Manor Master Ping said, "Of course it's different. What I said to her wasn't a lie. Since I still need to rely on her to pass on information, I won't let her die so easily. If she is careless and incompetent, it has nothing to do with me. On the other hand, you should consider when you'll be willing to hold the Wulin Assembly, announce it to the public, and give the position of alliance chief to my Yu 'er. If you delay any longer, we won't have that much patience! "
Li Yijie turned pale with fright and felt cold from head to toe. He said, "Manor Master Ping, you … you … you clearly promised Xueer that you won't force me anymore. That's why you tricked her into risking her life for you. Why do you want to go back on your word the moment you turn around? "
Manor Lord Ping sneered and said, "Why? Are you really addicted to being the Alliance Master? Among the many suitors, I only chose you. Why do you think it's for? If it's not for the position of alliance chief, could it be because of your outstanding talent? Since you're my son-in-law, who's the alliance chief and who's in charge of that empty title, what does it have to do with anything? As for that sentence, you heard it too. I said, 'As long as you can send back some information from time to time, I can promise not to force him anymore.' Even if the agreement can't be broken, as long as I force you to agree before she sends any information, then no one can say anything about me! "
Li Yijie was shocked and angry. He jumped up and said, "As a manor master, how can you use such despicable means to force me to submit? How can you live up to your status as a martial arts senior? If the entire martial arts world is destroyed because of this, it will be because I, Li Yijie, am following my own selfish desires. I will be the sinner of the whole world! "
Manor Master Ping said, "How can it be like this? Under our rule, the martial arts world will only become more prosperous. How can it be destroyed? I'll be honest with you. What senior? In my eyes, they're nothing more than dirt. Originally, I wouldn't even keep this promise. "
Li Yijie said angrily, "Isn't it so? You want to lead everyone to rely on the Seven Malevolent Demons and borrow his power to stabilize your own power. But do you know who he is? He would cooperate with others for a moment to plunder benefits, but after that, he would immediately kick the collaborator away. That person would already be a dried corpse that had been sucked dry of blood! Cooperating with him was simply unreliable! Do you think he's a lowly character that you can win over and push away as you please? Once you get involved with him, it'll be hard for you to get away for the rest of your life! "
Manor Lord Ping said, "Of course I know all this nonsense. He and I are just using each other, and he should know that. However, this kid was still a junior after all. No matter how shrewd he was, so what? What kind of son-in-law would help an outsider instead of his father-in-law? Do you know that he once told me that you are his enemy in this lifetime? The hatred that you have given him is something that he will never be able to repay in this lifetime. If it wasn't for me protecting you, who knows how many times you would have died. Handing over the position of Alliance Master could be considered as one less reason for his hatred. I advise you to return to your room as soon as possible. Think carefully before giving me an answer. "
Li Yijie said seriously, "If you still treat me as your son-in-law, then listen to my advice. There are many ways to succeed, but one should be down-to-earth. Don't ever think of taking shortcuts and asking a tiger for its skin. You'll ruin the reputation of the manor and shame your daughter because of you as her father! "
After saying that, he stood up and looked at Manor Lord Ping. He said, "There's nothing for me to consider about that matter. Because from the beginning, I've already considered it very clearly. I don't need your protection. I can still escape from his pursuit time and time again. The one who should really think carefully is you! "
Manor Lord Ping was furious. He stomped his feet and cursed, "No matter how you complain, I can only blame Yu 'er for being blind and taking a liking to an evil creature like you!" Li Yijie stopped and frowned. "What do you mean?"
Manor Lord Ping said angrily, "What do I mean! What do I mean! I said that Yu 'er, this silly girl, really took a liking to you. What do you mean by that again? " Li Yijie paused for a moment and then laughed sarcastically. "Manor Lord Ping, why do you have to deceive yourself and others? You and I both know very well that the reason why she took a liking to me is the same as yours. It's all for the position of the Wulin Alliance. "
Manor Lord Ping said, "Nonsense! When you had power and influence, she married you for the position of the Alliance Head. However, she had mentioned many times that even if you were forced to abdicate and not become the Alliance Head, she would still want you to be her husband. A girl is willing to accept a man who has nothing. If it's not for love, what else can it be? I really don't know what's so good about you, silly boy, that you can actually attract Yu 'er. If I dared to lay a hand on you, it would be equivalent to losing this daughter forever. Now, you should know how your life was saved, right? "
Li Yijie was ashamed and ashamed. He understood that Manor Lord Ping had no need to lie about his daughter's reputation. Then, this matter must be true. In the eyes of many people, even himself, he had long lost confidence in himself. He never expected that there would be a devastatingly beautiful girl who would fall in love with him without asking for any reward. He gritted his teeth and said, "If it's true, I won't let Ruoyu down. I can continue to be your son-in-law and let the days pass by peacefully. However, if you want to use this as an excuse to turn the tables, I can't be moved by power, but similarly, I won't be swayed by emotional drama. I'm afraid your wishful thinking will fail. "
Manor Lord Ping said in anger, "What a heartless boy! To think that my daughter treated you with sincerity! "
Li Yijie snorted and did not even look at Manor Lord Ping. He walked straight to the door of their bridal chamber and turned around. He revealed a cold smile that was no less cold than the frost in February. He said, "It's you who played with other people's feelings. Why should I cherish her? Even if there's no such thing as the Heavenly Dao, with my lowly strength, I insist on being a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Let's see if I can stop this calamity of the Wulin Alliance! Today's cause will have tomorrow's effect. That's all I have to say. Manor Lord Ping, you're on your own now. " After he finished speaking, he turned around and entered the room. With a bang, he slammed the door. His pure and noble back view only stopped for a moment in front of the door.
