Shangguan Yaohua called out, "As a father, you want to give up your daughter's life with your own hands, and you still say it in a sanctimonious manner! You … you are all jackals of the same tribe! Do you know why Ruoyu has become like this? It's all because of you, this amazing father, who has neglected her too much since she was a child! You let her grow up in a lonely environment, wholeheartedly working hard and performing well, all in exchange for a moment of your gaze, as well as a few words of praise. But you, in your eyes, there is only power and position, only endless ambition and desire. Are you really that stingy? Giving her a bit of fatherly love, spending more time with her, to you, is it really that difficult? "
As he said that, he turned to Ping Ruoyu and emotionally said, "Ruoyu, I know you can hear me. Since the one who let you down is this world, the one who should be tortured shouldn't be you. You should open your eyes wide and look at these so-called relatives and friends around you, how cold-blooded and heartless they are. You should live and let them pay the price! You want to be the Wulin's Alliance Leader, that's not wrong, but I'm afraid that among those hypocrites who keep saying that they dare to be the first under the heavens, eleven out of ten want to be the Alliance Leader. You shouldn't be defeated so easily, not by using drugs to control the small ceremony of abdicating the throne. If you were exposed, you wouldn't be able to continue singing. Let me tell you, in this world, lies will always be wrapped in a glorious cloak. What fairness and justice, what evil can't prevail over good? Who is the good and who is the evil? Hasn't the judgment of the past always been from the perspective of the winner? Do you want to wait until your strength is exhausted and you die alone, only to receive a few worthless, fake tears from other people? How can that be worthy of burying you? Don't do stupid things like accompany others to the grave, because these people … "Sweeping his gaze over the bodies floating on the water in the hall, he coldly said," None of them are worthy of you dying together with them! "
Manor Master Ping sighed in his heart, but he could not bear it and said, "She has already lost her consciousness, no matter how much you talk to her, it will be a waste of your breath!" Shangguan Yaohua coldly said, "Has she always been like this?" Manor Master Ping was startled by his words and asked, "What?"
Shangguan Yaohua said, "I said that you have always been so self-righteous, using your own wishful thinking to casually judge her thoughts and criticize her actions? In your eyes, she's not your daughter. She's just a tool for you to use, isn't she? She didn't lose her consciousness only today, haven't you always been talking about it? The reason why you're panicking now is only because the weak and easily bullied sheep suddenly has enough strength to resist the shepherds! "
Manor Master Ping angrily said, "You brat … how dare you be so impudent?" He couldn't catch his breath and coughed up a few more mouthfuls of blood.
Shangguan Yaohua ignored him and gently held Ping Ruoyu's shoulder. Looking deep into her eyes, he gently said, "Ruoyu, I don't believe that you really don't have consciousness. Are you willing to die like this and let your dreams come to nothing? Are you willing to take everything you have to the grave and be buried in the darkness of the earth forever? I can understand your feelings. In order to gain your father's favor, you did not hesitate to play to the gallery. While degrading yourself, you also did your best to fight for it. He values men over women, so you changed into men's clothing and wandered the Jianghu. You wanted to prove that you are not inferior to anyone who was born a man, right? As long as you tried your best, you could also become the overlord of this world. Being the Wulin Alliance Leader is not your goal. The real you is just a girl who needs to be loved, just like any other girl your age. But no matter what, you have to stay alive. Only by staying alive can you have everything. You made your own decision. No matter how many influential people you brought, you still made the most unprofitable deal. Because others only lost the money they invested. Only you lost all the capital you had to make a comeback. You lost everything! "
Manor Master Ping frowned and said, "Don't touch her … be careful that she will hurt you again." He had personally experienced how tyrannical Ping Ruoyu's ability was after taking the medicine. If Shangguan Yaohua was really hurt by her, he wouldn't be able to answer to Jiang Liechen. He was afraid that it would be difficult for him to recover from this serious injury and he wouldn't be able to contend with her again.
His heart wasn't made of stone. After hearing those words, he thought about how he treated Ping Ruoyu harshly and neglected her. He didn't feel good and was actually a little afraid to hear it.
Yuan Yi made a shushing gesture and whispered, "I think Brother Shangguan's actions are not completely useless. Look at Ruoyu. She is indeed quieter than before. "
Shangguan Yaohua gathered his courage and slowly stroked Ping Ruoyu's cheek, saying, "Even your marriage was used by your father as a bargaining chip to curry favor with the Seven Demons. For a girl, how many times can there be in her life? How can you treat it like a child's play? It's true that a group of rich young masters flocked to you, but that's just an illusion. They've never seen your face before, so how can there be love? They're only interested in the illustrious and mysterious Four Great Clans, or the rumor that Miss Ping is as beautiful as a fairy. There's never been a single person who was willing to stand in your position and care for you and understand you. I think that maybe what you need is someone like that, and not someone who crawls by your side all day, serving you, flattering you, and thinking about how to benefit from you. You didn't do anything wrong. If there's anything wrong, it's the Bureau's fault. It's your father's fault. You're not a criminal. It must be very uncomfortable to be tied up like this, right? If you're obedient and don't make a fuss, I'll untie you. How about it? "
Manor Head Ping was stunned, saying, "Are you crazy? We spent so much effort to tie her up. If you let her go, then all of us won't be able to live! "
Shangguan Yaohua said, "The end of the spear is pointed at your own daughter. Is this your glorious achievement? Is it worth bragging about repeatedly? Then do you want me to go back to the palace and report to the Emperor and have him draft a document to announce to the world? "Manor Head Ping was so angry that she pointed at Shangguan Yaohua. She gasped for breath and coughed up another mouthful of blood.
