Chapter 184: Chapter 182: The Fate of Cui Ying_1

Old Master Cui looked at Ren Feifan, his eyes filled with an unprecedented vigor.

He was gambling!

He was betting the fate of the Cui Family on Ren Feifan.

"Why me? And, why do you think I would help you?"

Ren Feifan’s eyes narrowed, a curve forming at the corner of his mouth.

Old Master Cui stood up. His body was still robust, and Ren Feifan could even sense a faint flow of True Qi emanating from him.

He was actually a cultivator!

Pity his cultivation level was very low, the aura emanating from him was comparable to a novice. But this energy fluctuation didn’t seem like that of a cultivator’s at all—it was somewhat strange.

Old Master Cui took a seat next to Ren Feifan and continued, "Because you are the only person I believe capable of stepping into Capital City and changing its rules. As for why you would help me, I have compelling reasons and sufficient sincerity to persuade you."

"You’ve investigated me?" Ren Feifan asked instinctively.

Old Master Cui wasn’t at all surprised by this question and boldly admitted, "Yes, I indeed have conducted an investigation on you. I’m aware of everything that happened since you arrived from Lin City, but I bear no malice towards you. I know you saved Xu Guosheng’s son, possess extraordinary medical skills, and have a sham marriage with Xu Shihan. I’m aware you were involved with the police twice, that you re-engineered Elime’s cosmetic serum making it a hot-seller, that assassins from Rakshasa Gate have come after you, and that you have an enemy in Thousand Poison Door. I’m also aware that you’re a cultivator, and the relationship you have with Zhou Chenglong and Yang Xin from the National Security Bureau—all of this I know!"

Ren Feifan was somewhat taken aback. Damn, Old Master Cui had practically been tracking him twenty-four hours a day! How did he know everything?!

Did he have no privacy to speak of at all?!

Ren Feifan felt an immediate surge of displeasure!

This was blatant surveillance!

Seeming to notice Ren Feifan’s displeasure, Old Master Cui said, "The reason I initially surveilled you was because of Cui Ying. I wanted to ensure my granddaughter wouldn’t face any threats or harm. But I never expected you to be such a pleasant surprise. Out of the young talents I, Cui Longcheng, have observed for over a decade, you are the one that satisfies me the most."

A chill ran through Ren Feifan’s heart after hearing these words. Even though Old Master Cui was Cui Ying’s grandfather, when he realized someone was investigating him, intending to use him, he felt no joy. He was not a mere pawn!

"Why should I help you? And do you understand how dangerous it would be for Cui Ying to go with me to Capital City? Therefore, I won’t bring her to Capital City! I absolutely will not!"

Ren Feifan was even somewhat furious. He stood and prepared to leave!

Just then, Old Master Cui’s voice came again, "If you don’t take Cui Ying to Capital City, the people there will come and take her away. She has no choice—by birth, she had no choice!"

Ren Feifan stopped in his tracks, his thoughts becoming increasingly chaotic.

Could it be Cui Ying had a connection with Capital City? Why would people from there want to take her away?

No choice? She had no choice from birth?

"What do you mean by that?" Ren Feifan’s voice was cold as he stood with his back to Old Master Cui, his expression unreadable.

Old Master Cui knew Ren Feifan wouldn’t leave. From the investigation, he knew that Cui Ying and Ren Feifan shared a good relationship and lived in the same villa. The only pity was that Ren Feifan was already married, albeit in a sham one, but... sigh... He let out another long sigh, then continued, "Because Cui Ying’s cursed destiny is to be married to Chen Linglong of the Chen Family in Capital City."

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the entire room was enveloped in a powerful murderous aura, the temperature plummeting. Old Master Cui had never expected the young man before him would erupt with such an intense murderous intent and aura.

Could it be that this young man’s strength was even greater than he had predicted?

How is that possible? He was just a few years old. How could he already possess such power?

Old Master Cui vaguely noticed a thin veil of blood mist radiating from Ren Feifan’s back.

He had heard of true killers possessing an aura that would manifest as a layer of blood mist around their bodies; this mist could even ward off some True Qi attacks from others.

He had always thought this was simply a legend, but he had never imagined it to be true, and, moreover, appearing before his very eyes in the form of this man.

A god of slaughter?

While Old Master Cui was in shock, a bone-chilling voice brought him back to reality.

"You mean, that beast Chen Linglong is betrothed to Cui Ying?"

Upon hearing Ren Feifan refer to Chen Linglong, the young master of the Chen Family, as a ’beast’, it occurred to Old Master Cui that Ren Feifan seemed to hold a grudge against Chen Linglong. This was like heaven helping him.

Old Master Cui replied truthfully, "No, it’s not an engagement. Cui Ying was burdened with the Blood Covenant of a child bride since birth."

Ren Feifan turned around. The blood mist around him was somewhat thicker now, and there were even streaks of red in his pitch-black eyes. He said, "Blood Covenant? Child bride? Explain."

"A Blood Covenant Child Bride is an ancient practice among many great families. When Cui Ying was born, a foreign expert was invited by the Shangguan Family to place a Blood Covenant on her. Once the covenant is made, Cui Ying can only marry the covenanter in this life. To defy it would incur the wrath of the gods. In other words, Cui Ying was destined to be the daughter-in-law of the Chen family from the moment she was born!"

Old Master Cui paused for a moment, then continued, "This is why I say that even if you don’t take her to Capital City, someone else will."

Ren Feifan’s eyebrows furrowed. He had never heard of the term ’Blood Covenant Child Bride,’ but he was familiar with the concept of a ’Blood Pact Marital Engagement.’

This method was extremely cruel, usually involving placing a curse on a child that would accompany them for life, until they were entombed with the covenanter in death!

They would be buried alive!

But now Old Master Cui mentioned a ’Blood Covenant Child Bride,’ and although it differed somewhat from the Blood Pact Marital Engagement, it was undoubtedly problematic!

Generally, such Blood Covenants become increasingly difficult to break over time, the only solution being to kill the covenanter and the curse-caster.

But if the cursed female loses her purity, she would rot to death.

Suddenly, Ren Feifan felt a sense of relief. Luckily, he had not acted inappropriately towards Cui Ying at the villa. Otherwise, he might have harmed her!

When he thought of such a quirky beauty as Cui Ying suffering from a curse from an early age, a deep anger welled up in Ren Feifan’s heart:

"In that case, I’ll take Cui Ying to Capital City. Chen Linglong, whether alive or dead, is someone I need to kill. I don’t mind killing another curse-caster as well!"

Upon hearing these words, Old Master Cui’s face turned as white as a sheet. He hadn’t expected that even before he could explain the identity of the person he wanted killed, Ren Feifan already knew who the curse-caster was!

The way to break the Blood Covenant was to kill both the covenanter and the curse-caster!

It was a secret that he had learned only after decades of seeking guidance from numerous masters and researching in ancient secret books.

But Ren Feifan figured out the solution just after a few seconds of contemplation. How could Old Master Cui not be shocked?!

What kind of monster indeed was he? Where did he come from?!

This was truly terrifying, wasn’t it?!
