At this moment, Yun Fan asked, "Senior, do you know where they are?"
Feng Yi Dao replied, "I do. When we parted ways back then, she gave me an address!"
"An address?"
Just as Yun Fan was confused, Feng Yi Dao directly gave him the address.
Upon seeing it, Yun Fan froze in place.
"Little Brother Yun, what's wrong?" Feng Yi Dao asked, puzzled.
Everyone else also looked confused, not understanding why Yun Fan had such an unbelievable expression.
Yun Fan then declared, "Father-in-law!"
"What?"
Everyone was bewildered again, and Feng Yi Dao was completely petrified. When did he gain a son-in-law?
At this, Yun Fan explained, "Because this address is the residence of the Tianxin family!"
Everyone suddenly understood. So, Feng Yi Dao's daughter was Lin Tianxin.
Yun Fan then asked Feng Yi Dao, "Father-in-law, is your beloved Lin Shufen?"
"Yes!" Feng Yi Dao nodded directly. Su Dan Novel Network.
Yun Fan finally understood why he had been unable to find Lin Tianxin's father before; he wasn't from a hidden sect after all.
Seeing that Feng Yi Dao was still in a daze, Yun Fan proceeded to tell him about Lin Tianxin and Lin Shufen.
Feng Yi Dao finally grasped the situation.
He then said to Yun Fan, "I never expected my daughter to be your fiancée. What a coincidence!"
"Indeed! It seems it was destined over twenty years ago for us to become in-laws!" Shui Qianqian said with emotion.
Feng Yi Dao smiled, "All of this seems like a mere coincidence, yet it has all connected in the end!" However, he felt a bit speechless. While Yun Fan was excellent and would surpass him in time, Yun Fan was perhaps too much of a philanderer. Still, having been away from mother and daughter for over twenty years, he didn't feel he had the right to criticize Yun Fan on Lin Tianxin's behalf.
He then asked Yun Fan, "Yun Fan, come with me to Jiangnan immediately!"
"Yes, yes, I must go too!" Shui Qianqian added eagerly.
At this, Yun Fan inquired, "What about your injuries?"
"No rush!" they both said simultaneously.
Alright! Yun Fan was speechless now. However, Lin Shufen was not in Jiangnan, so he informed them of the situation.
At this point, no matter how eager they were, they couldn't go. They had to wait for Lin Shufen to return. It seemed they were destined to heal.
Thus, Jiang Xueyan began treating their injuries, while Yun Fan dialed Lin Shufen's number.
Upon learning that her beloved had returned, Lin Shufen became impatient and rushed back from the Hell Organization.
...
When the news of Jiang Yutian's death reached the Jiang family, the entire family was enraged. Although the Jiang Yutian lineage had long since declined, Jiang Yutian was eligible to compete for the position of family head this generation. Of course, this wasn't the Jiang family's biggest grievance. Jiang Yutian's death brought the most joy to his competitors. However, since the family head was angry, they had to express anger as well, otherwise, outsiders would perceive the Jiang family as disunited.
The Jiang family head was furious. If the Jiang family didn't deal with the murderer, would it prove that anyone could bully the Jiang family? Therefore, he wanted to avenge Jiang Yutian before abdicating. In fact, he had obtained his position as family head by luck. His elder brother was originally the family head, but due to Old Heavenly Master Guigu, his brother and even the Ji family head were taken to a forbidden area. Their fate was unknown, so he succeeded his brother. However, he had no heir, and despite his immense strength, he couldn't command the respect of the Jiang family members, hence his intention to abdicate. He considered his tenure as family head a failure. Thus, he wanted to eliminate the murderer and bring his leadership to a perfect close.
He then asked the assembled members, "Who among you can deal with that kid from Guigu?"
As soon as he spoke, everyone fell silent. It wasn't that they lacked the ability, but rather they needed to focus their energy on competing for the family head position. They absolutely could not spare time to deal with Yun Fan, and even dealing with him would be a thankless task.
Seeing the silent crowd, the family head felt a surge of disappointment. However, he believed all responsibility lay with him. After all, when his brother was the family head, the Jiang family, both direct and collateral lines, were extremely united. He never expected that now, blinded by self-interest, they were in chaos.
He then declared, "Whoever resolves this kid and avenges Yutian, I will pass this position to them!" This was undoubtedly a huge temptation, yet not a single person stepped forward.
"Family Head, wouldn't this decision be too rash?"
"Indeed, everyone's strength in competition is roughly equal. The position of family head should be decided by vote. Your actions are against the rules!"
"Please reconsider, Family Head!"
The crowd was not swayed. After all, they all had their own agendas and had secretly rallied people to vote for them. They didn't want this rule to change just because Jiang Yutian died.
