The eight elders shook their heads: "It's not like that. The palace master can call himself sister even if he is standing with a girl who is twenty years old."
The woman's smile became even thicker, and her eyes were filled with arrogance and wantonness: "Assuming that you can speak, tell me, what happened in the palace during these days of seclusion?"
An elder hurriedly said: "Palace Master, don't worry, everything in the palace is peaceful."
The woman glanced at the elder, looked at the other elder with a half-smile, and said, "Elder He, tell me, is everything in the palace peaceful as Elder Ping said?"
Elder He's brows moved and he lowered his eyes and said, "Go back to the Palace Master, and if you say it's peaceful, it's peaceful. If you say it's not peaceful, it's not peaceful."
The woman raised her eyebrows: "Oh? How do you say this?"
Elder He said: "Palace Master, on the second day of your retreat, a female disciple in our palace fell from the cliff in the back mountain and fell to a state of semi-paralysis."
The woman frowned slightly: "Since Elder Ping will mention this female disciple at this time, I guess she is not an ordinary female disciple. Who is she?"
Elder He said: "She is Juncheng's junior sister, Zhou Ling'er, who is also the disciple of the former Elder Bai."
The woman's expression changed. She knew Jun Cheng's temper and what Zhou Ling'er meant to Jun Cheng. Zhou Ling'er, like Jun Cheng, was a master of Elder Bai's true heritage. In Jun Bao Palace, his martial arts were top-notch. How could such a master fall off a cliff for no reason
Elder He added: "In the past three months, Juncheng has been asking for medical advice everywhere, just hoping to cure Zhou Ling'er's injury as soon as possible. Not long ago, he invited a miracle doctor back from the capital. The miracle doctor came The next day, Juncheng went to find Luo Xue and almost got into a fight with Luo Xue."
When the matter came to this point, no one present could not understand the reason.
The woman said: "It seems that this girl Luoxue got into trouble while I was in seclusion!"
Elder Ping, who had offered words before, quickly answered: "Palace Master, Luo Xue is your adopted daughter. Even if she gets into some trouble and hurts someone, Juncheng will not dare to touch Luo Xue easily. After all, there must be Gong." For the sake of your face, how can that kid be so scrupulous?"
The woman didn't look at Elder Ping at all. She only raised her eyebrows at Elder He and said, "Elder He, do you think so too?"
Elder He shook his head: "No, this kid from Juncheng has a strong and tolerant nature, a very strong character, and his martial arts are unfathomable. He is also a person who must avenge his vengeance. If Luoxue hurts his junior sister, he will never let him go. More than Luoxue, even—"
The woman raised her eyebrows slightly, looked sideways at Elder He who was about to speak, and asked again: "What even?"
Elder He finally raised his lowered eyelids and looked around, but still said nothing.
The woman didn't understand why, so she simply waved her hand and said, "You all should step aside! I still have something to say with Elder He."
Everyone retreated as instructed, but Elder Ping had a rather unhappy look on his face.
The woman said, "Just tell me."
Elder He then added: "Palace Master, you also know that Juncheng has been secretly investigating the murderer of his master, Elder Bai, over the years. Now, he should have some clues."
The woman snorted coldly, and a cold murderous intent flashed through her charming eyes: "I kept using him again and again just because I relied on his ability. Now that he has second thoughts, there is no need to keep him anymore. Find an opportunity and deal with him."
Elder He was hesitant and did not agree immediately, which made the woman unhappy: "Is there anything else?"
