Chapter - 223 The Hidden Loveless Valley (4) (1/2)

Ma Guangzou took a look at the bowl of tea, he saw that it was cold and had a few tea leaves floating on top; it was extremely bland to him and he snapped, ”Valley Master, you don't eat meat and you don't even drink tea, no wonder you look ill.”

The Valley Master did not move a muscle. He took a sip of his tea and said, ”The people of our valley have been vegetarians for hundreds of years.”

Ma Guangzou said, ”What's so good about being vegetarian. Does it make you live longer without aging?”

The Valley Master said, ”My ancestors have lived here since the Tang dynasty; since then, none of the descendants has ever dared to break the vegetarian code.”

Jinlun Fawang folded his arms and said, ”So this place was set up in the Tang dynasty and has lasted until now, that really is something.”

The Valley Master folded his arms and said, ”You're too kind.”

Xiaoxiang Zi suddenly spoke in a strange way, ”Did your ancestors ever see Royal Concubine Yang [1]?” His tone was extremely peculiar.

Nimoxing, Yin Kexi and the others were familiar with his voice after spending time with him, they were surprised when they heard this voice and all turned towards him. They were even more shocked when they saw his face, it had somehow has completely changed, his face had the appearance of a zombie before but now it looked even odder.

Fawang, Nimoxing and the others were slightly worried, ”So this person possesses such great internal energy, even his face changes. He's circulating his internal energy so he can immediately strike out; does he want to show the Valley Master a thing or two?” They all put their guards up when they thought about this.

The Valley Master replied, ”My ancestors did work in the Tang court as officials, when they saw what state the court had falling into under Yang Guozhong, they were furious and left to reside in a secluded place.”

Xiaoxiang Zi laughed, ”Your ancestors must have drunk the water that Royal Concubine Yang had washed her feet with.”

Everyone's face in the hall changed as soon as these words came out. It was a challenge to the Valley Master and he was going to make his move very soon.

Fawang and the others were surprised, thinking, ”This Xiaoxiang Zi is extremely crafty, he always lets other people go first in all matters, why has he volunteered to go first suddenly?”

The Valley Master ignored him and signaled to the old long bearded man. The old bearded man said clearly, ”Our Master has treated you with respect as guests, how can you say such things?”

Xiaoxiang Zi laughed and said in his strange manner, ”Your ancestor has definitely drunk the foot water of Royal Concubine Yang; if they haven't drunk it, I'll cut off my head for you.”

Ma Guangzou was surprised and asked, ”Brother Xiaoxiang, how do you know? Could it be that you drank some that day as well?”

Xiaoxiang Zi laughed, his voice changed again as he said, ”If they didn't drink the foot water and upset their stomachs, what other reason is there for them not to eat meat?”

Ma Guangzou clapped and laughed, he called out, ”Yes, yes, it must be for this reason.”

But Fawang and the others frowned, they all felt that Xiaoxiang Zi's words were going a bit too far; everyone has their own eating habits, how can you use it as a joke? Not mentioning the fact that the six of them were deep in this valley, the people of this valley were definitely not kind people; even if fists had to be raised, a backup plan should be made first.

The old bearded man could endure this no longer; he went to the middle of the hall and said, ”Mr. Xiaoxiang Zi, our valley has not offended you. If you're looking for a fight then please come forward.”