The family head sighed helplessly. These people were hopeless. It seemed he would have to take action himself. After all, Jiang Yutian was distantly related to him. However, for him, the esteemed family head, to deal with Yun Fan, a not-yet-famous young man, would seem undignified. But compared to being recorded in the family history as the most incompetent family head, he chose the latter. Dignity was dignity, but internal criticism was more damaging than external mockery.
Just as he was about to deal with Yun Fan, a letter arrived. Initially, he didn't plan to read it, but upon seeing that the sender was the Saintess of Yaochi, he had no choice but to look. Although the Jiang family was powerful, they were still somewhat inferior to the Holy Lands, especially a top-tier Holy Land like Yaochi. They were in entirely different leagues.
Upon opening the letter, his brow furrowed instantly. It wasn't for any other reason than the fact that the Saintess of Yaochi clearly stated in the letter that he was forbidden to kill Yun Fan. This was because Yun Fan's life was personally decreed by the Saintess of Yaochi; she wanted his life.
His brow furrowed. He wondered when Yun Fan had gotten involved with the Saintess of Yaochi. No, it should be when he offended the Saintess of Yaochi. After all, they had no connection, and their statuses were vastly different. With the Saintess of Yaochi's immense power, Yun Fan shouldn't have caught her eye. However, he dared not act rashly at this moment, as this was a warning from the Saintess of Yaochi. What shocked him even more was how the Saintess of Yaochi knew his intentions! It had to be said that the Saintess of Yaochi was a terrifying existence, almost prescient.
Therefore, he had to abandon the idea of personally killing Yun Fan. If he did so, he would certainly offend the Saintess of Yaochi. To offend such a powerful figure as the Saintess of Yaochi for a mere boy from Guigu was clearly not worth it. Although he couldn't act himself, he could still send someone to secretly eliminate Yun Fan, in which case the Saintess of Yaochi would find no evidence. But the difficulty lay in the current state of the Jiang family. To outsiders, they appeared powerful, but only he knew they had become a pile of loose sand.
Perhaps Yun Fan himself didn't realize that he had already attracted the attention of the formidable Saintess of Yaochi. If he knew, he would likely be trembling with fear. After all, it was the Saintess of Yaochi, hailed as the most talented prodigy in a thousand years, who even had the potential to ascend to the level of a Landed Divine Mountain in the future, becoming the strongest martial artist in a millennium.
...
A day later, Shui Qianqian and Feng Yi Dao's injuries finally recovered. So, Yun Fan took them to Jiangnan. However, Ye Ji and the others did not accompany them, as it was a family reunion. Their presence would seem inappropriate. As for Zhao Feiyue, she took Jiang Xueyan with her and went directly to the West. That's right, this time she was going to find Dai Qisi. She wanted Jiang Xueyan to resolve the love蛊 on both of them. Both Dai Qisi and Zhao Feiyue had discovered it. They were harming each other, benefiting other women, but they just wouldn't accept each other. Therefore, before this, Zhao Feiyue had called her several times, but all negotiations broke down. Given their current situation, they likely could only resolve it through face-to-face discussion.
Jiang Xueyan felt no emotion about this. She was just a tool. Once she helped the two women resolve the love蛊, her task would be done. Then, she would spend all her days by Yun Fan's side, never leaving.
At this moment, the three of them, Yun Fan, had arrived in Jiangnan. Lin Shufen had returned, and upon seeing Feng Yi Dao, she froze. Feng Yi Dao was equally stunned. Anyone could tell they missed each other deeply, but having not seen each other for over twenty years, they hesitated at this moment.
"Brother Feng!"
"Shufen!"
In the next moment, they embraced each other tightly. At this, Feng Yi Dao said with shame, "Shufen, I'm sorry for making you wait for over twenty years!"
"Brother Feng, don't feel guilty. Let alone twenty years, even fifty years, a lifetime, I'm willing to wait!" Lin Shufen had no regrets. Her twenty years of waiting had finally led to sweet success after hardship.
"This time, I will never leave you again!" Feng Yi Dao said solemnly. Back then, if not for evading the Jiang family's pursuit, he wouldn't have been separated from Lin Shufen for so many years. But he had no regrets, because the person he saved back then was his future in-law. Thus, he immediately told Lin Shufen the reason. At this, Lin Shufen no longer harbored any resentment. Her twenty years of waiting were worth it. Moreover, Feng Yi Dao was the chivalrous hero in her heart. It was precisely because of Feng Yi Dao's chivalrous spirit that she was deeply captivated and couldn't extricate herself.
