Chapter 474: Wailing Mountain

“Lord Gongye Yuyu knows your identity?”

Feng Lian was surprised by Victor’s words.

Victor was the enemy of the Central Plains Sect Alliance. No one knew this better than Gongye Yuyu. It could be said that all the big and small matters in the Central Plains Sect Alliance would pass through Gongye Yuyu’s hands. She was not surprised that he knew.

What was surprising was that Gongye Yuyu remained unmoved even though he was clearly aware of Victor’s identity. This made Feng Lian very puzzled.

“He needs me for something. Moreover, my goal is very simple. He has no reason to refuse. Of course, this isn’t the main point. The main point is, are you willing to leave with me?”

Victor re-examined his feelings for Feng Lian. Hmm, he did not particularly like her, but he did not hate her either. Feng Lian’s personality was very much to Victor’s liking, especially her setting as a military mother. Compared to the setting of an English teacher or a mother’s friend… it was one level higher.

However, the problem was, although Victor did not resist, what did Feng Lian think?

In the Central Plains Sect Alliance, Feng Lian’s status was not low, and her strength was in the nascent soul realm. She was a successful woman through and through, so Victor could not force Feng Lian to do anything.

Sure enough, Feng Lian buried her head in deep thought for a long time, but in the end, she still shook her head.

“It’s better to… forget it. It’s quite good for me to stay in the Central Plains Sect Alliance. I’m well fed and have 30,000 troops. Once Long Yi dies, no one will compete with me for the altar master position! This way, I can at least stay in the Central Plains Sect Alliance for another five years.

“Moreover, I’ve been in the Central Plains Sect Alliance for so many years. I’m already used to it. Although I’m despised by the outside world, I still think it’s okay, so…

“So…”

The light in Feng Lian’s eyes gradually disappeared, and she remained silent.

“I understand.”

Victor nodded and did not ask any more questions.

He could feel that in Feng Lian’s heart, she was actually more inclined to leave with Victor. Otherwise, she would not have come up with so many excuses to convince herself.

Yes, she did not say those words for Victor, she was trying to convince herself.

Victor was very clear about this, so he did not say anything more.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first. Lord Gongye Yuyu is waiting for me.”

Feng Lian lowered her head and left hurriedly without waiting for Victor’s reply.

Victor did not chase after her.

In fact, he wanted to chase after her, but it was better not to.

Since Feng Lian had already made up her mind, it was useless to say anything more.

After confessing to Feng Lian, Victor left to find Gongye Yuyu and asked him about the details of the transaction with the Xiao family.

However, as soon as he entered the door, Victor met Feng Lian who was crying her eyes out, and the scene immediately became a little awkward.

“Feng Lian? Why are you here?”

“I… I came to look for Gongye Yuyu to talk about something.”

Feng Lian realized that it was Victor, and she could not help but blush and stutter.

“Alright. Gongye Yuyu, I came to ask about your plan with the Xiao family.”

“I knew you would come to ask. It has been prepared.”

In front of Feng Lian, Gongye Yuyu took out a stack of mail notes wrapped in butter paper and threw it to Victor.

“Foster father… I’m still here…”

“It’s okay, didn’t this kid tell you everything? Moreover, there’s no need to hide this kind of thing from you.”

Gongye Yuyu waved his hand indifferently and was willing to ask Victor to sit down.

“Foster father? Tsk tsk tsk, I didn’t expect you to have such interests.”

“Feng Lian is a war orphan. I brought her back to the Central Plains Sect Alliance to raise her. Why can’t she call me foster father?”

“Foster father! Didn’t we agree not to mention these things to outsiders?”

Feng Lian was a strong person. She did not want Gongye Yuyu to be the reason for her status today. Therefore, only the two of them knew about this. Now, there was an additional Victor.

“Even so… I don’t want you to tell others about this…” Feng Lian looked a little wronged. She pursed her lips and looked unhappy.

“Ahem, father-in-law, your son-in-law has a question to ask you. Regarding the Wailing Mountain, can you give me a specific map?”

“Father-in-law?”

Hearing this, Feng Lian was both surprised and happy. She turned her head and looked at Victor’s profile, which was as defined as a knife, and could not help but be secretly happy.

“Well, this matter is a little special. Even the Central Plains Sect Alliance hasn’t fully explored the terrain of the Wailing Mountain, so I can only give you the map around the mining site. In addition, calling me your father-in-law is rather exaggerated. Feng Lian was just here to rant to me.”

“Foster father! What are you talking about!” Feng Lian glared at Gongye Yuyu with resentment, but her smile was very sweet.

“Hahaha, okay, okay, I won’t joke anymore. To be honest, this is the first time I’ve seen Feng Lian like this. Victor, how did you do it?”

“To tell you the truth, I didn’t do anything. If I have to say it, it might be because I’m too charming.” Victor was also very embarrassed. He did not flirt with girls, and he was not desperate. He did not know how things had escalated to this extent.

“Charming… never mind, let’s not talk about that. I got some information about the remnant soul from the Xiao family.”

“What information?”

“That remnant soul has the method to advance to the nascent soul realm!”

“The method to advance to the nascent soul realm? Wait, what does that mean? A remnant soul can help me advance to the nascent soul realm?”

“I’ve only heard about it. I don’t know much about the actual situation. You’ll understand after you get it. Besides, the Xiao family takes this matter very seriously. You’d better not reveal anything. Otherwise, once they trace it back to you, the Eastern Plains’ Green Dragon Sect will inevitably be affected. At that time, I can’t help you.”

“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”

“If there’s nothing else, you can get lost. I still have something to say to Feng Lian.”

“Tsk, are you getting rid of me as soon as you’ve accomplished your goal? Sooner or later, I’ll seduce your daughter into bed.”

After saying that, Victor hurriedly left, not looking at Feng Lian’s blushing face.

Looking at Victor’s back as he left, Gongye Yuyu laughed bitterly, he said, “This child definitely won’t be someone insignificant in the future. It’s a good thing that you’re fated with him, but he already has three women and might have more in the future. With your character, can you tolerate being with other women?”

“What foster father means is…”

“Don’t ask me. I’m just reminding you that this kid is a playboy. Beware of being seduced by him and not taking responsibility for the aftermath.”

“Foster father! I’m not that kind of person!”

“I’m just joking. I’m just joking.”

Gongye Yuyu waved his hand and slowly stood up. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to Feng Lian.

“You’ve been stuck in the early-stage nascent soul realm for almost seven years. Your qi is strong enough. It’s time to find an opportunity to break through to the middle stage. If you can break through to the middle stage before this kid leaves, I will support you. If you can’t, you can only stay.”
