or let some insightful individuals reveal their true colors.
At that moment, Ziyan made her final decision and also thought of a contingency plan for tomorrow. It was time to get a good night's sleep.
With this in mind, Ziyan immediately jumped out of someone's embrace.
"Let's go back to the room and sleep!" Ziyan said to Ling Yuxuan while making a gesture inviting him to leave.
"You little rascal, no need for your invitation. I'm sleeping right here tonight, I promise not to disturb you! You go inside and sleep well, without any worries," Ling Yuxuan declared as he turned to lie down comfortably. He yawned and closed his eyes, appearing as if he could fall asleep the moment he lay down.
Seeing this, Ziyan smiled faintly. She understood his concern and worry for her.
So she stopped hesitating, turned around to the inner room, grabbed an extra blanket, and returned to Ling Yuxuan's side, gently draping the blanket over him.
After going back to the inner room, she finally felt truly tired and sleepy.
In no time, she quickly removed her outer clothing and lay heavily on the large, soft bed.
In just a moment, she fell into a deep sleep.
Meanwhile, the boy lying on the Imperial Couch outside had not truly fallen asleep. After hearing the rustling sounds from inside, he finally relaxed with a faint smile in his eyes and gradually drifted into slumber.
