Cui Yu, Cui Zhaoren's younger brother from the same mother.
Cui Zhaoren's death was a heavy loss to the Cui family.
However, if one were to ask who hated Li Muyang the most, it would be Cui Yu's branch...
Cui Zhaoren's cultivation base was profound, his strength was valiant, and he was well-versed in the way of politics. He was proud of his youth and had become a confidant of the Emperor at an early age. He was a young talent with limitless development in his official career.
Cui Yu, on the other hand, was fond of drinking and was good at poetry. She had a good reputation in Tiandu and was deeply loved by the literati. She was a celebrity in the brothel and a frequent guest at major banquets.
Cui Yu had the wild and unrestrained character of a literati. After drinking, she often said and did things that were out of line.
For example, now, she originally wanted to invite the Song family's Third Young Master Song Tao to drink, but she did not expect to run into the murderer of her brother Cui Zhaoren... sister.
After Li Shinian was brought to Tiandu by the Lu Family, Cui Yu had been thinking about revenge and had sent people to follow her from afar several times.
It was just that the Lu Residence was extremely concerned about the safety of this girl. When Li Shinian went out, there were always experts protecting her. On the other hand, the Cui Family didn't pay much attention to Cui Zhaoren's revenge. They didn't send more powerful people to help them. Thinking about it, it was impossible for a group of servants and a few subordinates to kill her or stab her …
However, after several encounters, Cui Yu was very familiar with Li Shinian's face. He recognized her the moment he saw her.
"If I don't kill this person, it will be difficult to relieve the hatred in my heart." Cui Yu's eyes were blood red, staring unblinkingly at Li Shinian and shouted.
"Kacha."
Cui Yu's fingers squeezed hard, breaking the wine glass in her hand into pieces. The wine dripped through the gaps between her fingers.
"Cui Yu." Song Tao's face was slightly cold as he shouted, "This is an elegant gathering, we gather to do elegant things. We only talk about the scenery, not about hatred and interests. What did you do just now? "
"Third Young Master …" Cui Yu was unconvinced and retorted, "Elegant gatherings are for the sake of elegance, but what if there are indecent people? This person is the daughter of a servant, the sister of the murderer. How can such a person be qualified to attend our gathering? Is Third Young Master not afraid of lowering the style of this Still Water Dew and ruining the reputation of 'Tiandu's First Elegant Interest'? "
After hearing Cui Yu's words, those who were on good terms with Cui Yu or had business dealings with the Cui family immediately voiced their agreement.
"That's right, Third Young Master. Everyone's gathering is to drink and have fun. Why do you have to invite such a boring person?" A young master dressed in black said aloud.
"Third Brother, if you despise us for being vulgar, then I have a lot of talented and beautiful young ladies by my side. Why did you invite the daughter of a maidservant? In this way, we sisters are in a dilemma. Should we address her as sisters? Or are you going to ignore her and pretend not to see her? "A woman dressed in plain clothes from a prestigious family said with a sharp voice. Normally, they could put on an act. However, Song Tao had dragged a maidservant's daughter in, which made their expressions turn ugly.
"Third Young Master, be careful. Why do you have to hurt the harmony for a … unimportant person …"
※ ※ ※
Li Shinian's face was gloomy.
All along, she had a clear understanding of her identity and status.
She also knew in her heart that those pampered and arrogant young masters and young ladies of Tiandu who mocked and ridiculed her, insulted and attacked her. It was impossible for them to accept her gathering and having fun in the same circle as them.
It was just that, when the facts were laid out in front of her, she still felt a chill in her body and mind … Why?
However, at this moment, she was glad that she had come to this elegant gathering.
You can see the faces of these people more clearly, and you have a deeper understanding of the viciousness of these people … Only then can you really regard them as your mortal enemy.
The blade can't scrape it away, and time can't erase it.
Otherwise, you will occasionally naively believe in the beauty of human nature.
Cui Xiaoxin's eyes were equally cold.
Her good friend was so despised and belittled, how could she still have a good face?
However, she did not speak immediately.
Instead, she fixed her gaze on Song Tao, who had invited Li Shinian to attend the elegant gathering.
You're the one who invited him. Don't tell me you invited him just to be criticized by others?
Song Tao's face was as gloomy as water, raising his eyes to look around, before he said in a low voice: "Just because I admire Miss Shinian's noble character and bright personality, so I specially invited her to attend tonight's gathering — — Gentlemen, why? Why? "
"Third elder brother, I am lustful and fond of wine, but I am selfless." Cui Yu stiffened her neck and said: "I have always admired Third elder brother's character, admired Third elder brother's talent — — Third elder brother and I have never had any personal grudges, not even a quarrel."
