He comforted her, saying, "Don't be afraid. If you are, just close your eyes."
Ding Yi gritted her teeth, seeing that she really couldn't bear to watch the scene, and shamelessly hid in his arms.
Dongfang Yi's lips curled up, unable to contain his joy.
This was the first time Yi'er had taken the initiative like this, how could he not be excited?
Meanwhile, Jiang Lie, who had just recovered from being knocked to the ground, heard Ye Mohan's devilish voice before he could even figure out what to do.
"To tell or not to tell."
The voice was chillingly cold, and fear arose spontaneously.
Jiang Lie looked at Ye Mohan, his eyes filled with fear that was about to overflow, and said, "I'll talk, I'll talk, he's dead."
Hearing the sound, Ye Mohan frowned.
Before he could speak, Jian Yixue, who had been watching the situation closely, quickly walked over and said, "Dead? How did he die!"
Seeing this, Jiang Lie had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell the whole story.
Ye Mohan specifically sent someone to check the dungeon that Jiang Lie had mentioned, and they indeed found two corpses that had recently died.
Ye Mohan frowned as he looked at the photos his subordinate had taken. "It's him."
Jane felt her hopes dashed, and all that awaited her was endless darkness.
She had held out all hope that she would find lemons here, but now she was dealt a heavy blow.
Seeing this, Ye Mohan knew that Jian Yixue was upset, so he hugged her and comforted her, "We will find Lemon. Maybe Lemon isn't in Yan Yuan's hands or in Shennong Pavilion, but has been rescued by someone?"
Jian Yixue's eyes, which had lost their luster, slowly turned to look at Ye Mohan.
Seeing this, Ye Mohan continued, "Do you remember the blind spots in the surveillance footage? That might be where Lemon was rescued. I've already asked Lin Yi to search again, and we're sure to find new clues."
Ye Mohan wasn't sure if Lin Yi would find any new clues, but he knew he couldn't let Jian Yixue give up right now.
Seeing this, Ding Yi quickly stepped forward and said, "Yes, junior sister, we will definitely find Lemon. You have to cheer up, Lemon is still waiting for you."
Dongfang Yi chimed in, "Yes, cousin, we will definitely find the lemon. You must not fall down before we find the lemon, otherwise who will go to find it?"
The encouragement from the crowd had an effect, and Jian Yixue's eyes gradually became firm.
Yes, she shouldn't be so emotional.
As a doctor, she was well aware that her current state was a precursor to postpartum depression. After giving birth, this event, coupled with the drop in hormone levels, made her increasingly emotionally unstable and particularly prone to getting stuck in a rut.
If it weren't for the people who love her by her side, she doesn't know if she could have made it through.
Jian Yixue looked at them gratefully and said, "Yes, I will. Thank you."
Then, Jian Yixue glanced at Jiang Lie on the ground and said, "Take him with you and go to meet up."
...
Elders' Pavilion.
A beautifully carved stone palace with three large, bright yellow characters prominently displayed on the plaque above the entrance.
Dongfang Tinglan and her group, who had split up with Jian Yixue, arrived here.
Looking at the Elders' Pavilion, which she hadn't seen for many years, Dongfang Tinglan's eyes were filled with memories. She stepped forward and knocked on the door.
A short while later, the door opened, and a young child came out.
Seeing the crowd at the door, he asked in confusion, "Who are you? What are you doing here? Don't you know that outsiders are not welcome here?"
Dongfang Tinglan was not angry. She said gently, "We are not outsiders. Go in and announce that your unfilial grand-disciple Dongfang Tinglan has come to pay respects to the elders."
The child was very puzzled and remained silent for a moment.
Upon seeing this, Gongjian Wenhua said, "Go in and announce that your unfilial grand-disciple, Gongjian Wenhua, has also come to pay his respects to the elders."
The child sized them up for a long time before nodding and saying, "Okay, you wait here."
Soon, the child returned.
The child looked at Dongfang Tinglan and said, "The Grand Elder wants you to go in."
No one was surprised by this result.
Dongfang Tinglan nodded and said, "Okay, please lead the way."
The child didn't stand on ceremony, nodded, and walked ahead, with Dongfang Tinglan and the others following behind him inside.
Council chamber.
When Dongfang Tinglan and her group walked in, they saw that the living room was full of people.
These people were almost all white-haired and had aged faces.
She recognized these people; they were all among the ten elders of the Elders' Pavilion.
However, they weren't like this when she left.
The elderly man sitting in the head seat stood up excitedly when he saw Dongfang Tinglan.
"Sect Leader, is it really you?"
Upon hearing his voice, Dongfang Tinglan could no longer control herself.
Tears welled up like a burst dam.
She walked over quickly and said in a tearful voice, "It is I, the Grand Elder. This unfilial grand-disciple greets the Grand Elder and all the deacons and elders."
As she finished speaking, Dongfang Tinglan knelt down.
The Elders' Hall consists of ten elders, with the Grand Elder as the head and the other nine serving elders, each with their own duties.
These elders are from the same generation as her master, and are now in their seventies or eighties.
Upon hearing this, the First Elder came down and helped Dongfang Tinglan up, tears welling up in his eyes as well. "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. If your master were alive, he would be happy to see you back."
With tears streaming down her face, Dongfang Tinglan pursed her lips and nodded.
"Elder."
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder looked over and, upon recognizing the person, exclaimed in surprise, "Wen Hua, it's you!"
Gong Jianwen Hua said with a faint smile, "It's me, the Grand Elder."
The Grand Elder asked, "How did you end up returning with the Pavilion Master?"
Afterwards, Dongfang Tinglan told the elders present the whole story, and even presented evidence.
After seeing everything, the Grand Elder was furious and slammed his fist on the table, saying, "Unrepentant! I thought she would restrain herself after obtaining that position all these years, but it seems I was wrong."
He then ordered, "Someone! Go and summon Qu Rui and Inner Protector Su Lang to me!"
Just as the servant was about to leave after receiving the order, Dongfang Tinglan spoke up, "Wait for the Grand Elder."
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder frowned and said, "Sect Master, you don't still intend to plead for her, do you?"
Dongfang Tinglan shook her head. "She is not worth my pleading. I want to purge the scum from my master's body."
"The reason I called it off is because I already have a plan on my end."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Then, Dongfang Tinglan told the elders about the plan they had discussed earlier.
The elders all nodded in approval.
Upon seeing this, the Grand Elder said, "Alright, we'll do as you say on this matter."
