Chapter 1173: A Person Not To Be Trifled With (7)
Logically speaking, Gu Ruoyun and Wind Valley do not have a friendly relationship. If Feng Xiaoxiao was to find out about Gu Ruoyun’s arrival in Wind Valley, she would most certainly come looking for her! This means that she would certainly help Feng Yuqing to regain his position! Only then would she be able to prevent Feng Xiaoxiao from causing trouble for her.
Besides, she also has her relationship with the fire spiritual beast. She had once promised the fire spiritual beast that she would help restore his clan to freedom.
Yet, she had rejected him!
Feng Yuqing had not expected Gu Ruoyun to reject him instantly either. He was shocked and a sense of astonishment flashed in his eyes, "You don’t want half of Wind Valley?"
"My apologies. If I want something, I can take it with my own two hands. I don’t need you to gift it to me!" Gu Ruoyun smiled indifferently. "Besides, I am a person who values her life. I do not wish to take this risk for the sake of someone who is insignificant to me. My powers are still quite low at the moment and I can’t go up against forces like Wind Valley. I think it would be better for you to look for someone else."
Gu Ruoyun knows that Feng Yuqing had come to look for her not simply because of her competition with Great Master Wu Yin.
As he was the Second Young Master of Wind Valley, he must have known of the conflict between her and Feng Xiaoxiao!
This was the crux of his invitation!
"Lady Gu, do you feel that half of Wind Valley is not enough?" Feng Yuqing’s lips gently trembled. "You can tell me what you want. As long as it’s within my power, I will get it for you!"
Gu Ruoyun shook her head. "You don’t understand what I’m saying. You and I are total strangers yet you want me to risk danger simply for the sake of an insignificant half of Wind Valley? I’m sorry, I am not that great yet! I can’t willingly sacrifice myself for the sake of helping others."
An insignificant half of Wind Valley?
Upon hearing this, the two men in grey robes who were standing by Feng Yuqing’s side could not contain themselves from rolling their eyes.
This woman was probably the only person who would underestimate Wind Valley in this manner!
Their Sir had put half of Wind Valley as remuneration, was there any greater reward than this? Yet she has rejected him without any hesitation!
"Lady Gu, can I exchange this with something else?" Feng Yuqing steadied the waves in his heart as a light flashed in his eyes. "A site of historical ruins had just been unearthed in a high mountain not too far away. I’d like to ask if you could accompany me there. Of couse, I will also provide you with substantial rewards."
Historical ruins?
Gu Ruoyun was shocked. She then eyed Feng Yuqing suspiciously and wrinkled her brows. "What kind of ruins are they?"
"I don’t know the specifics. It is said that it had been left behind by a powerful cultivator ten thousand years ago. Those who are lucky enough to enter the ruins will be able to obtain that inheritance!" Feng Yuqing took a deep breath and said. "If I can have that inheritance, I would then have enough power to defeat Feng Xiaoxiao. I only need you to protect me on my journey there and help me to obtain that inheritance. Ultimately, I will still reward you with half of Wind Valley!"
Gu Ruoyun fell silent.
Honestly speaking, she was not particularly interested in obtaining half of Wind Valley. However... Those ruins have piqued her interest.
"There is one thing that I can’t seem to understand."
She had not lost all reasoning when she heard Feng Yuqing’s words. Instead, she asked, "You already have two powerful cultivators at the exceptional state by your side. Why must you have me by your side with them around? My usefulness seems to be far less significant compared to these two."
Feng Yuqing smiled. "I want you to come along because you are a pill master. Those ruins are fraught with dangers. With a pill master on our side, we would have a guarantee at least. That’s why I’ve invited you to come with me."
