　　The Valley Lord’s expression filled with anger. He then turned his gaze turned towards the pale-looking Feng Xiaoxiao and asked, “What’s the meaning of this?

　　Feng Xiaoxiao continued to stagger backward. She had never expected that her glamor spell would be useless on this man. Could it be that he was more powerful than me? Feng Xiaoxiao wondered.

　　That’s simply impossible!

　　She quickly shook her head, denying that possibility.

　　Grand Lord Hong Lian has only managed to break through to an early-stage Martial Saint over a year ago. He could not possibly have received another promotion in power so quickly. How had he managed to resist the power of the glamor spell?

　　“This matter has been brought on by Feng Xiaoxiao alone, it has nothing to do with Wind Valley.”

　　Just as the crowd was reeling over the shock of Feng Xiaoxiao’s deeds, a clear, cold and calm voice suddenly chimed in. Instantly, all eyes turned their attention to an immaculate, lucid and elegant face.

　　“However,” Gu Ruoyun paused and smiled gently before she exclaimed, “I never thought that you would come here and make such an impressive entrance. Your presence had stunned everyone as soon as you’ve arrived. Have you ever experienced scaring so many people to the point of speechlessness?”

　　The crowd was in shock, they never thought that Gu Ruoyun would speak to Grand Lord Hong Lian in this manner. They could not help but to make guesses their identities.

　　“Hahaha.”

　　Grand Lord Hong Lian burst into laughter in front of the crowd. His laughter was carefree and uninhibited, very different from his usual grim and merciless air.

　　“You, little girl, is that any way to talk to your father? Come to me and let me see if you’ve gotten any thinner!”

　　Father?

　　This was like a shocking stroke of lightning, turning everyone dumbfounded.

　　Even Feng Yuqing, who was standing by Gu Ruoyun’s side, was in a daze. He stared at Gu Ruoyun in astonishment and his eyes were filled with shock.

　　Lady Gu is Grand Lord Hong Lian’s daughter?

　　No wonder she would make such a solemn vow, she’s actually his biological daughter! The funny thing is, Feng Xiaoxiao had been secretly plotting in front of Gu Ruoyun to become her stepmother all along.

　　Feng Xiaoxiao has also been thoroughly shocked to the point of confusion by this piece of news. She bit her increasingly pale lips and shifted her eyes, now full of disbelief, from Grand Lord Hong Lian to Gu Ruoyun’s face. One could imagine the shock she was feeling.

　　She now knows that this would be the typical ending for her unrequited love of many years.

　　Simply because she had once plotted to kill the love of her life’s daughter!

　　If she had found out about Gu Ruoyun’s identity a little sooner, she would never have committed such an unforgivable mistake!

　　“Father.”

　　Gu Ruoyun dashed towards Grand Lord Hong Lian’s arms in a flash and held the man in a tight hug. Her face then lit up into a smile, “You’re finally here…”

　　“How could I not come here?” Grand Lord Hong Lian chucked as he gently patted her head. His grim eyes then softened as he said, “If I don’t show up, who’s going to vent your frustrations for you? Feng Xiaoxiao had the audacity to cause trouble for you back at the Medicine Sect! Now, she still has the audacity to claim that I was going to marry her! When have I ever agreed to marry her? She had only used a glamor spell and she thought that I would do as she says. What a joke, what a great joke indeed!”

　　In the beginning, Feng Xiaoxiao could not understand the situation. There was no grudge between her and Grand Lord Hong Lian. Even if he disliked her, there was no need for him to hurt her this way.

　　However, now she knows the reason why; he was Gu Ruoyun’s father!

　　That was the explanation for this entire matter!
