However, this left Chen Moxuan in a state of self-preservation, unable to engage in any other unnecessary actions. As the Heartless Talisman radiated its light, Wu Shanshan immediately grabbed Chen Moxuan's hand and ran in a specific direction.
Had she not activated the Heartless Talisman, perhaps someone would have tried to stop her from taking Chen Moxuan away. But now, everyone could only watch as she led him away. After all, this involved the master of Heartless Valley, and they dared not entertain any other thoughts.
Only the Elder in Black moved slightly, but after a moment of contemplation, he chose not to pursue them further. With one protagonist dead and the other having left, the arena quickly lost its excitement, and people began to disperse in small groups.
Even as they departed, they continued discussing the events of the day, expressing their disbelief. They had never expected that a duel could trigger such a series of events. It could be said that they hadn't witnessed such a lively scene in years, and everyone appeared extremely excited.
Chen Moxuan could feel himself being pulled along by someone, but all his energy was focused on battling the Cold and Ruthless Will that had invaded his mind. Thus, he was unable to perform any other unnecessary actions at that moment. He believed that even if Wu Shanshan took him away, his physical defenses would protect him from any ordinary attacks.
Moreover, Wu Shanshan might be taking him to meet the Heartless Valley Master, which was significant for him since he had been unsure how to approach the master until now. The will was incredibly dangerous; one misstep could leave him as an idiot or a vegetable.
Although the Cold and Ruthless Will was powerful, it was only a fleeting presence. While Chen Moxuan's will was somewhat weaker in comparison, it was continuously replenished due to being within his own body. Initially, his will was suppressed by the Cold and Ruthless Will. However, as he continuously replenished his own will and fought back with all his might, it began to grow stronger.
Under his persistent resistance, the Cold and Ruthless Will gradually diminished. This was where his advantage lay. Of course, he had to ensure that his will did not crumble under the pressure of the Cold and Ruthless Will to have a chance at becoming stronger.
He held on. Finally, after enduring countless assaults from the Cold and Ruthless Will, his own will grew powerful enough to stand toe-to-toe against it.
As time goes by, he believed that his will would eventually destroy the Cold and Ruthless Will, achieving victory in this battle of wills.
Wu Shanshan happily brought Chen Moxuan to the Ruthless Mansion. Just as they were about to enter, a man immediately blocked her path.
"Miss, you can go in, but this person cannot enter."
"Why can't he go in? He is the one I have chosen to marry."
"I still need to report this to the steward. Please wait a moment, Miss."
Although Wu Shanshan felt displeased, she understood that the guards were just doing their duty. Instead of causing a scene, she quietly observed Chen Moxuan again.
The more she looked at him, the more she felt that Chen Moxuan possessed a unique charm that others did not have, which captivated her. It was the first time in her life that she truly understood the phrase "a feast for the eyes."
Just then, an elderly woman with silver hair appeared at the entrance. She was Cui Po Po, the steward of Heartless Valley. When the Master of Heartless Valley was in seclusion or unavailable, she managed all matters within the estate.
Upon hearing that Wu Shanshan had brought back a man and intended to marry him, she hurried over. She knew that the Master had urged Wu Shanshan to find someone to marry, and she took this matter seriously.
Previously, she had scouted many handsome young men from Heartless Valley for Wu Shanshan, but unfortunately, none had caught her eye. There was nothing she could do about it.
Cui Po Po first glanced at Wu Shanshan and then noticed her gaze on Chen Moxuan. She realized that Wu Shanshan might have developed feelings this time.
Next, she looked at Chen Moxuan. Her first impression of him was that he was very handsome and possessed considerable strength. As a powerful individual herself, Cui Po Po could sense Chen Moxuan's physical prowess.
It seemed that Wu Shanshan had made a good choice this time; this person appeared promising. She decided to have someone investigate his background later to ensure there were no issues.
Of course, Cui Po Po would not simply agree to Wu Shanshan's choice of a man just because she said so. She needed to ensure everything was in order for Wu Shanshan!
"Bring him in first. There's no rush for the wedding. I know you're infatuated, but we still need to test him a bit," Wu Shanshan said. After all, marriage is a serious matter and should be approached with caution.
Cui Po Po replied, "You weren't saying that before. Back then, you couldn't wait for me to get married immediately. Now that I've finally found someone I want to marry, why are you being so hesitant?"
"I want to marry him today! I don't need all those complicated rituals!"
For some reason, even though she had used the Heartless Talisman on Chen Moxuan, Wu Shanshan felt an underlying sense of insecurity. She wanted to consummate their relationship as soon as possible! If Chen Moxuan were still conscious and heard her words, he would surely be frightened and flee.
"Women these days are quite bold," she thought. "To be so proactive!"
"I know you're anxious, Wu Shanshan, but this matter must be reported to the Valley Master. Since you’re so eager to get married, I’ll go inform the Valley Master and see what he says."
"It's not that I'm anxious; it's just that he's not an ordinary person. Do you know? He just killed Yang Zhentian in their duel with a single punch! I only brought him back using the Heartless Talisman."
"What?" Cui Po Po was stunned by Wu Shanshan's revelation. She was aware that Chen Moxuan had challenged Yang Zhentian, but she thought it was just another duel where Yang Zhentian would surely win.
However, she hadn’t taken it seriously because she believed Yang Zhentian would ultimately prevail. The fact that Chen Moxuan had killed Yang Zhentian and Wu Shanshan had immediately brought him back home was news she hadn’t yet heard.
"Are you serious? You're not joking with me, are you?"
"Of course I'm serious! Do you think I would joke about something like this?"
Cui Po Po's expression turned grave as the weight of the situation sank in.
