Flower world, Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, and Jiangxiao Tower.

"Grandma Shancha, why is it so lively outside?" A young man in red asked calmly, leaning against the window, with no trace of sadness or joy on his face.

Grandma Shancha put down the teacup in her hand, and a kind smile appeared on her old face: "Young Master, in half a month, the annual Flower God Festival will be held in Wanhua Valley. All flower tribes are actively preparing, so of course it will be lively!"

"Is the Flower Goddess Festival coming again?" The young man in red had calm eyes, but a ripple was rising in his heart.

"Young Master, are we still going to give up the Flower Goddess Festival this year?" Grandma Camellia asked softly, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

The young man in red was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Grandma Shancha, why do you think I wear a mask?"

"Young Master wears a mask to hide his identity so as not to be disturbed by the outside world."

Granny Shancha naturally knew the reason, but she still answered like this because she really didn't want to open up the boy's scars.

"Wrong." The red-clothed boy shook his head, "I put on the mask because I was afraid."

"Afraid?" Grandma Shancha looked at him with a distressed face.

"I'm afraid that my mother will think of that man when she sees my face. She hates me just as much as she hates him." The young man in red had a trembling voice, as if he was trying his best to suppress the pain in his heart.

When Grandma Shancha heard this, her heart ached. She knew who the "that person" the young man in red was talking about, and she also understood why he wore a mask.

She sighed softly and stroked the black hair of the young man in red: "Young Master, you are wrong. There is no mother in this world who does not love her own children."

"The Valley Master doesn't hate you, she just... hasn't gotten over the past. But that doesn't mean she doesn't love you or care about you."

"Grandma Shancha, you have been saying this for decades. You don't have to comfort me anymore." The young man in red smiled sadly, "I know, I have always known. Mother hates that man, and she hates me too."

“Young Master, how can you say that about yourself?” Grandma Shancha’s eyes were filled with heartache, “Valley Master…”

The young man in red waved his hand, interrupting Grandma Shancha's words: "Grandma, no need to say more. I'm used to it. I'll consider the matter of the Flower Goddess Festival. You go down first."

Granny Shancha knew that the young man in red was in a low mood at the moment, so she said no more and just quietly retreated.

The young man in red was the only one left in the room. He stood quietly in front of the window, looking at the colorful flowers in the Wanhua Valley outside the window, but his heart was desolate.

The Flower Goddess Festival is an annual event in the Valley of Flowers.

According to legend, the goddess of flowers is the ancestor of all flowers. She gave birth to all the flowers in the world, allowing them to have their own life and consciousness, and created a branch of the demon race - the elves.

The annual Flower Goddess Festival is to commemorate the gift of the Flower Goddess, and it is also an important moment for Jiu Luoshu, the owner of Wanhua Valley, to choose the successor.

She wanted to pass on the highest skill of Wanhua Valley, "Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Heart Sutra", to her most outstanding disciple.

This Heart Sutra was passed down by Jiu Luoshu's master. It is said that if a great being can cultivate it to perfection, he or she can transform into Xuannv herself when ascending to the upper realm, take charge of the nine heavenly galaxies, and dominate the three realms.

Therefore, this "Heart Sutra of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady" became a treasure that the demon world, the underworld, and the devil world all desired to obtain.

The young man in red is named Jiuluo Nanxing. He is Jiuluo Shu’s only son, but he is also a thorn in her heart.

Jiu Luoshu, a noble and mysterious woman. She has a peerless appearance, is cold and aloof, and seems to not belong to this world. Her name is the pride of the entire Wanhua Valley and the dream of everyone.

However, no one knew that beneath Jiu Luoshu's cold appearance, there was a broken heart.

One hundred years ago, Jiu Luoshu once deeply loved a man from the underworld. He had a smile as gentle as jade and clear eyes that seemed to be able to see through the loneliness in her heart.

However, the man approached her with a purpose. In order to obtain the "Heart Sutra of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman", he used all his efforts to deceive Jiu Luoshu and made her fall in love with him.

After Jiu Luoshu discovered his true identity, he attacked her mercilessly and tried to take the Heart Sutra by force.

