Mengyao had a good grasp of the Grand elder's temper, and so she'd been trying to maintain the balance between the two of them, not touching the Grand elder's bottom line. The Grand Elder wanted to use Mengyao to revitalize the Dark Palace, so he wouldn't touch Mengyao's bottom line either.
The two walked into the living room of the Dark Palace. Kang Zhaoming and small one were invited into the living room as well. Kang Zhaoming was drinking tea calmly. He didn't even stand up to welcome the Grand Elder and Chu Mengyao!
Mengyao didn't react much when she saw Zhaoming, but her face changed when she saw small one beside him! Other people might not know small one, but she did. This was the person who had injured Lin Yi. Xinyan even had a picture of him in her phone, and she told Mengyao to be careful of him!
