Elder Liu was seated sternly in the Ling household with a look of cold indifference on his old face. The current head of the Ling family, Ling Yihui, stood shivering by his side. He did not even dare to peek at the powerful old man.

　　Three years ago, Ling Yi, the previous head of the Ling Family, had died by Qianbei Ye’s hand and his brother then took over as head of the household. In the beginning, he had wanted to seek revenge for his brother and nephew but he was stopped by a maid from the Dark Yin Palace. Because he feared the strength of the Dark Yin Palace, Ling Yihui did not make any move and even kept his family in the dark about any ideas of revenge.

　　However, they had not expected that the Imperial Concubine would actually find an Elder from the Dark Yin Palace. Even so, Ling Yihui did not feel any peace within his heart as though something bad was about to happen…

　　“Elder, will Gu Ruoyun really come here?” Ling Yihui asked anxiously. Honestly, he did not want Gu Ruoyun to come. Ever since she had almost been murdered by her grandfather, a lot of changes had occurred especially during the past three years. No one knows for sure what she was doing.

　　After all, his brother and nephew were already dead. He did not want to send the rest of the family to an early grave just to avenge them.

　　“Hmph!” Elder Liu snorted, “If she wants to keep this boy’s name, she’ll show up.”

　　When he said this, he glanced at the tied-up little boy. The look in his eyes made the little boy’s heart grow cold. His fair and soft doll-like face did not show an ounce of fear as his black eyes looked steadily back at Elder Liu.

　　Bai Chuan did not know if Gu Ruoyun would actually come for him this time as they will be facing the formidable force of the Dark Yin Palace. If his Father was here, maybe he would have a chance but… Even though Gu Ruoyun was the Ghost Doctor’s master, she’s still a normal person and most people would go out of their way to not antagonize the Dark Yin Palace.

　　Therefore she definitely will not show up…

　　As he thought of this, Bai Chuan’s eyes dimmed and he chewed his lip as disappointment surged up from his chest.

　　His family had wanted to abandon him for being a good-for-nothing. He had only recently been acquainted with that woman so why should she put her life in danger for him?

　　No matter what, he was still a burden who could be easily discarded at any time!

　　“You don’t have to…”

　　Bai Chuan raised his head and looked straight at Elder Liu. At first, he thought that they should not bother to wait for Gu Ruoyun anymore. He didn’t even have a close relationship with her but before he could say anything, a cold and clear voice sounded from behind him, causing his little body to freeze…

　　“If the Dark Yin Palace wants to find me, they might as well just come to me directly. There was no need for you to hurt the ones close to me, you didn’t even spare a small child! So, this is how things are done in the Dark Yin Palace!”

　　She was dressed in green robes and her black hair cascaded like a waterfall. The girl’s silhouette blew into the room like a gust of wind and carried a faint calming scent of medicinal herbs…

　　At that moment, Bai Chuan’s heart was thumping loudly. He never thought that this woman would show up in the end.

　　She was here to save him!

　　She was really taking a big risk for someone whom she had only known for a few days. In contrast, the old people from his own family had given up on him because he was unable to break through. If it hadn’t been for his father’s protection, he would have been chased out of the Bai family a long time ago…
