Fu Bo arrived at the Black Dragon Society and happened to find Yun Fan there. He respectfully said, "Your old servant, Fu Bo, pays his respects to Young Master!"
Fu Bo knew that Yun Fan was the son-in-law of the Lin family, and he was the Lin family's butler, so calling him Young Master was most appropriate.
Yun Fan was stunned. "What are you doing here?"
He had seen Fu Bo from afar the last time he visited the Lin family, so he recognized him.
Fu Bo quickly said, "The Master sent this old servant to invite Young Master over for a visit!"
"I'm not going!"
Yun Fan didn't have a good impression of Lin Zhenxiong, so he refused directly.
"Young Master, both Young Master Ouyang and War God Yulong have proposed to the Lin family. If you don't go, it will be difficult for the family head to explain!"
Fu Bo explained the situation clearly.
Yun Fan was dumbfounded. Wasn't the Lin family's beloved daughter, Lin Ya, already dead? Why were these two still proposing?
Could it be that these two had some peculiar fetishes?
Fu Bo continued, "The family head cannot bear the pressure from the two of them alone. Since Young Master is the son-in-law of the Lin family, it might be better if you went in person!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan didn't think much of it. He considered it one last favor to the Lin family, and so he said, "Alright then!"
Afterward, he walked to Fu Bo's side and noticed his hands. He couldn't help but say, "Your hands are covered in calluses. If you hadn't used weapons for years, you wouldn't have these marks!"
Fu Bo chuckled, "Young Master is joking. This old servant only knows some crude weapon skills. In front of Young Master, it's just showing off!"
But Yun Fan clearly didn't believe him. Judging by Fu Bo's skill, he must have practiced for at least several decades. He hadn't expected such a powerful presence in the Lin family.
He just wondered what weapon Fu Bo used.
...
At the Lin family's residence, Lin Zhenxiong was very anxious. While Fu Bo was gone to invite Yun Fan, Young Master Ouyang had already arrived.
Young Master Ouyang said calmly, "Patriarch Lin, I presume you have seen my calling card. This young master has admired Miss Lin for a long time. If Patriarch Lin agrees to this marriage, the Ouyang family and the Lin family will be on the same side from now on. The Lin family's affairs will be my affairs, Ouyang Shaohui's affairs!"
Ouyang Shaohui was quite pleased with himself at the moment. He knew that Lin Zhenxiong would definitely agree, as this was an opportunity to climb higher.
If the Lin family refused, it would be foolish. Moreover, the Lin family didn't have the courage to offend the Ouyang family.
Compared to the Ouyang family, the Lin family was truly too weak, almost like an ant.
As long as he got there before War God Yulong, he could secure Lin Tianxin and she would be his prey.
However, before Lin Zhenxiong could agree, War God Yulong arrived.
"Ouyang Shaohui, you are truly shameless! The woman this War God fancies, you dare to snatch her!"
War God Yulong entered with a cold smile from outside.
Ouyang Shaohui alone had already given Lin Zhenxiong a headache. Now, with the addition of War God Yulong, he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
Seeing War God Yulong arrive at this critical juncture, Ouyang Shaohui's expression soured. Others might fear War God Yulong.
To the world, War God Yulong was an unattainable existence. But for the Ouyang family, no matter how dazzling War God Yulong was, they would not fear him, because the Ouyang family's foundation was much deeper than War God Yulong's.
Ouyang Shaohui said coldly, "I wonder who it is. So it's you. What? You want to compete with this young master?"
"I advise you to give up! Otherwise, don't blame this War God for being merciless!"
War God Yulong scoffed, "If you dare to snatch a woman from this War God, even if this War God agrees, my hundred thousand brothers will not!"
No one expected him to use the threat of a hundred thousand soldiers to pressure Ouyang Shaohui. If it were anyone else, they would likely be scared to death.
But Ouyang Shaohui was unfazed. "Hmph! Let alone that you can't mobilize a hundred thousand troops, even if you could, how would it matter? Would my Ouyang family fear a mere War God like you?"
As soon as he said this, War God Yulong's face turned cold, filled with killing intent. But he quickly regained his composure, because at this moment, he could not directly fall out with the Ouyang family. He had to wait until he obtained Lin Tianxin before dealing with Ouyang Shaohui slowly.
"Your Ouyang family will be destroyed sooner or later, and as for you, this War God has plenty of time to deal with you!" War God Yulong threatened coldly.
Ouyang Shaohui remained unmoved, as in his opinion, War God Yulong was only capable of threats.
