The main hall of Yunjian Pavilion.

Sitting at the head of the magnificent main hall was a middle-aged man with a solemn face. He sat upright on the main seat and smiled at Ling Xuzi and others who were already seated, "You are a distinguished guest, and we at Yunjian Pavilion don't have much to offer. But this Yunyun tea is a specialty of our Yunjian Pavilion, so please don't dislike it."

Ling Xuzi quickly picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "Master Lin, you are too polite. I have long heard that Yunjian Pavilion's Yunyun Tea is the best in the world. I am so lucky to be able to taste it today!"

The middle-aged man smiled and asked, "By the way, I wonder what brings you to my Yunjian Pavilion today?"

This middle-aged man is the head of Yunjian Pavilion, Lin Fengtian.

Lin Fengtian was both surprised and not surprised at the arrival of someone from Taiwei Sect.

It was no surprise that the incident at Linglong Pavilion in Liyang City had already affected the relationship between Yunjian Pavilion and Taiwei Sect. As long as the people of Taiwei Sect were not stupid, they would definitely send someone over to give an explanation.

Surprisingly, the person sent by Taiwei Sect was not Feng Shao, but a few people Lin Fengtian had no impression of. This made Lin Fengtian a little puzzled.

What is the purpose of the people from Taiwei Sect coming to Yunjian Pavilion?

Lin Fengtian still admired Feng Shao very much. Apart from anything else, just looking at the fact that Feng Shao had only taken thirty years to develop and expand a sect that was about to be expelled, it can be seen that Feng Shao was capable. This made Lin Fengtian couldn't help but think of the difficulties he had encountered when he had just taken over Tianxin Sect and established Yunjian Pavilion, and he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Feng Shao.

It was also for this reason that when Lin Xiaoran proposed to marry Feng Shao, Lin Fengtian not only did not stop her, but supported her wholeheartedly.

As for the later support for Taiwei Sect, it was purely incidental.

Lin Fengtian had a general impression of the Taiwei Sect. After all, not to mention other places, there were dozens of sects of the same size as the Taiwei Sect in Dongzhou alone. If it were another sect with the same strength as the Taiwei Sect, Lin Fengtian would probably just send an elder to receive him instead of coming in person.

But in this case, Ling Xuzi felt a little proud. He thought: This Yunjian Pavilion is indeed different from other sects to my Taiwei Sect. It seems that the matter of Linglong Pavilion in Liyang City will be easy to deal with.

So Ling Xuzi smiled and said, "I am up this time because of the marriage contract between Yunjian Pavilion and the Saint Son of our sect."

Lin Fengtian glanced at Ye Chen, who was sitting next to Ling Xuzi, calm and composed—or to be more precise, too calm—and then at the three low-level disciples sitting below them. He then slowly said, "Although my daughter has already concluded an engagement with the Saint Son of your sect, she is only fifteen years old after all. Isn't it a little too early to talk about this now?"

Ling Xuzi waved his hand and said, "Good things come early rather than late! I heard that Pavilion Master Lin's daughter is a natural beauty. Although she is young, she has inherited the true teachings of Pavilion Master Lin and Hall Master Xiao. Given time, she will surely become a great swordsman. The new Saint of our sect has also admired Miss Lin for a long time. If we can marry Miss Lin as soon as possible, it will also allow the relationship between our two families to be further improved. Why not?"

Lin Fengtian's eyes flashed with doubt. The new Holy Son? Feng Shaodu has been the Holy Son for several months, right? Why is he still called the "new" now?

Also, what does "admire" mean? Could it be that this guy doesn't even know who he's going to marry?

Thinking of this, Lin Fengtian felt a little dissatisfied with Feng Shao and Taiwei Sect.

But Lin Fengtian was well-mannered. He just said calmly, "The marriage depends on the two people's plan. But before that, I want to talk to your sect about the murder of Deng Su, the owner of Linglong Pavilion in Liyang City. I wonder if your sect has made any progress after investigating for so long?"

Lin Fengtian said this, which was considered to be giving face to Taiwei Sect. The murderer had actually been determined long ago, and all Lin Fengtian wanted was an explanation from Taiwei Sect. He was not afraid of breaking up with Taiwei Sect, but his daughter would marry into the sect sooner or later, and it would be bad to let her live in trouble after marrying into the sect.

But this does not mean that Yunjian Pavilion will pretend nothing happened.

Ling Xuzi was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "Well... our sect is also very concerned about the murder of Manager Deng. But there are many doubts, and we need to investigate slowly..."

Lin Fengtian frowned.

We've already given you two months, and you still want to investigate slowly?

Could it be that after signing the marriage contract, the Taiwei Sect thinks it can be on equal footing with our Yunjian Pavilion?

