Zongwu: Yue Lao System, grab Huang Rong

"Yes. I don't understand. We are obviously the closest people, why doesn't he believe me? And... he even insults me. In his eyes, am I... am..."

"...I'm afraid I can't answer this question for you."

Yue Shuisheng raised her head upon hearing this and asked, "If it were you, would you believe everything Rong'er and Yingying said?"

Li Yu thought for a moment and shook his head, "No. But I do believe one thing, that is, they will never do anything bad to me. Even if they do lie to me one day, there must be a hidden reason, a white lie."

Qun Shuisheng was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What about you? Will you lie to them?"

: Li Yu was silent, turned around, took a few steps slowly, and said: "Unless the truth is too cruel, then I will."

Shui Sheng murmured, "I believe this is true."

Li Yu smiled and said, "I won't lie about this kind of thing. If I can't say it, I won't say it."

Shui Sheng brought the wine glass to her lips and drank slowly, her bright eyes flickering slightly, as if she was struggling and hesitating about something.

Finally, she seemed to have made up her mind. She got up from the bed, walked to Li Yu, looked into his eyes, and said, "Then let me ask you a question. Can you tell me the truth?"

Li Yu's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm on the surface and smiled, "Okay, ask."

Shui Sheng pursed her lips, hesitated, and finally, with a trembling voice, asked the question deep in her heart that she dared not touch: "Have you... have you ever done anything... anything to your cousin?"

As soon as the words fell, before Li Yu answered, Shui Sheng's heart began to tighten.

She would never forget the shock she felt when she saw Li Yu using the secret technique of the spirit to perfectly control the Blood Knife Ancestor. Today, Wang Xiaofeng's words and actions were too abnormal, and he was completely different from the gentle and considerate cousin he used to be.

This made Shui Sheng wonder if Li Yu was secretly manipulating her mind, which was why Wang Xiaofeng treated her like this.

After all, although Li Yu never said it explicitly, he never concealed it, and Shui Sheng knew what he was thinking.

So would Li Yu secretly attack Wang Xiaofeng in order to get her?

If it were in the past, Shui Sheng would never have such an idea, but after witnessing the tragedy of Ding Dian and Di Yun a few days ago, she had a deeper understanding of human nature, so she asked this question.

Her question made Li Yu break out in a cold sweat.

It's unexpected!

He really didn't expect that Shui Sheng would think of this and asked it directly.

Before this, Li Yu did intend to do something to Wang Xiaofeng.

However, she did not intend to tamper with Shui Sheng himself, but to provoke him, step by step to lead Wang Xiaofeng to misunderstand Shui Sheng, and then take the initiative to break up with Shui Sheng.

Fortunately, before Li Yu could take action, the "understanding" Hua Tiegan appeared and did everything he wanted to do but had not done yet.

For this reason, Li Yu did not have to put in any effort and could just sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor.

Now Shui Sheng's question really made him scared.

Fortunately, you are here, Hua Tiegan, otherwise I would be in trouble this time!

Now that he had the confidence, Li Yu was very calm and asked, "Which answer do you want to hear?"

Shui Sheng's nervous expression froze. She was silent for a while, and said with a complicated look in her eyes, "I...I don't know."

She was indeed a little confused.

If Li Yu secretly controlled Wang Xiaofeng, what should she do?

Blame Li Yu? Break with Li Yu?

But Li Yu saved her life!

If Li Yu had not arrived in time, her innocence would have been ruined by the Blood Knife Patriarch and the "Three Friends of Winter".

What's worse is that the Blood Knife Patriarch might really do as he said, strip her naked and parade her through the streets.

That horrible scene would drive Shui Sheng crazy just thinking about it.

What's more, Li Yu taught her several magical skills, which made her become a top master in the world.

I'm afraid I'll never be able to repay this kindness in this lifetime.

Therefore, even if Li Yu was behind this, how should she deal with it?

On the contrary, if it was really Wang Xiaofeng's own idea and had nothing to do with Li Yu, then it goes without saying that her relationship with this childhood sweetheart has come to an end.

Either way, the ending was cruel for her.

Seeing her tangled and painful expression, Li Yu didn't keep her in suspense and said frankly: "Okay, I'll tell you the answer."

When Shui Sheng looked over, their eyes met, and Li Yu said word by word, "Listen carefully!"

"I, Li Yu, have never used any means, directly or indirectly, to influence Wang Xiaofeng's mind."

"He treated you like that during the day. It was all his own judgment and choice. I never used spiritual magic to control him!"

Shui Sheng's eyes misted up when she heard this. She was touched by Li Yu's honesty and integrity, but also saddened that her closest cousin actually didn't trust her.

It turns out that those hurtful words really came from his heart.

Li Yu saw her miserable expression and felt distressed. He reached out and grabbed her arm and gently pulled her into his arms. Shui Sheng's head naturally rested on his shoulder.

Maybe he is too sad and needs someone to rely on.

Perhaps out of gratitude for Li Yu's kindness, Shui Sheng felt close to him psychologically.

Perhaps Shui Sheng had long harbored feelings for Li Yu deep in her heart that were difficult to explain, even to herself, but her rationality had always suppressed them, suppressing them until now.

At this moment, Shui Sheng did not push Li Yu away.

Li Yu lowered his head and whispered softly in her ear: "From now on, you will follow us around the world and do justice together, okay?"

