Chapter 174: The Wedding Ceremony.
Upon hearing the news that the Hengshan Sect and the Huashan Sect were preparing for a marriage alliance, the representatives of the Hengshan Sect and the Taishan Sect looked rather uneasy.
The Taishan Sect has very few female disciples, while the Hengshan Sect is composed of nuns, so marriage between them is basically out of the question.
That doesn't mean they're happy for the Huashan Sect and the Hengshan Sect to form a staunch alliance. You have to understand that this kind of alliance of interests is very different from a staunch alliance.
For example, if the Demonic Cult were to launch an attack, and we were to discuss who would be the cannon fodder, do you think the Hengshan and Huashan sects would be able to lead the charge?
Even if the Songshan Sect wanted to go, they could simply refuse, since the two factions combined were no less powerful than the Songshan Sect.
As for the idea that they're leaning towards the Songshan Sect, that's just wishful thinking.
The Songshan Sect is strong and well-equipped. These two families already have a tense relationship with the Songshan Sect, so going there would only make them cannon fodder.
Thinking of this, Master Dingyi and Master Dingxian of the Hengshan Sect immediately thought of Yilin, whom Yang Ke had saved before, and planned to have her come out as a liaison between the Hengshan Sect and the Huashan and Hengshan Sects.
They did save each other, so they shouldn't be too hostile towards the Hengshan Sect, right?
Yang Ke ignored these matters. After Liu Zhengfeng announced their engagement, the Liu family began preparations.
Well, what Yue Buqun means is that although the Huashan Sect has gained a lot in the past six months, they still have to go back eventually.
If I go back to the Huashan Sect and then come back, it will be at least half a year later.
Instead of dragging it out for so long, why not get Yang Ke and Yue Lingshan's wedding done in the next few days?
Oh wow, look, most of the martial arts world has come to Liu's mansion. They've retired from their profession and are going straight to the wedding. That's great.
Many martial arts practitioners who came to Liu's residence to retire from the martial arts world were not surprised. After all, they were women of the martial arts world, and talking too much about formalities would only make them a laughing stock.
However, Yilin from the Hengshan Sect was not in a good mood, because although she didn't really want to talk about what happened that day, she kept thinking about Yang Ke.
She was very upset to hear such news when she came with her master to attend Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony.
Yang Ke doesn't have time to deal with Yi Lin right now; he mainly needs time and a good opportunity to change her mind.
Unfortunately, the Hengshan Sect was facing a host of troubles, so he naturally found a suitable opportunity.
After agreeing to hold the wedding three days later, Yang Ke left the Liu residence under the pretext of needing to go back to Yangjiazhuang to make arrangements.
Actually, he was going to find Ren Yingying. The two had agreed to meet in Hengyang City to discuss rescuing Ren Woxing, so they couldn't delay any longer.
Soon, Yang Ke found the mark left by Ren Yingying, which the two had determined when they met in southern Fujian.
"You are Yang Ke, the young master of the Hengshan Sect?"
As soon as Yang Ke entered the courtyard where Ren Yingying lived, a voice came from inside.
"That's right, but will it have any impact?"
Yang Ke knew that Ren Yingying was quite capable, and it wasn't difficult for her to know his situation.
"You are a righteous person, why are you willing to help me rescue my father? What exactly do you want?"
Ren Yingying couldn't help but have wild thoughts, after all, Yang Ke was a member of the righteous Hengshan Sect.
"I don't need to do anything. Do you think Ren Woxing would be happy to let Dongfang Bubai take everything from him and remain silent?"
"Since he can't stay silent, isn't it normal for me to save him and cause chaos within the Demonic Sect?"
Yang Ke shared his thoughts.
"Of course, I'm not doing all this for nothing. I'll only help you rescue your father if I get paid."
The Four Friends of Meishan are not weak, and if they die, Dongfang Bubai will know immediately, so there is still a risk. Yang Ke naturally wants to take advantage of the situation.
"what do you want?"
Ren Yingying knew all along what would happen if she rescued Ren Woxing.
But she naturally couldn't bear to see her father imprisoned and suffer.
It would be better to rescue Ren Woxing first, and then we can talk about other things.
"What I want is very simple, it's you."
"As long as you agree, even helping you deal with Dongfang Bubai is not a problem."
Yang Ke stated his purpose directly.
"I don't understand. Just for me, you're willing to save my father and help me fight Dongfang Bubai?"
"You know, Dongfang Bubai may not be invincible, but based on what I know, he's not far off."
In Ren Yingying's eyes, she is now a huge problem.
If the Demonic Sect knew that she had rescued Ren Woxing, they would be furious.
You should know that Ren Woxing didn't have a good reputation in the Demonic Sect. Although Dongfang Bubai isn't much better off now, at least he doesn't kill people so easily.
I didn't see Ren Yingying go to arrest Qu Yang. She said he was dead, but no one investigated it further.
At the same time, if Ren Woxing were to reappear in the martial world and people knew that Yang Ke had saved him, the righteous path might find an excuse to target the Hengshan Sect, which was something Ren Yingying couldn't understand.
If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it. You can treat this as a business deal.
Yang Ke knew that what he was doing was indeed strange to Ren Yingying, even a conspiracy.
"Think it over carefully, and I'll come back to see you tomorrow."
Yang Ke waved and left, leaving Ren Yingying deep in thought.
"Phoenix, what do you think about this?"
After Yang Ke left, Ren Yingying asked about what was happening inside the room.
“Holy Maiden, I think he’s right. No matter the purpose, it’s a deal. It’s just a matter of whether you need to do it.”
"Has the Left Envoy still not found the leader's whereabouts?"
The person inside the room was naturally Lan Fenghuang, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect.
"Although the Left Envoy says he is loyal to my father, he is also somewhat wary of him."
"According to him, if we rush to rescue him, it will only kill my father."
Despite his apparent favoritism towards Ren Woxing, Xiang Wentian's actions often appear to be driven by self-interest.
He was afraid that if he rashly rescued Ren Woxing, Dongfang Bubai would come after him, so what was the point of rescuing Ren Woxing in the first place?
Ren Yingying didn't say much, but she had already made her decision.
Upon returning to Yangjiazhuang, Yang Ke immediately sought out Qu Feiyan and explained the reasons for his marriage to Yue Lingshan.
"Brother Yang, don't worry, I won't overthink it. After all, I'm already very grateful that you took me and my grandfather in."
Qu Feiyan is now very dependent on Yang Ke, so naturally she won't be angry.
"Yanyan, you're the best girl."
"Don't worry, you'll be treated the same as Ling Shan from now on."
"It's just that your identity isn't suitable for you to show yourself right now, and I need the support of the Huashan Sect."
"When the time is right, I will publicly acknowledge your identity."
Yang Ke patted Qu Feiyan's head and started making grand promises to her.
"Yes."
Qu Feiyan nodded and then continued practicing her skills.
Yang Ke glanced at the layout of the manor, gave some instructions to his five loyal subordinates, and then left it to his own devices.
His adoptive father passed away a few years ago, and if it weren't for Liu Zhengfeng's connections, there wouldn't be many people on his estate.
Recently, because of his marriage to Yue Lingshan, the steward has brought back 10 maids.
And so, the next day, Yang Ke came to the courtyard where Ren Yingying lived again, waiting for her final answer.