Lin Tianxin, still unaware of the reason, widened her eyes upon seeing this scene. However, this was quite normal. After all, she had gained a father out of the blue. Because of Lin Shufen's frank confession earlier, she quickly accepted the fact that Feng Yi Dao was her father.
Subsequently, Shui Qianqian greeted Lin Shufen. In truth, Shui Qianqian felt a sense of shame. Facing Lin Shufen, she felt a little insecure, especially since her son had caused so much trouble and had so many women. She had even prepared herself to be lectured by Lin Shufen. However, to her surprise, Lin Shufen didn't mention a word of it. Every sentence was about praising Yun Fan, which left Shui Qianqian bewildered. This mother-in-law was more magnanimous than her own mother. This completely exceeded her expectations. Even more absurdly, Lin Tianxin didn't seem to mind either.
In fact, Lin Tianxin was numb. No matter how much she cared, she couldn't change the facts. Moreover, it might even provoke dislike. So, she decided to turn a blind eye. Anyway, she was the legitimate wife, and with that title, she wasn't afraid of being at a disadvantage. At this moment, Shui Qianqian and Lin Shufen were chatting. Judging by the smiles on their faces from time to time, it was clear they were enjoying each other's company. Of course, Lin Tianxin, being sensible, served them by their side, which completely increased Shui Qianqian's good impression of her. Although she couldn't change the current situation, she decided that from now on, she would take good care of Lin Tianxin and make up for her guilt.
Meanwhile, Feng Yi Dao and Yun Fan were having tea together.
"I never expected my daughter to have the Xuan Yin Physique!" Feng Yi Dao said excitedly. As a powerful martial artist, he could naturally discern Lin Tianxin's physique. It was an extremely rare constitution. Although she had no combat power now, if the Xuan Yin Physique were unlocked, her power would surge explosively. Her future achievements might not be much different from the Saintess of Yaochi.
He then said to Yun Fan, "You are both of a suitable age. It's time to unlock her physique!" He was very dissatisfied with Yun Fan, as Lin Tianxin needed Yun Fan to unlock her physique. As long as they consummated their marriage, Lin Tianxin would rise.
At this, Yun Fan replied helplessly, "Father-in-law, I want to too! But I need to give her time to adapt!" He knew that if they broke through that barrier, it wouldn't just benefit Lin Tianxin, but Yun Fan as well. He hadn't broken through that barrier back then because his cultivation was insufficient. Now that his cultivation was sufficient, he didn't want to force Lin Tianxin. After all, he and Lin Tianxin were husband and wife, not a transactional relationship. This engagement was arranged by Old Heavenly Master. But Yun Fan didn't want it to develop into a marriage of convenience.
Upon hearing this, Feng Yi Dao said approvingly to Yun Fan, "Well! Your approach is indeed the demeanor of a gentleman! However, it should be done soon. Your enemies are not weak. If you break through earlier, you will have stronger strength to deal with them!"
"I will work hard!" Yun Fan quickly nodded.
Feng Yi Dao continued, "The enemies you face are not just the Ji and Jiang families; in the future, there will also be the even more powerful Yaochi Holy Land!"
"What?" Yun Fan was startled. How did he suddenly gain another enemy, and one far more powerful than the other two? Especially the Saintess of Yaochi, who was the number one prodigy in Huaxia. If they were truly enemies, the Saintess of Yaochi alone would be enough for him to handle, let alone other opponents.
"Father-in-law, I just want to know, how did I inexplicably become enemies with the Yaochi Holy Land?" At this moment, Yun Fan truly felt like the entire world was against him. He just wanted to know who the hell was so fond of causing trouble and setting him up with such a powerful enemy. And he was only at the peak of Foundation Establishment! If this continued, even he, a peak Foundation Establishment expert, wouldn't be able to withstand it.
At this, Feng Yi Dao said, "Your master, Old Heavenly Master!"
"Hiss!" Yun Fan gasped. When did his master become so incompetent? But then again, it was normal. Their Guigu Sect had seemingly been unpopular for thousands of years. The primary reason was that the Guigu Sect took it upon themselves to care for the world, and this alone put them at odds with most extraordinary martial artists. But someone had to stand up to the darkness, right? Yun Fan never regretted joining the Guigu Sect. He was proud to be the sect leader of Guigu. However, he had to admit, his master, Old Heavenly Master, was no less capable of causing trouble than he was. Truly, they weren't family for nothing.
Feng Yi Dao continued, "Actually, back then, when Old Heavenly Master, along with the Ji and Jiang family heads, fell into the forbidden area, they were also schemed against. The person who schemed against Old Heavenly Master was the Holy Lord of Yaochi!"
"What?"