Lin Fengtian narrowed his eyes and looked at Ling Xuzi and Ye Chen with a bad look. The two of them felt the pressure from Lin Fengtian's momentum and gradually felt that they were having difficulty breathing.

Just when Ling Xuzi didn't know what to do, a pleasant and playful voice suddenly shouted: "Daddy!"

Suddenly, the pressure in the hall dissipated, and Ling Xuzi and Ye Chen couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

And when Ye Chen saw the cute figure running into the hall, his eyes lit up.

In order to make Brother Shao feel "amazing" at the first time, Lin Xiaoran dressed up very seriously in her boudoir. She was naturally beautiful, and after careful dressing up, she looked like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world, so beautiful that it was beyond description.

However, considering the girl's modesty, Lin Xiaoran covered her face with a veil. But this veil gave people a feeling of "holding a lute with half of her face covered", which aroused endless reverie.

The moment Ye Chen saw Lin Xiaoran for the first time, he was involuntarily fascinated by her. At this moment, a voice in his heart shouted: "This woman is mine! Mine!"

Looking at his daughter running into the hall, Lin Fengtian's eyes flashed with affection, but on the surface he said indifferently: "How can you be so ignorant of etiquette in front of guests?"

Lin Xiaoran laughed, shook Lin Fengtian's arm, and said coquettishly: "Daddy, this is understandable!"

Lin Fengtian patted her little head and sighed, "Girl, it seems that you can't keep girls when they grow up!"

Lin Xiaoran smiled embarrassedly, then turned to look at Ye Chen and others.

But then, she couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Strange, why didn’t Brother Shao come?

At this time, Ye Chen suddenly stepped forward, saluted to Lin Fengtian and said: "I am Ye Chen, the new Holy Son of Taiwei Sect, and I pay my respects to Pavilion Master Lin."

He bowed to Lin Xiaoran again and said with a smile: "Meet Miss Lin."

Lin Xiaoran blinked. She was unable to react for a moment, and only asked subconsciously: "Are you the new Holy Son? Then where is Shao... Feng Shao?"

Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, "Feng Shao has gone against the grain and is not tolerated by the sect. He has already betrayed his master. Now everyone in my Taiwei Sect wants to kill him. The leader sent us here to apologize and to revise the marriage contract. The reason for the apology is that the marriage contract between our two sects was made that year, but Feng Shao turned out to be such a ruthless person that he almost made the young lady put her trust in the wrong person. Our sect is deeply disturbed by this matter and hereby apologizes. Fortunately, God has eyes, and Feng Shao is no longer a member of my Taiwei Sect. In order to revise the relationship between the two families, I have specially sent disciples to change the marriage contract."

The hall fell into an eerie silence for a moment.

After a long while, Lin Fengtian asked calmly, "Oh? Changing the engagement? I wonder who Taiwei Sect is going to marry my daughter to?"

Ye Chen smiled confidently and said, "I have just entered the sect for five years and have now reached the Golden Core stage. Although I am not talented, I am already the new Holy Son of our sect. Therefore, the marriage contract between our two sects will be completed by me."

Ye Chen said this neither servilely nor arrogantly, and Ling Xuzi couldn't help but secretly cheer. He smiled and said, "That Feng Shao is of low caliber, and really doesn't deserve Miss Lin's talent. Now that he has a new marriage candidate, I believe he won't humiliate Miss Lin. It's really a happy event!"

Lin Fengtian said calmly: "What you mean is that you think Feng Shao is not worthy of my daughter, so you want to find someone else to marry my daughter, right?"

Ling Xuzi nodded and said, "Pavilion Master Lin, you will understand."

Lin Fengtian sneered and said, "I didn't know that Taiwei Sect actually had such a wishful thinking. Could it be that Taiwei Sect treats my daughter as a commodity and gives it to whoever they want?!"

As he spoke later, Lin Fengtian's voice and expression became stern, and the aura of a powerful person in the Tribulation Realm was released without any restraint.

Ling Xuzi and Ye Chen did not expect Lin Fengtian to turn hostile so quickly, and their faces changed drastically.

Ye Chen tried his best to resist Lin Fengtian's pressure and argued: "Feng Shao has only been in the Xiantian realm for thirty years. How can such a shallow qualification be worthy of Miss Lin? I, Ye Chen, have reached the Jindan realm in five years. How can I be inferior to Feng Shao?"

Before Lin Fengtian could speak, Lin Xiaoran angrily said, "My brother Shao is a genius. If he hadn't taken care of you, the burden, what would his mere Golden Core Realm mean? Instead of being grateful, you, the Taiwei Sect, expelled my brother Shao from the sect. You are so shameless!"

