If Deng Shuanghong was just an ordinary woman, it would be fine. However, she was the mistress of Song Wangting, a big shot in Hangzhou City.
With the power of the Murong Family, how could they not find out Deng Shuanghong's background?
For a millennium family like the Murong Family, the Family Head was a powerful man. Even if it was a second wife, the Family Head would find out everything about the bride's family.
Only a woman like Deng Shuanghong who lived at the bottom of the society didn't know what kind of giant the Murong Family was. She naively thought that she had Murong Junlin in the palm of her hand and even tried to steal the property of the Murong Family.
However, Murong Junlin acted as if he knew nothing and was so cold to his own daughter, Murong Yanran. All of this did not make sense.
After Ding Ning learned about Deng Shuanghong's past, he became suspicious. He suspected that Murong Junlin might have other purposes, but he couldn't figure out what his purpose was. That was why when Head Guard Song saw that Murong Junlin was about to leave, he pretended to press his shoulder casually and asked him to arrange lunch. In fact, he was using Absolute Touch to check whether Murong Junlin was a warrior.
After probing, Ding Ning found that Murong Junlin was not only a warrior, but also a warrior in the early stage of the Real Martial Arts Realm. This made him even more certain of his speculation that Murong Junlin was deliberately targeting Murong Yanran with ulterior motives.
However, Ding Ning couldn't figure out what his purpose was. Later, he thought that he opened the door of willpower and awakened the Star Bloodline, so he wondered if it had something to do with willpower.
It was not until Murong Yanran told him about the Star Tactics that he was sure that the precondition to practice the Star Tactics was to have a strong will. He connected all the clues and formed a reasonable logic, which allowed him to understand Murong Junlin's thoughts.
The fight for the position of the Family Head of the noble families was always accompanied by bloodshed. The Murong Family definitely didn't want to see the bloodline kill each other, so they made a rule that only a few senior members of the family knew. The descendants of the family had to practice the Star Combat Arts successfully to be qualified to be the successor of the Family Head.
Murong Junlin's branch held the most power in the family, and the other branches would be jealous. Murong Junlin only had one son and one daughter, but none of them had mastered the Star Technique. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't worried that his power would fall to someone else.
Therefore, when Deng Shuanghong came to seduce him more than 20 years ago, he began to make arrangements and beat her at her own game, colluding with Deng Shuanghong to stimulate Murong Yanran's children. Even for this plan, he hardened his heart and ignored his wife's death of depression, just to let Murong Yanran and her younger brother live in hatred and pain, forcing them to work hard and to sharpen their iron wills.
Although it was hard for Ding Ning to accept his action, he could understand his idea. There was no familial love in a noble family. For people like Murong Junlin who had tasted the taste of power, any sacrifice was worth it, not to mention a woman, for the position of the Family Head to continue smoothly in his branch.
Perhaps Murong Junlin's first candidate for the position of the head of the family was his son, Murong Yixiao. But it was a pity that Murong Yixiao was a heartless guy. He respected his father more than he hated him. He was even bewitched by Deng Shuanghong. He even drifted away from his sister and led a befuddled life.
Murong Junlin was probably very disappointed with Murong Yixiao's performance, so he pinned his hope on his daughter, Murong Yanran. He protected Murong Xiongfeng in every way, listened to Deng Shuanghong's words to sow dissension, targeted Murong Yanran in every way, and even forced her to leave home. Everything he did was for her to improve herself, so that she could break through the Star Tactics as soon as possible and be qualified to inherit the family.
Murong Yanran listened to Ding Ning's analysis and compared it with her father's many abnormal behaviors over the years. Although she was very unwilling to admit it, she had to admit that what Ding Ning said was probably the truth.
For example, as Ding Ning said, Murong Junlin was not a muddle-headed and incompetent person, but a very capable Family Head. How could such a person, who could be called an ambitious person, not investigate Deng Shuanghong's background and be bewitched by a woman like Deng Shuanghong?
Moreover, she left home in a fit of anger and hid in Ninghai under the name of Mu Yanran. But with the power of the Murong Family, how could they not find her? But Murong Junlin always ignored her, as if he had never had a daughter, which made Murong Yanran think that he had given up on her, and she felt sad every day.
In addition, Murong Junlin was an expert in the Real Martial Arts Realm, but he hid it so well that even his own daughter did not know he was a warrior. This indirectly proved that the successor of the Murong Family Head must be a warrior who had broken through the Star Combat Arts.
Comparing all kinds of clues and unreasonable points, it proved that Ding Ning's speculation had basically restored the truth.
"Is he not afraid of forcing me, his daughter, to die?"
Murong Yanran had mixed feelings at the moment. She was happy that her father was not really heartless, but she hated her father's cruel means.
"If you're really driven to madness or death, it means that you're useless and not worthy of his attention."
Ding Ning knew that what he said was very cruel, but it was a bloody and cruel fact.
He knew that Murong Yanran understood this very well, but she was not willing to accept it emotionally.
