Murong De/Story

History
Murong De and Cui Yuan Shan both fell in love with the same lady causing their close friendship to deteriorate. Murong De married her, but she died at a young age due to illness.

Murong De was traveling through South Yue and stumbled upon Li Mo Jun beating Li Mo Ying when they were 6 years old. Murong De said that he could cure the boy's poor health but had to take him to the Mountains. There he becomes Li Mo Ying's Master.

He understands well that Li Mo Ying is an exceptional asset for the sect. Murong De was really unable to help Li Mo Ying past the age of 8-9 and thus they don't really have a Master-Disciple relationship that is meaningful. In order to bind him to the Sect, he encourages his daughter Murong Fei to get close to him and wants them to be married.

Rescued By The Divine Doctor (Ch 650-689)
After Li Mo Ying returns, Murong De promises him that the only way he will bless Li Mo Ying's and Huang Yue Li's marriage would be if he stays and wins the competition between them and the Sect from the West Sky Region. When Mo Yi finally finds Li Mo Ying after Li Mo Ying breaks through the 7th Realm, he tries to stop him from leaving. His threats don't amount to much and Li Mo Ying leaves. He sars o realize how important Huang Yue Li is to Li Mo Ying.

Reconciliation (Ch 1159-1301)
After Murong Fei confronts Huang Yue Li and Li Mo Ying hits her, Murong Fei goes to Murong De and cries about "hat slu". Murong De - afraid of losing Li Mo Ying- is frustrated with her and says: He doesn't like you, and I can't make him. Murong Fei expresses that if Huang Yue Li is dead, hen he will like her. Murong De is flabbergasted and shuts down a conversation about murdering Huang Yue Li because he rightly believes Li Mo Ying will seek vengeance. Murong Fei leaves believing her father is "not on her side."

When Li Mo Ying's illness relapses due to battling with Liu Buyan and remembering his past, Murong Fei, Murong De, Luo Jiyun, Li Lingchuan and other Sect Elders gather around to protect the Sect. Huang Yue Li rushes over and runs towards Li Mo Ying immediately; Murong De is annoyed at his daughter's decision to try to fight with Huang Yue Li as Li Mo Ying is in a literal rage state that even he - her father and Sect Master - can't stop by himself. After Huang Yue Li is able to calm Li Mo Ying, Murong De begins to appreciate her.

Competition (Ch 1302-1417)
Cui Yuan Shan arrives and it is very obvious that he and Murong De have a contentious relationship. At the banquet, Cui Yuan Shan rubs the fact that Murong Fei isn't Li Mo Ying's fiancee like the rumors say to make Murong De look bad.

When a maid appears and tells Huang Yue Li that her seat is not next to Li Mo Ying because she is an Outer Disciple and that is Sect Regulations, Murong De is put in an uncomfortable situation. On one hand he has his daughter pushing Sect regulations, on he other he has Li Mo Ying who he doesn't want to anger; on top of that is Cui Yuan Shan who is fanning the flames by making cutting remarks. He isn't able to control the situation so Murong Fei and Huang Yue Li face off.

When President Hu arrives and is super friendly with Huang Yue Li, Cui Yuan Shan tells President Hu about the reason she looks like she is about to fight Murong Fei and President Hu gets very angry. He explains to everyone what a genius Huang Yue Li is in Armament refining. As President Hu is there to be a neutral mediator, Murong De commands Murong Fei to apologize sincerely to ensure President Hu isn't biased.

When Li Mo Ying agrees to the 70/30 quota split, Murong De mistakenly believes that Li Mo Ying thinks highly of Murong Fei's abilities.

During the competition, Murong De and Cui Yuan Shan trade quips over who wins and loses. He is enraged when Murong Fei is harmed badly by Fang Shaoning. When Huang Yue Li steps up to fight Fang Shaoning, Murong De tries to dissuade her. However, he is ecstatic when he realizes what a genius Li Mo Ying has brought to the Sect.

Core Region (Ch 1510-1631)
Li Lingchuan and Murong Fei return and tell Murong De that Li Mo Ying and Huang Yue Li are dead and killed Leng Yi Feng.Murong De goes into a deep depression and hands over the management of the Sect to Li Lingchuan. He also agrees with engaging Murong Fei to Li Lingchuan.

When Huang Yue Li and Li Mo Ying return to the Celestial Light Sect, Murong De is initially ecstatic. When his daughter is implicated in attempted murder, he still tries to shield Murong Fei causing Li Mo Ying to deny he is part of the Celestial Light Sect. Huang Yue Li consoles him by saying she won't allow Li Mo Ying to kill Murong Fei.

Huang Yue Li and Li Mo Ying plan to nudge Murong De to have Luo Jiyun be the new Young Sect Master to continue to ensure the Celestial Light Sect is a part of thier power base.
