Deng Jingyun's words surprised many people and they were stunned for a while.

Those who knew him better even suspected that Deng Jingyun had been possessed by another spirit.

In fact, among Lin Xiaoran's many admirers, Deng Jingyun was one of them, and he was the more sincere one. He was one of the few admirers who actually took practical action to propose marriage. It was said that he sent a long list of gifts to Yunjian Pavilion as a betrothal gift to marry Lin Xiaoran.

But the result was that Lin Fengtian returned the gift list without even looking at it, and Deng Jingyun's proposal was also politely declined.

This matter was widely circulated in Dongzhou at that time. After all, Deng Jingyun was an outstanding figure among those who proposed marriage. But even such a figure was rejected by Lin Fengtian, which made many people wonder if Lin Fengtian didn't want to marry his daughter at all.

Before today's banquet, many people thought that Deng Jingyun would either not come or come to slap Feng Shao in the face. But who knew that this guy would congratulate Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran right away, as if he was not the one who proposed before.

Many people looked at each other in confusion, completely unaware of what Deng Jingyun was up to.

Guan Shuo thought about it for a moment, then immediately understood. He laughed softly and said, "Deng Jingyun is as sensible as ever!"

Fang Yiming also said: "Indeed. Deng Jingyun often seems to do things without any rules, but in fact he has his own deep meaning. He did this this time because he obviously found that this engagement was not something he could shake. In this case, he simply changed his mindset from trying to please Yunjian Pavilion to trying to please Yunjian Pavilion's son-in-law. As the young city lord of Qianyun City, if he can establish a good relationship with Yunjian Pavilion through Feng Shao, it will be beneficial to the development of Qianyun City."

Guan Shuo nodded in agreement.

Just as Guan Shuo and Fang Yiming guessed, Deng Jingyun came here just to establish a good relationship with Feng Shao.

As the weakest of the five super first-class forces, Yunjian Pavilion is also the object of flattery by many people. And because it was established a short time ago, it is much easier to flatter Yunjian Pavilion than the three holy places and Longhua Temple. Therefore, since the day when Yunjian Pavilion established its status as a super first-class force, there have been people who have tried to get closer to Yunjian Pavilion in various ways.

Among all the ways, marrying the little princess of Yunjian Pavilion is undoubtedly the best. Not only that, but you can also get a beautiful bride with peerless appearance. Who can refuse such a temptation?

That's why Deng Jingyun proposed to Yunjian Pavilion to marry Lin Xiaoran.

Deng Jingyun asked to marry Lin Xiaoran out of his desire to gain the support of Yunjian Pavilion, but he had already decided that if he could really marry Lin Xiaoran, he would no longer be polite to other women. But he did this not because of deep affection, but because he knew that only by treating Lin Xiaoran wholeheartedly could he gain the unreserved support of Yunjian Pavilion.

He is such a calculating person.

However, Guan Shuo and Fang Yiming would not look down on such calculating people, but they would not have deep contact with them. After all, being too calculating means that interests come first in everything. People get along for the sake of interests, and when the interests are gone, they will part ways. If you develop a too deep friendship with such a person, it is inevitable that he will stab you in the back for greater interests in the future.

Deng Jingyun's high-profile appearance attracted great attention from the whole city, which was exactly what he wanted. He could have brought the gifts with a storage ring, but he chose to use more than a dozen carriages to bring them, just to show off his pomp. He chose to appear in the middle of the banquet, which was just the right timing.

It can be said that he had planned everything, except for one thing -

The uninvited guest is Feng Wanqing.

Feng Wanqing had long regarded Lin Xiaoran as her son's woman. At this moment, Feng Shao was hugging Lin Xiaoran, which already made her murderous. And now a young man who came out of nowhere actually publicly expressed his support for the marriage between Feng Shao and Lin Xiaoran. Doesn't this mean that he doesn't take her seriously at all?

She looked at Deng Jingyun indifferently and said coldly: "Who is speaking nonsense here?!"

As she spoke, Feng Wanqing stretched out her hand towards Deng Jingyun from afar.

Deng Jingyun, who was originally smiling, suddenly changed his expression and flew into the air without thinking. Almost at the same time as he flew up, several carriages behind him were squeezed by a huge force that came from nowhere. The pack horses screamed one after another, and the next moment they turned into a bloody mess under the huge pressure, and a cloud of blood mist filled the entire street.

Deng Jingyun looked at what was happening below him, his face full of doubt and uncertainty. He looked up at Feng Wanqing, bowed and said, "I am Deng Jingyun. I wonder why the senior suddenly took action?"

Feng Wanqing sneered and said, "You are so loud and noisy right from the start. This Saint Lady is not happy about this, so I will punish you. Is there a problem with that?"

Deng Jingyun couldn't help but twitch his lips. Is this woman mentally ill? She wants to kill someone for this reason? But although he was indignant, he rationally did not refute her. After all, refutation of a woman who is unreasonable and has super strong fighting ability is no different from seeking death.

He always knew the current situation, so he smiled and said, "You are right, senior. I am a bit rude, please forgive me!"

Seeing this, all the onlookers admired Deng Jingyun's flexibility. Feng Wanqing also looked at Deng Jingyun in surprise and nodded secretly.

