Emperor’s Domination

ng clearly. This person is very important. You are trying to protect him and his position and reputation.

“So, if he is a strong man in a prestigious position, theres nothing wrong with him marrying someone he likes. Moreover, from what youve told your daughter, he is extraordinary and single. But the most important thing is that your daughter has never seen her father, at the very least from when she began to have memories. It shows that the two of you havent been together for at least five years. You two dared to birth to a daughter but why not stay together? One plausible explanation is that he was working hard to win the recognition of your clan so that the two of you could make your relationship public.”

He smiled and stared at the shaken woman: “What kind of man would want to win your clans recognition on top of being powerful and prestigious? Let me take a guess, it must be a disciple from your Wenren Clan but his last name isnt Wenren!”

She turned pale after hearing this. Li Qiye knew that his guesses were right so far and continued on: “Ill keep going. Your daughters name is Huaiyu so its as clear as day that your lovers name has the word “Yu” in it. You gave her this name because you miss him.”

With that, he looked at the white flower in front of her dress and said: “To add to all of these speculations, I know that there is a particular group in the Grand Sea, a branch of the dragonfish belonging to the demon race. This race is elusive due to inhabiting in the depth of the sea. It has a particular tradition. When a member of this race dies, his family, every five years, would wear a spectral flower to remember him. Your daughter is seven now and you are wearing this special flower, it means that your husband came from the dragonfish branch. Moreover, he has died five years ago. Your appearance in Renowned means that he was buried here. You brought your daughter here to commemorate him. Furthermore, he was buried in your clans cemetery. Thats how you were spotted.”

“You…” Lurui was indeed frightened and took several steps back with her wide-open eyes staring at Li Qiye.

“Who, who sent you here!” He got it right completely.

Li Qiye chuckled and denied: “Does someone need to send me? Rich experience, extensive knowledge, and some bold guesses. Not that hard to figure out.”

She looked at him as if he was a ghost and felt that there was no place to hide before his peering eyes. Under his calm eyes, she seemed to be completely naked.

It took her awhile before she removed her glare. This Li Qiye knew too much.

“Dont bother.” He saw her eyes slightly moving and knew her intention: “Trying to silence me is very unwise. If I dare to sit here, it means that Ive never been afraid of you or anyone for that matter!”

She eventually took a deep breath and regained her wits: “What do you want?”

“What do I want?” He shook his head: “Why does everyone thinks I am plotting something? To be frank, you have nothing worth my effort. In terms of beauty, you are indeed a little pretty but if I want women, I just need to signal and women ten times as beautiful as you would come running to serve me. As for treasures, you dont have any worth mentioning, same with your clan.”

Lurui had no response. She might not be a supreme beauty but she was definitely number one in Renowned and enjoyed great fame. Moreover, her clan was quite prestigious but Li Qiye spoke as if it was not worth a single coin.
