Sun Yidao's injuries flared up again, forcing Feng Guang, who was packing his bags to leave, to stay. On this sunny day, two people arrived outside the Valley of Old Friends. After informing the Valley Master, the guards let them in.
The two men went straight to Fengguang. When Fengguang saw Shanya and Mu Liunian, she was surprised. She hadn't expected them to come to Guren Valley to find her.
Mu Liunian said casually, "It's just a Valley of Old Friends. It wouldn't be difficult for our Qianjin Pavilion to find it."
“No, that’s not what surprised me…” Feng Guang glanced at Mu Liunian and Shan Ya’s clasped hands and fell into an eerie silence.
A rare hint of embarrassment appeared on Shan Ya's usually cold and stern face, but Mu Liunian was quite strong, and he couldn't shake her off. In fact, even he himself didn't believe that.
"I'm curious, how is Miss Jinlu?"
"What do you mean by that?" Mu Liunian snapped, pulling Shan Ya behind her. "Old Madam Tang wants Jinlu to marry Shan Ya. You wouldn't be thinking the same thing, would you?"
"No, no, I'm just... curious." Feng Guang was telling the truth. It was true that Jin Lu liked Shan Ya, but Shan Ya didn't like Jin Lu, while Tang Jiu Ge liked Jin Lu. She was very curious about how this love triangle was resolved. To put it bluntly, it was just her gossipy nature at work.
As for Old Madam Tang, she definitely hoped that Jinlu could be with Shanya. Tang Jiuge's status and position were not low enough to marry a maid.
With Mu Liunian's small frame, even if he wanted to shield Shan Ya, a tall man, he wouldn't have the ability. Shan Ya casually raised his hand and ruffled Mu Liunian's hair, then said to Feng Guang, "Jin Lu has left the Tang Clan and returned to the Demonic Sect."
Her affair with Tang Jiuge naturally came to nothing.
"She's a member of the Demonic Sect?" Feng Guang asked in surprise.
"That's right, Jinlu is a spy sent by Nangong Li to the Tang Clan."
Mu Liunian clung to Shan Ya's arm. She was petite, while Shan Ya was much taller than her. It looked as if she was hanging on his arm. She chuckled and said, "Not only is Jinlu a disciple, but Shan Ya is also the Right Protector of the Demonic Sect."
Feng Guang's mind went blank. "Shan Ya, you... really don't seem like a member of the Demonic Sect."
Dan Ya exudes the aura of a righteous swordsman, so upright that he couldn't be more so. How could he be a member of the Demonic Sect? Moreover, he is such a high-ranking Right Protector. Besides, that day in the bamboo forest, neither he nor Nangong Li noticed anything amiss.
Knowing her confusion, Shan Ya said, "I am the Right Protector of the Demonic Sect, and Nangong Li does not know this. The Right Protector of the Demonic Sect has never shown his face since its existence. They only obey the orders of the sect leader. But Nangong Li has no right to order me."
"The only one who can command you... is him?" Feng Guang said absentmindedly.
“That’s right.” Shan Ya nodded. “Although he left the Demonic Sect, he did not completely entrust power to Nangong Li. He asked me to stay in the Tang Clan because he did not trust Nangong Li regarding the matter of obtaining the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle. Moreover, it was I who advised Tang Jiuge to escape the marriage contract by pretending to be poisoned. He gave me the poison. Only when Tang Jiuge is poisoned can he legitimately enter the Tang Clan.”
It turned out he had planned everything long ago. Feng Guang felt a chill run down her spine. She suddenly remembered, "That map of the Tang Clan's secret chamber?"
“I gave it to him. Jinlu has been in the Tang Clan since he was a child, but he could only get the map outside the secret chamber. But I, relying on my identity as Tang Jiuge’s master, sneaked into the Tang Clan’s treasure pavilion and got that map.”
"Why does he want the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles?" Feng Guang didn't believe that someone could unify the martial arts world with just this hidden weapon. Moreover, with his skills, he could manipulate both the righteous and the wicked, and he could have unified the martial arts world long ago.
Mu Liunian said, "He doesn't want the Rain of Pear Blossoms Needle, he wants the poison on it."
