Nanshan Village.
"Senior Sister, I'm not going!"
Yun Fan's words were resolute as he spoke with no politeness to his ethereal Senior Sister, Leng Ningshuang.
"What kind of bullshit fiancé is that? I'd rather die outside than marry her!"
He had been called by his Senior Sister early in the morning, asked to go down the mountain to help the Lin family overcome their disaster, and then marry the Lin family's daughter. Yun Fan found it all utterly ridiculous.
Was marriage something to be trifled with?
How could he possibly marry a woman he had never met so casually?!
What if she was some hideous hag?
"You have to go, whether you want to or not!"
Leng Ningshuang's fingertip traced Yun Fan's cheek, playfully remarking, "Although I don't want to see you leave either, this is Master's order, and it cannot be disobeyed!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan fell silent instantly.
Master's arrangements always had their reasons, but…
Seeing Yun Fan's furrowed brow, Leng Ningshuang smiled charmingly and comforted him, "Alright, Master said that marrying the Lin family's daughter will bring you immense benefits. I've heard that the Lin family's daughter is a beauty, so you won't be at a loss by marrying her!"
"But... I don't want to leave Senior Sister."
Yun Fan was not moved by Leng Ningshuang's description of the woman as a beauty.
A hint of a smile flickered in Leng Ningshuang's eyes at this, but she could do nothing but say, "No buts. Do you want Master to break your legs?"
Yun Fan couldn't help but shudder at this.
Senior Sister was right. Master had always been a man of his word. If any disciple disobeyed, he would directly break their legs, unless they were female disciples.
Of course, besides Yun Fan, all of Master's other disciples were female…
"Don't worry, I'll visit you when I have time, and I'll keep an eye on things for you."
"Then... alright then!"
There was no other choice. Yun Fan had to reluctantly agree.
Before he left, Leng Ningshuang suddenly opened her arms. "Junior Brother, you're going down the mountain. Senior Sister doesn't have much to give you, so I'll give you a hug! To comfort your young heart."
With that, Leng Ningshuang, disregarding Yun Fan's reaction, gave him a bear hug!
"Be good!" Yun Fan's face flushed red, unable to breathe from the embrace. "Senior Sister has grown bigger again! This is at least one size up!"
"Right!"
Just as Yun Fan was lost in thought, Leng Ningshuang suddenly pushed him away. She then fumbled around on her body for a while and pulled out a stack of envelopes, saying,
"Before Master left, he owed seven favors. Since you're going down the mountain, you can settle them for him!"
"Holy hell! No way!"
Yun Fan froze on the spot, then immediately cursed,
"I knew Master had ulterior motives! What about this fiancé thing? Bullshit! It's just a smokescreen! This woman must be some ugly hag! I bet he just wants to exploit me and make me settle these debts down the mountain!"
Leng Ningshuang couldn't help but chuckle at Yun Fan's furious outburst.
"Alright, stop complaining!"
Leng Ningshuang reminded him, "If you encounter any difficulties, you can find your Senior Sisters for help. But remember, your Senior Sisters are not to be trifled with, so don't get too involved with them!"
"Are they that scary?"
Yun Fan looked puzzled. The Ghost Valley disciples were spread all over the world. He had grown up in Nanshan Village, so he had never met his six Senior Sisters and didn't know what they looked like. He only knew that none of them were weaker than Leng Ningshuang.
Leng Ningshuang waved her hand, "Just listen to me, it's getting late, you should head down the mountain quickly!"
"Farewell!"
…
Jiangnan, Rose Club.
"Damn it! What kind of bullshit fiancé is that! I'd rather die outside than be some live-in son-in-law!"
Yun Fan lay on the bed with his legs crossed, muttering curses. After descending the mountain, he hadn't gone to the Lin family immediately but had come to this club.
"I'd rather date masseuses every day than marry some Lin family daughter!"
Yun Fan, who was naturally free-spirited, detested arranged marriages, but Master's orders were hard to defy…
"I'll only do all sorts of scandalous things, so the Lin family will proactively break off the engagement."
Yun Fan dangled his feet, mumbling to himself, "A wealthy family wouldn't accept someone with a bad reputation as their son-in-law, right?"
Just as Yun Fan was contemplating, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open.
Before Yun Fan could react, he saw a woman rush in in a panic and dive straight into his covers.
"What the hell!"
Yun Fan was dumbfounded, his mind blank. "Miss, don't be so direct. I'm just getting a foot massage, I don't have any other intentions..."
If I had needs, I would have gone upstairs long ago!
Yun Fan prepared to shove the disheveled woman out from under the covers, but when he lifted the quilt, he was stunned again:
"Holy hell, have the masseuses' standards gotten this high these days?!"
The woman before him, in terms of looks and temperament, was no less than his Seventh Senior Sister. Her skin was flawless, like an ice beauty.
The woman instinctively glared at him, ignoring Yun Fan, but inwardly cursed, "You're the masseuse, your whole family are masseuses!"
Lin Tianxin had been drugged and kidnapped to this place after work today. If she hadn't woken up in time and escaped, she wouldn't have known where she'd been taken.
However, she was still being pursued by kidnappers outside, and in her desperation, she had hidden in Yun Fan's room.
She hadn't expected to be mistaken for a masseuse by this guy!
"What are you looking at? It's time for your service!"
Yun Fan immediately abandoned the thought of throwing Lin Tianxin out and lay down, urging, "If your skills are good enough, I can even pay extra for other services!"