"You have no right to comment on future events. You are just a small pawn. My Ouyang family is the one controlling the chessboard!"
Seeing that the two were at an impasse, Lin Zhenxiong quickly stepped in to mediate. "Someone, serve tea to the two young masters!"
At this moment, the two put aside their argument, as they could only exchange verbal barbs today. There was no need to push it further.
The important thing was who could win Miss Lin's heart.
For this reason, War God Yulong said, "Then let us compete based on our own abilities and see who can win the heart of Miss Lin!"
"That would be best!"
Ouyang Shaohui nodded.
At this time, War God Yulong said to Lin Zhenxiong, "Patriarch Lin, if Miss Lin marries me, she will undoubtedly become the most dazzling woman in China in the future!"
"Because this War God is about to be enfeoffed as a King!"
War God Yulong was very confident. Firstly, his brilliance was too dazzling, and he was about to become a King, after which he could stand on equal footing with the four great families.
Unlike Ouyang Shaohui, the achievements he had now were all earned through his own efforts.
Although Ouyang Shaohui would also become the head of the Ouyang family in the future, it would be through inheritance. He was entirely incomparable to a self-made prodigy like himself.
He firmly believed that Lin Zhenxiong would choose him, as who wouldn't want their daughter to marry a King by adoption?
Ouyang Shaohui also said, "Although you have the potential to be ennobled as a King, don't forget that you are not a King yet. Even if you were a King, so what? In terms of foundation, even with another hundred years, you would never catch up to my Ouyang family!"
As the two argued without end, Lin Zhenxiong said hesitantly, "It's not that I don't agree, but my daughter already has a fiancé, so I can only reluctantly refuse the two young masters!"
In Lin Zhenxiong's heart, Yun Fan was the most suitable son-in-law. Firstly, Old Master Ghost Valley had once turned the tide and helped him out of his predicament.
Secondly, if it weren't for Yun Fan, the Lin family would likely have been torn apart by the Chen family, who had already been destroyed. These two favors were far more important than the backgrounds of the two young masters.
Furthermore, he genuinely liked Yun Fan as a son-in-law, and in his heart, Yun Fan would always be the most suitable.
The two were stunned. They hadn't expected Lin Zhenxiong to have the courage to refuse them, and to do so so decisively.
War God Yulong was the first to make a move. "In this world, no one dares to refuse this War God's goodwill. Know this, if this War God gives an order, whether you are a prominent family or an ancient lineage, you will be turned to dust. Therefore, I hope Patriarch Lin does not do something foolish and cause the already weak Lin family to vanish with a single wave of the hand!"
Lin Zhenxiong immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He hadn't expected War God Yulong to threaten him so brazenly.
Others might not have the strength, but War God Yulong definitely did. He hadn't even anticipated that after getting rid of the major enemy, the Chen family, the Lin family would now face the threat of Mount Tai.
Ouyang Shaohui said from the side, "Patriarch Lin, don't be afraid. He is a War God, and he indeed has the capital for some arrogance and swagger. But with my Ouyang family backing you, the Lin family will be as stable as Mount Tai. Anyone who dares to oppose the Lin family will be opposing my Ouyang family!"
Just then, Ouyang Shaohui changed his tone. "However, I will also remind Patriarch Lin that those who oppose my Ouyang family have never had a good end. I hope Patriarch Lin will make his own decision!"
Undoubtedly, their words were like two mountains pressing down on him, and any slight movement would lead to eternal damnation.
The situation was far more complicated than he had imagined. All the plans he had prepared were rendered useless at this moment.
According to his plan, he would refuse the two and then, before they could get angry, he would immediately offer compensation.
He had also prepared to offer one-third of the Lin family's fortune as compensation. Who knew that they wouldn't even give him a chance to refuse?
He understood that even if he offered all his assets as compensation now, they would not agree. He had to admit that he had been careless this time.
And now, Yun Fan's prolonged absence meant that he wouldn't be coming. However, Lin Zhenxiong understood.
After all, the power and background of these two were too great. It was normal for Yun Fan to be afraid. However, he couldn't help but complain inwardly.
He complained about Yun Fan's lack of responsibility. Someone was openly trying to take his wife, yet he ignored it, even cowering in a corner.
This was not the quality of a true man.
Just then, Lin Tianxin arrived.
Ever since her conflict with Yun Fan, her mood had been terrible, and she stayed at home all day.
When the two saw Lin Tianxin, their eyes flickered with admiration. It was said that the Lin family's beloved daughter was beautiful and peerless. When they saw her photo, their hearts were calm, as Lin Tianxin was merely a tool in their eyes, helping them advance further.