The warm air flow hit her round and smooth earlobes, and Shui Sheng couldn't help but tremble.

She was not stupid, so she naturally understood the implication of Li Yu's words.

long silence.

Finally, under Li Yu's expectant and nervous gaze, Shui Sheng nodded lightly and uttered a nasal sound as thin as a mosquito's: "Hmm."

Li Yu heard it clearly and was overjoyed. He couldn't help but stretch out his arms and gently embrace Shui Sheng's soft body.

Shui Sheng's delicate body stiffened, and when she found that Li Yu did not go any further, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense body gradually relaxed.

After a while of tenderness, Shui Sheng stood up from Li Yu's arms, glanced at Li Yu shyly with her bright eyes, but did not dare to look him in the eye, and turned her face away.

Li Yu looked at Shui Sheng's exquisite profile, which was bright and beautiful, and liked her more and more, but he did not take any further action.

Too much is as bad as too little. Shui Sheng still needs time to adapt. It is not advisable to pursue her relentlessly, as that will bring more pressure to Shui Sheng.

Changing the subject, Li Yu invited: "Come on, I'll take you somewhere."

"Where?" Shui Sheng looked over in confusion.

"follow me."

Li Yu said this, and the two of them got out of the white dragon chariot and walked all the way to the side courtyard.

"This is where the servants live. Why did Brother Li bring me here?"

Shui Sheng was puzzled when she saw Li Yu jump over the wall and hurried to catch up.

After walking a few dozen steps, Shui Sheng's eyes suddenly narrowed and she shouted coldly, "Hua Tiegan! 313!"

Not far ahead, an old man was being restrained by two Sky Assassins and was kneeling on the ground.

If it’s not Hua Tiegan, who else could it be?

Li Yu pointed at Hua Tiegan and said, "This old fellow tried to escape at night, but was caught by the Sky Assassins I stationed around the Water Palace."

Ever since he got the "Nijia Mask", Li Yu had no intention of letting it gather dust in the corner.

Every time he stopped, he would release five hundred Sky Assassins, spreading out from the landing point as the center, hiding in shadows, to act as a surveillance and warning.

Although he no longer feared the Martial Saint after acquiring the "Saint-Slaying Flying Knife," if the Martial Saint showed no respect for martial virtue and attacked without a word, he would still be extremely formidable.

At that time, he might not even have the chance to throw the flying knife.

Therefore, for safety reasons, he set up a long "cordon" around the area.

Hua Tiegan thought he had seized the opportunity, but he didn't expect that he would be captured by the Sky Assassin just after escaping from the Water Palace.

Although Hua Tiegan is a mid-stage Grandmaster, and Tian Ci Zhe only has innate cultivation, it is now dark. ⑵

Sky Assassins are naturally elusive, and are even more adept at night. It would be easy for them to sneak attack and capture a panicked Hua Tiegan.

Shui Sheng heard this and became even angrier. She hadn't expected that she had lost her mind for a moment and almost let her great enemy escape.

She channeled her true energy into her palms, looked at Hua Tiegan coldly, and said, "Hua Tiegan, when you were afraid of death and abandoned your sworn brothers, did you ever think that this day would come?!"⑸

Hua Tiegan's mute point had already been pressed because Li Yu was afraid that he would beg for mercy and say something unfavorable to him.

He then said, "Sister Sheng, Hua Tiegan is quite famous in Jingzhou. With your eloquent words and fair mouth, it's hard to believe that the righteous hero Hua actually has such a hypocritical and ugly face."

"Instead of wasting time, it's better to kill him as soon as possible to avoid more trouble later."

"Although it's a pity that he wasn't ruined, it might as well be a good thing."

"If everyone knew Hua Tiegan's true character, he would certainly be despised, but there would also be some gossipy people who would mock your father and two uncles for being blind and mistakenly associating with bandits."

"The dead are gone, so why let them be discussed repeatedly by so many people? As long as we send this old man to reunite with his sworn brothers, the feud will be settled."

When Shui Sheng heard this, she felt that it made sense, so she no longer insisted on her original plan. With one palm strike, she sent Hua Tiegan to the west.

At this point, "fallen flowers and flowing water" have all become a thing of the past.

Chapter 152 Death of Wang Xiaofeng

Li Yu kicked Hua Tiegan's dead body, which was still open-eyed, and considerately poured him a bottle of corpse-dissolving water.

You bring nothing with you when you are born and you take nothing with you when you die. Dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth.

After doing this, the two walked back.

When they reached the wall, Li Yu suggested, "How about we go to Tianning Temple tomorrow and take out the gold, silver, and jewels hidden in the passage behind the big golden Buddha and the lotus seat?"

Shui Sheng glanced at Li Yu in surprise: "Brother Li, are you short of money too?"

Li Yu shook his head: "Of course I have money, but the more of these things, the better. Even if I don't use them myself, I can share them with those in need."

"This is an era where human life is worthless. As we travel around the world, we are bound to witness many tragedies, both natural and man-made."

"With a large amount of gold, silver and treasures at hand, if we sympathize with them, we won't be at a loss as to how to help them."

"Besides, if such a large treasure is left there, what if some unscrupulous person gets it by chance and uses it for evil purposes? Wouldn't that be a shame? It's better for us to take it ourselves."