Shangguan Yaohua snorted coldly. He took out a dagger and cut off the long whip on Ping Ruoyu's body. Pieces of the broken rope slid down her body and quickly disappeared into the water.
At this time, the seawater was already up to their chests. Shangguan Yaohua said softly, "Look, as long as you try to solve it, anything can be discussed. Be obedient, okay?" Other than when he comforted Chen Xiangxiang when they were young, this was the first time he coaxed someone in a soft voice. Ping Ruoyu's eyes were still filled with a bloody light, but it was no longer as murderous as before.
Shangguan Yaohua gently wrapped his arms around her waist, saying, "I can see your eyes. Although there's nothing in your eyes, I know that you're afraid, right? Subconsciously, you're running away from this world. I don't know how it has wronged you, but there's no one in this world that you can truly rely on. The only one who can always stand by your side and face difficulties is yourself. Don't tell me that you shouldn't treat yourself well? We can't obtain salvation from others, and we don't need to extravagantly ask for their pity. No matter what method you use, it's not a sin to want to live. For this reason, you should persevere on the path you've decided to walk, and don't care about anyone's criticism. When you're standing at the peak of glory, you can look down on their regretful expressions. Let them see how those who have been abandoned by the world can understand each other, and what kind of amazing miracles can be created! "
As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel an impulse. He bent down and kissed Ping Ruoyu's soft lips. At the same time, he smelled a fragrance coming from her body. It was as if he was surrounded by a field of flowers, intoxicating him. This kiss was sometimes shallow and sometimes deep, but it was infused with the strongest of emotions.
Yuan Yi's eyes suddenly widened, but then she smiled in understanding. She whispered a few words into her father's ear. The original village head's blood-stained face also revealed a weak smile. Village Head Ping was so angry that his beard blew and his eyes widened. He muttered to himself, "This brat has guts. How dare he take advantage of my daughter's perilous state and take advantage of her?"
After a long time, Shangguan Yaohua reluctantly lifted his head from Ping Ruoyu's lips. He gently brushed his finger across her face and said, "Ruoyu, I hope that you're still as energetic as before, chasing after me and yelling at me to take responsibility for you. If possible, I hope that I can stay by your side and help you wipe away your tears, so that you won't cry anymore. All of this, I only hope that you'll be safe. If in your heart, you care about me even a little bit, then I can be at ease. Now, I'll wait for you. I'll wait for you to wake up. "
Everyone stared at the two of them anxiously. The seawater quickly reached their necks. Shangguan Yaohua still held Ping Ruoyu tightly, not letting go. After a while, he suddenly saw Ping Ruoyu's long eyelashes tremble slightly. Her eyes blinked twice, and finally, they slowly opened. The scene in front of her eyes was both real and unreal. Her mind was in a mess.
When she saw that the hall was in ruins, and that the two of them were almost completely submerged in the water, she finally remembered that she had caused a great disaster in a moment of willfulness. She softly said, "Yao Hua Gege … we … are we dead? Are we in the netherworld right now? "
Shangguan Yaohua saw that she had woken up. He suppressed the joy in his heart and said, "Idiot, could it be that the netherworld is exactly the same as your Ping Family Village? Believe me, I'm very lucky. I've been through many desperate situations and I've always been safe. With me protecting you, you won't die so easily. " Ping Ruoyu felt that her whole body was sore, as if she had just gone through a fierce battle. Every part of her body hurt terribly, but she was unwilling to think about it. She said, "What's wrong? You're not hiding from me anymore? Don't you hate me the most? "
Shangguan Yaohua said, "Who said I hate you? If that person isn't blind, then he's an idiot whose mind isn't clear. When you fainted just now, I was more nervous than if the sky had collapsed and the earth had sunk. I was afraid that you wouldn't wake up again. If you didn't exist in this world, I wouldn't be in the mood to use the entire country in front of me. I said a lot of things to you, but I don't know if you heard them or not. Even if you heard them, you might not remember them. Even if you remember them, you might not be willing to admit them honestly … "
Ping Ruoyu frowned and said, "What … did you say to me?" It was only now that she felt a touch on her waist. Following her line of sight, she saw that she was lying in Shangguan Yaohua's embrace. She was immediately happy and embarrassed. Her lips moved, but just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt an intense pain in her chest. A wave of darkness attacked her, instantly swallowing her whole vision. Her body leaned forward and she lost all consciousness.
Shangguan Yaohua suddenly felt a weight on his arm. When he looked again, Ping Ruoyu had fainted again. A trace of blood seeped out from the corner of her mouth. He thought that if he could save her and wake her up, then everything would be fine. But now that there was an unforeseen event, he immediately panicked. Yuan Yi saw this from the side and jumped down from the passage. She waded to his side and checked Ping Ruoyu's breathing. Shangguan Yaohua was beside her, endlessly anxious, and repeatedly urged her to speak.
Before Yuan Yi could reply, she suddenly heard a loud rumbling sound from her side. The sea was like a giant wave that overflowed the sky, sweeping toward the hall.
This room was even more fragile than the small boat. It seemed like it would be completely swallowed in the blink of an eye. The cups, plates, and utensils placed around them fell one after another into the waves. After a few tumbles, they disappeared without a trace.