Only when they saw her in person did they realize that she was even more captivating than in the photos. However, Lin Tianxin's face was etched with weariness.
At this moment, Lin Tianxin said directly, "Please leave, both of you! I already have a fiancé, so I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you!"
"Miss Lin, your fiancé is not worthy of you, nor can he protect you. He is not your destined match. Marrying this War God is your best choice. This War God will definitely make you the most dazzling woman in China!"
War God Yulong said arrogantly.
Ouyang Shaohui also said, "Miss Lin, if you marry this young master, in the future, I will let you control the Ouyang family!"
Compared to War God Yulong, Ouyang Shaohui's tone was more diplomatic. He wasn't aggressive, but directly promised Lin Tianxin such a great condition.
Of course, both War God Yulong and Ouyang Shaohui knew that Lin Tianxin was just a tool. Once they got what they wanted, Lin Tianxin would have no value, and they could deal with her casually.
Therefore, it didn't matter how grand the promises they made now were.
Lin Tianxin showed no excitement upon hearing this. Although she had fallen out with Yun Fan,
She was a stubborn woman. Once she set her mind on a man, she had no feelings for any other man.
Although these two were high-ranking figures, and countless women wished to marry them, Lin Tianxin knew that the Lin family's situation was far from enough to warrant them fighting over her. Su Dan Novel Network.
If there wasn't some hidden agenda, she wouldn't believe it. Therefore, Lin Tianxin was not swayed by their promises.
So, Lin Tianxin immediately said, "I am just an ordinary person and only wish for a peaceful life. There are many women more outstanding than me in this vast China. Please don't trouble this humble woman!"
Lin Zhenxiong was very satisfied with Lin Tianxin's attitude. It seemed that his daughter's feelings for Yun Fan had reached the point of being inseparable.
This was good. He would just refuse, and leave the rest to fate. If fate insisted on separating Yun Fan and Lin Tianxin, he couldn't help it. Everything was up to chance.
The two didn't expect Lin Tianxin to refuse even more decisively than Lin Zhenxiong. As supreme beings,
they could obtain anything they wanted. Now that they had been rejected, it was impossible for them not to be angry.
War God Yulong was the first to speak. "Miss Lin, no one has ever dared to refuse this War God. If you don't agree, do you believe this War God has ten thousand ways to make you kneel and beg me!"
"Miss Lin, as long as you agree to this young master, what is that War God Yulong? If he dares to harm your Lin family, my Ouyang family will be the first to disagree!"
Ouyang Shaohui smiled slightly. "If you refuse this young master, then this young master will be unable to help!"
Lin Tianxin was furious, she hadn't expected these two to be so despicable, only knowing how to use their power to coerce others into submission.
Undoubtedly, she not only had no good feelings towards them but was also extremely disgusted. No matter what, she would not agree.
Although the situation was stronger than her, she had her own plans, which only required a little time. Therefore, she could only stall for time as much as possible.
"You two call yourselves China's prodigies? In my opinion, you are no different from beasts!"
At this moment, Yun Fan strode in.
War God Yulong's face turned cold. "Kid, if you break your limbs now, this War God will pretend nothing happened!"
War God Yulong had long known that Yun Fan was the master of the Black Dragon Society, whom no one in Jiangnan dared to provoke, and who had single-handedly annihilated the Chen family.
But in his eyes, Yun Fan was just an ant that he could crush if he wished. The reason he didn't kill Yun Fan was that Yun Fan had helped Nightfall resolve the Heavenly Gate.
But Yun Fan dared to insult him, and he would pay a desperate price.
"Yun Fan, you've gone too far!"
Ouyang Shaohui was not as ruthless as War God Yulong because he hoped Yun Fan and War God Yulong would fight each other.
"Yun Fan, you've finally arrived!"
Lin Zhenxiong breathed a sigh of relief. Yun Fan's arrival touched him deeply, but he also didn't want Yun Fan to offend these two magnates.
But the matter had reached a point of no return. He just didn't know if Yun Fan could withstand the pressure from these two.
"He is my fiancé. I hope you two will no longer have improper thoughts about me!" Lin Tianxin said, pointing at Yun Fan.
Yun Fan was completely stunned. "You... you are the Lin family's beloved daughter?"
"Nonsense, don't you know?"
Lin Tianxin rolled her eyes at him, annoyed that he would ask such a question.
As soon as she said this, Yun Fan went from stunned to dumbfounded. He had thought Lin Tianxin was just a foot masseuse.
