"Grandpa, please make the decision with the head of the family and help us!" Li Baiyi knelt down and kowtowed to Li Lang and Mu Yucheng.
"This... Head of the family, what do you think we should do about this?" Li Lang looked very embarrassed. The nature of the woman's refusal to marry and the man's regret of marriage are different. More importantly, the Mu family is not an ordinary family. What happened This kind of thing is a matter of honor and shame. No matter how hard the relationship between Li Lang and Mu Yucheng is, they must consider it.
Mu Yucheng's mood at this time was also quite complicated. Today, he did not hesitate to threaten life and death, but Mu Lian still refused to let go. This made Mu Yucheng realize that Mu Lian was really determined. Her marriage to Li Baiyi was not going to happen. Nine times out of ten it's impossible. In addition, Mu Yucheng is not a cold-blooded person. After all, Mu Lian is his biological daughter. He can't bear to force her like this.
On the contrary, now, seeing the happy smile on Mu Lian's face, Mu Yucheng was deeply moved. As a father, if he can't make his daughter happy, then what kind of shit father is he? Now that Li Baiyi can take the initiative to let go, this has created a ready-made ladder for Mu Yucheng to step down.
After pondering for a moment, Mu Yucheng let out a long sigh and said, "It seems that these two children are really not destined to be together. In this case, as elders, we should respect their opinions. I declare that this marriage is cancelled."
After saying that, Mu Yucheng himself breathed a sigh of relief. After struggling for so many years, he was actually exhausted both physically and mentally. The only thing is that Mu Yucheng is still a little reluctant to let go of Li Baiyi. He appreciated Li Baiyi's talent and even more his character, and believed that one day, Li Baiyi would be able to achieve great things. It was a pity for Mu Yucheng that she couldn't pull him tighter.
As soon as Mu Yucheng opened his mouth, the matter was settled. Of course, Li Baiyi breathed a sigh of relief, and Mu Lian was even more delighted. She couldn't help but rush up and gave Mu Yucheng a big hug. He kept saying, "Dad, you are so kind!"
When Mu Lian was little, she often hugged Mu Yucheng and acted coquettishly, but in recent years, Mu Yucheng had almost forgotten this feeling. Now that he held his daughter in his arms again, Mu Yucheng felt no regrets. He was just a little bit closer to destroying his precious daughter with his own hands, which made Mu Yucheng feel extremely guilty.
"Lian'er, dad did indeed do something wrong in some things, and he has to apologize to you."
"Dad, there's no need to apologize! I only have one request, and that is that you can accept Wandong."
"What!? This is absolutely impossible!" Although Mu Yucheng agreed to terminate the engagement between Mu Lian and Li Baiyi, it did not mean that he could accept Wandong. In fact, Mu Yucheng's hatred for Wandong has not diminished at all.
First of all, it is of course because of Wandong's background. As the head of one of the three first-class families in the Taoist sect, in Mu Yucheng's eyes, people in the ordinary world are no different from ants. What a humble status! Mu Yucheng couldn't accept it at all for his noble daughter to marry a mortal. Secondly, it was precisely because of Wan Dong's appearance that Mu Lian turned against him. Thinking of this, Mu Yucheng's hatred for Wan Dong burned like a raging fire.
"Dad! You have already terminated my engagement with Brother Li, why can't you accept Wandong? He is really good, better than you imagined, really!" Mu Lian was a little anxious. After several years of After suffering, she finally saw the shadow of happiness. Mu Lian wished she could hold it in her hand with just one handful.
But Mu Lian didn't know that the more urgent she acted, the harder it was for Mu Yucheng to accept it. For a while, the atmosphere that had just relaxed between the two fathers and daughters became tense again.
Seeing this, Li Baiyi hurriedly stepped forward and said to Mu Yucheng, "Master, I think you should give Wandong a chance..."
"What, you want me to give him a chance? This is impossible!"
Li Baiyi didn't take it seriously and smiled, then said, "Master, this is not only an opportunity for Wandong, but also an opportunity for Lian'er and you. This opportunity will allow Lian'er to see clearly whether Wandong is real." It's worth her risking everything, and I can let you see clearly whether Wandong is worth your acceptance. If you don't even give him a chance, Lian'er will be sad for the rest of his life, and I'm afraid your heart won't be at ease either."
What Li Baiyi said made sense. Mu Yucheng calmed down and thought about it carefully, and found that it was indeed the case.
After pondering for a moment, Mu Yucheng finally nodded heavily and said, "Okay! I will give that boy a chance, but the ugliness comes first. If he can't satisfy me, then I will settle the old and new debts together!"
"Thank you, dad! Then... then I'll go find him and bring him here!" Mu Lian said impatiently.
"No! I want him to do it by himself! If he doesn't even have the courage to face me, what chance will there be?" Mu Yucheng refused.
Mu Lian wanted to say more, but Li Baiyi shook his head at her and said softly: "Have you forgotten what he asked me to tell you? He needs time now, so you have to wait."
Mu Lian sighed softly, knowing that she was too impatient, and nodded.
