Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 484 Trapped in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers for 5 Years?

So we rushed to Songxiang Garden in Lizhou. The manager of Songxiang Garden later informed Young Master Yu Mo, and then Yu Mo brought us here to find you.

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"So, you met my father six years ago, but he didn't recognize you? Was he wearing a mask at the time?"

Gu Qingyue, being more mentally resilient, immediately calmed down and began to press for details.

"A mask? No, he was digging up a strange rock, about the size of a palm. Oh, right, I clearly remember he had a scar on the web of his right hand, very noticeable..."

An hour later, Yu Mo took Zhang Xubai and Zhang Qingxuan to rest.

For a long while, you could hear a pin drop in the main hall.

No one spoke.

“Ah Yue is right, your intuition is right, that person wearing the mask should be your father!” Mu Yun Chu broke the silence.

He never expected that General Gu, who had been missing for fifteen years, would be trapped in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers and have lost his memory!

No one expected it!

"I need to tell my third brother as soon as possible!" Gu Yuanen became agitated again. His third brother, Gu Yuanming, was probably still on the road with the delegation and had not yet reached Qihe Town.

After all, they took shortcuts and traveled light, so they were much faster than them.

"Oh, right, and my grandfather and mother too!" Gu Yuanen said, standing up and turning to walk outside.

This time, Gu Qingyue did not stop her.

Her feelings at that moment were very complicated.

Although she wasn't the original owner, she has now become the original owner.

She is Gu Changling's youngest daughter.

She couldn't turn a blind eye to her father's life or death.

Moreover, it's such a momentous event as the resurrection of someone who had been 'dead' for many years.

The impact was immense!

Neither the grandfather nor the brothers who did not believe that their father had died could have imagined that their father had lost his memory and was trapped in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers.

And so we stayed in Songzhou City of Nanzhao, a place bustling with people.

She took several deep breaths, and her emotions gradually calmed down.

"Mu Yun Chu, I want to go to Wan Hua Valley again to pick up my father," Gu Qing Yue said with a solemn and serious expression.

“Ah Yue, I understand how you feel, but I suggest that now that we’re here, if we could go to the Valley of Immortals and deal with the Holy Maiden first, wouldn’t it make things much easier to receive General Gu?”

Mu Yun Chu raised her hand and grasped Gu Qing Yue's small hand, her expression becoming even more solemn.

Looking at Mu Yun Chu's sincere eyes and cautious expression, Gu Qing Yue thought for a moment, "But I'm worried about whether he'll be in danger. After all, he was injured that day."

Thinking back to the day they chased after their father, forcing him to intervene and suffering internal injuries, Gu Qingyue felt a pang of regret.

Mu Yun Chu nodded. "But have you ever thought about it? General Gu's skills are superb, almost reaching the level of a grandmaster. Why hasn't he left Wan Hua Valley, but has been trapped there for so many years? Is it just because he has amnesia?"

"Yes, that young princess said he didn't like the Holy Maiden at all, so why has he stayed there for more than ten years?"

As someone who was not involved, Qin Fang saw things more clearly.

After listening to their analysis, Gu Qingyue suddenly had a sudden realization!

Yes! If Father didn't fall in love with the Holy Maiden, then why has he stayed in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers for over a decade without leaving?

So what if I have amnesia?

Could he not go to another place, to Nanzhao, to Western Jin, to Great Chu... or any other place, to search for the mystery of his identity and origins?

She remembered that after Mu Yun Chu fought with him that day, he sent them a message, which showed that he disliked the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers and wanted to get rid of the Holy Maiden.

Then why not leave? With his skills?

Unless... there's no way to leave!

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyue calmed down.

"Are you saying that he might be unable to leave the Valley of a Thousand Flowers for some reason?"

She deduced that the despicable saintess must have used some trick to prevent her father from leaving, and since he didn't remember his identity, therefore...

“It’s highly likely, so I speculate that General Gu is still near Wanhua Valley. We’ve taken down Wanhua Valley and killed so many people, so the Holy Maiden might move him away soon,” Mu Yun Chu said, her eyes calm and deep.

He knew in his heart that all signs indicated that the saintess would not give up on General Gu.

Gu Qingyue's heart stirred slightly. If they were to be moved, where would they be?

Fairy Valley!!

"We'll set off immediately."

Despite her exhaustion from the long ride, Gu Qingyue was determined to get to the Valley of Immortals immediately and find a way to get rid of that Holy Maiden!

In particular, we need to figure out how she kept her father trapped for so long.

So far, if their guesses are all correct, and if the masked man is indeed their father, Gu Changling.

So, whether the Holy Maiden sent people or colluded with Prince An, the reason she repeatedly tried to harm Qin Shi and capture him was most likely because of her unrequited love for her father!

She doesn't understand women's minds perfectly, but she does understand some of them. Women's possessiveness is terrifying!

If there is a man who loves but cannot be loved in return, then everything around him can become an enemy!

When a woman goes crazy...

Thinking about this, she became even more anxious.

Unexpectedly, her arm was grabbed by Mu Yun Chu.

“You need to rest for the night. We’ll go into the mountains tomorrow,” Mu Yun Chu said, her tone leaving no room for argument.

“But-----” Gu Qingyue wanted to retort.

“You are the most important person to me,” he said, and without waiting for Gu Qingyue’s hesitation, he pulled her arm and quickly left the main hall and returned to their room.

Qin Fang and Feng Shuyan were left behind, along with Xiao Nian, who had been curiously observing everyone since she sat in the flower hall.

The three remained silent for a moment, and then got up and went back to their rooms.

In the main room of the courtyard, Gu Qingyue and Mu Yun Chu sat facing each other.

She shared her speculations with Mu Yun Chu.

Mu Yun Chu also agreed with her idea. In fact, this point was already very clear. Otherwise, what reason would the Holy Maiden have to harm Qin Shi and Gu Qing Yue?

"Do you think Father... will he go to the Valley of Immortals?" Gu Qingyue asked.

Looking at the little girl's tired and worried face, Mu Yun Chu felt a pang of heartache and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly. In the next instant, he scooped her up in his arms.

Gu Qingyue did not struggle; she obediently wrapped her arms around Mu Yun Chu's neck and leaned against him.

She felt that the man's embrace was so warm and reliable at that moment, and she thought that it would be good to lean on him like this for the rest of her life.

"Sweetie, go to sleep first. Don't think about anything. We will definitely be able to rescue General Gu safely." Mu Yun Chu put Gu Qing Yue on the bed and touched her little face. At this moment, she felt extremely heartbroken.

"Ha... You keep mentioning General Gu, have you ever considered that he's your... future father-in-law?"

Gu Qingyue felt Mu Yun Chu's gentle caress and looked at his worried eyes. She changed the subject, wanting to tease him.

Mu Yun Chu was taken aback. Yes, that was his father-in-law!
