  "How dare you speak to the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect in such a tone!" With a loud creak, the door of the Buddhist hall was suddenly pushed open from outside.

  Xu Ruying looked up to see the newcomer, and with a wronged expression, she walked forward and bowed to the middle-aged man who had pushed open the door, calling out in a spoiled tone: "Uncle Wang."

  Wang Sen had never seen Xu Ruyin show such respect to him before, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud of himself, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "Just now, I heard that someone was speaking wildly and wanted my niece's life," he said.

  He wouldn't have recognized the man, Zhu Yinglong, last night, nor would he have guessed his identity. However, now that he has learned from Shen Xi about the internal power struggle between the two major factions of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong, it seems that the "Uncle Wang" mentioned by Xu Ruyin is indeed the leader of the Xiangxiang Sect, Wang Sen. The young man with a gloomy face behind him should be his son, the Young Master of the sect, Wang Haoxian.

  It's come to this, and regret is useless. Zhu Yinglong took a step forward, clasped his fists according to Jianghu rules and said: "I'm Shen Ying, the one who just spoke those words!"

  Wang Sen looked at Zhu Yinglong with surprise, then turned to Shen Xi and said: "Shen brother, your family has been thriving lately, haven't you? You actually have such an arrogant young man!"

  Shen Xi's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly, "Brother Wang is overpraising me. It's normal for young people to be a bit arrogant."

  Zhu Yinglong looked at Shen Xi with a strange expression, really couldn't believe that such philosophical words could come out of his mouth, and he was able to say them so calmly, which made him admire him greatly.

  As expected, as soon as Shen Xi said that, Wang Sen's face turned iron-green. Originally, he had thought that by coming in, he could use his aura to suppress others, but he hadn't expected to be suppressed by Shen Xi's attitude, which didn't put him in its heart at all. He couldn't help but take over the conversation and say: "Shen younger brother is right, being proud is not a problem, but it seems that your nephew is a bit too arrogant?"

  Shen Xi calmly said: "Shen Xi has already passed the position of family head to his nephew Shen Ying, now the affairs of the Shen family are managed by him!"

  Zhu Yinglong secretly thought that Shen Xi also had a bit of quick wit, he knew that this situation was probably beyond his control, so he simply pushed everything onto himself. He stepped forward and said: "I'm now the new head of the Shen family, please give me more guidance, Uncle Wang!"

  "No need for politeness, I just heard that you want me to take Xiang's life as a substitute for my niece's, is this true?" Wang Sen asked coldly, staring at Zhu Yinglong.

  Zhu Yinglong wasn't afraid of a rough and tumble Jiang Hu's gaze, he still smiled and said: "There is such a thing, but it's not my fault, it's your niece who doesn't understand the rules. I had no choice but to threaten her!" Even Zhu Yinglong himself felt that his words were somewhat convoluted.

  "Uncle Wang, Shen family uncle and nephew came to my niece's mansion last night, saying they were here to propose to my niece. They also said that this was a marriage arranged by my father before his death. You should take charge of Ruoying." Xu Ruoying pretended to cry out.

  What a wicked person, this girl is poisonous, Zhu Yinglong took a breath of cold air, and was actually hit by Shen Xi's words. Xu Ruyin is indeed a wolf-like heart, not to be trusted lightly. Wang Sen's back, Wang Haoxian, secretly glanced at Zhu Yinglong's body, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

  Zhu Yinglong calmly thought for a moment, this time he absolutely couldn't show weakness. He secretly gave a signal to Xiong and Lu behind him. The two of them immediately exchanged a glance, understanding each other tacitly, and slowly moved towards the entrance of the Buddhist hall. Then he said: "There is such a thing, Uncle wanted to form an alliance with Master Xu through marriage back then, but unfortunately Master Xu died early. This matter was only a verbal agreement at that time, but since Miss Ruo has not had a suitor all these years, my uncle brought me here to propose, which can also be considered as following Master Xu's last will."

  Xu Ruyin was stunned by Zhu Yinglong's words, which were well-reasoned and flawless. Her father had died at the hands of Ming Ting without leaving any last words, so it was possible that this was true. This was originally her plan to drive out the tiger and swallow the wolf, but suddenly a fiancé appeared out of nowhere, and her mind couldn't accept it all at once.