"By the way, Grandpa, I think I'm about to break through..." After persuading Mu Lian and Mu Yucheng, Li Baiyi completely relaxed, and then he remembered that he was about to break through.
"A breakthrough!?" Li Baiyi said, making Li Lang jump up with joy.
Mu Yucheng was also surprised and hurriedly looked at Li Baiyi. After a moment, his face was full of admiration and said, "The Tao Qi is full and the bottleneck is loose. It is indeed a sign of a breakthrough! Mr. Li, time is running out. Don’t miss this opportunity, take Bai Yi to Wanling Cave now!”
"Is this... is this appropriate? Aren't only disciples named Mu in Wanling Cave able to enter cultivation?" Mu Yucheng's words made Li Lang surprised, happy, and worried at the same time.
Wanling Cave is the Mu family's number one cultivation treasure. The spiritual energy in it is so powerful that even if you do nothing, just sitting quietly for one day can be worth a hundred days of hard training outside! If Li Baiyi can complete a breakthrough in Wanling Cave, it will not only greatly reduce the risk of breakthrough, but also make Li Baiyi's realm permanent and lay a solid foundation for the next breakthrough.
Mu Yucheng patted Li Baiyi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Although Baiyi is not my disciple with the surname Mu, in my heart, there is no difference between him and my disciple with the surname Mu. Besides, I am also the head of the Mu family after all. There is still power. Mr. Li, please take him there quickly, don’t miss this opportunity!”
"Then... Then Li Lang thanked the head of the family!" Li Lang thanked Mu Yucheng with gratitude, and then hurriedly walked towards Wanling Cave with Li Baiyi.
Once the Li family's grandfather and grandson left, only Mu Lian and Mu Yucheng were left. Mu Yucheng coughed slightly and said, "Girl, it's just you and me, father and daughter. Tell me, how did you convince Bai Yi to give up marrying you and become a brother and sister with you?"
Mu Lian chuckled, but she didn't say it clearly. She just said vaguely, "Daddy will understand when the time comes!"
"Eccentric and mysterious!"
Although Mu Yucheng blamed him, his eyes were full of smiles. The gloom and mist that shrouded Mu Lian's head finally completely dissipated, and Mu Lian returned to her previous cheerfulness and liveliness, which made Mu Yucheng happy from the bottom of his heart.
"Master, it's bad, the second lady ran away from home!"
At this moment, a maid, with a panicked expression, walked over in a hurry and said.
"What did you say!? Where did Tong'er go?" Mu Yucheng was surprised and asked hurriedly.
The maid shook her head and said, "I don't know, but the second lady left a note, saying that she was bored and went out to relax."
"What? This girl is so ignorant!"
Seeing that Mu Yucheng was anxious and angry, Mu Lian hurriedly comforted her, "Dad, the second sister is carefree by nature. It's normal for her to be bored at home. Doesn't she go out for a walk often? You don't have to worry too much."
Mu Yucheng frowned and said, "This is a troubled time now, unlike before. If she runs out at this time, she may encounter some danger. Neither of you two girls can make me worry! Okay, Lian'er." , Just rest, I’ll send someone to capture Tong’er girl!”
Mu Lian smiled and watched Mu Yucheng leave, not taking Mu Tong's sudden departure from home to heart. In fact, her mind was filled with thoughts of Wandong, and she had no room to put other things.
…
Along with a ray of red light, Huangfu Xun's figure stumbled into the room. Lin Feng and Xin Wuhen hurriedly stepped forward and helped him sit on the chair. This situation had happened more than once in the past two days. Seeing that the old wounds on Huangfu Xun's body had not yet healed, and new ones were added, Huangfu Qing, his younger sister, felt very heartbroken.
"Haha... Hahaha..." Just when Huangfu Qing was about to step forward to persuade Huangfu Xun, Huangfu Xun suddenly burst out laughing.
He looked like he was crazy, which made Huangfu Qing even more worried.
Wan Dong stood up, looked at Huangfu Xun, and said with a smile on his face, "Looking at you, the sixth wave of people in blood clothes have also been dealt with, right?"
Huangfu Xun waved his hand and said with unprecedented excitement, "It's so damn happy not to leave anyone behind!"
Wan Dong nodded lightly. It was not easy for Huangfu Xun to have such perseverance. In the past two days, he failed no less than five times, and each time he was seriously injured and tired. But Huangfu Xun gritted his teeth and persevered, and in this sixth time, he successfully wiped out all six waves of people in blood. This was indeed a great victory for Huangfu Xun.
"Brother, I think you are really crazy! Look what you are like now, you can still laugh." Huangfu Qing couldn't help but said with heartache and anger.
"Sister Qing, don't look at how embarrassed I am right now, but in fact I'm fine with nothing. The best can't be better! Those men in blood-clothed clothes are dangerous, but they are all good opponents! Fighting with them will not only improve you My practical experience has tempered my will and greatly promoted the growth of Tao Qi in my body. Otherwise, I would not have been able to survive until now!" Huangfu Xun simply fell in love with this training. It’s a treasure. Although my whole body is in pain and seems to be falling apart, my mouth is smiling from ear to ear... (To be continued)
