"I have some business with him."
Gu Ruoyun replied indifferently, clearly unwilling to reveal anything to Elder Feng.
Elder Feng suddenly felt apprehensive. He carefully eyed Gu Ruoyun, trying to figure out what the Second Young Master could have done to offend her which resulted in her storming into Wind Valley!
"Master, I'm not sure what grudge you have against the Second Young Master but no matter the Second Young Master's abilities, it does not change the fact that the Valley Lord loves him. Therefore..." Elder Feng exclaimed in confusion, "If you really want to cause trouble for the Second Young Master, the Valley Lord would definitely step out to protect him."
Gu Ruoyun's gaze landed upon Elder Feng as she slowly replied. "I've agreed to meet him here so just take me to him. That's all you need to do."
Agreed?
Elder Feng was thoroughly shocked. Is Master saying that she and the Second Young Master have an agreement? Could it be that their relationship is not what I think it is?
In the end, Elder Feng fortified his heart and said, "Come with me, Master."
"I am not your Master."
After hearing Elder Feng address her in that manner, Gu Ruoyun furrowed her brows and said, "You don't have to call me that."
"No, no, no." Elder Feng shamelessly exclaimed. "Master, I know that my powers aren't strong enough and that's why you won't acknowledge me. It's alright, I'll work hard and earn the right to become your disciple."
A sense of exasperation flashed across Gu Ruoyun's face as she stared at Elder Feng's shameless face.
"Take me to Feng Yuqing first."
"Yes, Master."
When Elder Feng saw how she had not forced him to change his manner of address, his expression turned into one of flattery as he quickly led the way.
Elder Feng jabbered on and on the entire way and did not stop talking at all.
In the beginning, Gu Ruoyun had given him a few half-hearted replies. In the end, she could no longer be bothered and would rather keep her mouth shut, ignoring the old man's long-winded ramblings.
Previously, they had interacted while they were at the Medicine Sect as well. However, she never thought that the once proud Elder Feng would have such an annoying personality. She really could not understand how the members of Wind Valley could have tolerated him...
At the North Park. The scene was desolate and there were only two servants sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard.
Ever since the Second Young Master of Wind Valley's power had been crippled, he decided to move to the remote North Park that same year. No matter how much the Valley Lord had tried to stop him, it was useless! He had to leave him to it!
To ensure a peaceful environment for his only son, the Valley Lord had issued an order declaring that no one was allowed to enter the North Park. Hence, without Elder Feng's escort, Gu Ruoyun would never have been able to enter it!
"I never thought that the dignified Young Sir of Wind Valley would be living in a place like this."
Gu Ruoyun laughed icily as she stared at the bleak and declining conditions of North Park. Her lips were curled into a small angle.
Elder Feng felt a little awkward. "Master, the Second Young Master had insisted on moving here. No matter how much the Valley Lord had tried to persuade him, it was useless. The Valley Lord had no choice but to leave him in his stubborn ways."
He paused for a bit before he turned towards the quiet side room in front of him and said, "We're here, this is the Second Young Master's residence! Master, I still don't know how you and the Second Young Master know each other. Such a powerful person like yourself shouldn't be acquainted with a good-for..."
The words 'good-for-nothing' nearly slipped out but Elder Feng managed to stop himself in time. He chuckled and his eyes darted back and forth. "I'm really curious, how do you know each other"
