Free Web NovelChapter 1671: Chapter 1293: Yu Lianyi, the Castoff Burden!
The great river, once glistening, is now filled with floating corpses and stained crimson with blood!
On a nearby giant crocodile’s floating corpse stood several members of the Hidden World Clan, and at this moment, they had actually started a dispute!
Upon seeing this, Gu Changsheng was instantly displeased!
Damn it, she was working herself to the bone just to carve a bloody path, and these Hidden World Clansmen benefiting from it didn’t even bother to cover the rear—and still dared to stage a drama of internal strife at this critical moment!
And what a drama it was...
At the perfect time, damn it!
It was just what she needed to relieve the imbalance in her heart!
Watching adversaries fight each other was something Gu Changsheng truly enjoyed, to be honest!
With his sword propping him up, Zhou Mu had somewhat regained his senses. His face, like a Divine Residence, still bore a sheen of sweat. Seeing his own little woman so engrossed, he couldn’t help but turn his head to look over the great river as well...
"Elder Yuh, just throw her off. Otherwise, we won’t be able to fly across the river!" said one of the Hidden World Clan’s youths, looking disdainfully at Yu Lianyi, who was sitting on the giant crocodile’s floating corpse.
Yu Lianyi, touted as one of the proud children of the hidden clans, had always been the center of attention. Yet now, heavily injured from a battle with a giant python in the Valley of Forgetfulness, she had become a burden! freewebnσvel.cøm
If not for Elder Yuh carrying her all the way, she would already have fallen prey to the man-eating ants!
Upon hearing this, Yu Lianyi’s eyes widened in disbelief!
Throw her off?
Throw her off now? Isn’t that as good as sentencing her to death?
"Father! Father, don’t!"
Her delicate face, already drained of color from blood loss, turned even paler with fear. The moment Yu Lianyi, already exhausted, came to her senses, she crawled to Elder Yuh’s feet and clutched his trousers like a lifeline!
Seeing his daughter in such a state, a pained expression crossed Elder Yuh’s aged face.
His daughter had always been his pride. In Yu Mansion, aside from the most brilliant Yuh Zhiqian, his daughter was the most outstanding and had the greatest potential to conquer the Transformative Realm!
Moreover, since Yuh Zhiqian was already dead, the future of Yu Mansion rested solely on this remaining daughter by his side!
If not for this, how could he have refused to abandon the heavily injured Yu Lianyi, even with his life on the line?
Furthermore, thinking of the concubine still in the Hidden World Clan—Yu Lianyi’s mother—Elder Yuh’s face showed a hint of struggle...
Yu Lianyi’s mother, though of lowly birth and despised, was undoubtedly his beloved concubine. She was her only daughter, and if something were to happen to her, how could he face his concubine’s tears upon his return?
With these thoughts, Elder Yuh found it hard to make a decision...
"Elder Yuh, don’t hesitate. The distance from here to the other shore is difficult for even us to cross without full effort. How can you insist on taking this burden?"
"Yes, Elder Yuh, what if the man-eating ants cross the river? Won’t we all die here, stuck with nowhere to escape?"
"Elder Yuh, make a swift decision. Without this daughter, you have other children. They’ll be equally excellent and will glorify Yu Mansion!"
"Elder Yuh, don’t sacrifice all of us for personal reasons! Tell me, who can carry her across this distance?" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"..."
The Hidden World Clan members spoke one after another, all with indignant expressions!
"What’s more, she’s merely a concubine-born daughter of humble origin. Is it worth delaying over her at such a time? Elder Yuh, you need to think clearly and not get confused!"
"Exactly, with daughters of such low birth, just take a few more concubines. Can’t you have as many as you want? Is it really necessary to be this concerned?"
"Or is it that your Yu Mansion has no other talents besides her?"
"..."
Seeing Elder Yuh still struggling and unable to decide, the words from the Hidden World Clan members grew increasingly sharp!
To the point of openly criticizing her lowly origin right in front of Yu Lianyi...
Listening to the myriad voices, Yu Lianyi’s complexion paled even further, her head shaking incessantly, and tears continuously streaming from her large eyes!
At this moment, Yu Lianyi was truly afraid!
Indeed, were it not for her father never giving up on her amidst the relentless pursuit by the man-eating ants, she would have already perished!
Yu Lianyi understood her father’s nature well. If not for the fact that Yu Mansion had lost Yuh Zhiqian and had no other promising talents, he too would not have refused to abandon her in the face of peril!
Yu Mansion was indeed without other promising talents, a fact Elder Yuh was well aware of!
However, understanding something internally is one thing, but being blatantly exposed by someone is entirely different!
Yu Lianyi was truly afraid that upon having the truth so bluntly revealed, her father might abandon her for the face of the Yu Mansion and leave her here all alone!
