Zongwu: Yue Lao System, grab Huang Rong

Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng Piaoxu looked up and looked at Li Yu with a confused expression, as if he didn't understand why he said such a thing.

　Li Yu did not explain, but just looked at her with a smile.

The two of them were in a stalemate for a moment, and the confusion on Liu Sheng Piaoxu's face disappeared, replaced by a cold and stern look, like a thousand-year-old iceberg, which made people feel cold just by looking at it.

At the same time, her beautiful eyes, which had just been filled with affection, suddenly became sharp, as if two knives were about to shoot out from them and stab Li Yu to death.

Chapter 178 Zhiruo Piaoxu, the name is just like her

Li Yu, however, seemed oblivious to Liu Sheng Piaoxu's hostility and exclaimed sincerely, "How beautiful! You are much more charming now than before."

Every word comes from the heart.

Liu Sheng Piaoxu remained unmoved, and a strong hatred was revealed in her cold and beautiful eyes.

The two stared at each other for a while, and Li Yu was the first to give in: "Okay, from your eyes, I can see that you seem to hate me very much?"

"How can I not hate you?" Liu Sheng Piaoxu finally spoke, his voice cold and more biting than the autumn wind.

Li Yu thought about it and gave a pertinent answer: "If it's just because I like you, you shouldn't hate me so much."

"You like me?" Liu Sheng Piaoxu smiled coldly: "You've never seen me before, and you like me?"

Li Yu nodded truthfully.

Liu Sheng Piaoxu sneered and didn't believe it at all.

But dwelling on this question was pointless, so she asked, "Your desire is to have my father beaten and humiliated, then imprisoned and used as leverage to threaten me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yu immediately determined that something had happened to Liu Sheng Piaoxu that he didn't know about.

"Appreciate further details."

"Why? Don't you know it yourself?"

"Zhu Wusi and I are not the same kind of people. I just made a deal with him. I don't know how he fulfilled his promise."

"I'm the deal?"

"To be precise, one of them! Although you are the most important one."

"Really? It's my pleasure."

Liu Sheng Piaoxu made a sarcastic remark in a neutral tone.

However, thinking of the situation of her father, Yagyu Tajima-no-kami, and the various rumors about Li Yu's strength, she hesitated for a moment and finally spoke out.

If the other person really likes her that much, maybe she can use his power to rescue her father.

As Liu Sheng Piaoxu narrated, Li Yu combined what he knew and gradually understood the cause and effect.

It turns out that Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami was similar to the one in "Number One Under Heaven" at the beginning, both of them were in cahoots with Zhu Wusi.

Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami acts as Zhu Wushi's "white glove" to eliminate dissidents, and as a deal, Zhu Wushi must help the Yagyu family grow and become a major overlord in the East Japan.

However, later, as he came into contact with the Japanese martial arts holy land, Mujutsu Jingu, Yagyu Tajima-no-kami began to have other ideas.

He wanted to kick Zhu Wusi away and climb a thicker and stronger "tree".

As a bridge to maintain the relationship, he thought of marriage.

Marry Liu Sheng Piaoxu to Juetian, the second son of Wushen Jue Palace!

Although I heard that Juetian was cruel, ruthless, arrogant and conceited, none of that mattered. What mattered was that he was Jue Wushen's most beloved son.

Although his brother Juexin was the eldest son, his status was far inferior to his.

As long as they establish this relationship, the status of the Yagyu family will surely rise.

Of course, Yagyu Tajima no Kami did not immediately break up with Zhu Wusi, for fear that the plan would fail and he would end up being caught between a rock and a hard place.

The method he adopted was very simple, that is to delay!

While stabilizing Zhu Wusi, he went to contact Wu Jue Temple.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Wusi's men arrived at this time.

Yu Wei, one of the four dragon guards, took action personally and tortured Yagyu Tajima-no-kami to death, and then captured both the father and daughter and took them to the Huolong Villa.

Yagyu Piaoxu was given to Li Yu according to the transaction, and Yagyu Tajima no Kami was imprisoned to control Yagyu Piaoxu.

If one day Liu Sheng Piaoxu gains favor with Li Yu, Zhu Wusi will have room to plan.

"I see! This matter involves a major martial arts sacred place. No wonder I couldn't figure it out."

Li Yu suddenly realized.

He looked at Liu Sheng Piao Xu and asked, "You want me to save your father?"

Liu Sheng Piaoxu was silent for a moment, then said, "If you can keep him safe, I am willing to stay by your side and serve you."

"That sounds great." Li Yu seemed to be tempted, but then he sighed with regret: "It's a pity that I can't help you."

"Why!"

"Because your father is dead."

"what?!"

