Behind him were two guards armed with swords and sabers. Their faces were expressionless as they guarded his back loyally.
The ones who had sent the message were the guards behind the man.
The white-robed man slowly walked towards them. A natural domineering aura filled the air as he walked, causing the people around him to lower their heads.
This was the power of a cultivator at the refined state. Just his coercion alone was enough to make anyone submit to him.
"Can anyone tell me what's going on?"
The Valley Lord's eyes swept across the crowd as he asked in a cold and distant voice.
"Reporting to the Valley Lord." Elder Bai glared fiercely at the ugly look on Elder Feng's face before he turned towards the Valley Lord and said, "Elder Feng has colluded with an outsider and wants to harm the Second Young Master. That outsider is now in the room and is using poison on the Second Young Master yet he won't let us in. He won't even let us take a peek! Please give us justice, Valley Lord! "
Hearing this, the Valley Lord's cold and distant eyes turned towards Elder Feng. His voice was icy as he asked, "Is this true?"
"Valley Lord." Elder Feng joined his fists as he spoke with an ugly look on his face, "It's like this. You should still remember the genius called Gu Ruoyun whom I had mentioned to you before. Now, Gu Ruoyun has arrived at Wind Valley and can help the Second Young Master recover his powers. Hence, I'm helping her."
Elder Bai sneered and replied disdainfully, "Elder Feng, if what you've said is true, why won't you let us in to take a peek? If she really has the power to save the Second Young Master, we won't disturb her. What about you? You won't even let us in. If you don't want to help her harm the Second Young Master, what else could it be? "
"This..." Elder Feng was momentarily at a loss for words. He paused for a moment before he replied, "Valley Lord, please believe me. The sun and moon can bear witness to my loyalty to Wind Valley! I have no intention of harming him! If you were to barge into the room without permission, you would certainly cause the Second Young Master's death! "
The Valley Lord fell silent. No one could tell what was on his grave and stern face as he remained silent.
"Father." Feng Xiaoxiao looked at Elder Feng before she walked towards the Valley Lord. Her voice was as gentle as the wind as it slowly rang out in the silent courtyard. "I believe in Elder Feng. He would never want to harm my younger brother."
Elder Bai was shocked. He never thought that Feng Xiaoxiao would speak up for Elder Feng. Wasn't their objective to deal with Gu Ruoyun? It was obvious that Elder Feng had chosen to stand on Gu Ruoyun's side.
Then why did she help him?
Elder Feng never thought that Feng Xiaoxiao would be the one to speak up for him in the end. He could not help but look at her gratefully. After all, based on his earlier attitude, it was already good enough that the Eldest Lady had not complained about him to the Valley Lord, let alone speak up for him.
"However..." Feng Xiaoxiao's eyes darted back and forth. "Based on my understanding of Gu Ruoyun, that woman is very intelligent and cunning! Elder Feng had taken pity on his father's love for his son and had easily believed Gu Ruoyun's words. He was not wrong, he could only blame the other party for being too cunning! Elder Feng had only done this out of good intentions. However, Gu Ruoyun would never save Yu Qing. Just last night, Yu Qing had sent his men to kidnap Gu Ruoyun and make her his concubine. Think about it, based on their current concern, how could Gu Ruoyun possibly save him? "
Feng Xiaoxiao no longer cared about Gu Ruoyun's motives for coming here. As long as she arrives in Wind Valley, she could use her father's hand to kill her.
