Xiao Pangzi couldn't figure it out. After his grandfather left Tianfu Academy, he had observed for a while, but there was no abnormal news coming out of Cuiyan Valley. He turned away, but he didn't expect such a shocking change to happen almost two years later.Everyone knew that the two disciples under Hu Guzhu's name would inherit his mantle in the future. If nothing unexpected happened, the future valley master would be selected from these two disciples. But unexpectedly, something did happen, and both of them had problems. This caused a great shock to the entire Cuiyan Valley and might lead to the reshuffling of several forces within the valley.Xiao Pangzi didn't refuse Gu Yao's kindness. Being overly polite would not do justice to Gu Yao's sincerity. Gathering information was Xiao Pangzi's strength. After spending some spirit stones and pills, he quickly received information about the Guan family. After reading the content on it, Xiao Pangzi's hands trembled, and his eyes turned red."What's wrong with you?" Tian Feirong just ran in and was startled by Xiao Pangzi's appearance. His immediate reaction was that he had bullied Xiao Pangzi? But upon reflection, he didn't think he had done anything excessive, and he never thought that Xiao Pangzi was a person who would easily shed tears. He was really confused.Xiao Pangzi raised his head and saw that it was Tian Feirong. He quickly turned his back and rubbed his eyes fiercely a few times. When he spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse. "I'm fine. I have something to talk to Gu Yao about. You go ahead and do your own thing." After speaking, he ran away with red eyes, leaving Tian Feirong even more confused.He was sure that Gu Yao and Chi Changye knew what was going on, but he was the only one kept in the dark. This feeling was really bad! So what secret was Xiao Pangzi hiding?Tian Feirong punched the palm of his other hand and thought, why worry so much? Just follow up directly!When Gu Yao saw the information that Xiao Pangzi brought and his appearance, he sighed and patted his shoulder. This information alone was enough to prove that Sang Zhuo and Wan Siqing were destroyed by Hu Guzhu. Looking at the time interval between the incident and the trouble with the Guan family, perhaps Hu Guzhu deliberately prolonged the time to avoid suspicion on him and Xiao Pangzi, so as to prevent the high-level people in the valley from targeting them.Not long after Hu Guzhu returned, the Guan family's young lady became a fool, and her sea of consciousness was destroyed, obviously due to violent soul searching. Since the Guan family gave up on her after she became foolish, she lost her voice soon after. Anyway, no one in the Guan family mentioned that they had such a girl, and perhaps she had quietly died a long time ago.
The Guan family originally relied on the Cuiyan Valley and lived a good life, but in the past two years, they have been in decline and have been caught up by another family. The two families have had several disputes, but because they are both dependent families of the Cuiyan Valley, the Cuiyan Valley treats them equally. The Guan family has lost many resources and their status has been declining. In another two years, it is very likely that the Guan family will completely withdraw from their original territory and be replaced by another family.Speaking of it, this family and that girl are really damn bold. They dared to even calculate the only grandson of the Hu Valley Lord. If the Hu Valley Lord had not gone easy on that girl, it would have been even worse. The downfall of the Guan family should only be the result of the Hu Valley Lord's indulgence, not deliberate suppression. The Guan family cannot be blamed for this."I support whatever decision you make." Even if the chubby boy wants to immediately return to the Cuiyan Valley, Gu Yao has no objections.The chubby boy nodded vigorously and said, "I can't inherit my grandfather's alchemy skills anyway, so it doesn't matter whether I go back to the Cuiyan Valley or not. I have thought about it. I will send a letter back to my grandfather to let him know that I am safe outside and will regularly update him on my situation. My grandfather should choose another disciple with good character to pass on his alchemy skills. If I don't go back, my grandfather can focus on researching alchemy without wasting time on me." Gu Yao patted the chubby boy's shoulder again. He was very welcome to stay. He and Tian Erge had helped him and Ye Dage a lot. It would be difficult for him to trust others like that. Outside, Tian Feirong peeked inside with a curious expression, eager for gossip.The chubby boy also saw him and wiped his face, saying, "I'll talk to Tian Erge. Gu Yao, you can go about your business." Gu Yao nodded and the chubby boy walked towards Tian Feirong. The latter had no shame and even put his arm around the chubby boy's shoulder. The chubby boy gave him a sideways glance and said, "Let's go find a place to talk."
