Chapter Fifty-two: The Master's Intention

  "Your Highness, without rules and regulations, nothing can be accomplished, and etiquette cannot be abandoned." Song Zhi interjected.

  Wang Yu thought for a moment, right, if they're not allowed to call him "Your Highness", what else can they call him? Should he let Song Zhi and Song Lu call him "Yu Er"? Ugh, just thinking about it made his skin crawl. Wang Yu could accept Zhu Yu Xian calling him "Yu Er", and Dan Mei calling him "Yu Er" was also acceptable, but if Song Zhi and Song Lu, two grown men, called him "Yu Er", he really couldn't take it.

  No longer bothering with formalities, seeing that Song Yu Hua and Song Yu were both staring at him, Wang Yu didn't beat around the bush either, saying directly: "Miss Yu Hua, from start to finish you haven't realized a problem?"

  Song Yuhua was taken aback, then asked: "What's wrong?"

  "You married Jie Wenyong, which is a demotion. It's the good fortune of Duzunbao. As long as you don't want to, no one can do anything to you. Jie Wenyong wouldn't dare to provoke you for fear of offending the Song family. To put it bluntly, if you marry into their family, they'll have to treat you like a Bodhisattva. Even if you want to find a lover, Jie Wenyong will have to actively help you arrange it." Wang Yu's words were astonishing, and everyone in the pavilion was shocked into stunned silence.

  It took Song Yuhua a while to come back to her senses, stuttering: "But... but..." But nothing came out for half the day. Since childhood, Song Yuhua had been deeply influenced by Confucian education, and the Three Obediences and Four Virtues had been ingrained in her bones. At first, when she heard Wang Yu's rebellious words, her instincts told her that this was not right. However, it seemed as if there was a devil in her heart, constantly tempting her: what Wang Yu said made sense.

  Of course, it's very manipulative. Wang Yu's idea is to follow the rules of the princess's marriage in his previous life. It's said that the emperor's daughter doesn't have to worry about getting married, but in reality, men with some ambition won't choose to marry a princess. The title of imperial son-in-law looks high and mighty, but it's actually a very humiliating profession. Not only will you be overshadowed by the princess's glory for the rest of your life, but even your actions need to be approved by the princess in advance. Being an imperial son-in-law is tragic to this extent.

  Song Yuhua is equivalent to the eldest princess of the Song faction. For Duzunbao and even the entire Bashu, the Song faction is a behemoth that cannot be offended. Offending the Song faction would bring catastrophic disaster to Duzunbao. In this situation, as long as Song Yuhua herself does not want it, the Jie family will likely not dare to move against her. Of course, there is still a possibility that Jie Wenyong might act impulsively. When men reach this point, they can become hot-headed and reckless, ignoring consequences.

  Song Zhi's eyes lit up, and he said: "Yu Hua, although the prince's words are somewhat unconventional, they're not a bad idea. However, Prince, what if the Ye family really lays hands on Yu Hua? The land of Ba-Shu is remote, and although the Song clan can be Yu Hua's backing, after all, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Moreover, Big Brother and Ye Hui have always had a good relationship, so we can't let Big Brother take the lead directly."

  I knew you'd ask that, Wang Yu thought to himself with a sly smile. He intentionally left a weakness, only then could he make the human emotions complete. A good deed done thoroughly, send the Buddha off to the west. Wang Yu had already considered the Song sisters as his own family, of course, he wouldn't neglect this matter.

  Facing Song Yuhua's somewhat eager eyes, Wang Yu smiled and said: "Don't worry, Uncle Zhi, I'll take care of this matter. I guarantee that Duzunbao won't dare to mess with Yuhua."

  "Oh, I wonder what Your Highness plans to do?" Song Shidao also became interested.

