However, when Qin Ai and Gu Jing Qing heard Situ Yan's next words, they couldn't help but freeze in place, staring at Situ Yan in disbelief, doubting if they had misheard.
Because the news was simply too unbelievable!
"Hong Zhuang is my long-lost granddaughter."
Situ Yan's face lit up with a joyful smile, and his usually stern and imposing eyes showed a hint of happiness and joy that came from the depths of his heart.
This was the happiest thing for him!
Qin Ai and Gu Jing Qing glanced at each other, feeling like they must have misheard.
However, when they saw the same surprised look in each other's eyes, they realized that they hadn't misheard, and what they heard was true!
"Hong Zhuang is the Sect Master's granddaughter?"
Gu Jing Qing couldn't help but raise his tone, asking again with an incredulous expression in his eyes.
Situ Yan also understood how shocking this news was, so he continued, "Yes, you didn't hear it wrong. Hong Zhuang is indeed my granddaughter."
"How is this possible?"
Qin Ai looked at Situ Yan incredulously. He had never seen any woman by the Sect Master's side before. How could there suddenly be a granddaughter?
This was simply impossible.
However, just as Qin Ai and Gu Jing Qing were doubting, their gaze suddenly fell on the shimmering ancestral stone behind them.
They were familiar with the ancestral stone and knew very well what the golden light flashing on it meant.
Golden light meant kinship.
At this moment, Qin Ai and Situ Yan suddenly understood.
It turned out that when the Sect Master said he was busy earlier, it wasn't just an excuse; he was indeed busy!
The Sect Master was busy establishing the blood connection with Bai Li Hong Zhuang to confirm their relationship.
But at this critical moment, the repeated disturbances by the Elder could only make anyone's mood exceptionally bad.
It seemed that the Elder had really stumbled upon a gun this time!
Qin Ai and Gu Jing Qing felt helpless, but at this point, they could only consider the Elder unlucky.
Even if the Elder hadn't come earlier, what difference would it have made?
As Bai Li Hong Zhuang's grandfather, how could the Elder possibly gain anything from her? It would only be self-inflicted humiliation.
The hearts of the two were already filled with Bai Li Hong Zhuang's identity, which was truly unbelievable!
Bai Li Hong Zhuang was just a cultivator of a small-scale dynasty. If it weren't for the Young Sect Master being forced to go to the Feng Bo Country back then, they would never have had the chance to meet her.
However, now all these pieces came together, and Bai Li Hong Zhuang had such an extraordinary identity, which was truly astonishing.
In the next moment, Qin Ai and Gu Jing Qing's gaze towards Bai Li Hong Zhuang had changed significantly.
Now, Bai Li Hong Zhuang was no longer just a disciple of Tian Gang Sect, nor the Young Sect Master's fiancée. She was the jewel in the Sect Master's palm!
This identity was even more remarkable than Han Xi Ling's.
Because Han Xi Ling was only the Elder's granddaughter, while Bai Li Hong Zhuang was the Sect Master's granddaughter!
"Congratulations, Sect Master! Congratulations, Miss Bai Li!"
Qin Ai and Gu Jing Qing immediately offered their congratulations. It was truly not easy for the Sect Master to recognize Bai Li Hong Zhuang as his granddaughter.