"Alas! Can't you lie to me? It is also good to let me live in a fantasy. "
Murong Yanran said with hidden bitterness. After all, Sister Queen still showed her most vulnerable side.
"Natural selection, survival of the fittest, this law of the jungle has never been eliminated since ancient times. If you are just an ordinary woman, I will naturally protect you for the rest of your life and not let you suffer any harm.
But it's a pity that you're not. You're born in the Murong Clan, so you're destined to face the cruelest fate. All I can do is that no matter what choice you make, I will support you unconditionally. "
Ding Ning affectionately caressed her soft cheeks and said gently, "What's more, your fantasy will be broken by others sooner or later. Instead of letting others break through the window paper, it's better for me to break it. It may be better for you to face the reality earlier."
Murong Yanran did not say anything. Like a docile cat, she rubbed her cheek against his hand and slightly closed her eyes. Her long eyelashes suddenly flickered, and two drops of crystal tears slipped down quietly.
She understood what Ding Ning meant. Now it was Ding Ning who broke the puzzle, and she would be fully mentally prepared. Once her father revealed the answer in person, the unexpected blow might make her collapse directly.
His soft lips brushed her cheek, comforted her warm tears, and warmed the softest place in her heart.
Feeling his steady heartbeat, she closed her eyes and suddenly stretched out her white jade-like arms, tightly hugging his neck. Her cold lips awkwardly searched for the lips that could bring warmth to her.
Their lips finally met unexpectedly. Like dry firewood igniting a raging fire, violent gasps quickly resounded through this not cold night.
In the lingering sorrow …
She gasped and asked, "Why didn't you hide it from me?"
He replied with sweat dripping down his face, "Because I didn't want to lie to you."
She was silent, but her gasps became more violent, as if she wanted to vent the long-suppressed sadness and grievance.
But he suddenly became gentle, because he felt the warm liquid moistening his hand along her cheek.
"Does it hurt a lot?"
He asked gently. Although he knew why she was crying, he knew that he should pretend not to know, because she was his woman.
"Don't say anything. Love me, okay?"
Her voice was hoarse and dry.
He remained silent and could only use his actions to comfort her heart that was full of wounds.
After a long time, the wind stopped and the rain stopped!
The woman curled up in the quilt and slept soundly. Her face was as quiet as a baby's, and there were still crystal tears on her long eyelashes.
The man gazed at her silently and kissed her lips lovingly. He carefully tucked her in and quietly turned to leave.
The wind was blowing gently, and the sound of waves hitting the beach came from a distance.
Ding Ning tightened the fur coat wrapped around his body, and did not say hello to the girls who were still playing mahjong all night. He stealthily escaped outside.
In a room in the second castle, Du Mosheng stared at the ceiling blankly with her big eyes, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, but her mind was in a mess.
"What, can't sleep?"
A spirited voice came from the side.
"Shilin, you can't sleep either? I don't know what's going on, but I don't feel sleepy at all. "
Du Mosheng simply sat up, exposing her fragrant shoulder, which was only wearing a small suspender.
"It's normal. We are no longer ordinary people now. We are martial artists, and martial artists at the peak of the Real Martial Realm. I heard from Sister Qingyun that at our current realm, it's normal to not eat or sleep for a month."
Guan Shilin also sat up, leaned on the bed, and said excitedly.
"Really? Then why don't you sleep all day? It's so boring! "
Du Mosheng was, after all, a young girl. She quickly put the troubles in her heart to the back of her mind and said with a little excitement.
"Tsk, you should be happy. It's a waste of time to sleep all day. It's better to be like us now. Whether it's work or study, we have more time and energy than ordinary people."
Guan Shilin said happily.
"Yes, yes, you don't have to eat and you still save food for the country, right?"
Du Mosheng joked.
"That's right. If we can be like us when we climb the snow mountains and cross the grassland, how many people will die?"
Guan Shilin was indeed from the red family. Her thinking was obviously different from ordinary people.
Du Mosheng did not speak. After a long silence, she said in a low voice, "Shilin, will you regret it?"
"Regret? Why should I regret it? "
Guan Shilin asked strangely.
"He... he has so many women. Can our family... accept it?"
Du Mosheng asked in a low mood.
Her mood was both frightened and curious. There was also an inexplicable expectation. She had mixed feelings and didn't know what to do.
Guan Shilin struggled for a moment, and then said heartlessly, "What are you afraid of? If Dad and Mom don't agree, I will cry and hang myself. At worst, I will elope with him. Anyway, Wen Rourou, Wei Yaoyao, Xiao Nuo, Murong Yanran, all of them are from big families. They all have the courage to fight. Why should we be afraid?"
"Ah! It's not the same. If it's a normal relationship, with... with his excellence, the family will definitely not object. But, with so many women following him, do you think the family will agree? "
Du Mosheng said in distress, "What's more, I'm the only one in my family. If I elope with him, my parents will cry to death."
"Yes, it seems to be very troublesome."
Guan Shilin tilted her little head and looked as if she had suddenly realized something. Then she suddenly remembered something and said, "Also, I remember you seemed to have said that.
