**Chapter 1784: Are You Selling Your Daughter, Selling the Yu Familyâs Daughter?**
The middle-aged man was named Yu Chengkang, with cultivation at the seventh tier of the God Sovereign realm. His appearance bore some resemblance to Yuzhu.
Seeing the newcomer, Yuzhu immediately stood up and called out sweetly, "Father."
Yu Chengkang snorted, "If I didnât come looking for you, you werenât planning to come back, were you?"
Yuzhu said in a small voice, "Thatâs not true. I just wanted to gain some experience out here."
Yu Chengkang snorted again, "Experience? I think youâre clearly trying to run away."
His tone was somewhat stern, but Lin Moryu could see that he treated Yuzhu very well.
Some emotions, no matter what is said, cannot be hidden in oneâs eyes.
Yu Chengkang didnât enter the pavilion because there was a guest inside. Although the formation hadnât been activated and the transaction hadnât officially begun, rules were rules.
When there was a guest in the pavilion, only the trader and the guest could be inside. No one else could enter without an invitation, and only the trader could extend invitations.
Yu Chengkang looked at Lin Moryu. Lin Moryu had concealed his information, but the God King realm aura on his body couldnât fool him.
When Yu Chengkang looked at Lin Moryu, Lin Moryu had already shifted his gaze to Yu Chengkangâs side.
Beside him stood a young man.
This young man was none other than Song Yi, whom Yuzhu had mentioned.
Song Yi was handsome and elegant, with an extraordinary demeanor.
Although he was only at the third tier of the God King realm, his aura was profound, incomparable to ordinary third-tier God Kings.
Lin Moryu guessed that he probably had the ability to challenge those above his level, truly a genius.
After arriving, Song Yi remained silent, but his gaze was fixed on Yuzhu, his eyes flickering with admiration.
Unfortunately, it was a case of unrequited love.
In matters of the heart, mutual feelings are necessary.
Yu Chengkang spoke again, "Yuzhu, didnât you see that Senior Brother Song has come too? Why didnât you greet him?"
Yuzhu made a sound and gave Song Yi a slight bow, "Hello, Senior Brother Song."
Her words were lifeless, and even the etiquette wasnât quite proper.
Yu Chengkang frowned, somewhat displeased, but Song Yi had already spoken, "Hello, Junior Sister Yuzhu. Itâs been a long time."
Yuzhu made a sound of acknowledgment but said nothing more, instead looking at Yu Chengkang.
The implication was clear: You told me to greet him, and I did.
As for further conversation, there would be none.
Yu Chengkang knew his daughter well. Under normal circumstances, he would have scolded her immediately, but with an outsider present, he still wanted to save face for Yuzhu.
Yu Chengkang looked at Lin Moryu, "Young friend, could you find another trader for your transaction? This old man would like to have a word with my daughter."
As a high-ranking God Sovereign, Yu Chengkang thought that once he spoke, Lin Moryu, a mere God King, would surely agree.
However, Lin Moryu lightly shook his head, "Iâve grown accustomed to dealing with Sister Yuzhu over the years. Iâm not comfortable with other traders."
Yu Chengkang frowned, not expecting Lin Moryu to refuse his request.
This young man didnât give him any face at all.
He had good self-control and didnât argue with Lin Moryu, instead saying, "Then Iâll trouble you to complete your transaction quickly."
Lin Moryu shook his head again, "Thereâs no rush. I have many items to trade, and Iâm waiting for people to arrive."
Yuzhu chimed in, "Thatâs right, we have many items to trade, and theyâre very valuable."
"Father, why donât you wait outside for a while?"
"As for how long it will take, we donât know yet."
At this point, Yu Chengkangâs expression became even more serious, "Yuzhu, you know there are some things you canât avoid."
He felt that Yuzhu and Lin Moryu were cooperating to stall for time.
He simply didnât believe that a mere God King could have anything so valuable to trade.
Yuzhu smiled brightly, "Father, Iâm not trying to avoid anything anymore. The ancestor said that I can make my own decisions about my affairs, and you canât coerce me."
Yu Chengkangâs expression changed, "The ancestor?"
Yuzhu nodded, "If you donât believe me, you can ask the ancestor yourself."
Yu Chengkang snorted, "Do you think you can just ask the ancestor whenever you want?"
Yuzhu didnât care what Yu Chengkang said, "Anyway, the ancestor has spoken. I can make my own decisions. Senior Brother Song Yi, let me say it again: I donât like you, and I wonât marry you. Please leave and donât come back."
"Outrageous!" Yu Chengkang shouted angrily, instinctively about to rush in.
Yuzhu snorted, "Father, donât forget the rules."
Yu Chengkangâs raised foot was put down again.
By now, Song Yiâs expression had become very unpleasant. Yuzhuâs blunt rejection made him lose face.
If it had been in private, that would have been one thing, but there was an outsider present.
Lin Moryu was leisurely sipping tea with a smile, looking like he was enjoying the show, which made Song Yi extremely unhappy.
Song Yi tried hard to suppress his anger, "Junior Sister Yuzhu, I truly like you."
Since things had come to this point, Yuzhu completely let go, "You like me, so I have to marry you? There are plenty of people in this world who like me. Should I marry all of them? Did you queue up?"
"You think that just because you proposed to my father, I have no choice? Following me around like a stinking bug wherever I go, do you know how annoying you are?"
"Please go find someone who likes you and whom you like, okay?"
Yuzhu spoke rapidly and urgently, revealing her true nature. Song Yiâs face grew increasingly unpleasant.
Yu Chengkang hadnât expected his daughter to speak like this suddenly and couldnât react for a moment.
Clap, clap, clap!
Applause suddenly rang out. Lin Moryu was clapping his hands, "Well said. Matters of the heart should be mutual. How can there be forced marriages?"
"To outsiders, it might seem like the Yu familyâs daughter has no suitors."
Yu Chengkang said in a low voice, "Young friend, this is a matter of my Yu family."
Lin Moryu smiled, "I am Yuzhuâs friend. Speaking up for a friend seems only natural to me."
Song Yi finally couldnât hold back, "You brat, do you know the status of the Yu family? Do you know who I am?"
Lin Moryu laughed out loud, "If weâre talking reason, letâs talk reason. If weâre talking feelings, letâs talk feelings. Why bring up status now?"
Yuzhu echoed Lin Moryuâs words, "Thatâs right. Always talking about status. So what if youâre from the Song family? Iâm from the Yu family. Is our Yu family inferior to your Song family?"
"Silence!" Yu Chengkang shouted sternly.
Yuzhuâs words had directly raised the issue to the relationship between the Yu family and the Song family.
This way, even Yu Chengkang couldnât bear the responsibility.
Yu Chengkangâs face was full of anger, "Do you know what youâre saying?"
Yuzhu snorted, "Do you know what youâre doing? Youâre selling your daughter, selling the Yu familyâs daughter!"
Yuzhuâs words were extremely sharp. Yu Chengkang felt for a moment that the daughter before him was somewhat unfamiliar.
In his memory, Yuzhuâs personality did have a touch of feistiness, but she would never say such things.
At this moment, he noticed Lin Moryu. When Yuzhu spoke, her gaze unconsciously turned to Lin Moryu.
"These words must have been taught by this boy." Yu Chengkang suddenly realized that Yuzhuâs strong reaction today must be related to the young man before him.
Song Yi seemed not to have realized the seriousness of the situation and instinctively said, "Itâs not like that. Junior Sister Yuzhu has misunderstood."