Liu Sheng Piaoxu's expression suddenly changed. He stepped forward and grabbed Li Yu's arm, his face full of disbelief: "What did you say? They still want to use me, how could they kill my father?!"

"You misunderstood." Li Yu patted her hand to comfort her: "He is not your father. Your father died eight years ago."

As expected, Liu Sheng Piaoxu was dumbfounded when he heard what Li Yu said.

My father died a long time ago?

The girl's heart skipped a beat, and her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly: "You're not trying to say that the father I am now is an imposter, and the real Yagyu Tajima-no-kami died at Zhu Wushi's hands a long time ago?"

Li Yu saw her skeptical look and knew that she did not believe what he said.

But this is normal. How can the father-daughter relationship of more than ten years be shaken by a stranger's empty words?

Li Yu didn't waste any words. He reached out and took off Zhou Zhiruo's veil.

Liu Sheng Piaoxu glanced at him with a puzzled look, and after just one glance, he was stunned.

That face was exactly the same as hers, as if they were carved from the same mold!

If you say that the two have no relationship, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

"You..." Liu Sheng Piaoxu opened his mouth slightly, but didn't know what to say.

Zhou Zhiruo was also watching her. To be precise, from the moment Liu Sheng Piaoxu appeared, she had been paying attention to her every move.

The same appearance, the special invitation, and Li Yu's previous statement that Liu Sheng Piaoxu's father had died eight years ago...

Zhou Zhiruo suddenly had a guess in her mind.

She looked at Liu Sheng's catkins and murmured, "Eight years ago, my father died in the Han River."

After she finished speaking, she turned and looked at Li Yu.

Feeling Zhou Zhiruo's gaze, Li Yu nodded.

Liu Sheng Piaoxu was shocked and his face was gloomy.

Then I heard Li Yu say: "Nineteen years ago, there was a boatman named Zhou on the Han River who accidentally rescued a woman who fell into the water."

"The woman was grateful and married him. A year later, they gave birth to a daughter."

"That woman was from a wealthy family that had fallen on hard times. She had been well-read since childhood and was quite talented, so they named their daughter 'Zhiruo'."

"Zhi is fragrant and elegant; Ruo is soft, beautiful and fresh."

"Zhiruo is also the name of a herb, divided into Baizhi and Duruo."

"The name 'Zhiruo' symbolizes a mother's best wishes for her daughter, hoping that she will grow up to be a gentle, elegant and beautiful girl."

As he spoke, Li Yu turned around and glanced at Zhou Zhiruo, who was slightly shy.

Zizhi Meiyu is a name that suits his personality.

It is obvious that Zhou Zhiruo lived up to the name.

"The fisherman was overjoyed to have a daughter. However, the good times didn't last long. Six months later, disaster struck. A Japanese warrior passed through the Han River..."

Li Yu paused and glanced at Liu Sheng Piaoxu. The latter's heart tightened and his breathing stagnated.

"He saw the fisherman's wife and fell in love with her, so he abducted her. Fortunately, the woman pleaded for her, and the fisherman and his daughter were saved."

"The fisherman was unable to seek revenge, so he never remarried and raised his daughter alone."

"He didn't know that his wife was already pregnant when she was abducted by the samurai and taken back to Japan."

"Nine months later, the woman gave birth to another daughter."

"The warrior knew the girl was not his and wanted to kill her, but the woman threatened to die, so he gave up."

"Later, the woman named her second daughter 'Piaoxu'."

"Floating catkins, floating catkins, drifting in the wind, lonely and helpless, drifting in a foreign land, unable to return. People are like floating catkins, and their hearts are also like floating catkins."

"But the Japanese warrior's bottom line is that Piaoxu must take his surname, so we have the current...Yagyu Piaoxu!"

After the words fell, Liu Sheng Piaoxu was completely stunned.

She never expected that there was such a story behind her name.

Floating catkins...Floating catkins...

Did my mother have such a past and such hardships? Was she always unhappy and missing her homeland and old friends?

Was it because of her longing that her health became so poor and she passed away so early?

Liu Sheng Piaoxu couldn't help but fall into memories of the past.

If what Li Yu said is true, it would explain why Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami has always favored her elder sister Yagyu Yukihime since she was a child.

It also explains why Yagyu Tajima-no-kami was so harsh on her, and even planned to marry her off to the cruel and brutal Jueten as a tool for marriage.

He didn't just love herself, but because she was not his biological daughter at all!

At this moment, Liu Sheng Piaoxu felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart.

It made her suddenly enlightened, but also made her feel depressed.

The father whom Liu had respected for more than ten years turned out to be her enemy, which made her stunned and confused.
