News, ink cloud

Baili Hongzhuang and Emperor Beichen sat quietly in the room, anxiously waiting for news. They refrained from making any unnecessary movements and simply sat there silently, although their inner turmoil was impossible to hide.

Every minute and every second felt like torture for them now, but all they could do was wait.

After half an hour, Moyun Jue finally appeared in the view of Baili Hongzhuang and Emperor Beichen.

However, it was evident from Moyun Jue's expression that things weren't looking good.

"Lan Qingyan and Yue Manlan went to find Yuesiqing shortly after arriving at the Yue Family. They haven't come out yet," Moyun Jue said.

As Moyun Jue spoke, his gaze involuntarily turned towards Baili Hongzhuang.

There was a deep connection between Yue Manlan and Yuesiqing. Moreover, Lan Qingyan and Mulan Bing were currently being held captive below Yuesiqing's building.

They couldn't determine whether Lan Qingyan and Yue Manlan were having a conversation with Yuesiqing or if they had gone to the dungeon. They were unable to discern the situation from the outside.

However, in such circumstances, the latter possibility seemed more likely.

The teacup in Baili Hongzhuang's hand turned into powder the moment she heard Moyun Jue's words. Although she had already anticipated this possibility, her mood couldn't help but worsen when it actually happened.

"I've ordered my subordinates to keep an eye on them and see when they come out of the room," Moyun Jue spoke up.

"Hongzhuang, you don't need to worry too much. Lan Qingyan and Yue Manlan's appearance hasn't caused significant changes in the situation. On the contrary, it might have even helped us," Emperor Beichen said, looking at Moyun Jue.

"What do you mean?" Emperor Beichen asked.

"Lan Qingyan holds a high position in the Lan Family, and the Yue Family attaches great importance to her. That's why the Yue Family is preparing a banquet. Tonight, all the members of the Yue Family will gather for the feast. As a result, Yuesiqing will definitely leave the room, and it will be more convenient for us to take action," Moyun Jue explained, observing the changes in Baili Hongzhuang's expression.

Given the current situation, he couldn't comfort Baili Hongzhuang, but he hoped that this news would bring her some consolation.

"Master, are you okay?" Xiao Hei anxiously looked at Baili Hongzhuang. Ever since Lan Qingyan and Yue Manlan appeared, her mood had been off, and they were genuinely concerned.

Xiao Bai and White Lion also watched Baili Hongzhuang with worry. They could imagine how bad their master's mood was just by thinking about it, and they were genuinely concerned about her well-being.

Seeing the three spirit beasts worried, Baili Hongzhuang shook her head. "I'm fine. I'm just thinking about how to give Yuesiqing and the others a surprise."

Yuesiqing, Yue Manlan, and Lan Qingyan were undoubtedly the three women she hated the most. Although her purpose today was to rescue her parents and couldn't afford to waste time here, she also had to find a way to give them something in return.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be in line with her personality.

The three spirit beasts, who were initially worried, felt relieved after hearing Baili Hongzhuang's words. This was their master's true nature!

Since things had come to this point, they had to reclaim something. They couldn't let the other party continue to be so arrogant.

Emperor Beichen and Moyun Jue also breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Baili Hongzhuang's expression. At least now they didn't have to worry as much.

Baili Hongzhuang's recovery and her ability to guide others were always remarkable, and they also felt that they should leave something behind.
