The Great Elder, upon hearing this, started to follow Ling Yuxuan. However, after just a few steps, the Great Elder stopped, "Can I leave now? Over at the Qianji Alliance..."
"No need to worry about that, Great Elder." Ling Zhiyu knew what the Great Elder ant and answered his question, "You breaking the screen wasn’t supposed to warrant any imprisonnt, but the pressure from the Elders Council was great, so I sought help from the Qianji Alliance to temporarily detain you there."
The Great Elder had a bad temper, and had offended many people on normal days. There were quite a few in the Elders Council who had conflicts with him, and in such tis, the number of people wanting to step on him was overwhelming.
The Elders Council of the Immortal dical Alliance dared to pressure Ling Yuxuan, but they dared not pressure the Qianji Alliance.
Ling Yuxuan had no choice but to turn to the Qianji Alliance for help.
After listening, the Great Elder felt sowhat conflicted, and after a while, he whispered, "The pressure from the Elders Council, I’m afraid... ca from Ling Zhiyu."
Ling Yuxuan was surprised by this, looking at the Great Elder, "Why would the Great Elder say such a thing?"
The Great Elder let out a bitter laugh, "Back then, I insisted on breaking her and Chang Qing apart, her doing this is also..."
Ling Yuxuan imdiately interrupted him, "You are mistaken about her."
"Zhiyu’s nature may be a bit cold, but she would never kick soone when they’re down."
"Sending you to the Qianji Alliance for refuge was Zhiyu’s suggestion. Why would she do such a thing?"
The Great Elder was taken aback, "But she told ..."
The Great Elder did not finish his sentence.
With a heavy heart, the Great Elder followed Ling Yuxuan as they exited the Dark Prison. Suddenly, Ling Yuxuan said to the Great Elder, "By the way, regarding you breaking the screen, the aning from the Qianji Alliance is for you to compensate."
Great Elder: "...Alright."
After borrowing money from Ling Yuxuan to pay the compensation, the Great Elder left together with Ling Yuxuan and got into the vehicle heading back to the Master’s Sect.
On the way, the Great Elder suddenly asked Ling Yuxuan, "Who instructed Ling Ruoyan to pick the Cold Lotus?"
"The Second Elder."
The Great Elder was full of disbelief, "It was actually him?"
The image the Second Elder gave to everyone had always been one of benevolence and morality. Hearing that he did such a thing was truly shocking.

After picking up Gu Zhiqi, Su Yunling imdiately took her to the Yun Family.
When the two of them walked into the Yun Family’s living room, there were quite a few people sitting in there.
Tang Yichen, sitting nearest to the door, was the first to hear the commotion at the entrance, "Third Brother, you’re back. Eh? Gu Xiaoxi, why are you here too?"
Tang Yichen, who had been sitting, imdiately stood up excitedly upon seeing Gu Zhiqi.
As soon as Tang Yichen spoke, the living room fell silent for a mont.
"Gu Xiaoxi?"
"Xiao Qi (Qiqi)."
"Little junior sister!"
The person who called Gu Xiaoxi was Yun Xiu, the one who called her Qiqi was Madam Yun, and the ones who called her Xiao Qi were Jin Cengran, Fu Xiyan, and Ji Xiangsi. The ones who called her little junior sister were Yi Tingfeng and Yi Tingyu.
Almost simultaneously, upon calling out, Yun Xiu imdiately said, "Yo! So everyone knows Gu Xiaoxi."
The only one who hadn’t t Gu Zhiqi before, Ji Xiangyu: ?
No... who is this little girl?!
Seeing so many acquaintances, Gu Zhiqi really didn’t want to greet them one by one, so she simply said, "Good afternoon, everyone."
"Qiqi, co here quick, let Aunt take a look at you." Madam Yun stood up and beckoned to Gu Zhiqi.
Saying that, she glanced down at Yun Xiu, who was sitting beside her.
Yun Xiu: "..."
Silently moved one position to the side.
