Chapter 1895: Chapter 1895: Destined to Fall Through
When the time comes, if Yuu Luo forces him to marry Liao Yu to Yuu Rong, would he agree or disagree?
If he disagrees, Yuu Luo can completely add insult to injury by pleading with High Priest Demon Heart to confront them. But if he agrees, the outcome remains the same; Poison Valley will end up with no footing on the Xilin Plane.
“Surely not, Father. Didn’t High Priest Demon Heart also say that the Liao and Yuu families cannot form a marriage alliance?” Liao Xun said.
Although An Jiuyue didn’t explicitly say it, the implication was clear enough—she definitely didn’t approve of him marrying Yuu Xiang, so she wouldn’t agree to Yuu Rong marrying his sister, right?
“No, even if Yuu Luo has that intention, High Priest Demon Heart won’t let him do it,” he shook his head, speaking with absolute certainty.
But faced with his words, Fusheng didn’t see it that way.
Now, High Priest Demon Heart was, after all, one of the Yuu Family, since her husband was Yuu Luo’s son. Even someone as elevated as the High Priestess would consider Yuu Luo’s feelings to some extent, wouldn’t she?
If Yuu Luo begs An Jiuyue to do this, would An Jiuyue not comply?
“Better to err on the side of caution, Xun. Remember, no one is reliable. You can only rely on yourself. Now that this disaster has been dealt with by your father, even if Yuu Luo wants to target your sister, he cannot succeed, unless he marries Yuu Xiang off to Poison Valley,” he said.
Speaking thus, Liao Fusheng let out a sinister laugh.
Liao Xun pursed his lips and remained silent.
Who said that Yuu Xiang must marry into Poison Valley? Can’t she simply take a husband into her own family?
And, according to what his father implied, if High Priest Demon Heart is so compliant with Yuu Luo’s wishes, if Yuu Luo proposed to High Priest Demon Heart the idea of Yuu Xiang marrying him, Liao Xun, High Priest Demon Heart would agree, right?
This was what he thought, but he dared not voice these thoughts, fearing that his father would find the idea very plausible and might just swing his sword, severing his head from his neck.
His sister’s death was enough; he didn’t want to die a needless death too.
“Father is right. Yuu Luo no longer holds any leverage to coerce Father,” he agreed with Liao Fusheng’s words.
“Exactly. Yuu Luo’s plans are doomed to fail,” said Liao Fusheng, nodding vigorously with approval. Then, he slowly lowered his head, looking at his daughter’s corpse lying in a pool of blood.
“Xun, find a place with good feng shui to bury your sister. She sacrificed herself for the existence of Poison Valley and must not be wronged,” he instructed Liao Xun.
“Yes, Father, I understand,” Liao Xun could say nothing else, only assent. It would be imprudent to claim his sister’s death was unjust, wouldn’t it?
He had seen many Poison Valley Disciples killed for opposing his father’s words, not even elders were exempt. He didn’t wish to end up like them.
Furthermore, in his view, his father was still not old. If he lost his son, he could easily take more concubines and have more children.
“Father, you should go back to your room and rest. I will handle everything here,” Liao Xun suggested.
“Good, I’ll leave it to you,” Liao Fusheng said, satisfied. Stepping over the bloodstained ground, he left.
After he had gone, he disdainfully glanced at the long sword in his hand and threw it into the pool of blood.
This scene was fully witnessed by Liao Xun, who felt a chill in his heart.
His father had once doted on Yu’er, and he had seen it all. Now that he had killed her with his own hands and showed such disdain, he truly was cold-blooded.
