"It wasn't me." Yu Bie Liu said angrily, "This was all done on the initiative of that little bastard Xu Xinla!"
"Xu Xin..." Yu Long searched for the name in his mind, and then the corners of his mouth twitched. "If Dad remembers correctly, the leader of the Yantian Sect is surnamed Xu. The so-called "little bastard" you mentioned... are you referring to the son of the leader of the Yantian Sect?"
"Yeah, that's right." Yu Bie Liu took a big bite of the chicken and suddenly became proud. "But he's not feeling well either. He's still lying in bed recovering from his injuries."
Yu Long was a little confused: "...You beat up the young master?"
Yu Bie Liu raised his eyebrows: "Yes, Dad."
Covering his heart with one hand, Yu Long waved his hand with a look of pain: "Don't call me dad, I can't bear it."
He's just the head of a small, impoverished family. He has no power to fight back against a powerful force like the Yantian Sect! Daughter, how could you cause such trouble?
Yu Long hugged himself tightly, looking weak, pitiful, helpless, and yet so damn handsome!
You Han's mouth twitched, and she slapped her husband in the face, "Get out!"
Yu Bie Liu rolled her eyes, speechless at her father's dramatic nature. If she really got into trouble and angered the Yantian Sect's leader, how could she still sit here and eat peacefully? The corpse would probably be cold!
Wiping the oil stains from the corners of his daughter's mouth with a handkerchief, You Han said, "If you don't want to cancel the engagement, just send a message back. You don't have to come all the way back."
"I miss you and dad!" Yu Bie Liu said with a flattering smile, "Don't worry, mother. My master knows about my return."
"That's good," You Han smiled. Her daughter had been away for many years, and now she was back, so she was naturally happy. "Have you told your master how long you'll stay at home?"
"Hmm..." Yu Bie Liu pondered. She came back this time mainly for Rong Jian. After all, she had accepted a mission from the Heavenly Dao, so she had to be attentive no matter what. "When the sect accepts disciples next time, I will go back with them."
After receiving a satisfactory answer, You Han smiled even more happily: "No matter what, I can't fall behind in my cultivation!"
"I understand, Mom!" Yu Bie Liu agreed and buried his head in eating.
Yu Long rubbed his high nose bridge, which had been slapped by his wife. "So, Liu'er, what is your attitude towards Rong Jian?"
What could her attitude be? Her attitude towards creatures like the Son of Destiny, haha... If the success or failure of these people didn't depend on whether she could completely escape from the prison, she guaranteed that the grass on the Son of Destiny's grave would be three feet high!
Yu Bie Liu bit her chopsticks, suppressing the bitterness in her heart: "Rong Jian, are you okay... Yeah, I'm okay..."
Yu Long and his wife exchanged a glance, neither of them expecting their daughter to actually have feelings for Rong Jian. They also knew they couldn't look down on Rong Jian simply because he lacked spiritual roots; after all, this wasn't something Rong Jian could decide on his own.
But... as parents, we always hope that our daughter can find a good home.
"Anyway, Liu'er, you decide on the engagement yourself," You Han said. "If you like it, keep it. If you don't like it, we're not afraid of the Rong family."
"Right!" Yu Long said seriously, "Daughter, follow your own ideas. I'll help you with the rest!"
The marriage contract is tied to the alliance between the two families. Canceling it would mean that the Yu family is on the side of betrayal. The Yu Long couple had previously pressured the elders not to touch the marriage contract lightly because they were concerned about this.
But now, the two of them easily handed the decision-making power to Yu Bie Liu, and would rather bear the blame than let their daughter suffer.
Blinking, Yu Bie Liu replied: "I have already stopped the Third Elder." That was her attitude. Marriage, no withdrawal, it's impossible for someone... to like someone. To her, Rong Jian was just a little brat who needed her to teach him a lesson... the kind that needed to be taught.
"Okay, Dad will go meet the elders later to see what other tricks they have up their sleeves!" Yu Long made the decision.
"Dad, I'm with you," Yu Bie Liu grinned innocently, "How can we make the elders shut up? I have a way!"
…
Yu Family Elders' Hall.
"This is too much!" After hearing the servant's report, the Third Elder slammed his hand on the table, furious. "This Yu Long, does he still take us seriously?"
The third elder was furious at this moment, not only towards Yu Long, but also towards Yu Bie Liu.
You know, yesterday, Yu Bie Liu severely humiliated the Rong family's patriarch in front of an outsider. As a result, in the end, he couldn't even learn a lesson from him. He was taken away from the Rong family in disgrace by Senior Qu who came from Yantian Sect.
The daughter is ignorant, and the father is the same, he is simply arrogant!
The elder raised his hand and stroked his beard, looking calm: "Don't worry, Liu'er finally came back, it's only natural for her to be close to her parents."
"Isn't the Rong and Yu families' engagement, as important as it is, less important than a father-daughter reunion?" The Third Elder continued angrily, "Do you really have a clear understanding of what is important and what is not?"
The Third Elder glared at the First Elder, feeling aggrieved. "What's wrong with Big Brother? Hadn't he always insisted on breaking off the engagement with the Rong family? Why is he so calm today?"
"Priorities, haha... What's the rush about this? Didn't Liu'er stop the cancellation of the engagement yesterday?" The Second Elder narrowed his eyes at the Third Elder and rolled his eyes. "This is Liu'er's marriage, she can decide for herself. It's none of your business to meddle in it."
"What do you mean by meddling?" The Third Elder slammed the table. "She is the future of our Yu Family. How could she marry a useless person who can't cultivate?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Bie Liu's voice came from outside the house: "Uncle San, you're going a bit too far. Rong Jian is my future husband, your future niece-in-law, and you're calling him a waste. You're really calling me, your niece..."
Entering the meeting hall, Yu Bie Liu looked around at the elders of the Yu Family and continued with a bright smile, "Very unhappy!"
Upon hearing this, the elders in the conference hall had different expressions. What the third elder said was correct. All the elders present were considered Yu Bie Liu's elders.
So, what's going on with Yu Bie Liu? With that defiant tone and that arrogant look, doesn't she really seem to take them seriously?
Yu Long then walked in, glaring, and slapped his daughter on the head, "What the elders do or say, is it your turn to be unhappy?"
After saying that, he seemed to feel that he had gone too far, and put his hand on Yubieliu's head and rubbed it gently.
Yubieliu: "..." Feeling distressed? Then if you have the guts, just stop hitting me!
Pulling his daughter to the top, the seat of the head of the family, Yu Long lifted his skirt and sat down.
Then he raised his eyes, and just like his daughter just now, he looked around with contempt: "Well, we are here, father and daughter. What do you want, elders? Tell me directly."