Lin Xiaoran came here with high hopes, but unexpectedly she didn't see Feng Shao whom she had been thinking about, but heard this news that made her extremely angry. What was even more hateful was that Feng Shao had done so many things for them, but today they turned around and slandered Feng Shao!

Faced with the huge gap, Lin Xiaoran was naturally furious.

Hearing this, Ling Xuzi was shocked and could not help but secretly groan. From Qing Yangzi onwards, most people in Taiwei Sect thought that the reason why Yunjian Pavilion wanted to marry Taiwei Sect was because they saw the potential of Taiwei Sect. But Lin Xiaoran's words had clearly told them that Lin Xiaoran wanted to marry Feng Shao, and the support for Taiwei Sect was completely incidental!

If Feng Shao was still in Taiwei Sect, they would naturally be the guests of honor of Yunjian Pavilion. But now that Feng Shao has left the sect, what are they to Yunjian Pavilion?

What’s even worse is that they came here without any self-awareness and asked to change the engagement!

But Ling Xuzi didn't understand, how could a mere Feng Shao be so favored by the Yunjian Pavilion?

Ye Chen had never thought that Lin Xiaoran would actually like Feng Shao. The burning fire of jealousy in his heart made his eyes red. He shouted loudly: "You, Yunjian Pavilion, broke off the engagement for no reason, just because you look down on me, Ye Chen! I tell you, today it is not you who broke off the engagement, but I want to divorce you, Lin Xiaoran! Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully the young and poor!"

As soon as these words came out, Ling Xuzi couldn't help but secretly exclaimed, "Ye Chen, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Fengtian stood up. The aura he exuded was like a mountain pressing down on their heads. The legs of several people went weak and they fell to the ground involuntarily.

Lin Fengtian stretched out his hand and Ye Chen was lifted up out of thin air. Looking at Ye Chen who was struggling, Lin Fengtian said grimly: "Boy, do you really think I dare not kill you?"

Ye Chen couldn't help but show fear on his face. He clearly felt that Lin Fengtian really wanted to kill him!

He couldn't help but secretly regret it. Why did he say such a mean thing just now?

Just when Ye Chen thought he was dead, Lin Fengtian suddenly threw him to the ground. Ye Chen was so shocked that he saw stars and his internal organs seemed to be displaced. He was struggling to stand up, but he heard Lin Fengtian say coldly: "If you die in my Yunjian Pavilion, people will say that my Yunjian Pavilion doesn't know how to treat guests! I will let you go today, but when you go back, tell that old fool Qing Yangzi that I will come to my Yunjian Pavilion to ask for your return one by one! Get lost!"

Ye Chen stood up reluctantly and walked out of the hall without saying a word. Ling Xuzi bowed to Lin Fengtian and was about to say something, but when he saw a cold light flash in Lin Fengtian's eyes, he was immediately frightened and ran out in a hurry.

As for Ye Chen's three lackeys, they could only follow him out in a panic.

Seeing his father let Ling Xuzi and the others go, Lin Xiaoran was confused and dissatisfied, and couldn't help asking: "Dad, why did you let them go? Especially Ye Chen, you can tell at a glance that he is not a good guy!"

Lin Fengtian shook his head and said, "This is Feng Shao's business, not my Yunjian Pavilion's business. Feng Shao's business should be left to him to solve. If he can't solve it himself and asks me, his father-in-law, to solve it, how can I be assured of handing my daughter over to him?"

Lin Xiaoran curled his lips: "We are almost a family, why do we still have to be so clear about the differences?"

Lin Fengtian patted Lin Xiaoran's head and said earnestly, "Silly boy, you don't understand yet. Don't be fooled by Feng Shao's open-minded appearance, but this kid is ambitious and will not let others do his own things. It's easy for me to deal with these two guys for him now, but what do you think Feng Shao will think? So all I can do is to vent his anger for him!"

Lin Xiaoran thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the logical relationship here. But at this moment, she suddenly remembered what Xiao Ruoyao had said to her.

"Men are simple and complicated at the same time. When they are simple, you can see through their minds at a glance. But sometimes, they always like to be serious about some inexplicable things. If you encounter such a thing in the future, it is best to let them solve it themselves, and don't interfere, lest you do bad things with good intentions."

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoran could only say in a half-understanding tone: "I understand, Dad."

Lin Fengtian nodded with relief. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Lin Xiaoran say, "Dad, I want to go down the mountain to find Brother Shao!"

Lin Fengtian couldn't help but frown: "But do you know where he is?"

"I don't know." Lin Xiaoran shook his head, but then said, "But I believe I can find him!"

Lin Fengtian laughed. This girl really looks like her mother!

So Lin Fengtian smiled and said, "If that's the case, then go ahead! When you bring him back, your parents will let you get married!"