Yun Fan wasn't a casual person. However, in the face of such beauty, he became less than human!
"Seventh Senior Sister, I apologize. Don't blame your junior brother for not being a gentleman. It's just that the club masseuse is too attractive!"
Yun Fan thought to himself that as long as it was just massages and no other services, it shouldn't count as breaking his vow!
The cultivation technique Yun Fan practiced was rather special. He was not allowed to get involved with women before his technique was complete…
Hearing Yun Fan's urging, Lin Tianxin's expression turned even colder, her forehead veins throbbing. As the Lin family's daughter, when had she ever suffered such humiliation?
If it weren't for the people outside, she would have slapped this shameless fellow to death long ago.
"Shut up!" Lin Tianxin cursed in a low voice.
"Oh? A masseuse with a temper? This is the first time I've seen one!"
Yun Fan was amused. He was used to enthusiastic service attitudes and found this change of pace quite novel.
"Slap!"
Yun Fan slapped Lin Tianxin's buttocks, then rolled over:
"Hurry up, get on top!"
Instantly, Lin Tianxin's face turned crimson.
Just as she was about to explode, the private room door was pushed open again, and four fierce-looking men barged in.
"Catch her!"
Without a word, the four men surrounded Lin Tianxin and reached out to grab her.
Lin Tianxin's face drained of color, a wave of despair washing over her.
Unexpectedly, Yun Fan suddenly stood up and blocked the four men.
"Gentlemen, this is the masseuse I booked. It's not right for you to snatch her mid-session, is it?"
In Yun Fan's eyes, these men were here to steal his masseuse. But he had already paid, so at least for this hour, Lin Tianxin was his, and they couldn't just snatch her away!
"Foolish fellow!"
The leader directly gave the order: "Kill him!"
Immediately, the men rushed forward. Killing was commonplace for these desperate characters.
"Bang!"
Unexpectedly, Yun Fan's fist struck quickly. One punch per person, he knocked the four men to the ground.
"Damn it, are you serious?"
Yun Fan rubbed his fist and looked at the four men curled up on the ground like shrimp, then turned to prepare to take Lin Tianxin to another room for her to continue her service.
But when he turned back, Yun Fan found that Lin Tianxin had already disappeared!
"Hey! That's not how it works. Even if you don't provide the service, you should at least refund my money!"
Yun Fan clutched his chest, looking heartbroken, and mentally blacklisted this club, deeming the service unsatisfactory!
The four robbers on the ground were also stunned by this scene. This guy mistook the Lin family's daughter for a club masseuse?!
…
The next day, Lin Family.
Lin Zhenxiong's expression was extremely grim.
Yesterday, his eldest daughter had been kidnapped. Fortunately, nothing had happened to her, otherwise, the consequences would have been unpredictable.
"It seems these people are starting to resort to desperate measures," Lin Zhenxiong sighed, his face full of worry.
The Lin family held a preeminent position in Jiangnan, yet there were still many who coveted the Lin family's assets.
Recently, the Chen family had joined forces with many other families to deal with the Lin family, leaving Lin Zhenxiong somewhat caught off guard.
Most importantly, they didn't even know who was the mastermind behind the Chen family. With the enemy hidden and their own side exposed, the situation became even more passive.
At this moment, Butler Fu walked in.
"Master, we've found out."
Fu Bo handed a tablet to Lin Zhenxiong. "It was this young man who saved the eldest daughter. Otherwise, the consequences last night would have been unthinkable…"
Lin Zhenxiong glanced at it and sighed, "Those few were likely experts from the Chen family. This young man, barely in his early twenties, was able to knock them out with one move. His strength is probably close to yours!"
Butler Fu smiled, saying no more, implicitly agreeing.
"If only this young man could help our Lin family!"
Although the Lin family was the wealthiest in Jiangnan, other than Butler Fu, there were no experts in the family. With so many people targeting them now, the situation was not optimistic.
At this time, someone entered from outside the door. It was Lin Zhenxiong's adopted daughter, Lin Ya.
"Dad, Sister has had this incident, and she's probably emotionally unstable. Why don't I manage the company for now? It'll give Sister time to recuperate!"
Lin Ya didn't hesitate and directly stated her intention.
"No need. I'll go to the company myself these few days. You just take care of your sister!" Lin Zhenxiong glanced at Lin Ya meaningfully and refused.
When they left work last night, both sisters had left together. Why was it that only Lin Ya was unharmed, while Lin Tianxin encountered trouble?
Lin Zhenxiong's suspicions were aroused.
"Alright!" Lin Ya lowered her head somewhat dejectedly, a hint of malice flashing in her eyes.
She thought she was hiding it well, but everything was seen by the silent Butler Fu beside her.
"Master, there's someone outside claiming to be a descendant of the Ghost Valley sect, who has come to marry the eldest daughter. Should we turn him away?"
"Tell him to get lost!"
"Yes!"
Lin Zhenxiong was overwhelmed. What was wrong with the world? Why were there so many shameless people coming to their door with all sorts of excuses?
"Wait!" Suddenly, Lin Zhenxiong seemed to remember something, his face instantly changing in shock. He quickly called back the guard, then turned to Lin Ya excitedly and said, "Ya'er, go and welcome him! He is your future brother-in-law!"
Lin Ya looked puzzled, but obediently nodded:
"Yes!"
