So, for this disciple of his, what he wishes most is for her to beco strong enough.
One day, others will not dare to touch her family in the slightest because of her existence.
Seeing her teacher looking at her disapprovingly, Gu Shengyin giggled and walked over to hug his arm.
"Teacher, I promise, I’ll definitely cultivate diligently. No matter what else I’m thinking about, I won’t delay my cultivation progress!"
The Great High Priest felt the warmth on his arm. It seed this disciple had grown increasingly fond of getting close to him lately?
He had even looked up texts in the Xuantian Tower about it. The ancient books said that suddenly becoming fond of being close to others is caused by inner unease and wandering fears.
Was Linyin feeling wronged at ho? Or was she scared by the Second Prince and that fifth sister of hers?
No matter which it was, it evoked a tender sympathy in his heart. Thus, he didn’t push her away, letting Gu Shengyin continue to hold onto him.
"Oh, by the way, Teacher." Gu Shengyin suddenly rembered sothing, "Don’t spy on my whereabouts these next few days."
For soone as powerful as the Great High Priest, with imnsely strong Divine Sense, if he wanted to know sothing, it would be extrely easy.
The Great High Priest looked at her, sowhat puzzled.
"Your disciple won’t be leaving the Xuantian Tower these days, you can rest assured. There’s a little secret." She lifted a finger.
The Great High Priest, for so reason, felt a little unhappy: Linyin used to never hide anything from him, no matter what she did.
But his mind was always strong, and such thoughts lasted only a mont—so brief that even Gu Shengyin didn’t notice.
The Great High Priest nodded: "Alright, if you don’t want your teacher to know, then I won’t investigate."
Gu Shengyin felt sothing seed amiss in those words, as if it sounded like jealousy?
But looking at her teacher’s calm deanor, she thought she must have been overthinking.
In the following ten days or so, Gu Shengyin prepared her little secret while observing the Second Prince’s Mansion.
Cheng Lingyu did not live as well in the Second Prince’s Mansion as others might imagine.
Initially, people thought she was the Second Prince’s first concubine with an official status, and the Second Prince would certainly treat her differently.
However, after entering the mansion, the Second Prince continued to sleep in his own quarters, went out during the day to chat with a few friends, and when in the mood, would summon two beauties for entertainnt.
In fact, the Second Prince had never even rested in the room of his new concubine.
The servants of the Second Prince’s Mansion, who had been cautiously observing her, now understood: this one was not favored by His Highness the Second Prince.
Although they didn’t know what His Highness was thinking—clearly not fond of her, yet still taking her in—but these things were of no concern to servants like them; they just needed to serve.
Cheng Lingyu’s treatnt had dropped repeatedly during these days, barely better than in the Grand General’s Mansion—this was because, at present, in the Second Prince’s Mansion, aside from Xuantian Ce, she was the only one who could still barely be considered half a mistress.
Xiao Lian was indignant in her heart, but Cheng Lingyu heaved a sigh of relief: if Xuantian Ce showed signs of spoiling her, then she’d feel sothing was off.
It was best that Xuantian Ce didn’t spoil her; she didn’t want to give her body to a complete stranger with whom she had no emotional ties.
The Grand General’s Mansion had been observing this daughter as well, thinking if she were favored by the Second Prince, she could still be used.
However, seeing the current situation, this move was wasted.
