Gu Ruoyun?

There was not a single person in the Red Lotus Territory who was unaware of this name.

Hence, when they heard what Gu Ruoyun just said, the two guards were filled with joy and quickly ran into the official residence.

“Quick, quick! Tell the Grand Lord that the Eldest Lady has returned. The Eldest Lady has returned!”

As soon as the guard had spoken, two familiar-looking figures rushed towards them before stopping in front of Gu Ruoyun.

The woman’s white robes fluttered gently and her beautiful features could bring cities to ruin. Her face was lit up with a gentle smile. The man by her side was dressed in red robes and looked handsome and grim. However, his eyes no longer held his usual stern look and were staring tenderly at Gu Ruoyun.

“Yun’er.”

Dongfang Yu raised her hand and pulled Gu Ruoyun into her arms. Her lily-white hand gently stroked Gu Ruoyun’s hair and her voice was filled with unbridled excitement.

“You’re back, you’ve finally returned. Come, let mother see if you’ve gotten any thinner.”

Dongfang Yu quickly released Gu Ruoyun and observed the woman in front of her in detail. Her beautiful eyes were filled with concern.

“Mother, I’ve returned.”

Gu Ruoyun lifted her lips into a smile and there was a gentle look in her eyes.

Just then, a voice full of jealousy chimed in, “You only look at your mother when you’ve returned. You didn’t even bother to look at your father who is such a big man by your side.”

The guards of the palace were all astonished. Was this really their strict and grim Grand Lord? At this moment, he was like a small child fighting for affection and one could sense the bitterness radiating from his body.

Gu Ruoyun left Dongfang Yu’s embrace and walked towards her father. She stood in front of Grand Lord Hong Lian and stretched out her arms to gently hug the man.

“Father, your power has grown again.”

Grand Lord Hong Lian laughed in exasperation, “No matter how much I cultivate, how can I be compared to you, you little abnormality? I assume that your powers have already grown to an awe-inspiring level.”

Gu Ruoyun blinked. “Father, since you’re a big abnormality, I will naturally be a small abnormality. I’ve inherited my talents from mother and you. Without talented individuals like the both of you, how could I have possibly have gained in my cultivation so quickly?”

Grand Lord Hong Lian was stumped, he really does not know what to do with this girl.

“You must be tired from your journey. I will arrange for you to get a good rest. If there’s anything to say, let’s discuss it after you’ve rested.”

Initially, Gu Ruoyun had wanted to speak to Grand Lord Hong Lian about Gu Shengxiao but when she heard his words, she swallowed all that she wanted to say and nodded, “Alright.”

Once that was done, Grand Lord Hong Lian sent a maidservant to lead Gu Ruoyun and Qianbei Ye to get some rest. However, he could hardly tear his eyes away from the young girl.

Dongfang Yu had been staring fixedly at Qianbei Ye. A glint flashed in her eyes as she observed, “This man’s power has increased from the time we had last met. I can’t tell what state he’s in now. Oh, that’s right. I haven’t asked, what is his relationship with our daughter?”

“He’s our future son-in-law.”

Grand Lord Hong Lian replied honestly.

Even though he has not completely approved of Qianbei Ye yet…

“Really? I like this man very much.” Dongfang Yu’s eyes lit up with a smile. “Firstly, he’s powerful and his powers are greater than mine. He will have the ability to protect our precious daughter. Secondly, didn’t you notice that his eyes are full of sweet love whenever he looks at Yun’er? You can tell that he loves her to his very bones. Therefore, I won’t allow you to cause trouble for him, I’ve made up my mind on this son-in-law.”

The sour taste in Grand Lord Hong Lian’s heart increased. Not only has that damned kid captured his daughter’s heart, even his wife was full of praises for him…
