As the Valley Master of Heartless Valley, Wu Yinuo attracted many who wished to meet her. Some sought her favor, while others tried to curry her goodwill. However, she had no desire to cultivate these relationships; if possible, she would prefer not to hold the title of Valley Master at all. Yet, she had no choice—she was chosen by the will of the Rules Spirit and had to fulfill this role.
More often than not, she enjoyed tending to a variety of flowers in her backyard alone. Whenever the flowers she planted bloomed, a joy would overflow from deep within her heart. In those moments of solitude, she revealed her true self, but in front of others, she wore a veil that made her appear cold and indifferent. Only by maintaining such an image could she preserve the dignity of the valley.
Chen Moxuan understood this. He noticed a unique aura about Wu Yinuo, one that resembled an ethereal orchid in a secluded valley or the jade rabbit under the moon—qualities unmatched by anyone else. If he remembered correctly, after he fell into the battle of wills, it was Wu Shanshan who pulled him away. He wondered what the relationship was between Wu Yinuo and Wu Shanshan. The two bore a striking resemblance, undoubtedly indicating a close familial bond, yet Chen Moxuan could not discern whether they were mother and daughter or sisters.
Though Wu Yinuo appeared youthful, her cultivation level allowed her to maintain her youth and delay aging. "Wu Shanshan is my sister," she revealed. "But she doesn't know I'm her sister; she believes I have already died."
Wu Yinuo did not hide her relationship with Wu Shanshan. Until now, only Cui Po Po knew about it, but now Chen Moxuan was also aware. For some reason, she felt no urge to conceal this matter from him.
"You and Wu Shanshan seem quite young," Chen Moxuan voiced his curiosity, "but Heartless Valley has existed for an incredibly long time." He knew that Heartless Valley had been around for thousands of years, while the Wu sisters could not possibly be that old. As someone who had lived for over ten thousand years, he was quite adept at judging a person's age.
Wu Yinuo possessed a distinct youthful aura. "Though Heartless Valley has existed for ages," she replied, "I doubt anyone has told you that it has always been run by just one person."
I took over the position of the Heartless Valley Master about ten years ago.
Where did the previous Master go? And how do you ensure that outsiders believe that the Heartless Valley has always been led by a single person?
As for where the previous Master went, I cannot disclose that. After taking on this role, I swore the Great Oath, which prohibits me from discussing any matters related to this.
Regarding how we convince others that the Heartless Valley has always been led by one person, it involves our techniques and the Divine Weapon.
Wu Yinuo pulled a colored silk from her sleeve and draped it over her face. Instantly, her aura transformed completely. If before she appeared gentle as water, now she exuded an icy coldness, even her autumn-like eyes reflecting a chilling detachment.
This was the Ice Veil, an artifact mastered by every Valley Master. Though it seemed like just a veil, its power was immense, especially within the Heartless Valley. Moreover, every new Master of the Heartless Valley, regardless of their previous cultivation techniques, would transition to practicing the Ruthless and Heartless Technique!
Upon hearing the name Ruthless and Heartless Technique, Chen Moxuan immediately associated it with the technique known as Qian Qing Wan Yu Jue, which everyone in the Heartless Valley could cultivate. Was there a connection between these two? He voiced his confusion.
You have a sharp mind. After practicing Qian Qing Wan Yu Jue, one can amplify the emotions within their heart to better transform them into Emotional Connection. In contrast, the Ruthless and Heartless Technique requires one to gradually forget all emotions, achieving a state of complete detachment.
After ten years of cultivation, I have nearly erased all other feelings; the only emotion left is for Wu Shanshan. If you can marry her, then I can finally feel at ease and completely eliminate this attachment!
Chen Moxuan was taken aback. Marry? Me and Wu Shanshan? Didn’t I make it clear to her that I don’t like her and wouldn’t marry her?
Well, that’s not up to you. You might think I’m telling you all this for no reason; I hope you can understand me so that you will take good care of Wu Shanshan in the future, allowing me to rest easy.
Why should I understand you? You’ve abandoned your feelings for your sister to cultivate this ruthless technique for your position as Master, yet you want me to take care of her? Is there such twisted logic?
Sigh…
Wu Yinuo sighed softly.
I truly hope you can understand my position; I don’t want to fight with you. But if you don’t marry Wu Shanshan, then don’t blame me for what happens next.
I admit your strength is formidable and your willpower impressive; you've earned my respect. However, within the Heartless Valley, no one is my match. I hope you willingly marry Wu Shanshan and treat her well in the future!
"Don't be so self-righteous and pretentious! No one can force me, Chen Moxuan, not even you, Ruthless Valley!"
I initially thought you were gentle and reasonable, but I never expected you to have such an unreasonable side. If you can't let go of Wu Shanshan, then don't take on the role of the valley master, or stop trying to achieve perfection in the Ruthless and Heartless Technique. Why must you drag me into this?
The delicate balance between the two of us shattered in an instant.
Do you think I want to be the valley master? I have no attachment to power; I was chosen by the will of the Rules Spirit and had no choice but to take on this role!
I don’t want to perfect the Ruthless and Heartless Technique either, but if I don’t cultivate it, not only will I suffer, but Wu Shanshan will also face misfortune.
Often, once you embark on a certain path, you find yourself unable to turn back.
As Wu Yinuo spoke, complex emotions flickered in her eyes.
It was clear that her feelings were genuine.
Some people truly do not crave power; they just want to safeguard their little piece of land and live a leisurely life.
But sometimes, for various reasons, one is forced down a path they do not wish to tread, drifting further away from their true desires.
In that moment, Chen Moxuan understood Wu Yinuo's feelings. However, understanding is one thing; emotions are another. He would not compromise his principles because of it!
