"Then have you ever thought about it? If Lao Fu and I hadn't been sitting in the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce all these years, this place might have been gnawed away by various tribes and nothing would be left. At that time, not to mention accompanying you to live a peaceful life, it was just to stay alive. It will be a luxury hope!" Yan Huaian continued.
Yan Ruyu stared into her father's eyes, "Then why not give up on the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce and choose to live a stable life?"
"Xiaoyu, you are still young and don't know that this world is dangerous. Since your grandfather founded the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce, there have been so many overt and covert competitors. Even if we give up, those people will not let us live. They will not let the factor of stability exist. , threatening them."
After Yan Huaian finished speaking, he paused. He continued: "If we abandon the Chamber of Commerce at that time, without resources, it will only disappear from this world faster."
Yan Ruyu lowered her head and fell silent. She knew that she still thought too simply. In this world of cannibalism, what he saw might only be peace on the surface, but the darkness behind it was far more terrifying than she knew.
"When did you come back?" Yan Ruyu raised her head and asked.
"Not a few days, only about ten days." Yan Huaian said with a smile.
Yan Ruyu's eyes turned red again, "Then why don't you come out to see me?"
"When I came, you two were having sex with each other. I didn't want to come out and disturb you! I didn't come out after that because I wanted to see if the young man was treating you sincerely!" Yan Huaian said truthfully.
He did come for a while.
After his breakthrough, he originally wanted to come to see his daughter, but as soon as he arrived, he encountered Liu Wei causing a scene in the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce. Then, the two of them were flirting and hugging each other, and he was too embarrassed to come out directly.
Yan Ruyu's pretty face turned red instantly, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
oops! I was so embarrassed that I didn't expect that my father would see me.
"Then why didn't you come out after he left?" Yan Ruyu pouted, with an expression that said I don't care, it's all your fault.
Yan Huaian looked at the childish girl in front of him, with a fatherly smile on his face. "When he leaves, I want to see what your attitude will be and whether you really have such deep feelings for him. After all, we have only been together for a short time."
Yan Ruyu glared at her father angrily, raised her head and said, "Now that you've seen it, what are you going to do?"
"To be honest, I can't see through that boy. I've been with him for a few days, but every time I want to find out, I feel like I'm being watched, but I don't find anyone watching. Me. So, there is something weird about that kid." Yan Huaian said.
After pondering for a moment, he continued: "Moreover, on the night when he came to say goodbye to you, I saw him disappear out of thin air without any trace, and then reappear out of thin air at dawn, but his strength improved a lot overnight. Even if you are in the Emperor Realm and can travel through space, you can't do it as silently as he does, so I can't get the slightest clue."
"Who doesn't have some secrets? It's normal for him to have some exotic treasures on his body!" Yan Ruyu said.
"I hope that's just it!" Yan Huaian's eyebrows had a trace of unnoticeable worry.
He couldn't be sure what the young man's intention was in approaching his daughter, but he couldn't see anything strange yet. And that young man really has a rare treasure. What kind of treasure is it?
Let him, a monk who has not yet reached the true realm, do something that even the emperor cannot do.
It would be even more terrifying if there were no treasures. It can only mean that he is hiding his own strength, and his true strength is probably infinitely higher than that of the Emperor, right? Is there anything stronger than the Emperor in this world?
The world is so big and full of wonders. Maybe there really is such a strong person, but it really shouldn't appear in a twelve or thirteen year old boy.
"The daughter wants to beg her father to come forward and save him!" Yan Ruyu said, staring at the middle-aged man in front of her.
"Alas! This kid is involved in the grievances between Wen Guo and various clans. Even I may not be able to protect him!" Yan Huaian sighed.
"Now that you have broken through to the Emperor's realm, can't you save the life of an insignificant young man?" Yan Ruyu said with confusion on her face.
Yan Huaian looked at his daughter, "If it were the previous competition, it might still be effective if I, as an emperor, came forward, but this year's imperial capital competition is different from the past! This year's rules have changed, and these are not just superficial competition rules. It has changed so easily. This is a precursor for Wen State to start a head-on game with various forces."
After a moment of silence, Yan Huaian continued: "Now I just hope that this kid can be less dazzling in the competition and know how to hide his clumsiness. As long as he doesn't die in the ring, there will be less trouble in the future. Once he is too stunning, He will definitely be targeted by various forces and then be roped in. If he fails to be roped in, he will be eliminated by a joint effort."
"Is it that serious?" Yan Ruyu asked.
She thought that only the life and death competition in the ring was the most dangerous, but she didn't expect that the most dangerous thing was yet to come.
