Chapter 840 Love at First Sight

Hearing this, Yu Daohan nodded, "Alright, one person is one person."

Indeed, the Li family had done this very well.

This not only ensured that the Yin Yang Xuan Ling Array would not be easily obtained by outsiders but also eliminated the risk of it being lost to time.

Li Wangsheng continued, "Currently, only I, the Grand Elder, and my daughter know the Yin Yang Xuan Ling Array. The Grand Elder needs to guard the sect, so he naturally cannot accompany you. The only one who can go is my daughter."

Upon hearing this, Yu Daohan smiled, "Patriarch Li is willing to let his daughter risk her life?"

Li Wangsheng shook his head and cut to the chase, "I don't think Master Yu would say that. Threats are built on equal footing. The current Li family has no strength to contend with Master Yu."

Yu Daohan smiled faintly and said no more.

He had to admit that Li Wangsheng saw things very clearly.

If he wished, he could completely destroy the Li family or threaten them with their entire clan to hand over the Yin Yang Xuan Ling Array.

Yu Daohan looked at Da Hu and Su Lai beside him, signaling if they had anything to say.

Da Hu and Su Lai understood what Master Yu meant and both shook their heads.

Seeing them shake their heads, Yu Daohan then looked at Li Wangsheng and said, "Since Patriarch Li has said so, then this matter will be handled this way."

Seeing Yu Daohan agree, Li Wangsheng called out to the disciples outside the door, "Quickly, call the young lady here."

"Yes."

The disciple took the order and strode towards the housing in the back.

The elders beside them looked at Li Wangsheng, especially the Grand Elder, Li Wangqi.

He had wanted to say something, but out of respect for Yu Daohan's presence, he kept silent.

They all knew in their hearts that handing over the Yin Yang Xuan Ling Array was inevitable.

However, letting the young lady go was somewhat inappropriate.

Li Wangsheng had two sons and one daughter.

One son had already died in the battle of Ghost City, and his most beloved youngest daughter, Li Mumu, absolutely could not be harmed.

This was their concern.

Li Wangsheng had long seen the expressions on their faces and understood what they wanted to say, but he pretended not to.

After the time it took to brew a pot of tea.

A graceful young woman walked in.

The woman looked to be around twenty-four years old, dressed in a white dress, appearing like the eldest daughter of a scholarly family.

Although her appearance was not stunning, she was at least considered beautiful.

Moreover, twenty-three was the prime age for a woman.

The woman was extremely polite. She first bowed to the elders present, and then looked at Li Wangsheng, "Dad, the disciple who came to call me has already told me."

Li Wangsheng looked at his daughter and nodded, "Mm, so what is your choice?"

Li Mumu did not hesitate and nodded in agreement, "I am willing to go."

Hearing this, Li Wangsheng continued, "Dad never forces you. This matter is the same. You don't have to go if you don't want to."

Li Mumu shook her head, her eyes firm, "It is my duty as a daughter to contribute to the Li family."

Seeing Li Mumu's determination, Li Wangsheng was filled with relief, but also with self-reproach.

He had doted on this little girl since she was young, never letting her suffer any grievances.

It was out of necessity that he asked her to go today.

Li Wangsheng nodded and agreed, "Alright, Father respects your choice."

Li Mumu had a faint smile on her face from beginning to end.

Although she did not appear overly sad, it was evident at a glance that this smile was not voluntary.

Su Lai, sitting next to Yu Daohan, had not taken his eyes off Li Mumu the entire time.

Yu Daohan coughed lightly beside him and whispered, "Stop looking, you're about to drool."

Su Lai ignored Yu Daohan, his gaze still fixed on Li Mumu, unwilling to look away.

Yu Daohan was utterly speechless.

Had this guy been bewitched?

Da Hu beside him smiled faintly and said nothing.

He knew that Su Lai had fallen in love at first sight.

Li Wangsheng looked at Yu Daohan and said, "Although my daughter appears young, in terms of array mastery, she is second only to me in this family."

At this moment, Li Mumu also looked at the three of Yu Daohan and bowed respectfully.

Yu Daohan and Da Hu merely nodded slightly in return.

Su Lai, however, flashed a lecherous smile and flattered her, "So Miss Li is so formidable, a true array master."

Li Mumu smiled faintly and humbly replied, "Young Master Su is too kind. I have merely studied arrays more, and dare not call myself an array master. However, please rest assured, I will teach your sect disciples the Yin Yang Xuan Ling Array with all my effort and without reservation."

Su Lai was completely smitten. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "With Miss Li's guidance, I believe there will be no problems."

Yu Daohan and Da Hu were helpless.

It seemed that Su Lai had truly fallen for Li Mumu.

After all, the smile on his face was so wide it was about to split.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Yu Daohan looked at Li Wangsheng and prepared to take his leave, "Since that is the case, we shall take our leave now."

Li Wangsheng nodded, then looked at Li Mumu with reluctance, "Girl, if there's anything you want to take, you can go pack it."

Su Lai beside him chimed in, "That's right, if you want to bring a couple of people to take care of you, that's fine too."

Li Mumu smiled faintly, "Young Master Su is overthinking. Although I am the eldest daughter of the Li family, I am not so pampered as to require that."

Su Lai awkwardly raised his single arm and scratched the back of his head, saying sheepishly, "Sorry, I was being presumptuous."

Li Mumu shook her head, her face still bearing a smile, "Young Master Su is also thinking of me, there's no need to apologize."

Su Lai didn't know what to say and could only smile awkwardly without speaking.

Li Mumu then said, "I have some things to pack, please wait a few minutes, you three."

Yu Daohan nodded and smiled politely, "Miss Li, please take your time."

Su Lai nodded repeatedly, "It's fine, it's fine, Miss Li, take your time packing."

Li Mumu nodded, then turned and walked towards the door.

Watching Li Mumu's retreating back, Su Lai's face showed a hint of dejection.

Alas, such a beautiful and moving woman, how could he be worthy of her?

Seeing Su Lai's dejected expression, Yu Daohan patted his shoulder and whispered, "Old Su, don't be discouraged, you still have hope."

Hearing this, Su Lai looked at Yu Daohan with surprise, "Is that true?"

Yu Daohan nodded and smiled, "When has your brother ever lied to you?"
