"Uncle should be able to get someone to protect the Miss…" Elder Li himself didn't sound so certain.
"Then what do we do? Do you have any plans, Uncle Li? The people under you?" The palace master asked urgently.
"Miss, there's nothing I can do… Because of his concerns for you, the High Elder has stripped away much of my influence… I may be Head Elder today, but the resources I can immobilize are but only the Dark Shadow group I created myself…" Elder Li sighed, speaking helplessly, "The High Elder pulling back my power means that it's basically impossible for me to use any masters in this Dark Palace."
"But… Will she be in danger?" The palace master frowned, losing composure.
