Chapter 214

"Since you are unwilling, Senior Ren, then I, this young man, naturally cannot force you!"

"Between Ren Yingying and me, it can only be considered a fate without a future!"

"Please tell Senior Ren and Ren Yingying that I have left. Consider it my, Wen Hua's, failure to live up to her!"

As his voice fell, Wen Hua did not bother with Ren Woxing any further and turned to leave directly!

Hearing these words from Wen Hua, Ren Woxing was completely stunned!

Originally, Ren Woxing had intended to use his daughter to manipulate Wen Hua, but he never expected that he would actually choose to let go!

Although by a twist of fate Wen Hua had done almost everything Nephew Linghu Chong did in the original story, Wen Hua was, after all, not Nephew Linghu Chong!

Nephew Linghu Chong might have been manipulated because of Ren Ren Yingying, but Wen Hua was different!

In the original story, Wen Hua was a very free-spirited person.

Even after a long separation from Xu Fengnian, they would just share a meal of wine and meat, squat together to relieve themselves, and then go their separate ways!

Some people come, and some people go; this is the Daxi Jiang Hu!

This temperament of letting meetings and partings follow fate is Wen Hua!

He was so free-spirited even with brothers for whom he was willing to lose his hands and feet!

Could a woman tie down Wen Hua's heart, which yearned for the freedom and ease of the Daxi Jiang Hu? Naturally, that was impossible!

"Presumptuous!"

Staring blankly at Wen Hua’s departing figure—he was truly leaving with long, steady strides without the slightest hesitation—Ren Woxing immediately became enraged from embarrassment.

He shouted loudly: "You have failed my daughter so, and you think you can just leave like this? What kind of place do you take my Sun Moon Divine Sect for?"

As his voice fell, Ren Woxing leaped forward, pouncing toward Wen Hua.

At the same time, he struck a powerful and heavy palm down toward Wen Hua!

Sensing Ren Woxing’s attack, Wen Hua hurriedly turned back and raised his arm to block the move!

A surge of great force rushed in, forcing Wen Hua to take several steps back, feeling his internal organs churning!

"Senior Ren, what is the meaning of this?"

Wen Hua’s expression also turned cold as he stared at Ren Woxing and said: "You say I failed Ren Yingying, but it was clearly you who stood in our way!"

"Furthermore, although you are the leader of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, I am not a member of your sect. You cannot throw your weight around as leader on me!"

"Finally, no matter how you look at it, I saved you from your predicament and helped you regain the position of leader; you owe me, don't you?"

"Yet now you want to strike at me?"

"Are you really going to repay kindness with enmity?"

Silence. Faced with Wen Hua’s blunt questioning, Ren Woxing fell silent, unable to figure out how to respond for a moment!

Of course, the main reason for his silence was that Wen Hua’s words were all reasonable and justified; he had no grounds to refute them!

"This brat, he truly infuriates me..."

Staring angrily at Wen Hua, Ren Woxing was so furious he felt like he was losing his mind!

Ever since he regained the position of leader, Ren Woxing’s entire temperament had become incredibly inflated; he was completely in the mindset of "those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me perish!"

Yet, Wen Hua actually showed him no respect? He even dared to openly challenge him?

This made Ren Woxing feel that he was losing face!

However, the palm he had just struck only forced Wen Hua back a few steps, which secretly shocked Ren Woxing!

Since when had Wen Hua’s cultivation broken through to the Grandmaster realm!

Ren Woxing could not be mistaken; if this brat’s cultivation had not reached the Grandmaster realm, it would have been impossible for him to block his palm and only retreat three steps!

Thinking back to when Wen Hua was only at the Innate realm, he could already display the power to challenge those above his level when combined with that exquisite sword art.

Now that his cultivation had broken through to the Grandmaster realm, if he were to use that sword art again, it would surely be even stronger, right?

Although Ren Woxing had great confidence in his own Wu Gong and believed that defeating Wen Hua should not be a problem!

However, if Wen Hua was truly determined to leave, it would not be an easy task to keep him!

"You brat, have you really decided to leave? Ren Yingying, and the position of Vice Leader of my Sun Moon Divine Sect, cannot move you?"