At most, she was being kept by Lin Zhenxiong. He had never imagined that Lin Tianxin was the Lin family's beloved daughter.
"Then Lin Ya..."
Yun Fan regained his senses and asked curiously.
Lin Tianxin said, "She is an abandoned girl adopted by my father. Why are you asking about her?"
Now Yun Fan finally confirmed that Lin Tianxin was the Lin family's beloved daughter. Thinking that he had treated her as a foot masseuse and was being kept, Yun Fan couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.
Especially the words he had said to Lin Tianxin in front of the film crew's gate. Now, it seemed he was the clown.
He hadn't expected such a huge misunderstanding to occur between him and his fiancée. Yun Fan couldn't help but force a bitter smile.
Of course, he had not only misunderstood Lin Tianxin but also Lin Zhenxiong. He owed the Lin family an apology.
"If I said I didn't know you were the Lin family's beloved daughter before, would you believe me?"
Yun Fan said sheepishly.
"What?"
Lin Tianxin almost dropped her jaw. She had always wondered why Yun Fan's address to her was always so strange. So, it turned out this guy didn't know her identity.
Yun Fan continued, "I always thought Lin Ya was the Lin family's beloved daughter, and you..."
He wanted to say that she was a foot masseuse being kept by Lin Zhenxiong, but it was inappropriate to say that now.
Upon hearing this, it wasn't just Lin Tianxin who was surprised, but also Lin Zhenxiong. No wonder Yun Fan had always been indifferent when he came to the Lin family.
It turned out he had mistaken Lin Ya for the Lin family's beloved daughter.
How could Lin Ya be worthy of Yun Fan? This misunderstanding was too great. But they didn't know how this misunderstanding had occurred.
Just as the father and daughter were about to clarify the reason, War God Yulong said coldly, "Kid, today this War God wants you to break off your engagement with her. Do you have any objections?"
After speaking, War God Yulong released all his pressure onto Yun Fan. He believed Yun Fan would definitely agree.
If Yun Fan agreed, Lin Tianxin would be extremely disappointed, and her heart would turn away from Yun Fan. Then, he would mock her a few times.
Lin Tianxin would inevitably marry him. As for Yun Fan, whether he agreed or not, in his eyes, he was already dead. Because in China, no one had ever dared to mock War God Yulong, the future only King by adoption of China.
"No objections!"
Yun Fan answered directly.
"What?"
"Yun Fan, you..."
The Lin family father and daughter were completely bewildered. They thought Yun Fan would not compromise, but unexpectedly, he compromised so readily.
However, his compromise was normal. After all, War God Yulong's background was too immense. Even Yun Fan wouldn't dare to offend him.
Ouyang Shaohui was also disappointed. He had hoped Yun Fan and War God Yulong would fight, so he could reap the benefits.
Now that Yun Fan had directly conceded, his plan was ruined.
"You know what's good for you!"
War God Yulong revealed a triumphant smile. This was the result he had expected all along. Otherwise, a War God's wrath would spill blood for a thousand miles.
However, the next moment, Yun Fan directly said, "As long as you kneel before me and call me Grandpa a hundred times, I will consider it."
"What?"
No one expected such a reversal, which was completely beyond their expectations.
Lin Tianxin breathed a sigh of relief. This guy was as annoying and lovable as ever.
As for Lin Zhenxiong, he was a little worried. Because when Yun Fan said this, it meant he had completely offended War God Yulong.
But so be it! In his opinion, although Yun Fan was irrational, he was a passionate man with a sense of responsibility.
With such an excellent son-in-law, why should the Lin family care about life and death?
After a brief moment of silence, Ouyang Shaohui sneered, "War God Yulong, from what this young master sees, your title isn't that impressive. No one takes you seriously. I advise you to go back to your border honestly!"
"Slap!"
Just then, War God Yulong smashed the marble table in front of him to pieces with one palm.
"Kid, this War God spared your life for your merit in destroying the Heavenly Gate, but you've courted death. Today, this War God will personally eliminate you!"
As soon as he spoke, the air was filled with anger and killing intent.
Everyone felt like they were facing a great enemy. Indeed, he was worthy of being China's youngest War God. Even before he made a move, there was such terrifying pressure.
However, Yun Fan calmly said, "No wonder Nightfall is so weak. It turns out the Lord of Nightfall is a waste!"
"You are courting death!"
War God Yulong immediately attacked.
However, at this moment, a large number of reporters suddenly swarmed into the Lin family's residence.