  Wang Sen suddenly let out a few cold laughs and said, "Shen Xian nephew, you've come at an inopportune time. As it happens, Ruo Yin niece has already accepted our Wang family's betrothal gift and will soon be marrying your son Shen Xian as my Wang family's daughter-in-law."

  Zhu Yinglong feigned indignation, pointing at Xu Ruyin: "Ruyin, how could it be like this? Last night you said you didn't promise to marry into the Shen family. We fell in love at first sight, under the flowers and moonlight, we made a vow of eternal love, but I didn't expect you to have two irons in the fire! I, Shen Ying, was wrong about you!"

  Xu Ruyin only now knows what it means to reap the whirlwind. She had originally wanted to use Wang Sen and his son to deal with Shen Cai and his uncle, so that she could sit back and reap the benefits. But this Shen Ying was too cunning, and in one fell swoop, he had turned the tables on her, accusing her instead. In that case, the Wang family father and son would certainly not help her.

  Wang Sen indeed believed it to be true, while Wang Hao Xian stared at Xu Ruyin with eyes full of desire. The father and son both wanted to swallow this beautiful thing whole. He asked: "Ruyin, is what Shen Jiaxian said really true?"

  Xu Ruyin's mind is now a mess, she doesn't know how to answer and is on the verge of tears.

  Xu Ruying's crying made Wang Sen and his son half-believe and half-doubt, thinking back to what Shen Ying said when they first arrived about wanting Xu Ruying's life. They became even more suspicious of Shen Ying's words and turned to ask Zhu Yinglong: "Since Shen Xian nephew and Ruying niece promised to be together for life last night, why did he say this morning that he wanted to take her life?"

  "Oh, Uncle Wang was asking about this..." Zhu Yinglong pretended to think for a moment, then suddenly shouted: "Take action!"

  Actually, the actions of Xiong and Lu had long been anticipated by Wang Sen, an old hand who had not stopped monitoring them with his peripheral vision. When Zhu Yinglong shouted "Take action!", Xiong Tingyi and Lu Haotian swiftly rushed towards the door of the Buddhist hall, attempting to trap Wang Sen and his son inside like catching turtles in a jar. However, Wang Sen and his son were no ordinary people either, and they had already anticipated Xiong and Lu's intentions. They had taken up their positions early on, and as soon as Xiong and Lu made their move, they followed suit. Although they hadn't needed to take matters into their own hands for many years, their sharp instincts for sensing danger were still intact. Their enemy was not Xiong and Lu, but rather Zhu Yinglong who had shouted "Take action!".

  "Didn't expect this, did you?" Zhu Yinglong said with a smile to Wang Sen and his son.

  Facing two guns pointed at their heads, Wang Sen and his son could only surrender.

  "What kind of person are you?" Wang Haoxian was surprisingly calmer than his father and asked a very proper question.

  Xiong and Lu swiftly closed in on the door, each with a knife. The heads of Wang Sen and his son fell to the ground. Who would have thought that they would die so unjustly, without even knowing their opponent's true identity?

  Xu Ruying, despite being a seasoned veteran, was taken aback by the sudden appearance of two freshly severed heads at her feet. The four lifeless eyes stared up at her, and the pungent smell of blood filled the entire Buddhist hall. Wang Sen and his father had been sworn enemies for years, and Xu Ruying herself had suffered much humiliation from this father-son duo over the past three years. She never thought that they would both die in front of her on the same day. They were once the masters of the Jianghu world, feared by all. The young man's words still echoed in her mind: "Kill them, and they will be killed." Xu Ruying now felt a chill run down her spine as she realized the terror of this young man. Especially when Wang Haoxian asked his last question, which she had clearly heard. There was only one explanation - the Shen family had already pledged allegiance to this mysterious young man. The once-wealthy Shen family had surrendered to him. Xu Ruying's mind was now filled with questions: what was this young man's true identity?

  Zhu Yinglong could no longer bear the bloody atmosphere here, turned around and said to Xu Ruyin: "I think these two human heads should be able to help you decide what to do next!" Then he took Shen Xi and three others and left the Buddhist hall, with no one daring to block them outside the door.

  "You're a demon!" Xu Ruyin screamed towards the sky! The little maid, Xiaoru, beside her had already fainted from the bloody scene earlier.
