Chapter 1227: Chapter 1078: Never Return to Zeming Palace On their face and in their eyes, a complex emotion was revealed.
This was her last relative, now barely clinging to life.
Even though she wasn’t a Spiritual Cuisine Master, she could see her grandmother’s life was at its end, perhaps only a few months left.
"Grandmother!"
Zi Ran called out softly.
"Little Zi Ran..." Elder You Yue’s body trembled, tears brimming in her eyes as she struggled to stand up.
She could no longer recognize the person in front of her.
Because it had been too long.
Yet she could feel that this was her granddaughter!
This was the granddaughter she wished to see one last time!
Seeing this, Zi Ran hurriedly stepped forward to carefully support her.
"Grandmother, take it slow."
"To see you one last time, I can die without regrets."
Elder You Yue’s body trembled, and the tears in her eyes finally flowed out like a flood.
Zi Ran forced a smile, her own eyes brimming with tears.
She didn’t know what to say at this moment.
At this time, Elder You Yue reached out with her dry hand and placed it on Zi Ran’s face, "Girl, I thought I would never see you again in this life."
Zi Ran held onto that hand with tears in her eyes, "Grandmother, I didn’t think I would see you again in this life either."
"It’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back! You’ve suffered all these years."
As she said this, Elder You Yue’s hand trembled even more violently.
Celestial String saw this and immediately closed the door, blocking the way as if to stop Mingzhu from entering further.
"Anyone who dares approach within a hundred yards of this room, don’t blame me for killing them."
With that, Celestial String’s qi and murderous intent pressed down on everyone from Zeming Trading Company, causing their faces to turn pale again.
At this moment, they were certain Celestial String had joined the Immortal Sect.
Otherwise, how could this be?
There had been no interactions with Zeming Trading Company, and no prior conflicts.
In fact, Celestial String had no conflicts with anyone before.
Celestial String’s abrupt change and hostility towards Zeming Palace were enough to prove Celestial String’s current allegiance.
With Celestial String’s murderous intent pressing down, Qing Qian and the others retreated quickly, moving back a hundred yards and then another hundred before daring to stop.
At the same time, a swift silhouette flew into the City Lord’s Mansion, heading straight for Yan Lai’s location.
Returning from the Dueling Platform, Yan Lai looked more distressed by the moment.
He really didn’t want to station someone to protect Luo Ye Gui Feng on the Dueling Platform, but if Luo Ye Gui Feng really died, the responsibility would fall heavily on him.
Moreover, the Immortal Sect would face significant trouble.
These troubles were already giving him a headache, yet now Celestial String stirred up more by siding with the Immortal Sect.
Siding with the Immortal Sect.
There’s nothing fundamentally wrong with that.
But making such a rash decision, what if the Thousand Crafts Sect retaliates, can Celestial String withstand it?
Taking a step back, even if the Great Domain Master protects the Immortal Sect, if the Thousand Crafts Sect strikes in secret, won’t Celestial String be the first to suffer?
"You call me afraid of death, yet I think you’re truly losing your mind," Yan Lai couldn’t help but mutter under his breath as he tried to sit and rest for a moment.
But just as he sat down, a knock sounded again.
Knock knock knock——
This time, the knocking was even more urgent.
"City Lord, Master Zi Ran of the Immortal Sect is heading to Zeming Trading Company with others!"
This statement made Yan Lai jump to his feet.
He took three steps in two strides to open the door and quickly asked, "Did the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect and the Master of Jingzhi Pavilion go as well?"
"No."
"That’s good then!"
Yan Lai breathed a sigh of relief.
If only Master Zi Ran went, then it’s fine.
As long as people from Zeming Trading Company don’t act recklessly, it won’t provoke the Immortal Sect’s Slaughter Saber again.