"Father... Father, please... I beg you... take your daughter... I’m just injured, there will come a time for healing... Father..."
Yu Lianyi clutched Elder Yuh’s pant leg, pleading desperately, as tears continuously fell.
This was her only hope!
If even her own father abandoned her, what future would she possibly have?
Seeing Elder Yuh still staring across the river without answering, Yu Lianyi became even more anxious, yet she knew there were words she couldn’t say. Once spoken, her father would undoubtedly be enraged and would definitely abandon her!
"Hmph! Yu Lianyi, you still have the face to beg father, if you were truly capable, why don’t you fly across by yourself?" Yuh Zhangzhu, who had always disliked Yu Lianyi, sneered in disdain seeing her in such a pathetic state.
"You!" Yu Lianyi immediately glared over at Yuh Zhangzhu upon hearing those words; she hadn’t expected that her legitimate elder sister, a half-sibling, would say such a thing at this time!
This was truly adding insult to injury, trying to jeopardize her life!
"What are you glaring at me for? If you’re unable to fly across, then don’t burden everyone else. Are you even aware of the distance, and the giant crocodile blocking the way? Who can guarantee they’ll fly across safely with you?" Yuh Zhangzhu replied nonchalantly to Yu Lianyi’s glaring, "You might as well stay here and wait for death!"
"Sister!" Even Yu Qingqiu couldn’t bear hearing Yuh Zhangzhu’s words and couldn’t help but interject with a scolding tone.
"What? Do you want to speak for her? Did you forget, as long as she’s around, father only has eyes for her, not us! Isn’t she supposed to be excellent? Why did she become a burden then? Hmph!" Upon hearing Yu Qingqiu’s words, Yuh Zhangzhu replied immediately, devoid of any noble lady demeanor.
The Hidden World Clan members shook their heads upon hearing Yuh Zhangzhu’s words.
Trying to persuade Elder Yuh to abandon Yu Lianyi was one thing, but as Yu Lianyi’s legitimate elder sister, Yuh Zhangzhu’s words were too callous, lacking sibling affection!
Yu Lianyi, who had always been cherished by Elder Yuh, could no longer hold back her anger after being repeatedly insulted by Yuh Zhangzhu. With eyes full of rage, she glared at Yuh Zhangzhu, gritted her teeth, and said, "Am I not very excellent? Even if I’m not very excellent, I’m far superior to you, a useless drunk! You’re clearly jealous of my better talent and that’s why you say such heartless words! Yuh Zhangzhu, do you think with my death, father’s favor would shift to you? Let me tell you, impossible!"
"In the Yu Family, aside from me, there’s no one else capable of greatness. Do you think you fools can uphold the Yu Mansion? Utterly delusional! You..."
"Shut up!"
But before Yu Lianyi could finish her enraged words, an elderly, cold shout interrupted her.
Upon hearing this voice, Yu Lianyi shivered immediately, and couldn’t help but look up...
Then...
Yu Lianyi saw her father, his face darkened, teeming with inexpressible rage, glaring at her with hatred...
In just a moment, Yu Lianyi felt a chilling despair, couldn’t help but let go of Elder Yuh’s pant leg, retreating two steps out of shock...
Provoked by Yuh Zhangzhu, she lost control for a moment, said the wrong thing, committing such a fatal mistake!
She knew her father’s favor was due to her good talent, but speaking so plainly revealed the utilitarian motives, casting Elder Yuh in a self-serving light...
"Father, father that’s not what I mean, please listen to my explanation, please listen to my explanation..."
Yu Lianyi suddenly panicked, shaking her head repeatedly, speaking with terror...
"What do you mean nothing? Yu Lianyi, you see it as well, we can’t fly across with you, as a daughter of the Yu Mansion, you must understand the bigger picture!" Elder Yuh looked at his daughter, who revealed the lack of talent in Yu Mansion and his favoritism with ulterior motives, with hatred, having already made up his mind...
This daughter cannot be kept!
She can only become a discarded pawn...
"No! Father! Don’t! Listen to what your daughter has to say..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Lianyi felt as if struck by lightning, and in the next instant, she crawled towards Elder Yuh...
However...
This time, Elder Yuh turned and evaded...
"Father..."
Yu Lianyi, seeing this, immediately went pale, her whole being lost its vitality...
This was the Yu Mansion that gave her life and nurtured her, where everyone severed familial ties, devoid of affection, without the slightest trace of kindness, only exploitation...
Was she to be abandoned? Just because she was gravely injured in a confrontation with the Giant Python, to be left in the river to die?
With a deathly pale face, Yu Lianyi gazed at Elder Yuh and everyone around with despair in her eyes, shaking her head repeatedly...
Seeing Yu Lianyi’s gaze, everyone turned their heads to avoid meeting her eyes...
Among those who turned their heads were also Dantai Lan...
