During this time, Lin Meiling was also thinking of ways to eliminate Dong Mengdie and prevent her from becoming the Mysteress.
Therefore, the atmosphere in the Mysterious Palace had become one of tension and suspicion.
Since the Palace Master was in seclusion for cultivation, all affairs of the Mysterious Palace were managed by the Great Elder, who was Lin Meiling's aunt.
Thus, Lin Meiling held a lot of sway; with such an opportunity, she, of course, intended to get rid of Dong Mengdie.
Her aunt had mentioned that Dong Mengdie's cultivation talent was incredibly strong, and given more resources and time, she would definitely reach the Half-Step Nascent Soul strength.
By then, Dong Mengdie would be the new Young Palace Master, not her, Lin Meiling.
How could Lin Meiling accept such a loss? She immediately conspired with her aunt to deal with Dong Mengdie before the Palace Master finished her seclusion.
Alternatively, find a man to take away Dong Mengdie's purity.