"I was presumptuous tonight, just to expel the sister of the enemy who killed my brother out of this Still water dew. Otherwise, how can I feel at ease? My brother who died tragically will not be able to rest in peace — — Third elder brother, please forgive me for being rude, tomorrow morning, I will go to Third elder brother's door to ask for forgiveness. "
"We are willing to ask for forgiveness." The other people shouted in unison.
Everyone was silent.
Everyone was waiting for the verdict of Song Tao, the organizer of the elegant gathering.
"Clap clap clap — —"
Li Shinian gently clapped her hands.
The clear and bright applause spread throughout the small building in the empty night, flying towards the more distant riverbank jungle.
Everyone stared at her in bewilderment. Is this girl crazy?
Everyone is scolding you, chasing you away, why are you clapping?
Cui Yu's eyes turned cold, sneering: "What? The servant's daughter also thinks what we said is right. You finally realised your mistake, so you're applauding us, right? "
"What a group of pitiful and sad people." Li Shinian said with a cold smile on her face. "This is the elite of West Wind? This is the future of the Kingdom? If that's the case, then it really makes me, a girl from a small town in Jiangnan, extremely disappointed. "
"What are you talking about?"
"Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to be disappointed for us? "
"Summer insects cannot talk about ice, what is there to say to an ignorant girl? Just drive her out. Besides, I don't think a commoner girl who has not read a few books has any talent to show. "
※ ※ ※
Li Shinian raised her head, looking at the crowd with a mocking expression. "Do you hate my brother? Hate my brother for killing Cui Zhaoren — — hate my brother for killing your kind. You're shocked, you're angry, but there's nothing you can do. "
Li Shinian stared at Cui Yu and asked aloud: "On Brother's way to school, your Cui family should have sent a lot of people to kill him, right? But, again and again, you suffered crushing defeats. Batches and batches of people were sent to their deaths. Only then did you realize that the elite soldiers and generals you relied on, the wealth and power you were so proud of, could not do anything to a small … commonly-clothed young man who came from a small town in Jiangnan like me. "
"You're shocked by his strength, jealous of his excellence, but powerless against your hatred — — you can't do anything. You can only watch him enter the Starry Sky, and can only hear him again and again making his name known throughout the Divine continent. "
"The more outstanding he is, the more it shows your incompetence. The more powerful he is, the more timid you are. You can't do anything to him, but there's no way to vent the anger in your heart. Coincidentally, I came to Tiandu at this time, the daughter of a servant — — has no power and influence, isn't she the best target for revenge? "
Li Shinian stared disdainfully at Cui Yu. "Young Master, if I remember correctly, this isn't the first time we've met, right? You repeatedly met me, the daughter of a servant, and sent people to follow me countless times. It's nothing more than to avenge your brother — — to kill a weak girl like me, right? "
"Again and again, why haven't you made a move until now? If you had ordered people to kill me earlier, why would I have been invited by Third Young Master to participate in the Still Water Dew Gathering? Why would you shed all pretense of cordiality and lose your scholarly demeanor to quarrel with me, the daughter of a servant? "
"Your Cui family can't kill my brother, you can't even do anything to a weak girl like me — — tell me, what else can you do?"
Li Shinian reached into his bosom and took out a dagger inlaid with precious jade.
Someone exclaimed, "Xiaoxin."
Some people retreated, and some people stood in front of Li Shinian, "What do you want to do?"
"Shinian — —" Cui Xiaoxin took Li Shinian's hand. She knew her good friend's temper, if she stabbed the people here with a knife, the Lu Family most likely would not be able to protect her.
"Miss Shinian — —" Song Tao also spoke out to stop her. If someone were to be killed in this Still Water Dew Gathering, it would have a bad impact on his reputation.
Clang!
Li Shinian pulled out the scabbard and handed the sharp blade to Cui Yu. "Come, I'll give you another chance. You're not going to avenge your brother, are you? Didn't you say it's hard to quell the hatred in your heart if you don't kill me? "
"Take this, take this knife — —" Li Shinian untied the ribbon around his neck, lifted the Fire Fox's leather coat, and pointed to his heart. "In front of everyone, stab me here with it and I'll die. My brother killed your brother, you kill me — — You see, this way your Cui family's hatred will be avenged, and the resentment in your heart will be resolved. Isn't that right? "
Li Shinian walked forward with the dagger in her hand, thrusting the dagger into Cui Yu's hand. "Catch her, kill me."
Cui Yu's face was deathly pale, and under the girl's coercion, she couldn't help taking a step back.
Clang!
The dagger fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Li Shinian looked down at the gorgeous dagger, sighing softly. "You can't even kill me, don't mention revenge in the future — — You'll be laughed at for nothing."
