Zongwu: Yue Lao System, grab Huang Rong

Can Li Yu refuse her?

Of course not.

Because Li Yu didn't want to create any rift between the two of them.

The final result was that Li Yu rescued Ren Woxing from Zhu Wusi and reunited them as father and daughter.

However, Ren Woxing was an ambitious and powerful person. Dongfang Bubai's rebellion and conspiracy in the past was an irreconcilable hatred. Now that he has been promoted to a grandmaster, his strength has skyrocketed and he has become more conceited. How could he not avenge his previous shame?

He will go to Blackwood Cliff to kill Dongfang Bubai, take back everything he once had, and become his "Grand Master of Literature, Martial Arts and Virtue" again.

Ren Yingying will go with them then.

Because Ren Yingying was a filial daughter, she had been separated from her father for more than ten years and it was rare for them to reunite, so she naturally felt reluctant to part with him.

What's more, seizing power is no trivial matter, and Dongfang Bubai is notorious, so she can't be at ease and must go along to help.

Li Yu knew very well that Ren Woxing was no match for Dongfang Bubai, even if he was a grandmaster. Ren Yingying would definitely take action at that time.

Ren Yingying is clever and her martial arts skills are far superior to before. If she joins forces with us, Dongfang Bubai will inevitably be defeated.

But what happens after seizing power?

Ren Woxing has been practicing for his entire life and is only at the early stage of Grandmaster. How old is his daughter, but she is two small realms higher than him? How can he feel balanced?

Ren Woxing will definitely ask about it.

When he knew that his daughter had received so many benefits from Li Yu, could he still sit still?

And Li Yu is interested in Ren Yingying. If he doesn't take this opportunity to ask for a high price, will Ren Woxing still be Ren Woxing?

When the time comes, he will want elixirs, all kinds of magical skills, and even people!

Li Yu clearly remembered how Ren Woxing used Ren Yingying to force Linghu Chong to work for him in the original novel.

And Linghu Chong was the benefactor who rescued him from Meizhuang!

If the incident happens again, what should Li Yu do in the face of Ren Woxing's difficulties?

Promise him, give him elixirs, teach him magical skills, and even work for him?

Then Ren Woxing will inevitably grow into a great evil tyrant in the martial arts world. I don't know how many people will become victims in the process of realizing his ambitions, and the entire Ming Dynasty will be in chaos.

This is definitely not what Li Yu wants to see.

Aiding and aiding the evil is against one's conscience.

But if he refuses, Ren Woxing will definitely use all means to prevent Ren Yingying from being with him. What will Li Yu do then?

Take Ren Yingying away by force?

What if Ren Woxing seizes upon Ren Yingying's filial piety and shamelessly threatens her with death?

Give up Ren Yingying?

Less likely!

Li Yu was very fond of this most beautiful woman with a "sophisticated mind and clever strategies".

Needless to say, Ren Yingying's appearance is no worse than Huang Rong and Zhao Min, and her personality is also likable.

Although she was born into the notorious Sun and Moon Sect and was honored as the "Saint Lady", she did not have the cruelty and viciousness of those in the Demon Sect.

Of course, Ren Yingying does have a ruthless side, but she is a saint, and a saint of a demonic sect like the Sun and Moon Sect.

If you have kindness but no authority, how can you win the support of the people?

You can't expect her to be an innocent little white flower who knows nothing about the world, right?

Therefore, Li Yu had included Ren Yingying in his harem strategy list a long time ago.

Moreover, he will not allow anyone to stand in his way.

Including Ren Woxing.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Li Yu finally made a decision.

Since the problem cannot be solved, then solve the person who raised the problem, and solve the person who raised the problem in advance before he raises the problem.

In this way, all problems will be solved.

Although he had not met Ren Yingying when he made this decision, and subsequent developments were somewhat different from what he had expected, they were generally the same, and the problems that should arise could not be avoided.

After all, Ren Woxing's personality is there and will never change.

So Li Yu could only ask Ren Woxing to die.

Li Yu admitted that this was selfish, but he did not regret it. Besides, he was never a "perfect man", so isn't it normal to be a little selfish?

"Your daughter, I raised her, loved her, and protected her. You can go with peace of mind."

Li Yu said something silently in his heart, suppressing the thought of guilt.

……

When Ren Yingying woke up and opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Li Yu standing by her bed. A great sadness and grievance involuntarily surged into her heart.

She sat up suddenly, and couldn't help but throw herself into Li Yu's arms, sobbing loudly.

"Daddy is dead, Yingying... Yingying doesn't have a dad anymore... Woo woo..."

Ren Yingying looked grief-stricken and lay on Li Yu crying inconsolably.

Tears streamed down her jade-white cheeks like strings of beads, and her delicate body trembled constantly. It was obvious that she was extremely sad and could not control herself.