So next, Tian Feirong held a wine glass and heard a huge secret, almost shattering the glass in his hand. It turned out that Wei Zhengfei was the pseudonym of Xiaopangzi, and his real name was Hu Weicai!Who is Hu Weicai? Tian Feirong blurted out, "You are the second generation of Cuiyan Valley?" Xiaopangzi was speechless. He didn't consider himself a second generation, but Tian Feirong thought he had the demeanor of a young master from a small family. Grinding his teeth, he said, "Yes, I am that second generation. Back then in Shifang City, you must have gossiped about me, that second generation!"Tian Feirong's scalp tingled. Oh my, this is a big deal. He didn't expect the person they were looking for to be right beside them. He bowed and apologized, saying, "I didn't know, I just heard rumors and followed along. Now that I think about it, no wonder you don't treat spirit stones as real spirit stones. I always wondered why you were so wealthy. It turns out you have a good grandfather.""Get lost!" Xiaopangzi cursed angrily and amusedly. He was always depressed, and this guy was enjoying the show."Don't," Tian Feirong thickened his face. He couldn't just leave when told to. He approached and said, "It seems that Gu Yao and the others knew about your identity all along, and in the end, I was the only one who didn't know. You all kept it from me, but those people outside definitely couldn't have guessed. They searched high and low for someone who was hiding in Tianfu Academy, haha. By the way, something big happened in Cuiyan Valley. Xiaopangzi, aren't you going back to take a look?"Seeing that Tian Feirong's attitude towards him hadn't changed, still calling him Xiaopangzi, he felt as happy as he used to be annoyed. Of course, he couldn't express this feeling, or else this guy would be even more delighted. Holding his chin, he said, "No, I told Gu Yao that I won't go back. I'll send a regular letter to let my grandfather know that I'm fine and that I don't want to get involved in anything related to Cuiyan Valley."Tian Feirong roughly guessed Xiaopangzi's situation in Cuiyan Valley. After all, a young valley master would rather live as an ordinary cultivator outside than go back and enjoy the status and honor of a valley master.Tian Feirong looked at Xiaopangzi and imagined a pitiful and miserable little fat boy in his mind. Xiaopangzi knew from his expression that he wasn't thinking anything good, so he got up from his chair, patted his butt, and ran away, saying, "I'll write the letter, do as you please!"Isn't ignoring him enough? Only when his mind is messed up does he remember to explain it clearly to him. Xiaopangzi hummed in his heart.He didn't admit that he was actually quite happy. Leaving Cuiyan Valley, he finally made a friend. Soon, Xiaopangzi's letter was sent to Cuiyan Valley through a special channel. Cuiyan Valley was going through a turbulent time, and who would dare intercept the valley master's letters? They didn't even dare to tamper with them, thinking that the valley master wouldn't notice? The current situation of Sang Shuo and Wan Siqing made the valley master's position even more important. They had Hu Valley Master.
In the Cuiyan Valley, only with such a transcendent status can it maintain its position. Otherwise, with the envy of other forces towards the feng shui treasures, spiritual veins, and vast spiritual fields occupied by the Cuiyan Valley, it would be a big problem to protect them. Even the various family forces that rely on the Cuiyan Valley, can they willingly remain loyal?"My letter? Bring it here!" Lord Hu Gu reached out to grab the letter and took it into his hand. He scanned it with his divine sense before opening it to read, then waved his hand to dismiss the person.After the others left, Lord Hu Gu's expression changed. It was a safe letter sent by his grandson.No wonder, Gu Yao had reminded him of his grandson's situation two years ago. It turned out that Wei Cai was by his side, and he had known Wei Cai's identity early on. Thinking back to the exchanges with Gu Yao during those days, Lord Hu Gu couldn't help but feel that his grandson had better insight than him. Even though Gu Yao had discovered Wei Cai's identity, he didn't have any intention of using it. Back then, he had sought it out himself.Although it was sad that Wei Cai didn't want to come back, considering what he said in the letter and the results of the private investigation, Lord Hu Gu had to admit that his grandson's concerns were valid. He was not only living freely outside, but his cultivation had also improved faster than before. Thinking about how Gu Yao, with his four spiritual roots, had reached the ninth level of Qi refining, perhaps Wei Cai could also continue to bring him surprises.After a while, Lord Hu Gu finally calmed his turbulent emotions and walked out, concealing any trace of his previous strangeness.Lord Hu Gu didn't intend to break the inheritance of the Cuiyan Valley. He also wanted to pass down his alchemy skills without any reservation. However, this time when selecting disciples, he couldn't just consider their aptitude and talent. The lesson was right in front of him - a person's character and conduct were equally important.Because of the news that Lord Hu Gu was accepting disciples, the Cuiyan Valley became lively and bustling again. Moreover, he was not only accepting disciples from within the Cuiyan Valley, but also accepting suitable children with wood and fire spiritual roots from outside. The previous crisis seemed to have quickly disappeared.This grand event made the disciples and high-ranking members of the valley quickly forget about the two disciples who had already been discarded. There was no need to mention how they would choose.Representatives from the Tianfu Academy sent gifts to congratulate Lord Hu Gu on finding satisfactory disciples. Lord Hu Gu was very polite to the representatives from the academy, and others thought it was because of Gu Yao. But in reality, it was not just because of Gu Yao's sake, but also because his grandson was currently studying at the Tianfu Academy.Gu Yao stood outside the Sword Gate, accompanied by none other than Shi Yanyan. This was not the first time they had met at the Sword Peak.Looking at Shi Yanyan, who was emitting a cold aura and had become cold and gloomy, Gu Yao couldn't help but sigh at how things had changed. Who could have imagined that the once proud and arrogant girl would become like this now.
