Hua Jiayu was still crying and said, "It's only acceptable for government officials to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light a lamp. Even though you are my biological father, you should not treat me like this! Father, you also have a preference for men, don't you understand your son's feelings?"

He doesn't like men, what the hell does he know! The veins on Huayan's forehead bulged as he suppressed his anger and asked in a low voice, "Who told you that I like men?"

"I heard it with my own ears, and yet you still want to deny it!" Hua Jiayu was infuriated, feeling like she had misjudged her own father. Despite his good looks, he turned out to be a coward who could talk big but couldn't act.

Hua Yan: "... " He had no idea what it meant to hear it with his own ears.

Not hearing a word from her father, Hua Jiayu went over and hugged his thigh, rubbing against it affectionately, saying, "Dad~"

Hua Yan shivered in fear.

"I'm not going to be the emperor, so it's okay to be with men~"

Hua Yan's corner of the mouth twitched as he said, "Speak properly." It's disgusting for a big man to act spoiled like that.

"Daddy~" Hua Jiayu forcefully disgusted him.

Hua Yan took a deep breath and tremblingly pushed him away, sneering: "I don't care if you become the emperor or not. In any case, my son cannot be with a man. Give up, I have already arranged a marriage for you. In three days, we will have the ceremony."

If he marries Jiayang and turns him evil, won't Jiayang kill him? Huajiayu had no choice but to use a trick and loudly declared, "Father, I refuse to marry. Getting married won't help!"

Hua Yan: "Then let's set the bride in place for display!!!"

Hua Jiayu: "..." He must not be my biological father...

After saying so much, Huayan still disagreed. Before leaving, she said that the wedding would proceed as planned, allowing him to prepare well.

Flower Jiayu couldn't help but feel heartbroken at her biological father's cruelty.

Apart from the disharmony in their sex life, she listened to everything he said.

Hua Jiayu squatted in the corner, pretending to pick mushrooms, and thought very seriously about whether Dou Yang would come to find him, and if he did, whether he could take him away.

Then he thought, Dan Yang's golden finger has disappeared, came and went without returning.

He howled in agony while lying on the bed, in such great pain. It confused him, as he couldn't decide if he was feeling both happy and sad, or feeling both sad and happy at the same time.

On the other hand, tragedy befell the Du residence as hundreds of people lost their lives in a horrifying manner. Enraged, the emperor ordered a thorough investigation by the Ministry of Justice. To his dismay, the investigation revealed shocking findings that left everyone terrified.

The appearance of those who died was strikingly similar to the one left by Shen Junren, the demon lord who had caused chaos in both the martial world and the court several years ago. Shen Junren created demonic techniques and had been absorbing others' essence to enhance his own strength. In just half a year, he had killed tens of thousands of people, and his martial arts had reached an unparalleled level, surpassing barriers. Aside from those ancient monsters hidden in the martial world, no one was his match.

People in the capital city were filled with anxiety and speculation. Could it be that the former headmaster of Wudang did not succeed in killing Shen Junren all those years ago? After recovering from his injuries, did Shen Junren return to cause chaos once again?

Hua Yan ordered the suppression of the rumors and also invited the Wudang disciples who hadn't left seclusion to come to the capital city and verify whether the deaths of the hundred people in the Du family were related to Shen Junren.

Just as one group of covert guards left, another group of covert guards arrived, carrying over a dozen corpses towards the Golden Hall.

All the corpse handlers were dressed in black and wore masks. They carried dark golden badges on their waists, and each badge was engraved with a title.

Seeing those waist tags, Huayan's eyelids twitched fiercely.

The leader of the black-clad individuals knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the bodies of Shadow Eleven have been found."

Hua Yan's voice turned cold as he said, "Ying Er, listen."

A black-clothed figure flew out from the hall and sniffed at the corpses below, before standing up and cupping their hands, saying, "The scent of the Sixth Prince is faint, most likely from Du Yang."

Huayan's face grew even more gloomy as he said, "Go to the Department of Punishment and see if the corpse in the Du Mansion carries the scent of Du Yang."
