"Ahem, Liu'er..." The Great Elder coughed and spoke earnestly, "We, the Yu Family elders, are not stubborn. Since you've taken a fancy to Rong Jian, let's do this! But Liu'er, you have to think clearly. Rong Jian has no spiritual roots. He will only be an ordinary person from now on. He will not be able to accompany you through life, old age, sickness and death."
The Great Elder's words already showed a compromising attitude. After all, Yu Bie Liu had already said this much, and it was meaningless to insist that they must cancel the engagement.
This is already a threat. What if they continue to fight like this and this rebellious girl chooses to fight to the death?
"Wouldn't it have been better if this had been done earlier?" Yu Bieliu smiled instantly, looked at the elders, and asked casually.
The elders were silent for a while. From the very beginning, they had been thinking about this matter from Yu Bie Liu's perspective.
A young genius would certainly have his own pride, but because of his family, he was passively tied to a useless person without any spiritual roots.
No one should have this kind of...accepting attitude. Even if they obey on the surface, they will always feel uncomfortable in their heart.
At this time, the family no longer needs to form alliances to guarantee its status, and can even choose to abandon the alliance and annex forces to take the family to a higher level.
But the one in her family is different. Not only does she stick with her useless fiancé, she also threatens the elders of her family to continue the alliance... You must know that the first rule of the alliance between the two families is that you cannot attack your allies.
Really... I don't know whether to say she is loyal and righteous, or stupid.
"Well, that's enough." Yu Long said, breaking the strange atmosphere in the meeting room. "Since this matter has come to a conclusion, Liu'er, you can go back first. I will stay and discuss with the elders... the uses of these elixirs and magic tools."
Yu Bie Liu nodded obediently: "Okay, Dad." After saying that, he wanted to walk out of the conference room.
But suddenly, a middle-aged man rushed in with big strides. Yu Bieliu had a vague impression that this seemed to be... a manager of the Yu family stationed in Qingyue City.
As for how she knew it, some time ago, Yu Bie Liu's father gave her a copy of the Yu family file, as well as some powerful figures in Rongcheng, and sent it to the sect.
At that time, she had decided to come back, and in order to avoid being caught in the dark and not knowing anyone, she made some preparations early.
Stepping aside to make way, Yu Bie Liu looked at the middle-aged steward with some curiosity. What had happened that made him rush back to the master's house without paying attention to the station?
The middle-aged steward looked anxious and said, "Master, elders, something terrible has happened!"
"What's the big deal? Just say it!" The third elder complained angrily and glared at him, "What are you making such a fuss about?"
Aren't you the noisiest person here? Everyone was speechless.
"Master, the Tiger King, the Tiger King is showing his might!" A trace of fear flashed across the middle-aged steward's face, and he said in horror, "It happened yesterday."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference room had serious expressions. Tiger King, the one from Tiger Forest?
"What's going on? Tell me in detail." Yu Long asked with a frown.
The middle-aged steward nodded and continued, "Yesterday, a tiger roar was heard in Huwei Forest. Some mercenaries still in the forest brought back news that the Tiger King was enraged and roared to the sky, 'Anyone who harms my wife and children will not be forgiven!' I'm sure the head of the family and the elders have received the news."
"There is indeed news, but from what the Tiger King said, someone has offended his wife and children," the Great Elder replied. "If that's the case, we have no reason to pursue the Tiger King."
If they were in his place, they would also be angry if their wives and children were hurt, and would seek revenge for them.
"The Tiger King didn't stop after he spoke!" said the middle-aged steward. "Not long after he stopped, a gust of wind appeared at the gate of Qingyue City, scattering human flesh all over the gate!"
As soon as the middle-aged manager finished speaking, everyone in the room was shocked!
There is nothing wrong with the Tiger King avenging his wife and children, but mincing people into pieces and spreading them at the city gate is too cruel and excessive!
"The Lord of Qingyue City sent people to investigate and discovered that the deceased was from a mercenary group in Qingyue City," the middle-aged steward paused, "and secretly belonged to the Lord of Qingyue City."
"So what? The city lord is not planning to do anything, right?" Yu Long asked back.
The agreement with the Tiger King was made by the four cities together. If the Lord of Qingyue City wants to do something, he must unite the forces of the four cities and act together.
But this is clearly uniting all forces to avenge one's personal vendetta.
"The Lord of Qingyue City is already making preparations. He is mobilizing other forces in Qingyue City under the pretext of preventing the Tiger King from running rampant. I think they will come to Rong City in a few days." The middle-aged steward replied.
All the elders, including Yulong, frowned. If they all got involved in this matter, it might trigger a war between the Tiger Forest and humans. But if they didn't help... those who died were humans after all.
"Um..." Yu Bie Liu raised his hand silently, "If it's about the Tiger King, I was there yesterday."
Everyone turned their heads, looking at her with distrust. Live? Are you kidding? How could a Spiritual Realm person like you survive the wrath of a Level 5 Tiger King?
Yubieliu pulled her hair and tangled it around her fingertips, playing with it. "If we go against the Tiger King, I think our family should just give up, because the Tiger King... seems to have advanced."
She had noticed this yesterday. The Tiger King rushed over to save his wife and children, and his aura was a little unstable. It must be that he had just advanced and had not had time to stabilize his cultivation.
Otherwise, judging from yesterday's situation, Aunt Tiger and her son were being hunted for a long time, so it wouldn't be that the Tiger King didn't show up and only came over at the end.
"...Liu'er, are you serious?" Yu Long looked at his daughter with a serious expression.
"Really? I'm not lying to you," Yu Bie Liu said. "The mercenaries yesterday didn't just injure the Tiger King's wife and children. They nearly killed the mother tiger and captured the cubs!"
If she had not happened to meet him, the Tiger King, who had just completed his advancement, might have faced the consequences of his wife being killed and his son being taken away.
"This...Liu'er, were you really there?" The Great Elder still couldn't let go of his doubts.
Yu Bie Liu rolled his eyes. "It's up to you whether you believe it or not. That's what I said. How you do it is up to you."
She had better not tell the elders that she had saved the Tiger King's wife and children, lest the elders use this as an excuse to plot against her.
Moreover, when Tiger King made the promise yesterday, she did not take it to heart, but today... she really had something to do and needed Tiger King's help.
If I had known earlier, I should have agreed! Yu Bie Liu hammered his head in frustration and strode out, leaving the Yu family's senior executives with different expressions.
