Evil Emperor's Wild Consort - chapter-971

“As for his other virtue… He would set aside all his arrogance for
anyone who is more powerful than him and hold that person in the highest
esteem. He had previously treated you in that arrogant manner simply
because you had only been a gifted genius and not a cultivator that he
could look up to. Now that you’ve successfully refined a pill, it would
be logical that he would want to acknowledge you as his Master!”

Zuo Shangchen smiled, “Of course, he does have selfish motives for making
you his Master. His selfish motives are for Wind Valley’s sake! It goes
without saying this Elder Feng is indeed extremely loyal to Wind Valley.
He knows that it’s useless to be too forceful with you at this moment so
he had decided to humble himself. If you do take him as your disciple, I
anticipate that you would not be able to sit idly by should Wind Valley
encounter any dangers.”

That is Elder Feng’s one and only selfish motive!

Gu Ruoyun chuckled softly before she replied with a clear and cold gaze,
“I have no interest in him nor do I have any intentions of taking him as
my disciple. However, do tell me the situation in WInd Valley. You can
start with the Fire Spirit Beasts for example!”

This was the information that the little Vermillion Bird wanted to find
out.

After all, she has just taken in a little brother but this little
brother’s clan had been imprisoned by Wind Valley. As the older sister,
she would naturally want to avenge her little brother! Besides, Gu Ruoyun
has a feeling that once she enters First City, she would certainly
encounter members from Wind Valley.

Since that was the case, it would be best for her to know more about Wind
Valley.

“The Valley Lord of Wind Valley is truly a powerful cultivator and his
strength is not only confined to the aspect of power but in many other
aspects as well, ” Zuo Shangchen may not have a favorable impression of
Wind Valley, he could not help but admire the Valley Lord of Wind
Valley’s power. “However, Wind Valley is barren of male successors. The
Valley Lord has only one son and one daughter. The Young Master of Wind
Valley had exceptionally impressive natural talent and is also the true
Young Valley Lord of Wind Valley. However, a powerful unnamed cultivator
had plotted against him and crippled him of his powers! Even his life had
been on the brink of imminent peril. In order to save him, the Valley
Lord of Wind Valley had given everything he had which resulted in the
regression of his own powers as well.”

Gu Ruoyun did not say a thing as she listened to Zuo Shangchen’s account
with utmost seriousness. Her clear and cold pupils were like the still
waters of an ancient well, no one could tell what she was thinking.

“During that period of time, Wind Valley was in turmoil. It was also at
that moment that Feng Xiaoxiao had stepped out and single-handedly
pacified the chaos in Wind Valley. She was also able to show her
abilities to the Valley Lord and gained the position of Young Valley
Lord. Now, the world is under the impression that it was Feng Xiaoxiao’s
outstanding talent which had allowed her to usurp her brother’s position.
However, they aren’t aware of the fact that the Young Master of Wind
Valley had been crippled of his powers and no longer has the ability to
assume the position of Young Valley Lord.”

Gu Ruoyun fell silent for a moment before she raised her head to look at
Zuo Shangchen, “The fact that the Young Master of Wind Valley is actually
a good-for-nothing must be a secret in First City. How did you find out
about this?”

Zuo Shangchen smiled, “Xiao Yun’er, have you forgotten the Dark Yin
Palace’s role in West Spirit Mainland? There’s nothing in this world that
can escape my knowledge! Besides, there’s one more thing you should know,
Feng Xiaoxiao and the Young Master of Wind Valley have the same father
but have different mothers!”

Gu Ruoyun shook and stared at Zuo Shangchen in astonishment, “Why are you
telling me this? Are you trying to imply that Feng Xiaoxiao had something
to do with the Young Master of Wind Valley’s crippled powers?”

“I am only making a guess,” Zuo Shangchen shrugged his shoulders, “After
all, Feng Xiaoxiao had the motive to do so…”
