The next day, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, leading the Second to Fourth Elders, swiftly departed from the Clear Sky Sect.
This time, they were determined to bring back the old sect master, Tang Chen.
As for the Fifth to Seventh Elders, despite their strong desire to go, they had to remain behind to oversee the sect's affairs.
The entire Clear Sky Sect was baffled as to why the sect master would suddenly leave the sect with three elders.
Were they perhaps attending some extremely important meeting? Like a grand assembly between the three upper sects?
But that didn't quite add up. Even when major events occurred among the three upper sects in the past, the sect master would never personally leave with three elders. It was truly odd.
And that person who resembled the sect master quite a bit, could he be the second young master who fled the Clear Sky Sect before?
How could the sect master be so magnanimous? Even his own fiancée was taken by this second young master.
Yet, now that the second young master had returned to the sect, the sect master showed not the slightest anger.
Indeed, the sect master's magnanimity was truly vast. He wore that cuckold's hat so steadily, completely unconcerned.
If this had happened to them, if they had a blood brother who brought such shame upon them and the sect, they guaranteed they wouldn't let him live.
That's why, they thought, he was truly destined to be the sect master. It was said that a prime minister's belly could house a boat.
The sect master's belly was by no means inferior to those prime ministers. They could only silently give a thumbs-up and exclaim, "Awesome!"
The scene shifts back to Zhao Ling's mansion. After several days, the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, had adapted to life in the mansion.
And because Zhao Ling's other confidantes had to go to Blue Overlord Academy for work, she simply followed them to Blue Overlord Academy every day. After all, staying in the mansion all day was quite boring.
Of course, the main reason was that the other confidantes all hinted, both overtly and covertly, that it was best not to stay in the mansion alone with Zhao Ling, otherwise, something truly terrifying might happen.
At first, Gu Yuena didn't understand what this "terrifying thing" was.
But after seeing Jiang Nan Nan, Meng Hong Chen, Tang Yue Hua, and Zhang Le Xuan frequently being "dealt with" to the point of screaming to the heavens and crying to the earth, she admitted, she chickened out.
So scary… Brother Ling is simply too terrifying…
That physique was probably many times more terrifying than a male dragon's, right? Was he… was he sure he was still human???
Although after spending these past few days with Zhao Ling, Gu Yuena's favorability towards him had been steadily increasing, currently even nearing 90.
But, but she really didn't dare to face Zhao Ling alone, because even though her strength had recovered somewhat, she simply couldn't deal with Zhao Ling.
Not to mention that her strength hadn't fully recovered yet; even if her strength had returned to its peak, it wouldn't be enough in front of Zhao Ling.
Therefore, she felt that of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, evasion was the best. This greatly frustrated Zhao Ling.
Gu Yuena was copying the other confidantes, avoiding him every day, giving him no opportunity to be alone with her.
How was he supposed to develop his relationship with Gu Yuena like this? Alas, it was truly vexing.
However, the good news was that Qian Renxue, that girl, had once again come to the mansion under the guise of visiting her "godfather."
Last time, Qian Renxue, under the identity of Xue Qinghe, had come to his mansion and had a "pleasant conversation" with Zhao Ling.
She stayed in Zhao Ling's mansion for a full four days before returning to the Prince's residence.
This matter delighted Emperor Xue Ye beyond measure. It was excellent, truly excellent. The Prince truly had means.
Initially, he had used various methods, one could say both coercion and inducement, just to barely get the Demon Suppressing Doulou to become a royal protector, promising to protect the Prince three times.
However, some unpleasant things happened later, which directly led the Demon Suppressing Doulou to angrily resign from his position as a protector.
Even the originally promised three chances to protect the Prince were reduced to just one.
But who would have thought that the Prince himself had heaven-reaching means, actually able to regain the Demon Suppressing Doulou's recognition and even invite him to stay at his mansion for a short while?
One must know that the Demon Suppressing Doulou's mansion basically didn't allow outsiders in.
Especially males were not permitted. Even all the servants in his mansion were female.
However, his own son was able to gain the Demon Suppressing Doulou's trust and stay in his mansion for a full four days. This showed how highly the Demon Suppressing Doulou regarded his son.
With such a powerful existence as the Demon Suppressing Doulou protecting him, Emperor Xue Ye couldn't imagine anyone daring to lay a finger on his son in the future.
Therefore, Emperor Xue Ye directly instructed Qian Renxue to frequently visit Zhao Ling's mansion and maintain a close relationship between the two.
When Qian Renxue heard those words, she almost burst out laughing.
What a joke, could the intimacy of her relationship with Zhao Ling be imagined by that old fellow Emperor Xue Ye?
Even if Emperor Xue Ye didn't say anything, she would still frequently go to Zhao Ling's mansion to be intimate with her husband. After all, having experienced the sweetness, she was still very keen on that matter.
Just like last time, Qian Renxue, under the identity of Xue Qinghe, entered Zhao Ling's mansion.
After the main door was closed, she removed her disguise, transformed back into a charming and beautiful woman, and directly threw herself into Zhao Ling's arms.
"Husband… Xi'er has come to play with you again."
Zhao Ling picked Qian Renxue up in a horizontal embrace, a mischievous smile on his face.
"Xi'er, you came to find your husband yourself this time. Are you missing me again?"
"Of course, Xi'er missed you terribly, my dear." Qian Renxue wrapped her arms around Zhao Ling's neck and then directly kissed him.
After a long kiss of over a minute, Qian Renxue finally released Zhao Ling, her beautiful eyes gazing at him adoringly.
"Husband, you're as handsome as ever. Xi'er super likes you."
"Hehe…" Zhao Ling chuckled and directly kissed Qian Renxue's forehead.
"Your husband also knows he's handsome, and my Xi'er is also super beautiful. Your husband likes her very much.
Since we are so perfectly matched, shouldn't we go into the room now?"
Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at Zhao Ling in annoyance: "No one's stopping you. Xi'er came to find you, don't you understand what that means?"
"Hehe, I understand, I understand…"
Zhao Ling was even happier this time. He directly carried Qian Renxue and ran towards his bedroom.
After all, he had so many confidantes, but they basically kicked him around like a ball.
Situations where someone actively came to find him, like Qian Renxue, were rare.
Given this, Zhao Ling felt that if he didn't treat Qian Renxue well, wouldn't he be letting down his precious Xi'er too much?
As Zhao Ling carried Qian Renxue into the bedroom, a barrier isolated the room from the outside.
At this moment, without Zhao Ling's permission, no one outside the room could hear even a whisper or see anything they shouldn't…
