Berserk God of War-Chapter 1695: Hidden Motives, Offering to a Powerful Backer
Then, Ye Wuyu continued, "Big brother, he asked us to meet him for talks. What should we do now?"
On her way back, she indeed thought a lot, feeling that the situation was quite complicated.
She really feared that this Soul Dominator’s Heir might have some untold motives against Willow Leaf Saint Manor.
At this point, Su Zhenglong said stupidly, "Yue Xi, she was forcibly taken away by someone?"
Since Ye Wuyu never mentioned the name "Sikong Jing," Su Zhenglong was understandably panicking, as any father would be when his young daughter is taken away by a stranger, regardless of the reason.
Yet, as soon as Su Zhenglong finished speaking, Ye Wuyu sternly reprimanded, "Shut your mouth. If it wasn’t for your good-for-nothing daughter’s unmasking, would we have been exploited by the Soul Dominator’s Heir?"
Su Zhenglong trembled slightly from the scolding but could only hold back without daring to speak.
In front of his uncle and aunt, Su Zhenglong felt he was not even as good as a dog, and could only cast a pleading look at Ye Wushen, hoping he would hurry to rescue his young daughter, lest anything terrible happen.
The Soul Dominator’s Heir, who knows what kind of sacred figure he is? Is he viciously ruthless!
At the same time, Ye Wushen and Liu Shizeng exchanged glances, and Liu Shizeng was the first to speak, "We must quickly bring Ye Yuexi back, or else it would be embarrassing. She is supposed to marry into our Liu Family."
The same old story, the Holy Body genius of the Ye Family must marry into the Liu Family.
No matter which man forcibly took her away, if she stays too long and it spreads, it would be extremely detrimental to their Liu Family’s reputation, especially since she must absolutely not stay over a night.
If news spread after a night, it truly becomes inexplicable.
And Ye Wushen was tightly furrowing his brows, thinking that what Ye Wuyu said made a lot of sense; the Soul Dominator’s Heir’s pretext of snatching Su Old Demon’s granddaughter probably harbors ulterior motives.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "We must quickly obtain the Hundred Dominating Souls Soldier Killing Array, that’s certain."
"And seeing the Soul Dominator’s Heir’s powerful Martial Arts Talent that he defeated Luu Wei and the others, it’s likely he truly has the Sacred Body."
"But if he truly has the Sacred Body, why is he being sent to Willow Leaf Saint Manor? It’s possible that Murong Jianyun tossed him here, or it might be some kind of scheme by Murong Jianyun..."
"Whatever the case, what we need to do now is probe."
"First, dispatch someone to negotiate immediately and find out the true intention of the Soul Dominator’s Heir, and then decide the next step."
As he spoke, Ye Wushen looked towards Liu Shizeng, implying to decide who would be suitable to send for negotiation.
Liu Shizeng hesitated for a bit and then said, "Let Shitian go then."
"Since Wuyu is from the Ye Family, the Soul Dominator’s Heir might not fully trust you Ye Family, so it’s better if someone from our Liu Family goes."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushen also nodded slightly, then arranged for someone to call Liu Shitian over.
At this moment, Su Zhenglong suddenly spoke up, "Uncle, why don’t I go along too? After all, Yue Xi is my daughter, maybe the Soul Dominator’s Heir will..."
Before he could finish, Ye Wushen interrupted, "What’s the point of you going? What else can you do besides unlocking the Qianyuan Soldier Fragment? Going there would just provide the Soul Dominator’s Heir an opportunity to exploit you."
Ye Wushen had no regard for Su Zhenglong whatsoever, not caring at all that he was Su Old Demon’s son. Even if he wasn’t, with Su Zhenglong’s useless Martial Arts Talent, he wasn’t worth giving a second glance at...
If not for the inability to remove the Su Old Demon prohibition on the Qianyuan Soldier Fragment, Ye Wushen would have long since gotten rid of this wild seed, Su Zhenglong.
Under the harsh reprimand, Su Zhenglong dared not speak again, and could only worry silently.
Soon, Liu Shitian arrived.
When he heard what had happened, he promptly scolded, "What a troublesome wild seed."
"No problem, I’ll bring that little wild seed back shortly."
"However, Manor Master, regarding that little wild seed marrying my grandson, I think it needs to be put on the agenda. Especially recently, the remnants of Su Old Demon have been very active; she should have a child as soon as possible."
Hearing these words, Su Zhenglong’s face turned dark again, as he bit his teeth and raised his head sharply.
"Uncle Shitian, Yue Xi already has..."
He naturally wanted to say that Su Yuexi already had a husband.
But before he could finish, Liu Shitian interrupted, "Shut up, dare to mention your daughter having a husband again and see if I won’t break your arm. It’s gracious of me not to despise your daughter, and you dare to spout nonsense?"
"And really, when we brought your daughter here back then, did you think we were interested in her Martial Arts Talent?"
"She’s just a tool, a tool to have talented children by merging with my Liu Family, understand?"
Liu Shitian’s spit splattered on Su Zhenglong’s face...
And Su Zhenglong could only grit his teeth, not daring to retort. When they were brought from Canglong Small Domain, both Liu Shitian and Ye Wukui were involved; Ye Wukui was from the Ye Family and was relatively better off, while Liu Shitian was always very displeased with them.
Because back then, Liu Shitian had a grandson who died, specifically left behind to eliminate Sikong Jing.
"Alright Shitian, enough."
"If you continue, he’s going to attempt suicide as a threat again. Hurry up and go... as for the marriage, we’ll discuss it later."
Ye Wushen said lightly, and eventually Liu Shitian had to take his leave.
And just then, Deputy Manor Master Liu Shizeng suddenly made an excuse to give some instructions and went out as well.
Inside the grand hall, only Ye Wushen, his sister, and Su Zhenglong were left.
At this point, Ye Wuyu asked, "Big brother, why do you never agree to let that little wild seed marry into the Liu Family?"
Upon hearing this, Su Zhenglong couldn’t help but look up, ready to listen intently.
But soon, Ye Wushen waved him out of the grand hall, clearly not wanting him to hear.
In the next moment, Ye Wushen coldly said, "Because keeping the Qianyuan Soldier Fragment is exceedingly difficult unless we can promptly create a complete Soldier Killing Map, but there has been no sign even after a year and a half, so it’s almost impossible."
"Keeping Su Old Demon’s granddaughter is to find an opportunity to present her and the Soldier Fragment to some great backing."
"For instance, if the Qianwang Holy Tower truly comes to dominate the world, we could offer Su Old Demon’s granddaughter along with the Soldier Fragment to them, thereby securing a great backing."
Listening to these words, Ye Wuyu’s eyes instantly lit up, nodding heavily and giving Ye Wushen a thumbs up.
Outside the grand hall, Su Zhenglong couldn’t hear these words; he left despondent, urgently needing to devise a plan to rescue his daughter.
He knew that even if Liu Shitian brought her back, his daughter would inevitably face a lot of reprimanding.
Meanwhile, Deputy Manor Master Liu Shizeng caught up with Liu Shitian, saying, "Ye Wushen doesn’t seem eager to have that little wild seed marry into our Liu Family; no idea what he’s up to."
"Regardless, once you bring her back from the Overlord Commerce, take her straight to our house."
"Heh, tonight let Liu Zhi handle her..."
