The middle-aged man crossed his arms over his chest and said calmly: "Nothing else. I am here to take Miss Bai back to my home on the order of the great elder."
"My promise to the great elder was true, but what I said at the time was that after my friend's matter is settled. If you do this now, aren't you afraid of being blamed by the clan leader?" Taking a deep breath, Bai Zhuling argued with reason.
"I only know that the moment you agreed, you were already a member of the Great Elder. As for your friends, aren't they already in Dark Night City? Don't worry, I will send someone to take them to the Patriarch's Mansion.
"
The middle-aged man's face remained calm and indifferent, and his tone was even more indifferent, leaving no room for Bai Zhuling at all.
"You..." Bai Zhuling's eyes widened angrily.
Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man shrugged and several figures gathered around him from behind.
"Miss Bai, I am also following orders, don't make it difficult for me!"
Biting her lips, Bai Zhuling said with a look of sorrow and anger: "Okay, I'll go with you! But you must send someone to take my friends and others to the patriarch's mansion."
"Of course!" The middle-aged man nodded.
Bai Zhuling took a deep breath, quickly calmed down, and then turned back to look at Ren Ze and Su Twelve with a smile.
"Grandpa Ren, Senior Su, I have something to go to the Grand Elder's Mansion to handle. I can't accompany you personally for the rest of the journey."
"But you can rest assured that the clan leader will never break his promise."
"They will take you to the patriarch's mansion. Once you arrive, the patriarch will solve the problems you need to deal with, Senior Su."
Bai Zhuling explained with a smile, trying her best to pretend that nothing was wrong.
But after all, she is still young, just a child of eighteen or nineteen years old.
In the eyes of Su Twelve and Ren Ze, no matter how hard they tried to stay calm, it was still obvious to them.<

After a quick glance at each other, Su Twelve stepped forward and walked to Bai Zhuling.
"Not urgent!"
Grinning slightly, his eyes immediately fell on the middle-aged man.
"This Tao... friend, what is the purpose of taking her to the Great Elder's Mansion?"
"No comment!" The middle-aged man shook his head with a cold expression.
"It seems... it should be related to Su's matter. In that case, could you please go back and tell your elders and clan leaders that Su's matter will be resolved by himself, so I won't bother the nobles."
Su Twelve was still smiling, his eyes sparkling with wisdom.
Neither Bai Zhuling nor the middle-aged man said much, but based on the previous conversation between the two, it was not difficult for him to guess what happened.
Without thinking, he also knew that Bai Zhuling must have made some kind of compromise in order to get the Ye Clan to agree to help solve his problem.
The mark of Tiandao Palace on his body is indeed like a sword hanging from the top, making it always thorn in his back.
If we don't solve this problem, even if we leave Shiwan Mine, we will inevitably die.
You can resolve your own crisis, but it cannot be achieved by sacrificing others.
Bai Zhuling is just a mortal, perhaps an insignificant ant in the eyes of many monks.
But in his eyes, this is a life that has the same weight as his own, and it can even be regarded as his friend.
Sacrificing Bai Zhuling to solve the crisis he faced was definitely not something he could do.
"Senior Su, I..."
Just as Su Twelve finished speaking, Bai Zhuling quickly turned around to look.
Xiang Su Twelve looked surprised, but was about to speak.
But before he could say anything, Su Twelve interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Su Twelve's smile disappeared and he said seriously: "As for the agreement between Zhu Ling and you, no matter what the specific content is, let it go!"
"Now, you can leave!"
The middle-aged man crossed his arms over his chest, without moving at all. He sneered and said, "Just give it up and leave? Haha, who do you think you are? Are you a mere foreigner who has the right to interfere in the affairs of our Night Clan?"
"It's true that Su is a foreigner, but since the agreement is related to me, how can I be said to be interfering in your Night Clan's affairs?"
Facing the insult, a cold light flashed across Su Twelve's eyes. There was no sadness or joy on his face, and he spoke calmly.
"How you understand it is your business. Whether you want to go to the clan leader or not has nothing to do with us."
"I only know that the moment the agreement was reached, Bai Zhuling became our great elder. Now, I want to take her away."
The middle-aged man shrugged, still looking indifferent.
As his voice fell, several figures who came with him looked at Bai Zhuling one after another, with unkind expressions on their faces.
"Bai Zhuling, are you going to come with us yourself, or are you going to wait for us to take action before we take you away by force?"
"Your two friends may be powerful and arrogant immortal cultivators in the outside world. But here, they are from the Night Clan, not to mention, they have so-called seals on them to seal their cultivation."
"If we really want to take action, we won't care about death or injury!"
Turning to look at Bai Zhuling, the middle-aged man ignored Su Twelve and spoke with intimidation and threats.
When talking about Su Twelve and Ren Ze, their words were even more full of disdain.
"Don't do anything, I'll go with you!"
Bai Zhuling looked horrified and hurriedly spoke.
But before she could move, Su Twelve held her shoulders and held her in place.
"Friend, Su should not interfere in your Ye Clan's affairs. But... Zhu Ling cannot go with you."
"If you renege rashly and make your great elder dissatisfied, or harm his interests, you can ask the great elder to come up with conditions, or invite him to come over, and we will have an interview."
"As long as the demands are not excessive, Su can make compensation if he can do it."
Su Twelve continued to speak with a calm expression.
Even if Bai Zhuling agreed, there was no way he would let her leave. Judging from the attitudes of these people, it didn't take a second thought to know that going to the Great Elder's Mansion would definitely do nothing good.
The research on Biyunxuan's seal allowed him to find a way to temporarily break the seal, which also gave him more confidence.
Even if he is afraid of the Night Clan, he is not afraid.
However, Bai Zhuling and her sister are members of the Night Clan after all, and his purpose is just to terminate the agreement between Bai Zhuling and the Night Clan's chief and great elder.
It is best not to offend the Night Clan.
Otherwise, if he and Ren Ze leave in the future, the unlucky ones will still be Bai Zhuling and his brother.
"Compensation? If you want to talk about it, you can talk to the great elder yourself. I will definitely take him away today."
The middle-aged man's tone remained indifferent, his words were aggressive, and he did not let up at all.
After that, he waved his hand and commanded the few people who came with him to go directly to Bai Zhuling and take action.
"How about we go find the Great Elder together now?"
Su Twelve's expression darkened, and he protected Bai Zhuling behind him.
