Chapter 42: Rong Family's Concerns



With Yu Bie Liu as an "undercover", the big guys from the four cities went to fight against the Tiger King in a mighty force, but in the end they couldn't even find the shadow of the Tiger King.

Since the tiger could not be found, the plan to conquer it had to be put on hold. After staying in the forest for more than ten days, the leaders of various forces began to get impatient.

They left everything else to come and fight with the Tiger King instead of staying in the forest for sightseeing.

We have been waiting for so many days, but we still can't find the Tiger King. What's the point of staying here any longer?

In the end, even if the Lord of Qingyue City said something very eloquent, he could not stop the leaders of various forces from returning.

It’s not like they won’t continue the crusade. At least, they need to find the Tiger King first before fighting, right?

Some people were left in the Huwei Forest to search for the Tiger King, while the others returned home. The so-called crusade against the Tiger King had to be put on hold temporarily.

After all, the leaders of various forces are still quite wary of the Tiger King, fearing that if a fight breaks out, they will be the ones to die and their own interests will be hurt.

More than two months passed, and the chaos caused by the beast tide in the four cities gradually calmed down. Yu Bie Liu, who had been living a life of idleness at home, finally cheered up.

The time for the Rong family's annual disciple competition has arrived, and she has things to do.

All the Rong family disciples are preparing enthusiastically, wanting to show their style and strength in the competition and lay the foundation for the roles they will play in the family in the future.

When I read storybooks in the past, I was often excited when I saw the protagonist pretending to be cool but getting slapped in the face. I wished I could be in the same situation and be the protagonist who didn’t have to worry about anything and was extremely happy.

And today, this grand drama she personally designed is about to be staged! Just thinking about it makes me a little excited.

After tidying up his appearance at home, Yu Bie Liu said goodbye to his parents and went to the Rong family alone.

After arriving, she was naturally warmly received by the servants, who led her all the way to the martial arts training ground in the center of the Rong family. At this time, the arena had been set up there, and many disciples were standing in the audience, discussing heatedly.

When Yu Bie Liu came in and was led to the front of the head of the Rong family, he also attracted the attention of many young people. Yu Bie Liu could feel that the scene behind him, which should have been noisy, became quiet for a moment.

Well, that’s good. Her name, Yubieliu, is quite famous in these four cities.

Rong Lin watched Yu Bie Liu approach slowly, his eyes twinkling, and then he put on a friendly smile: "Niece Yu, how come you have time to come over?"

Yu Bie Liu bowed to Rong Lin as a junior before speaking, "Uncle, I heard that the Rong family's disciple competition is today, and I thought Jian would be participating, so I came to take a look."

After a pause, Yu Bie Liu said, "In the past two months, I have sent invitations several times, but Jian always avoided seeing me..."

As she spoke, she cast a puzzled look at Rong Lin, her meaning obvious: "Why is your son so fat? I'm a girl, but I'm so proactive, why doesn't he even pay attention to me?"

During this period, she sent invitations to the Rong family several times, saying that she wanted to meet her fiancé, go out for fun, and cultivate feelings... Of course, in the end, the result was that she was politely rejected.

The reasons were similar, saying that Rong Jian was concentrating on practicing, striving to become stronger and worthy of her...but she never mentioned that Rong Jian disappeared in the beast tide and his life or death was unknown.

This is a common problem in large families. The life and death of a disciple is definitely not as important as the family's interests.

"Is that so..." Rong Lin's smile froze a little, and he pointed at the chair next to him, "Then niece Yu, please sit down and watch. As a father, I can't say anything about Xiao Jian's affairs."

Upon hearing this, Yu Bie Liu bit her lip and acted as if she clearly noticed that Rong Lin was trying to change the subject, but was reluctant to ask further due to her junior status. After hesitating for a while, she thanked him and sat down quietly.

Rong Lin, seeing Yu Bieliu's tactful response, sighed inwardly. As for Rong Jian, even if he didn't want to admit it, at this moment... he was afraid that he was in great danger.

I had just been able to practice and entered the body-building stage when I encountered a tide of beasts. It has been more than two months since then. My hope of survival is really slim.

Rong Lin regretted it. If he had not forced Rong Jian and firmly demanded that he not participate in the competition, and after being refuted, he would have been so angry that he cut off Rong Jian's resources.

How could he go to Huwei Forest and risk his life in vain!

But what good was regret? The person was already gone, and as a father, he couldn't even give him a proper funeral...

Yes, it can't.

Don't be fooled by his magnanimity when the Yu family broke off the engagement, and his indifference to the engagement and the covenant. In fact, he was just holding on to gain more respect for Rong Jian.

If the Yu family has really made up their mind, no matter what his attitude is, the result will be the same and nothing can be changed.

But is this alliance really unimportant? For the Yu family, yes; for the Rong family, no.

During the years when the Rong and Yu families were allied, the other two families in Rongcheng also established alliances to protect their interests. Only by working together could the two families maintain the superficial peace in Rongcheng.

If the alliance between the Rong and Yu families was dissolved at this time, the Yu family would not be destroyed because of the support of the Yantian Sect, but it would be hard to say for his Rong family.

Therefore, the top management of the Rong family breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Yu Bie Liu was willing to continue the engagement and not abruptly cancel it because of the gap between her and Rong Jian, one a genius and the other a waste.

If we can still maintain the stability of Rongcheng and develop steadily, who would be willing to become meat on the chopping board of someone else?

But at this moment, something happened to Rong Jian.

He secretly left the city and went to the Huwei Forest, where he happened to encounter a beast tide and lost his life.

If one party to the engagement dies, the engagement naturally cannot continue; once the engagement is broken, the covenant is broken.

Not to mention that the Yu family would continue the alliance out of consideration for the relationship between the two families, they would rather break it off quickly so that they can follow the other two families and divide up the Rong family's business.

For the top management of the Rong family, this is the biggest ups and downs.

Therefore, Rong Lin could not hold a funeral for his son, and even had to let all those who knew about it pretend that Rong Jian was still alive... temporarily hiding it from the Yu family to buy time for the Rong family.

Yu Bie Liu caught a glimpse of Rong Lin's slightly tired expression and instantly understood what he was thinking.

How can I put it, the focus is on the kid. Now that he's back, everything else is not a big deal, and Rong Lin's worries are not worries either.

She had sent out invitations several times in the past two months, just to remind the Rong family that as long as the engagement was in place, the Yu family still had concerns; if the engagement was no longer in place, don't blame the Yu family for being ruthless.

So don’t be so desperate as to announce the kid’s death. I’m afraid that he will struggle back, only to find that he is dead!

Then things became funny!
