The maidservant beside the bee master was obviously very pretty and was an extremely beautiful woman.

Although he hasn't grown up yet, he is not much different from her.

This made Wang Ruyi stop talking about the words that he had prepared in his heart.

Even the maids around him are so beautiful, how stunningly beautiful must his wife be?

Thinking of this, Wang Ruyi's heart sank.

If I want to save my father and brother, I need to find another way.

If I exchange words directly, it might lead to his contempt and other dissatisfaction.

Soon, Wang Ruyi came to his senses.

Looking up at Qingfeng Li, who was raising his hand, he met his gaze and said sternly without any fear,

"Peak Master, with the methods you used today inside and outside Yangzhou City, you are definitely able to intimidate those in Yangzhou who have designs on you. Why would you continue to cause slaughter and kill innocent people?"

"I've heard that Qingfeng Village has strict discipline. Not only do they never oppress the people, but they often provide relief to those in need and never kill innocent people."

Having said that, Wang Ruyi raised his head slightly and glanced at Qingfeng Li. Seeing that he showed no dissatisfaction or expression, he continued,

"The Peak Master is wise and powerful, and he is very observant. He naturally knows that my father was simply deceived by the prefect."

"But the people do not fight against the officials. Father did not know the reason, and he could not refuse the prefect's request, so he had no choice but to comply."

As he spoke, Wang Ruyi changed the subject and looked at Qingfeng Li.

"And Peak Master, you have lofty ambitions and a heart as vast as the mountains and rivers. You will certainly not kill innocent people. Please consider that my father is unaware of this and let my family go!"

"My father has been working in Yangzhou for many years and has considerable experience. If he could be of use to the Peak Master, he would certainly give his all. Even if this matter were to become known, it would be a testament to your magnanimity and clear sense of reward and punishment."

After saying that, Wang Ruyi looked at Qingfeng Li with anticipation.

Qingfeng Li narrowed his eyes slightly.

I thought to myself, what a smart woman!

His words were clear and logical, and he was able to speak eloquently even in front of a bandit leader like him whose hands were stained with blood.

What he said even made Li Qingfeng feel that if he killed their whole family, it would really damage his reputation.

This feeling not only made Li Qingfeng look up to Wang Ruyi.

I originally thought that she was just beautiful and had a little color.

But I never thought that she was actually such an intelligent woman.

My mind turned and I wanted to praise this girl's intelligence again.

Li Qingfeng looked at Wang Ruyi and said calmly,

"Even if what you said makes sense, why should this Peak Master let them go?"

"I don't know if your father, brother, and others will harbor resentment towards this Peak Master after I let them go."

"What if one day in the future you stab me in the back? Wouldn't I be utterly devastated? Remember, I raided your Wang family and confiscated all your decades of savings!"

Having said this, Qingfeng Li smiled faintly and said,

"Instead of using that so-called illusory benevolence and righteousness, this Peak Master would rather cut the weeds and eradicate them completely!"

"Wouldn't it be more convenient to avoid hidden arrows shot from nowhere in the future?"

"After all, I am a bandit!"

Wang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat, knowing that Li Qingfeng was reminding her not to forget his identity.

Bandits have no morals or righteousness at all!

Then, without caring about anything else, he hurriedly said to Qingfeng Li anxiously,

"No, Peak Master! I promise you, what you said will never happen!"

"Peak Master, your heart is as broad as the sun and moon in the sky, swallowing up the stars..."

Before she could finish her words, Qingfeng Li raised his hand to interrupt Wang Ruyi and looked at her.

"Promise? You're just a little girl, how can you guarantee that?"

"I……"

Wang Ruyi's words faltered.

He immediately gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground.

"Ruyi is the only daughter in the family. Although she looks frail, she is willing to serve the Peak Master for the rest of her life. From now on, our Wang family will be completely loyal to the Peak Master!"
