This is a valley.
Within the valley, the road twists and turns eighteen times, taking a long while to find the entrance.
As soon as they entered, they were stopped.
He introduced himself as Wu Chenzi and said he was looking for their Honored Master. Not long after the messenger went in, a group of people came and welcomed them.
Hua Rong was just drinking medicine. She was wearing a specially made black veil mask, revealing a pair of eyes and her mouth and nose.
Although her face was not clearly visible, Chu Qianli could see it clearly from the parts that were exposed. She was truly a peerless beauty.
No wonder she was a master of appreciating beauty; she herself was so good-looking.
However, at this moment, her face was clearly a little pale.
Was she injured internally?
Chu Qianli didn't remember much about what happened after her cultivation went awry.
Feng Dingchu also didn't explain in detail, only mentioning it briefly.
She hadn't figured out Hua Rong's current situation yet.
Hua Rong put down her cup and looked coldly at the two people standing in the center of the hall.
"What do you want from me?" she asked in a cold voice.
"I know Yu Linglong is with you. Honored Master, please hand her over to me," Feng Dingchu said gently.
"Why should I hand her over to you? I caught her myself." Hua Rong was dismissive.
Whoever she caught was hers!
Feng Dingchu was not angry. His temper always seemed to be exceptionally good.
Chu Qianli had never seen him angry... Well, they had only known each other for half a day, so she probably wouldn't have much opportunity to see it.
The two of them were talking, and it wasn't her place to interrupt. She just stood to the side and listened.
Feng Dingchu's voice was still soft, deep, and mellow. Even a cello couldn't produce such a pleasant sound:
"Honored Master, she was originally a little maid by my side. It is only right to hand her over to me..."
"Is that so?"
"Of course. As long as Honored Master hands her over to me, I won't mention Honored Master's past secrets. Then, we can all live in peace, can't we?"
"Feng Dingchu, you dare to threaten me?"
Hua Rong suddenly stood up, her eyes blazing with anger.
As expected of someone who had always been pampered, she couldn't tolerate the slightest grievance.
Chu Qianli didn't know what kind of life this Honored Master Fei Rong had lived during her disappearance of more than a decade.
She was so high and mighty, more arrogant than her own son, comparable to the emperor.
Facing Hua Rong's fury, Feng Dingchu remained calm and composed. "Yes, I am indeed threatening Honored Master. Honored Master should also know that with your current internal injuries, you are absolutely no match for me."
"..." Chu Qianli glanced at him sideways.
This man, using the gentlest voice, spoke the most provocative words.
No wonder Hua Rong was so furious.
Hua Rong was indeed so angry that she clenched her palms, her fingers held tightly.
Even though she was wearing a black veil mask, Chu Qianli felt as if she could see the muscles on her face trembling.
However, Hua Rong quickly calmed down. Her beautiful phoenix eyes stared at Feng Dingchu's excessively handsome face.
That gaze seemed a little reluctant at first, but it quickly turned icy.
"Fine, she was originally your person. I will return her to you now. However, Feng Dingchu, you must promise to keep my secrets!"
"What secrets?" the little maid beside her asked curiously.
"Feng Dingchu!" Hua Rong's face darkened, and she gritted her teeth. "If you dare to tell this girl, I will definitely kill her! Don't believe me, you can try!"