  "It's very simple. Dusheng Fortress, although it claims to be in charge of Bashu, is not a major force in the world at all. Even within Bashu, there are existences that Dusheng Fortress cannot afford to offend. Miss Yu Hua is going to Bashu for her marriage this time, and I will also go with her. Coincidentally, I have a senior whom I want to visit in Bashu. At that time, I will ask him to give Xie Hui a warning. With the warning from that senior, even if Xie Hui had a hundred times more courage, he would not dare to let Xie Wenlong touch Yu Hua's hair. Whatever Yu Hua wants to do in Bashu, she can do it, and even after marriage, living in the Song family, I dare guarantee that Dusheng Fortress will not have any objections." In fact, it is simply relying on power to bully others.

  The senior in Wang Yu's mouth is naturally "Demon King" Shi Zixuan. Jie Hui can be considered the number one master of Bashu, and even if he looks at the world, he can be considered a first-rate person. However, his actual martial arts are only equivalent to Wang Yu's current level. Compared to Shi Zixuan, the gap cannot be described in words. Wang Yu knew that Shi Zixuan's secluded residence was in Bashu back then. Nowadays, Shi Zixuan's whereabouts are mysterious and unpredictable, often appearing and disappearing suddenly. However, Shi Qingxuan still lives in the secluded residence, so Shi Zixuan must also be lurking around frequently.

  With Shi Zixuan's reputation, Jie Hui would definitely not dare to disobey Shi Zixuan's orders. It can be said that for the people of the world, although Song Men's power and wealth are great, but compared to Shi Zixuan, they are more terrifying. This is because Shi Zixuan not only controls the Huajian Sect of the two factions of the Six Paths, but also serves as the master of the Butian Pavilion in the Six Paths. The Butian Pavilion specializes in assassination, and Shi Zixuan can be called the number one killer in the world. Although with Shi Zixuan's martial arts skills, he no longer needs to use assassination methods. However, a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow, and no one will gamble with their life on this, nor would Jie Hui.

  As for how to persuade Shi Zhi Xuan to help Wang Yu, Wang Yu's trip was specifically to ask Shi Zhi Xuan to come out of retirement and pay his respects. Shi Zhi Xuan and Ci Hang Jing are sworn enemies, as long as Wang Yu slightly reveals the fact that Ye Hui has a secret crush on Fang Qinghui, Shi Zhi Xuan will definitely be very happy to help Wang Yu with this matter. He might even kill Ye Hui in a fit of rage.

  "Your Highness, who is that senior you mentioned? Is he very powerful? More so than Father?" Song Yu asked persistently.

  "Hmm, let's just say that he and Song are on par with each other. As for his name, it's not convenient to reveal it for the time being," Wang Yu said mysteriously. This matter isn't ready to be revealed yet.

  Although Wang Yu glossed over it, Song Zhi and Song Lu exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with incredulous expressions. The reclusive Ba Shu's martial arts skills were on par with his older brother's. Could it be...

  The two of them were relatively old, and the things they had experienced far exceeded what Song Shidao and the Song sisters could compare to. With just a few words from Wang Yu, the two almost guessed it, but neither dared to believe it.

  Wang Yu hastily changed the subject and said: "Actually, Yuhua sister, if you don't mind, there are several ways to solve these problems."

  "Oh? Is that so?" Song Yu's eyes lit up as he asked, "Your Highness, what other methods do you have?"

  Wang Yu rubbed his nose and a sly smile spread across his face as he said, "I'm going to Bashu now, and I'll take care of Xie Wenyuan along the way. Won't that be perfect? Trust me, I still have what it takes."

  "How can that be?" Song Yuhua exclaimed in surprise. Although she was unwilling to marry Xie Wendong, Song Yuhua's kind nature still couldn't bear the thought of him dying unjustly.

  "Alright, since Sister Yu Hua wants to let him off the hook, I won't kill him. I'll castrate him instead, how's that? This way, we don't have to worry about him having any ill intentions towards Sister Yu Hua."

  "This is about right." Song Yuhua nodded in satisfaction, suddenly coming back to her senses and irritably saying: "Your Highness, what are you talking about?"

  After scolding Wang Yu, Song Yuhua couldn't help but laugh. Ah, this Wang Yu is quite interesting.