"War God Yulong, are you here in Jiangnan to forcibly seize the Lin family's property?"
"And Young Master Ouyang, aren't your Ouyang family enemies with War God Yulong? Are you here with War God Yulong now, preparing to compromise with him?"
Then, the reporters began to ask questions incessantly.
This left War God Yulong and Ouyang Shaohui dumbfounded. They didn't know how these reporters had arrived.
But he and War God Yulong were enemies. If this matter were to get out, the Ouyang family would definitely be disappointed in him.
Therefore, at this moment, he quickly left in disgrace.
War God Yulong did not stay longer. He was a high and mighty figure, the youngest War God in China, with unmatched prestige and an excellent reputation.
If he continued to make trouble today, his reputation would surely be damaged. If it reached the ears of the authorities,
then his ennoblement as King would become uncertain. Therefore, even if he wanted to kill Yun Fan, he could only give up at this moment.
Let alone giving up, he didn't even dare to make any threats, because in this era of advanced internet, just one wrong word could cost him his future.
Seeing the two leave, the reporters also didn't linger.
That's right, all of this was arranged by Lin Tianxin. She knew that the backgrounds of these two were powerful, and the Lin family absolutely could not afford to offend them.
Therefore, she had orchestrated this whole thing, secretly contacting those reporters and then promising them generous benefits.
That's why these bold reporters came. Although they were afraid of offending these two, there were so many of them!
Even if these two took their anger out on them, they would have to consider the pros and cons. Therefore, they came together, not only receiving generous benefits but also gaining popularity. This was a win-win situation.
After everyone left, the Lin family became much quieter. Lin Zhenxiong was still wiping sweat on the side. At this moment, when Yun Fan looked at Lin Tianxin, his face showed embarrassment.
"Don't you owe me an explanation?"
Lin Tianxin asked coldly.
Yun Fan was instantly dumbfounded. Shouldn't the Lin family be the ones to explain to him? How had it become his turn to explain to the Lin family?
"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. When I came to the Lin family, the first person I saw was Lin Ya, so I took her as the Lin family's beloved daughter!"
Yun Fan explained the misunderstanding directly. At this moment, he wished he could dig up Lin Ya's corpse from her grave and whip it severely.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, then let it go!"
Lin Zhenxiong came to mediate. "Yun Fan, Tianxin, this is fate. Now that you have finally achieved perfect harmony, when do you plan to get married?"
Before Yun Fan could answer, Lin Tianxin interrupted him. "Yun Fan, why did you falsely accuse this mother of being kept?"
Facing this question, Yun Fan was immediately speechless, unsure how to answer.
"If you don't explain clearly today, this mother will not forgive you!" Lin Tianxin said angrily. She could accept being called a foot masseuse because that was a misunderstanding, but calling her kept was too much.
Therefore, she now needed an explanation.
Lin Zhenxiong was also stunned. It seemed this misunderstanding was indeed not a small one. However, he also wanted to know the basis for Yun Fan's claim that Lin Tianxin was being kept.
Facing the father and daughter's questioning, Yun Fan now wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. He had been careless. If he had investigated thoroughly earlier, there wouldn't be such a big misunderstanding now.
Finally, he told the truth. "Well... that is, I often saw you coming and going from the Lin family, and I thought the Lin family's beloved daughter was Lin Ya. Then, for you to be coming and going from the Lin family, there could only be one possibility: that you were being kept by this old lecher... Patriarch Lin!"
"You..."
Lin Tianxin's vision went black, and she almost choked to death. Listen to what this guy was saying!
Lin Zhenxiong had sorted out all his thoughts. No wonder Yun Fan had said such strange things the last time he visited the Lin family.
At this moment, Lin Tianxin said angrily, "So, in your eyes, I am so worthless!"
Tears welled up in her eyes, tears of sadness.
Yun Fan felt immense self-reproach. He had thought Lin Tianxin was able to subsidize those orphans because she was being kept. Little did he know, she was the Lin family's beloved daughter.
He now wished he could slap himself. How could someone who could contend with Jiang Xueyan be just a foot masseuse?
"I'm sorry!"
Yun Fan apologized, because he indeed owed Lin Tianxin an apology.
"Yun Fan, we are all family, why apologize? Since the misunderstanding has been cleared up, I believe Tianxin has already forgiven you in her heart!"
Lin Zhenxiong said excitedly, "I have decided, you two pick a date and get married. Only after experiencing these trials will your relationship become even deeper!"
"I disagree!"
Lin Tianxin said directly, "As long as he hasn't cut ties with those women, I will not agree to him!"
