Murong Cheng snorted and said, "Daughter, you really are my good daughter, actually helping an outsider to steal the treasure of my Heartless Valley! I've raised you all these years, and you're such an ingrate!"
Murong Qing quickly said, "Dad, Brother Lin is our savior, and we promised to give him the love flower beforehand. We can't go back on our word!"
Murong Cheng continued to snort, "I'm not going back on my word. Didn't I say that as long as he's willing to stay and become the son-in-law of my Heartbreak Valley, I'd give him not only the Love Flower, but the entire Heartbreak Valley! But he clearly doesn't have that intention, so there's no way I'll let him take the Love Flower away!"
"Dad!" Murong Qing said, biting her red lips, "My feelings are my own business. If you really care about your daughter, then please grant Lin Ge's wish and let him leave with the Love Flower! Dad, I'm begging you, please?"
Murong Qing looked at her father with a pleading expression.
"You!" Murong Cheng said angrily, "You unfilial daughter, you've only known him for a short time, and you're already so devoted to him!"
"I don't care, I'm not kind enough to grant someone's wish! Either he stays today, or he leaves the Love Flower behind, those are the only two choices!" Murong Cheng shouted without room for argument.
"Dad, what's wrong with you..."
Murong Qing looked helplessly and apologetically at Lin Yu, "Brother Lin, I'm sorry, I..."
Lin Yu smiled and shook his head. "Miss Murong, please don't worry about it. I will remember your kindness. Now that I have obtained the Love Flower, no one can stop me!"
If Lin Yu hadn't obtained the Love Flower, he would have been helpless, but now that he has it, with his cultivation level, who can stop him?
Lin Yu, clutching the wooden box, was about to leave.
Murong Cheng's expression changed, and he waved his hand, immediately ordering his men to stop him.
These women dressed in martial arts uniforms are all experts from Juechen Valley, and two of them are even martial arts grandmasters!
Lin Yu's face darkened. "Valley Master Murong, I have no intention of being your enemy, but this Love Flower is a matter of life and death, so I have no choice but to offend you!"
brush!
Lin Yu flashed and escaped the encirclement of the female warriors.
Two grandmasters caught up and simultaneously struck him on the back with their palms.
Lin Yu naturally didn't take this attack seriously. He countered with a palm strike, sending the two grandmasters flying backward instantly.
Bang!
The two grandmasters fell to the ground, spitting out blood, and were momentarily unable to fight.
Murong Cheng's expression changed. He knew that Lin Yu had some skills, but most of them were related to that mysterious big bow and had nothing to do with martial arts. At this moment, he finally realized that this was actually a young grandmaster!
Although he was also a Grandmaster, he wasn't confident he could defeat his opponent. Moreover, continuing the fight would only result in more casualties.
His eyes flickered for a moment, then he immediately waved his hand to stop his other subordinates.
"Lin Huasheng, I underestimated you. Since that's the case, I'll let you go. Go!" Murong Cheng snorted, seemingly unwilling.
Hearing this, Murong Qing breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly urged, "Brother Lin, you should go now, hurry up!"
"Then you..." Lin Yu hesitated slightly, after all, Murong Qing had given him the love flower without his consent, and he didn't know if Murong Cheng would blame her.
Murong Qing shook her head and said, "Don't worry, I'm Dad's own daughter, how could he blame me?"
Lin Yu frowned, then nodded and said, "Okay, thank you!"
After saying this, Lin Yu walked out of the courtyard without looking back.
However, just as they passed the dry well, a sudden change occurred. Murong Cheng sneered and suddenly turned a jade ring on his hand.
Splash!
A sound of a mechanism being activated rang out, and the area several feet beneath Lin Yu's feet instantly collapsed.
It turns out this was paved with stone slabs, and there was a mechanism underneath!
This sudden change caught even Lin Yu off guard, and he fell straight down.
"Brother Lin!"
Murong Qing was startled and hurriedly tried to run over, but at that moment the stone slab closed again, as if it had never been opened at all!
Murong Qing quickly looked at her father, Murong Cheng, "Dad, what's going on? Why is there a mechanism here? I didn't know about it."
Murong Cheng sneered and said, "This trap was deliberately set up to prevent thieves from stealing the Love Flower! Now that this kid has fallen into the swamp gas poison barrier, there is no chance of survival. He only has himself to blame!"
Murong Qing's beautiful eyes trembled violently as she stared at her father with a look of terror on her face. He seemed like a stranger to her. She said in a trembling voice, "Dad, how could you do this? How could you do this? Brother Lin just saved us! How could you do this to him? You're repaying kindness with enmity!"
"Turning kindness into enmity? Hmph!" Murong Cheng scoffed. "He saved me, but wasn't he also looking for an opportunity? What kindness is there to speak of? Daughter, how many times have I told you? People outside the valley are all scheming and driven by self-interest; there's no such thing as true friendship! Just the fact that he encouraged you to steal the Love Flower shows he's not an upright person! Besides, I did all this for you, didn't I? Since he's unwilling to stay and become a son-in-law of the Murong family, then he can forget about leaving alive!"
Murong Qing completely broke down, her eyes filled with shock and anger, as if she didn't recognize her own father.
"Dad, are you really my dad? When did you become so ruthless?" Murong Qing asked, puzzled.
Murong Cheng shook his head. "Your father has always been like this. My Juechen Valley is located in a remote corner of the country. If we didn't have this kind of mentality, we would have been trampled to pieces long ago! For the sake of the continuation of the family, I have to do this!"
"you!"
Murong Qing took a deep breath and nodded emphatically, saying, "Everyone has their own choices. You may be heartless, but I cannot be unjust! Brother Lin saved my father and me, and he shouldn't end up like this. I'll go down and save him now. If I can't save him, then I'll die with him!"
Murong Qing cried out and immediately ran towards the dry well!
"Stop her!"
Murong Cheng's expression changed, and he immediately ordered his men to stop her.
Murong Qing was no match for these experts and was immediately subdued.
"Let go! Let me go! I need to save Brother Lin! Even if I die, I want to die with him!" Murong Qing struggled desperately, but to no avail.
Murong Cheng sneered, "Daughter, I will absolutely not let anything happen to you. You will understand my good intentions sooner or later!"
"Send the young lady to her room and keep a close watch on her. Without my order, she is not to leave the room even a step!" Murong Cheng immediately ordered.
"dad!!"
No matter how much she shouted, Murong Qing was forcibly taken away.
Murong Cheng glanced coldly at the dry well, a sneer playing on his lips. "Kid, blame your bad luck. Tonight is the night of the full moon, and we're just short of someone for a blood sacrifice. You're perfect for us!"