Manor Lord Ping looked at him in astonishment. He still had boundless faith in this young man's vigorous heroic spirit and his future, which seemed to be bleak in everyone's eyes. As long as he did his best, there was a chance that he could turn the situation around. For the first time, he was slightly shocked.
The past few days in the manor were spent in a busy state of preparation. Li Yijie closed the door and did not come out. Ping Ruoyu also did not talk much with him. He had to deal with his father every day and was already exhausted. He did not have the spare energy to make trouble.
Although Li Yijie sometimes wanted to inquire about Nangong Xue, he swallowed the words that were at the tip of his tongue. After knowing that she did have feelings for him, many of the words that came out easily in the past were difficult to speak. Perhaps, in front of an admirer, he would talk about another woman every time he opened his mouth. That would be the deepest and most painful wound. At this moment, he really did not want to make her sad. To him, Ping Ruoyu was more like a relative than a wife, so it was more appropriate to call her a relative.
The big day that attracted the attention of tens of thousands of people finally arrived. Early in the morning, silk ribbons were pulled up everywhere in the manor. The walls were freshly painted and the floor was covered with a long carpet. On both sides of the road, there were many servants from low to high ranks. They were playing drums and beating drums as they greeted the guests. The sound of gongs and drums filled the sky. Even the arrival of the Emperor was not as grand as this.
Ping Ruoyu changed into men's clothing and stood with her father in the main hall, waiting. In addition to anxiety, there was also a lot of expectation in her eyes. Recently, the most common thing she heard was praise and criticism of the Seven Evil Spirits. This made her even more curious. She wanted to see what was different about this important person. Manor Lord Ping was dressed in martial attire. His messy hair was meticulously combed and his haggard face seemed to be glowing. With his hands behind his back, his gaze never left the entrance of the main hall.
After a few hours, the music in front of the door suddenly became louder. The servants seemed to be using all their strength. Ping Ruoyu and Manor Lord Ping straightened their postures and looked at the door. They saw two servants spread out on both sides. They spread out one hand and bowed extremely low. "Welcome, Lord Seven Evil Spirits."
A person wrapped in a black robe and wearing a half-mask walked in. Just by looking at his aura, it was enough to freeze the hall. It was as if his appearance could turn the sea into mulberry fields and the oasis into a desert. He could bring everything that was full of vitality into a hell of despair. Looking at him from afar, he could make people's breathing stop. They did not even dare to breathe too loudly for fear of being met with his bloodthirsty and murderous gaze.
In the past year, he was said to be the most powerful Lord in the Jianghu. However, he had become thin and weathered. He was no different from a moving skeleton. It was as if he could be pushed down by someone. However, he also had a powerful aura. No one dared to be careless.
Beside him was a young man in a purple robe. His expression was also cold and hard. No one could tell if he was happy or angry. Children were always the most lively. When they saw a new scene, they would definitely look here, touch there, and comment. However, this young man did not look sideways. He treated everything around him as if there was nothing around him. His footsteps were steady and light. An expert could tell at a glance that it was not because he was young. It was because his Light-body Technique had reached perfection. Every time he took a step, it was as if he was floating.
Moreover, he could stand beside the Seven Evil Spirits as if nothing had happened. He was probably the only one in the world who could enjoy this privilege. It was obvious that his status was extraordinary. In this way, his identity was on the verge of being revealed.
Ping Ruoyu had long heard that the Seven Evil Spirits' disciple, Ling Shuangjin, had been inseparable from him. His martial arts had been taught by him and he had done many important things for him. His methods were swift and fierce. His gaze was precise. The blood debt on his body was comparable to that of the Seven Evil Spirits themselves. At a young age, he was extremely intelligent. He could understand everything with just a hint. He had even surpassed many of the famous seniors in the Jianghu. He was temperamental and could slaughter an entire city in one night without showing any mercy. However, he was generous. He could also carry a trembling child out of a pool of blood, change him into a clean set of clothes, and feed him with his own hands. No one knew when he would show his kindness, and to whom he would show it.
For a time, when Ling Shuangjin's name was mentioned, everyone was terrified. There were even people who secretly described him as "Cold Frost Void Blood Evil Spirit". This meant that wherever he passed, it was as if he was attacked by frost or as if he was burned by fire.
At this moment, the young man was standing in front of him. His face was sharp and angular, and there was an arrogance in his expression that looked down on everything. It was as if he was born with it. It was hard to believe that he was a child who had just turned six years old. However, when he thought of all his actions, which one of them matched his age?
A group of purple-clothed disciples followed behind the two of them. They wore golden belts around their waists and followed closely behind them. This group of escorts did not dare to get too close to their masters. When the two of them walked together, they seemed to naturally form a noble and lofty aura that caused others to retreat.
Manor Lord Ping quickly stepped forward and pulled Ping Ruoyu, who was in a daze. The two of them cupped their fists together and bowed. "The Seven Evil Spirits have graced us with your presence. Everyone in our manor is extremely honored."
