When Liu Yu saw his father agree, joy and sorrow mingled in his heart. He was glad he could spend another night with his father, but grieved that he would probably never see him again afterward.
"Yes, Father!" Liu Yu kowtowed. "I'll bring them over."
"Go on, go on..." Liu Jinyi waved a hand.
Of course, he knew Liu Yu was going to bring his daughter-in-law and granddaughter over. This would count as their final meeting.
I hope nothing happens tonight. Father, ancestors of the Liu family, please watch over us! Liu Jinyi silently addressed the spirit tablets.
In truth, letting Liu Yu stay was still a risk. After all, he did not know when those people would act. If Liu Yu left earlier, his chances of escaping would be somewhat greater. Once those people actually made their move, it would probably be too late.
But he also knew that if he refused to let Liu Yu stay another night, his son would probably refuse to leave. When this son of his grew stubborn, even he, as his father, could not change his mind.
Many people were destined to go sleepless that night. There was little activity in the Swift Sword Sect, but in a secret chamber, its Sect Master, Zhou Kun, had gathered his elders and the sect's experts, and they were pointing at a map on the table.
At this point, Huang Xiao ought to have been enjoying boundless pleasure. But unexpected things always happened, and he was now rather embarrassed.
With a beauty beside him, he found himself in a difficult position.
It was late at night, and the clamor outside had long since subsided. Only faint, intermittent sounds drifted from the rooms. This was a brothel, and Huang Xiao naturally knew what was happening inside them.
