Grand Elder, Gu Jinghe

As Gu Jinghe listened to Mu Lingbing's question, her expression turned somewhat unpleasant, revealing hesitation.

Seeing Gu Jinghe's current look, Mu Lingbing's heart sank gradually.

This was the outcome she least wanted to see.

She had grown up by Mu Jinse's side since she was young, unaware that Mu Jinse was her biological mother.

Now that she finally knew, did she really not even have a chance to meet Mu Jinse?

Why was fate so cruel?

They weren't even given a chance to recognize each other!

Mu Lingbing's face turned pale in an instant. Her mother had perished while saving her, and all of this was because of Yue Siqing!

If only she had been more careful, if she had discovered Yue Manlan's scheme earlier, none of this would have happened!

However, in the past, she had been too naive and had blindly trusted the people around her, leading herself to this extreme regret!

Gu Jinghe looked at Mu Lingbing's devastated expression and quickly spoke up, "Lingbing, the situation is not as you think. The Palace Master is not deceased."

Gu Jinghe's words quickly reignited hope within Mu Lingbing, and she tightly held onto Gu Jinghe's hand. "Elder, are you telling the truth?"

Mu Lingbing stared intently at Gu Jinghe, as if she was grasping at her last straw for survival.

As long as her Master was still alive, she would still have a chance to be recognized!

Gu Jinghe nodded, "This is a long story. Let's go inside first."

With disciples constantly coming and going around them, their peculiar appearance naturally attracted some attention.

The disciples of the Sun Moon Palace found it inconceivable when they saw a suddenly unfamiliar face and the Elder looking so gentle.

The Elder had always represented authority and dignity. When did he reveal such a gentle demeanor?

Mu Lingbing was well aware that this was not the appropriate place to talk, but after hearing Gu Jinghe's words, she said, "Elder, I didn't come alone this time. There are others waiting at the foot of the mountain. Can they come up first?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinghe furrowed his brows slightly. The Sun Moon Palace never allowed outsiders to enter.

"Lingbing, you should know the rules of the Sun Moon Palace."

"Elder, they are not outsiders. They are my family," Mu Lingbing quickly explained.

She was indeed well aware of the rules of the Sun Moon Palace, but Baili Hongzhuang and the others were her relatives, not outsiders.

With these words, Gu Jinghe's eyes widened slightly, displaying a hint of surprise.

"Then let me accompany you to bring them up."

"Thank you, Elder."

Baili Hongzhuang and the others were waiting at the foot of the mountain. They were unsure what changes the Sun Moon Palace had undergone over the past twenty years.

If Mu Jinse had truly perished, it might be dangerous for Mu Lingbing to go up alone.

Just as Baili Hongzhuang and the others were worrying, Mu Jinse and another middle-aged woman appeared before them.

Gu Jinghe evidently hadn't expected to see this group of people at the foot of the mountain. She had thought that Mu Lingbing's family only consisted of Lan Yundiao. Who were these additional people?

Gu Jinghe looked at Lan Yundiao. She had personally met her when Mu Lingbing got married, so she recognized Lan Yundiao.

It seemed that Mu Lingbing and Lan Yundiao had managed to escape the clutches of the enemy!

However, who were these other people?