"It may be much more serious than what I said!" Yan Huaian had a solemn look on his face.
"So, does your father not intend to come forward to save him?" Yan Ruyu stared directly at the middle-aged man in front of her, waiting for his answer.
"What will happen to you if I don't save you?" Yan Huaian asked.
"If you really refuse to save him, I can only go to the imperial capital by myself and accompany him. Since I can't live with him, then my daughter will die with her!" Yan Ruyu's eyes were firm.
Yan Huaian looked at the girl in front of him, and after a long time he said: "When you grow up and have someone you like, don't you think about your father anymore?"
"I think about my father. When I want my father to be around, where is my father? Now that there is someone my daughter likes, she can only take control of it by herself." There seemed to be tears in Yan Ruyu's eyes.
"It doesn't matter, it's me who can't help you. All these years, I've only been focusing on cultivation and not caring about your feelings, so you no longer have the bond between father and daughter towards me." Yan Huaian said in a lonely tone.
No matter he is an emperor or an ordinary person, he will be sad when his daughter doesn't have much affection for him.
"Since your mother passed away, I wanted to give you the best life, the most resources, and stronger abilities to protect you and let you live a better life. But in the end, I still didn't ignore it. How you feel. I'm not a qualified father. I'm sorry for you, and I'm even more sorry for your mother's expectations of me." When Yan Huaian finished speaking, the corners of his eyes were filled with tears.
Yan Ruyu looked at her father in a daze. She never thought that her father would shed tears in front of her one day. That seemingly hard-hearted man turned out to be doing everything for her.
Yan Ruyu's tears could no longer hold back and dripped down like broken beads. She threw herself into Yan Huaian's arms, hugged his waist, and cried bitterly. Yan Huaian stretched out his arms and held his daughter in his arms, also crying.
"It's my daughter's fault. She shouldn't be so willful. She has failed her father's heart. She has always misunderstood him and treated him coldly!" Yan Ruyu said while crying.
"Father is also at fault. He shouldn't have ignored your feelings. He shouldn't have made you feel neither maternal love nor fatherly love at such a young age. It's my father who is sorry for you!" Yan Huaian cried with runny noses. tears.
The father and daughter held each other's hands and cried for a full hour before they gradually calmed down.
Yan Huaian used his hands to slowly wipe away the tears on his daughter's face bit by bit. He looked at his daughter and said, "I will always accompany you from now on. You can do whatever you want to do, and don't do it if you don't want to do it!"
Yan Ruyu felt as if she had returned to her childhood, being pulled by her father to play and being put on his shoulders to watch the lantern show. She smiled sweetly at Yan Huaian and buried her head in her father's arms again.
"Yu'er, I will go to the imperial capital this time. No matter what, I will save that boy's life. From now on, as a father, I only want you to be happy, and let the rest be as it happens! As for the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce, I will keep it if I can. If you can't keep it, don't give it up." Looking at his daughter in his arms, Yan Huaian made up his mind that even if he risked his life, he could no longer make his daughter sad.
"Father, you are the person I am closest to, and he is the person I love the most. I don't want any of you to be in danger!" Yan Ruyu looked up at her father and said.
After today, the father he once was came back.
"Don't worry, with my father's current strength, if there are not three emperor-level sieges, even if my father is defeated, they will never think of keeping my father!" Yan Huaian's words revealed strong confidence.
Yan Ruyu nodded, but there was still worry in her eyes.
Next, the father and daughter sat on both sides of the desk and started talking about old times. The two recalled the girl's childhood, and Yan Ruyu's laughter and Yan Huaian's laughter could be heard from time to time in the room.
The relationship between father and daughter has finally reconciled, and there is no more bad blood.
...
Inside the black and yellow carriage.
Several people had already had lunch and were all sitting together chatting.
"My friends, we will arrive at the Imperial Capital tomorrow morning. This competition is no small matter. You may all die on the stage of life and death. If you want to withdraw now, it is still too late. Once you arrive at the Imperial Capital, hand in the list and information. Hand it over and there will be no room for regret!" Chen Yi said at this time.
"We're all here, how embarrassing would it be to quit now? Besides, we are not people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. If we still practice hammer now because we are afraid of turning back, our martial arts heart will definitely be shaken. If there are difficulties in the future, we will give up." Silly. The big man spoke first.
"Yes, there is nothing to be afraid of. They all carry one head on two shoulders. They are not three heads and six arms. They are all below the level of the Venerable. Who is afraid of whom?" The big fat man agreed.
Bingyangzi also kept pointing his head straight, "The silly big man and the big fat man are right!"
These words immediately caused the other people to roll their eyes.
