Upon hearing Liu Yu's question, surprise flashed in her eyes, and she countered, "My father was killed by Liao spies? How can I avenge him?"
"Does Yu Yu have something she can't say?" Liu Yu asked quietly, because he knew that Bai Yehua held the most power in the war against the Jin and Liao dynasties. Even if Master Mu violated military regulations, Bai Yehua could protect him from death. Moreover, Master Mu had fought on the battlefield for decades; how could he betray them?

Shen Yu shook her head. Before she lost her virginity, she did want Liu Yu to help her avenge her father. But now, Liu Yu has given up fame and fortune for her sake. He is powerless and helpless. Fighting against Bai Yehua is like throwing an egg against a rock. He can hardly protect himself!
She had already devised a plan with Prince Hong to destroy the Gao family and Liu Yao'er. As for avenging her father, she would have to wait for another opportunity and absolutely could not implicate Liu Yu again.

Having said that, she stood up to leave, but the Duchess grabbed her sleeve and angrily questioned, "Has Yu Yu gone back on her word?"
