"What did you say?"
In the Lin family home, the old man slammed the table and rose to his feet. His face was ashen as he roared angrily, "That damned Grand Lord Hong Lian is going to marry the Eldest Lady of Wind Valley, Feng Xiaoxiao! If they really get married, I'm afraid that it won't be so easy for us to attack him! "
"Master, the entire First City knows about this. What do you think..."
The footboy stared cautiously at the old man as he asked in a trembling voice.
The old man's body slumped heavily into his chair. His elderly features changed unpredictably. After a long pause, he sighed gently, "You may leave, I need to think of a plan."
"Yes, Master."
The manservant hurriedly retreated, afraid that the Patriarch's anger would be directed at him in a moment.
...
At this moment, in a teahouse not too far away from Wind City, a woman in white robes was seated in a corner. She slowly sipped the tea in her hand and her features, which were similar to Gu Ruoyun's, were shrouded in a cold and distant air. Anyone who had the intention to strike up a conversation dared not approach her at all.
"Have you heard?"
Just then, a voice rang out from the teahouse, "I heard that Grand Lord Hong Lian is going to marry the Eldest Lady of Wind Valley."
"Grand Lord Hong Lian? Are you talking about the Grand Lord Hong Lian who had opposed the Lin family and had grown up while being hunted by the Lin family? Tsk tsk, Grand Lord Hong Lian's talents aren't too bad. To think that he would be able to grow to such a state in the secular world! I've also heard that when he was still a high-level Martial Supreme, he had charged out of the Lin family's Martial Saint encirclement and killed two of them! "
The Lin family?
Those two words made the woman in white put down the cup in her hand. Her willowy brows twitched as she listened quietly to the conversation in the crowd.
"However, no matter how powerful Grand Lord Hong Lian is, he can't compare to the Eldest Lady of Wind Valley. For a man from the secular world to marry Feng Xiaoxiao, he's really climbing up the social ladder. Oh, that's right, have you heard of Grand Lord Hong Lian's name? I heard that his name is Gu Tian! "
Boom!
Like a bolt from the blue, the woman in white in the corner trembled. The cold air around her grew thicker and filled the entire teahouse.
She then picked up the longsword in her hand and charged out of the teahouse without looking back.
Only after she had left did the icy cold in the teahouse dissipate...
…
Of course, news of Grand Lord Hong Lian and Feng Xiaoxiao's marriage has also reached Gu Ruoyun's ears. She gently raised her brow when she heard this and a cold smile hung on her face. "It seems that Feng Xiaoxiao is determined to be my stepmother."
Yunyao looked at Gu Ruoyun and asked, "Master, I don't think that Feng Xiaoxiao is the type of person who would speak without thinking. Could something have happened to Grand Lord Hong Lian?"
Gu Ruoyun fell silent as a cold light flashed across her eyes, "Father is not someone who can be framed so easily! Besides, it seems like Feng Xiaoxiao does not know that I'm his daughter so she would never use me to threaten him! So, I don't know what happened that caused Father to agree to marry her. "
"Master." Yunyao fell silent for a moment before she asked, "Do you want me to look for Grand Lord Hong Lian? Ask him what exactly happened? Master can rest assured. "
Gu Ruoyun's eyes darkened, "Alright, go and find out what's going on. I'm worried about him."