Li Yu held her in his arms, soft and fragrant, but he had no romantic thoughts. He held her in his arms, gently patted her back, and comforted her with kind words.

"Okay, okay, don't cry. Your father is gone, but I'm still here, right?"

"I'll take care of you from now on, okay? You're not alone, I'll always be with you."

His original intention was to help Ren Yingying ease her grief, but he didn't expect that it would be better if he didn't say anything. Instead, after comforting her, Ren Yingying cried even harder.

Li Yu: "..."

He was suddenly at a loss and quickly shut up, but his hands kept moving, patting Ren Yingying's back.

It is both a comfort and a reminder to Ren Yingying that he is still there.

After a long while, Ren Yingying's emotions finally stabilized a little. Realizing her own loss of composure, she began to struggle gently in Li Yu's arms.

Li Yu did not force her to stay and let her go.

Ren Yingying supported herself with her hands, moved half a body length back slightly, lowered her head, and looked away, not daring to look at Li Yu's expression.

A girl's shyness filled her chest, but was soon diluted by a wave of sadness. Ren Yingying raised her head, looked at Li Yu and said, "Brother Li, you already knew my identity, didn't you?"

Li Yu nodded truthfully.

Ren Yingying asked again, "Then do you also know that I approached you intentionally in the beginning, but I actually had other motives?"

Li Yu's eyes flashed, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face. Then he shook his head: "I don't know about that. But no matter why you came, I won't blame you."

"why?"

"Unless the relationship we've had lately is fake."

Ren Yingying was stunned when she heard this, and her pale face flushed slightly.

Then, she sighed again: "Brother Li treats me so well, and I'm not a heartless person. How could I... How could I... Well, anyway, thank you very much."

Li Yu smiled and said, "So what did you originally want to do with me?"

Ren Yingying felt a bitter taste in her mouth when she heard this, and said sadly, "That's the news I got. My father was imprisoned by Dongfang Bubai in Plum Manor in West Lake."

"I want to rescue my father, but the four friends of Plum Manor are very powerful martial artists. With me and the few confidants my father left behind, there is no guarantee that we can rescue him safely."

"... I wanted to ask you for help, but I knew you wouldn't agree if I asked you rashly. After all, my father...my father..."

"Ah, you must dislike him. You're lucky you didn't kill him, let alone rescue him from trouble."

"So I can only find a way to get close to you and become friends with you first."

"After some time, when the time is right, I'll ask you to help me in the name of helping my friend's father and daughter. I think you won't refuse."

"But I didn't expect that you would actually teach me the Beiming Divine Art and help me improve my cultivation to the late Grandmaster stage. I... I am really grateful to you."

“It was a pleasant surprise.”

"I originally wanted to rescue my father immediately. After all, he's been imprisoned for over a decade and must be suffering. The sooner I rescue him, the more comfortable he'll be and the less suffering he'll endure."

"But you're right, my strength has improved too quickly."

"Although the Beiming Divine Art is incredibly powerful and has no hidden dangers even if mastered quickly, I cannot fully control this power."

"To be on the safe side, I followed your advice and planned to learn one or two powerful martial arts before going to West Lake. But I didn't expect... I didn't expect..."

At this point, the bitterness in Ren Yingying's heart was beyond words.

Just a little bit, just a little bit!

He thought that he would be able to return after completing his studies and rescue his father in a short while, but for some reason, his father escaped ahead of time.

This would have been a good thing, but if Ren Woxing went up the Black Wood Cliff, it would have been the worst possible thing.

If he could wait a few days, with the help of Ren Yingying, who had great magical powers, how could Ren Woxing die at the Black Wood Cliff?

It was also her own fault. In order to prevent Li Yu from getting suspicious, she had completely cut off contact with her subordinates (Liao Nuo) for these days. Even if Lu Zhu Weng and the others wanted to inform her, they had no way to do so.

Otherwise, how could she not even know about such a major event as the counterattack on Blackwood Cliff?

Now, she can only hear the bad news about her father from other people, but she has magical powers but is unable to save him.

Filled with remorse and self-blame, Ren Yingying, who was already suffering from the pain of losing her father, became even more depressed.

Li Yu pretended to be surprised and continued, "But Ren Woxing is no longer in West Lake Plum Manor. He was rescued many years ago."

"what?!"

Ren Yingying was so shocked that she didn't even care about being sad. She opened her mouth slightly and looked at Li Yu in surprise: "You...are you telling the truth?"

Li Yu said with certainty: "As far as I know, your father was rescued by the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis Zhu Wusi in the third year of his imprisonment at the bottom of West Lake."

"For the next ten years, he has been working for Zhu Wushi, so the information you gathered is only one part, and the other part is missing."

"Ten years... ten years..." Ren Yingying murmured absentmindedly, "But after all these years, he hasn't even come to see me. Doesn't he... doesn't he know how much I miss him?"

Li Yu thought for a moment and said, "It should be because of the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis."
