The First City was every cultivator’s dream destination on this mainland!
“Apologies, I’m much too used to my unconstrained life. I don’t wish to be tied down by anything or anyone so while I do appreciate your kindness, I have to turn your offer down.”
Gu Ruoyun shook her head and replied with a clear, breezy voice as if she had not noticed the looks of envy around her.
Feng Xiaoxiao mildly raised her brows when she heard this and a severe light flashed in her warm gaze. However, before she could speak, a jovial and teasing voice spoke up behind her.
“Tsk, tsk. I never expected Wind Valley to stoop this low. They have rejected your invitation three times but you still refuse to give up? Feng Xiaoxiao, I had the impression that you are an intelligent person but I never thought that you would behave so foolishly. What? Could it be that the great Wind Valley wishes to use their might and force a weak little girl?”
Gu Ruoyun turned around when she head that evil voice. In that instant, a flashy and enticing figure in peach blossom pink appeared before her eyes under the light from the setting sun.
The man’s face was lit up with a brilliant smile. This time, he was not seated on the palanquin carried by gorgeous handmaidens. He stood with his hands folded behind his head and his stance was indolent and impish. He looked around lazily as if he had just woken up from a nap.
However, his narrowed peach blossom eyes were filled with a bantering smile and his peerlessly handsome face was like a peach blossom, extremely splendid. He glanced at Gu Ruoyun’s gaze and gently curled the corner of his lips before speaking in an indolent manner, “Xiao Yun’er, why are you looking at me like that? Could it be that you’ve missed me so much after being away from me for just a few days? Since that’s the case, my arms are wide open for you. Come and give me a hug.”
As he spoke, he opened his arms and that evil smile grew even deeper.
The corners of Gu Ruoyun’s mouth twitched a little. She paid no attention to the flashy and enticing evildoer and turned her attention back to Feng Xiaoxiao.
Though Zuo Shangchen had been ignored so easily, he did not feel embarrassed at all. He freely put his hands down then turned his peach blossom gaze towards Feng Xiaoxiao as well. Despite his indolent manner, his eyes were still flashing with a sharp, cold light.
Feng Xiaoxiao has recovered from her initial shock as her expression changed several times. After a long pause, the sharpness in her eyes subsided and the gentle warmth in her gaze returned, “The great Young Master Zuo, I didn’t expect you to be here. You’ve certainly given me a fright.”
Hearing this, a light flashed in Gu Ruoyun’s eyes. That light then disappeared in a flash and was virtually undetectable.
