"Are you talking about the same Grand Lord Hong Lian who's fighting against the Lin family?" The Valley Lord was astonished. "Grand Lord Hong Lian is indeed a genius. I remember that he was only a Martial King when the Lin family began to hunt him down but he's grown to this stage under those circumstances. Now, the Lin family themselves are having a headache because of him. Xiaoxiao, are you interested in Grand Lord Hong Lian?"

Feng Xiaoxiao nodded. "Father, Grand Lord Hong Lian is the man I've been searching for. The funny thing was, I didn't know it was him."

"Xiaoxiao," said the Valley Lord as he furrowed his brows. "I do admire Grand Lord Hong Lian and I won't object to having him as my son-in-law. Based on his talents, as long as he trains with Wind Valley diligently, it won't be a problem. However, Grand Lord Hong Lian already has a wife. Do you plan to become his concubine?"

"No," Feng Xiaoxiao shook her head and replied. "Grand Lord Hong Lian's wife has been missing for over twenty years, no one knows if she's dead or alive. She might not even be in the land of the living anymore. Humans live for a very long time, does he plan on staying alone forever? That's clearly impossible! I believe that I have a chance of becoming his wife. I have confidence in myself."

Even though the news of Gu Ruoyun's identity as Grand Lord Hong Lian's daughter has spread throughout the mainland, this news still has not reached the First City. Hence, Feng Xiaoxiao was blissfully unaware that she was scheming on someone's father right in front of their own daughter.

If she had known of Gu Ruoyun's identity as Grand Lord Hong Lian's daughter, she would never have brazenly discussed this matter out in the open.

The Valley Lord thought for a moment before he slowly replied, "Grand Lord Hong Lian is a little advanced in his age but I do admire him very much. He's probably the only person from the secular world who holds my admiration! If you wish to marry him, I won't have any objections. I can help you to send the invitation. However, whether the Grand Lord wishes to marry you or not, that depends on your abilities. I can't help you there."

"Yes, Father."

Feng Xiaoxiao joined her fists. When she lowered her head, her eyes were filled with smiles.

She has a good amount of confidence in her own abilities. There will be time for that later. She believes that she could slowly influence him in time.

After listening in to the conversation between the father and daughter, a queer look appeared in Gu Ruoyun's eyes but she ultimately kept quiet.

She had been worrying about how to inform her father about her whereabouts. Since Wind Valley is going to invite her father, she could just wait for him here. Once she meets her father, it will be time to find the Lin family to seek revenge...

...

"Grand Lord."

In an inn, a figure appeared out of thin air with a whoosh behind the red-robed man who was standing in front of a window. "Members of Wind Valley have recently been looking for you, Grand Lord."

"Wind Valley?"

The man gently raised his brow and slowly turned around. A cold smile then formed on his grim features. "Why is Wind Valley looking for me?"

"Apparently, it's the Eldest Lady of Wind Valley's birthday and they want to invite you, Grand Lord, to join the celebration."

Eldest Lady of Wind Valley?

Grand Lord Hong Lian fell silent. "If I remember correctly, this Eldest Lady of Wind Valley has caused trouble for Yun'er once. Since that's the case, I'm going to pay Wind Valley a visit! I want to see what they want!"

One can cross anyone but never cross this madman, Grand Lord Hong Lian!

This madman has been known to hold a grudge. Feng Xiaoxiao had once caused trouble for Gu Ruoyun in the Medicine Sect and he has not forgotten about this matter. Hence, this was why he had accepted Wind Valley's invitation this time all for the sake of a chance to avenge his daughter!
