Enter, Riyue Palace

She had once advised Mu Jinse that a heartless man like him had no redeeming qualities worth holding onto.

Unfortunately, outsiders would never understand the obsession in Mu Jinse's heart without experiencing it firsthand.

Watching Lingbing grow up and hearing her complaints about her biological parents abandoning her, Mu Jinse would silently wipe away her tears.

At such times, she couldn't help but feel that Situ Yan was a scoundrel!

Forget about how formidable he was as the sect master of the Tian Gang Sect, in her eyes, he was a despicable and heartless man!

Even when Mu Lingbing was in danger, Mu Jinse was unwilling to go see Situ Yan.

From this, one could see just how much Mu Jinse hated Situ Yan, or perhaps she was afraid of his disdainful gaze.

However, Situ Yan had unexpectedly appeared here?

Seeing Gu Jinghe's surging anger, Mu Lingbing hurriedly said, "Elder Gu, things are not as you think. Father has his reasons."

Mu Lingbing understood that Elder Gu had always stood up for her master, so it was not surprising to see her react this way to Situ Yan.

"What reasons? What reasons could make him abandon Jinse?" Gu Jinghe exclaimed angrily.

But after saying these words, Gu Jinghe's gaze inadvertently fell on Mu Lingbing. "You already know, don't you?"

Mu Lingbing nodded slightly. "Both Yunxiao and I were able to escape the clutches of the demon because Father and Yanxiu came to save me. Otherwise, I would still be in that sunless dungeon. Elder Gu, Father was deceived by Yue Siqing back then. It was not his intention to betray Master!"

Hearing Mu Lingbing's words, the anger in Gu Jinghe's heart still hadn't dissipated, but she regained some semblance of rationality.

Baili Hongzhuang and Di Beichen exchanged a glance. From Gu Jinghe's furious reaction, they could tell that she cared deeply for Mu Jinse; otherwise, she wouldn't be this angry.

"Elder Gu, let's return to the sect and discuss this properly," Mu Lingbing quickly interjected.

She knew that Elder Gu had always been the one to defend her master all these years, so it was expected that she couldn't control her emotions upon seeing Situ Yan. But they needed to find a chance to explain.

Gu Jinghe snorted coldly at Situ Yan and then turned to walk toward the Moon Palace.

Seeing Gu Jinghe enter the Moon Palace, a smile finally appeared on Mu Lingbing's face. She then said to Baili Hongzhuang and the others, "Let's go up first."

Baili Hongzhuang and the others followed closely behind. During the process, they couldn't help but observe Situ Yan's expression.

Situ Yan was usually a lofty figure as the sect master of the Tian Gang Sect, but now he was berated as soon as he arrived. Surely, Situ Yan must be feeling uncomfortable.

However, Situ Yan remained calm and composed.

Evidently, Situ Yan had already anticipated and prepared to face all of this upon coming to the Moon Palace. Therefore, he didn't harbor any resentment.

He owed Mu Jinse too much over the years, so it was normal for him to be humiliated regardless of the circumstances.

He came this time to make amends.

Seeing Situ Yan's demeanor, Baili Hongzhuang and the others felt relieved to some extent.

Situ Yan would definitely suffer this time, but at least he had entered the gates of the Moon Palace, which was a good sign.

The disciples of the Moon Palace were filled with surprise when they saw such a sudden influx of strangers. They had always prohibited outsiders from entering. Who were these people?

Baili Hongzhuang and the others paid no attention to them and simply followed behind Gu Jinghe, entering the hall.