After all, it’s not shameful to admit defeat in front of someone who is much stronger than you.

Feng Wanqing returned her gaze to Feng Shao again and sneered, "Boy, even if someone helped you just now, how many times can that person help you? I'm sure you also know that the kind of thing that happened just now will not happen a second time, right?"

Feng Wanqing's guess was correct. You Tong had just used his Spiritual Transformation Realm to forcibly influence the Qi of a powerful person in the Tribulation Realm. He had already put in all his efforts. However, this method could only be used once in a short period of time. If used again, he would be countered by the Qi.

On the other hand, Feng Wanqing, although she was injured in the previous fight, it was only a flesh wound and did not have much impact on her own strength.

Feng Shao said calmly, "Don't worry about it, Senior. Since Ran'er is my Taoist partner, I will never use her as a gamble. If you want to take action, just do it."

Everyone was surprised when they heard this.

In their opinion, a great power like Feng Wanqing who was in the Tribulation Realm was simply not comparable to a Jindan cultivator like Feng Shao. Now that Feng Wanqing was willing to let her son take action, it undoubtedly reduced the difficulty for Feng Shao. But why was Feng Shao so stubborn that he rejected this suggestion that had more benefits than disadvantages for him just because he "didn't want to bet on his Taoist partner"?

Lin Xiaoran was touched, but couldn't help but said anxiously: "Brother Shao, you don't have to be like this, I..."

Before Lin Xiaoran could finish his words, Feng Shao shook his head and said, "Ran'er, no need to say more. I have made a decision and will not change it. You are my lover and the one who will accompany me for the rest of my life. How can I use you as a gamble?"

Seeing Feng Shaoning's refusal to compromise, Feng Wanqing was at a loss for a moment.

She married Chen Ye's father out of "true love" despite the world's disapproval. She believed that she was following her inner desire, so even though she was severely punished by her master for this, she had no regrets.

Later, she gained power and took control of the entire Baihua Valley. The first thing she did was to come to Dongzhou to find her true love. Just because she heard that all the geniuses of Dongzhou gathered in Qingdi City, she came directly to Qingdi City out of her love for her son.

For someone like her who was willing to give up her status and position for love, Feng Shao's behavior deeply touched her. But thinking of her son's wish, she hardened her heart and said coldly: "What a pair of infatuated man and resentful woman. Little girl, I wonder what you would do if I killed your lover?"

Lin Xiaoran said angrily, "You old woman are so unreasonable! Just a mere Hundred Flowers Valley, do you really think that my Yunjian Pavilion is afraid of you?! If you know what's good for you, then leave quickly. Otherwise, if my husband gets hurt in the slightest, I, the Thirteenth Hall of Yunjian, will come to Zhongzhou one day and destroy your Hundred Flowers Valley!"

Lin Xiaoran's words were so harsh that Feng Wanqing was stunned for a moment. But she then flew into a rage and shouted, "I will kill him today and see how your Yunjian Pavilion can destroy my Baihua Valley!"

After saying this, Feng Wanqing was about to take action when she heard a melodious voice coming from afar:

"If you dare to attack him, you will not be able to return alive today."

Hearing this, Feng Wanqing couldn't help but asked angrily, "Who is it? Why don't you show up?"

After a moment, a light laugh sounded. Feng Wanqing felt a flash of light before her eyes, and a moon-white knife light came towards her. Feng Wanqing was horrified and was about to dodge, but she remembered that if she dodged, the disciples of the Hundred Flower Valley behind her would inevitably suffer. In desperation, she had to grit her teeth, put her hands together, and clusters of petals flew out from the Hundred Flower Pattern on her body that seemed to be used as decoration, and in an instant, a flower wall was erected in front of her.

Then there was a "bang" and a huge force came from the flower wall. Feng Wanqing was hit hard and her face turned pale. A mouthful of blood rushed to her throat. Fortunately, although she was seriously injured, she was able to block the attack.

She swallowed the blood back with all her strength, gritted her teeth and shouted, "What kind of ability is that to hide your head and show your tail?"

The other party sneered and said, "Then what kind of ability do you have to bully the weak with your strength?"

Feng Wanqing's face was grim: "If you have the courage, you may show up. If you don't have the courage, then retreat quickly. My Hundred Flowers Valley is not to be trifled with, I advise you not to make mistakes!"

After a moment of silence, the other party sneered and said, "In that case, I'll meet you!"

In a moment, Feng Wanqing saw a young woman suddenly appear in front of her. The woman was wearing a light yellow dress, and her extraordinary face seemed to be smiling. But what attracted her attention more were the two knives in the other person's hand.

Short knife in left hand, long knife in right hand.

Feng Wanqing quickly recalled the famous sword masters in Dongzhou who were good at using two swords. After a moment, a name suddenly popped up in her mind, which made her startled and she said in a lost voice: "Are you Lengyue Sword Emperor, Leng Lingyue?"

"Yes, it's me." Leng Lingyue looked at Feng Wanqing, smiling, "Saintess of Hundred Flowers, you attacked my people from Yunjian Pavilion without authorization, but have you thought about how you will die later?"