That battle brought unprecedented crisis to Wanhua Valley. Most of the tribesmen in the valley were killed or injured. Jiu Luoshu was also seriously injured. She was forced to seal the Heart Sutra and use her remaining strength to seal the man in the forbidden area in the valley.

Not long after, Jiuluo Shu gave birth to the man's child - Jiuluo Nanxing.

Jiu Luoshu has mixed feelings towards this child.

She hated the man and the child, because Jiuluo Nanxing's existence reminded her of her unbearable past at all times.

Remind her how stupid she was to be deceived by that man's sweet words.

Therefore, Jiu Luoshu has been extremely indifferent to Jiu Luonanxing since childhood, and even a little disgusted with her.

She gave birth to Jiuluo Nanxing only out of a mother's instinct, but she could not accept that the child had any connection with that man.

She felt sickened by Jiuluo Nanxing's true form, which was a bloody and evil-smelling Lycoris radiata, also known as the Flower of the Underworld, a flower that was said to grow on the Road to the Underworld.

It was the product of the union of Jiu Luoshu, the Holy Lotus of Tianchi, and the man from the underworld. It was also the greatest shame of her life.

Therefore, Jiuluo Shu abandoned Jiuluo Nanxing in Jiangxiao Tower when she was young, and she was raised by Grandma Shancha, who never cared about her.

She didn't allow anyone to mention that person's name, and she didn't want to see her son's face that looked like that person.

Therefore, Jiuluo Nanxing could only wear a mask to cover up the face that made her mother disgusted.

Under the mask, Jiuluo Nanxing has eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like morning stars, and lips like cinnabar. She is as elegant as a fairy, as charming as a flower, and makes people's hearts flutter.

If it weren't for this face, if it weren't for the fact that he was that person's bloodline, Jiuluo Nanxing wouldn't have suffered his mother's cold stare and contempt.

He often told himself in his heart that he didn't care about his mother's indifference or the ridicule of the world. He only hoped to see a smile from his mother and get a little love from her.

However, no matter how hard he tried, no matter how well he did, his mother always treated him coldly, as if he was a stranger.

The day of the Flower Goddess Festival is getting closer, and the entire Wanhua Valley is immersed in laughter and joy.

Only Jiuluo Nanxing was standing alone in front of the window of Jiangxiao Tower, gazing into the distance, with a desolate heart.

"Young Master, what are you thinking about?" Grandma Shancha asked softly, her kind face full of worry.

Jiuluo Nanxing turned her head and smiled: "Grandma Shancha, I'm thinking about what gift I should give to my mother for this year's Flower God Festival."

"Young Master's filial piety to the Valley Master is witnessed by everyone in the valley." Grandma Shancha said, "Your love and respect for the Valley Master far surpass those who claim to love her."

"Grandma Shancha, you are coaxing me again." Jiuluo Nanxing smiled faintly, "Mother has never looked at me straight in the eye, how can she feel it?"

“Young Master, you have to know that a three-foot-thick ice does not form overnight. The knot in the Valley Master’s heart is not so easy to untie.” Grandma Shancha comforted.

"I know." Jiuluo Nanxing nodded, "I will do my best. Grandma Shancha, I have decided that I will participate in the Flower Goddess Festival this year."

"Young Master, have you really decided?" Granny Shancha was a little surprised.

Although Jiuluo Nanxing is Jiuluo Shu's son, he is not a true disciple of Wanhua Valley after all. He has never practiced any of the Wanhua Valley's skills, nor has he been exposed to the valley's secrets.

Therefore, Jiuluo Nanxing has always been excluded from the core affairs of Wanhua Valley.

Even important events like the Flower Goddess Festival had never involved him.

Even if the Valley Master allows the young master to participate in the Flower God Festival this time, how easy will it be to challenge other disciples in the valley and obtain the qualification of successor?

"Yes, I've decided." Jiuluo Nanxing said firmly, "I want to prove to my mother that I can also be her pride."

"But, young master, you..." Grandma Shancha hesitated to speak.

"Granny, I know what you are going to say." Jiuluo Nanxing interrupted with a smile, "You want to say that I have not practiced any martial arts, and I am not a disciple of the valley, right?"

Granny Camellia nodded, her eyes full of worry.

"Don't worry, mother-in-law. I have my support." Jiuluo Nanxing smiled mysteriously, "I will definitely win this competition."