After a long silence, Ren Woxing suppressed the anger in his heart and wanted to make one last attempt!

Shouldn't a man’s goals be career and beauty?

Now that both were offered on a silver platter, Wen Hua was still unmoved?

Was this so-called Daxi Jiang Hu freedom really that important?

Faced with Ren Woxing’s question, Wen Hua did not answer, but his silent attitude was already an answer to Ren Woxing!

"Sigh, go then!" After a long silence, Ren Woxing suddenly felt his anger subside significantly and waved his hand in a bored manner!

..... 0 ...

Ren Woxing had complex feelings about Wen Hua!

On one hand, he was angry at his lack of ambition!

A real man, standing between heaven and earth, should naturally accomplish something to not waste his time in this world, right?

But him? He only thought of traveling the Daxi Jiang Hu and living a free and easy life!

On the other hand, Ren Woxing felt a bit of admiration in his heart!

Most people who don't want to pursue a career do so because they lack the ability, so they end up rotting away!

But with Wen Hua’s talent and Wu Gong, he could achieve great things. He had even agreed to be his son-in-law; who else could he hand the Sun Moon Divine Sect to in the future?

Yet, he could remain unmoved by such an inheritance.

At the very least, Ren Woxing knew he couldn't achieve such indifference to fame and fortune, but that didn't stop him from admiring those who could!

"Senior Ren, the Daxi Jiang Hu is neither big nor small; we shall meet again!" Hearing what Ren Woxing said, Wen Hua nodded and then walked out of the great hall!

"Wen Hua, Wen Hua..."

Just as Wen Hua was preparing to descend Black Wood Cliff, a female voice rang out, and Ren Ren Yingying trotted over to Wen Hua’s side!

"Are, are you really going to abandon me?" Arriving at Wen Hua’s side, Ren Ren Yingying said with teary eyes!

"Ren Yingying, although I want to be with you, if Senior Ren refuses, there is nothing I can do!" Wen Hua shook his head at Ren Ren Yingying frankly!

"Can't you stay for my sake?" Ren Ren Yingying asked next!

"No!"

Wen Hua was not embarrassed and shook his head frankly: "I will not wrong myself for the sake of others, and likewise, I do not wish for you to wrong yourself for me!"

"Therefore, I will not stay, and I will not make things difficult for you by asking you to come with me!"

"In my view, fate—fate means that both sides are together and neither feels wronged; that is true fate!"

"Otherwise, if it is uncomfortable from the start, there will inevitably be no good ending!"

Open and honest. Faced with Ren Ren Yingying’s question, Wen Hua’s answer was very open and honest!

And this answer of his indeed left Ren Ren Yingying with no way to refute!

Although Ren Ren Yingying also hoped Wen Hua could stay for her sake.

But he was right; he yearned for a Daxi Jiang Hu of swift revenge and gratitude, like an eagle yearning for freedom. If she forced him to be bound, that would only be her own selfish thought!

"What if I don't feel wronged?" After a moment of silence, Ren Ren Yingying said!

These words made Wen Hua’s eyes light up: "If you don't feel wronged, then, Ren Yingying, are you willing to leave with me and roam the Daxi Jiang Hu together?"

"I am willing!" Hearing Wen Hua’s invitation, Ren Ren Yingying nodded with a smile.

Afterward, the two of them left Black Wood Cliff together!

"Where are we going?" After descending Black Wood Cliff, Ren Ren Yingying asked curiously!

"Naturally, we are going to find the Divine Physician Li first, so he can eliminate the threat of the Three-Corpse Brain-Spirit Pill for you!" Wen Hua said with an "it goes without saying" expression!

These words made Ren Ren Yingying’s expression joyful!

Although he was unwilling to stay for her sake, after leaving Black Wood Cliff, the thing he valued most was still her condition of being poisoned by the Three-Corpse Brain-Spirit Pill!

Regarding this, Ren Ren Yingying was quite satisfied in her heart!

……

"Leader, the Young Lady has left with Young Hero Wen!" In the great hall, Xiang Wentian came to report!

Hearing this, Ren Woxing was not surprised, but after a moment of silence, he waved his hand helplessly: "A grown daughter cannot be kept; let her go!"
