Chapter 101: Caught in the Act?
Ning City Lord’s Mansion.
Zhao Yucheng arrived at Zhao Yazhi’s room after hearing from her maid that she had locked herself in since her return.
With a dark expression on his face, he knocked on the door and said in a deep voice, “Yazhi, open the door!”
After a while, the door slowly opened and Zhao Yazhi appeared, disheveled and wrapped in a robe.
Her face was unnaturally flushed, and she forced a smile, “Father, you’re looking for me?”
“Why so long?” Zhao Yucheng asked in surprise.
Zhao Yazhi lowered her voice, “I just fell asleep.”
“Asleep?”
Zhao Yucheng looked at her suspiciously and frowned, “Why is your lip so red?”
Zhao Yazhi wiped her lips and said indifferently, “Just some leftover blush.”
“Father, it’s so late, what do you want from me?”
Zhao Yucheng entered the room and sat down, his face as dark as water.
“I ask you, do you know what you did wrong tonight?”
Zhao Yazhi hummed and said, “I know, I should not have publicly embarrassed you by breaking off the engagement with the Lin family.”
Zhao Yucheng slammed the table angrily, “You knew and did it anyway? Are you trying to drive me to death?”
Zhao Yazhi didn’t care, “If I hadn’t done it, you wouldn’t let me break off the engagement.”
Zhao Yucheng sneered, “And the result? You made a scene and got dumped! Do you think people are laughing at the Lin family and Lin Fengmian?”
“They are laughing at me for not knowing how to raise a daughter, and they are laughing at you for being blind. Are you satisfied now?”
Zhao Yazhi clenched her fists and bit her lip, “It is he who is not worthy of me, not me who is blind!”
“No one has ever humiliated me like this, for today’s humiliation, I will make him pay a hundred times over!”
Zhao Yucheng didn’t expect her to be so stubborn, and almost killed himself with his anger.
“You broke off the engagement and still feel wronged? You’re humiliating yourself, do you know that?”
“Even if I was wrong, is he not to blame at all? He publicly broke off our engagement, didn’t he consider my feelings?” Zhao Yazhi argued.
Zhao Yucheng was almost amused, “Did you consider his and the Lin family’s feelings when you broke off the engagement?”
Zhao Yazhi still didn’t think she was wrong, “Being dumped will only be laughed at for a while, but as a woman, being dumped will be pointed out for a lifetime.”
Zhao Yucheng looked at his stubborn daughter and suppressed his anger, “Tomorrow, come with me to the Lin family to apologize, the engagement can still be saved.”
Zhao Yazhi stubbornly said, “I’d rather die than go, if you want to go, go yourself, no matter how powerful he is, he’s just a discarded disciple of a sect, I’m different from him!”
“Master said I have excellent spiritual roots, I will surely achieve great things in the future, sooner or later he will have to kneel down and beg me, then see how I deal with him!”
Originally, she thought that Lu Xun was quite powerful, but now, in her eyes, he’s just an ordinary person.
The so-called cultivation genius couldn’t even defeat Lin Fengmian, who had only been practicing for three years, let alone herself.
According to Huanglong Zhenren, she has extraordinary talent, and with the help of the treasure he gave her, she will definitely surpass others.
Right now, in her eyes, Lin Fengmian, Lu Xun, are just the first to embark on the cultivation path.
When she becomes powerful, she will make Lin Fengmian pay for today’s humiliation in full.
Zhao Yucheng couldn’t understand how he could raise such a daughter and almost spat blood.
“What are you going to do now? Break off the engagement?”
Zhao Yazhi sneered, “I will not break off the engagement, nor will I accept the cancellation decree!”
Just as Zhao Yucheng was about to say something, someone rushed in from outside.
This person was Zhao Yucheng’s adopted son, Zhao Heng, who was capable and trusted by Zhao Yucheng.
Zhao Yucheng waved his hand, “Speak.”
Zhao Heng hurriedly said, “I just received news, Master Huanglong and Master Lu went to Tian Yue Tower together and had a conflict with the Lin family.”
Zhao Yucheng jumped in fear and quickly stood up, “No, Yazhi, come with me to stop your master and senior brother, don’t cause any trouble.”
Zhao Yazhi shook her head, “I won’t go, he deserves to die, it’s best if Master kills him!”
“You!” Zhao Yucheng raised his hand and almost slapped her.
Zhao Heng quickly stopped him, “Father, don’t get angry, Master Huanglong has already left.”
Zhao Yucheng’s face darkened, “No major incidents, right?”
Zhao Heng’s expression was strange, “According to the news from the Lin family, Master Huanglong originally wanted to forcibly seize the Immortal Sword in Brother Lin’s.”
“But Brother Lin took out a token, and he left in a hurry, even apologizing to Brother Lin, who then mocked him.”
Zhao Yucheng looked incredulous, “Are you telling the truth?”
Zhao Yazhi was even more incredulous, her voice sharp, “That’s impossible, he’s just a waste, how could Master be afraid of him!”
Zhao Heng nodded, “I dare not deceive Father, many people witnessed it at the scene, I verified it before coming to report”.
The father and daughter of the Zhao family were stunned, as if they were listening to a fairy tale.
Zhao Yazhi could not believe it, “Where did he get such power?”
Zhao Heng respectfully said, “According to those present, Brother Lin seemed to be a distinguished guest of Heavenly Patrol Tower, so he was able to scare off Master Huanglong.”
Zhao Yucheng’s eyes lit up as he muttered, “Heavenly Patrol Tower! I didn’t expect him to have a relationship with Heavenly Patrol Tower.”
“Yazhi, he is no longer the Lin Fengmian of the past.
Come with me to the Lin family tomorrow.”
Zhao Yazhi still stubbornly said, “I won’t go to see his smug face!”
Zhao Yucheng sneered, “Now, even if you want to be related to him, he may not even care about you. We’re going to ask him for a favor.”
“For the fox spirit incident in the city, asking your cheap master is completely useless, it seems we have to ask him.”
Zhao Yazhi suddenly stopped talking, her eyes complex, not knowing what she was thinking.
The father and daughter of the Zhao family would also have a sleepless night like Lin Fengmian, and there were many others in the city who couldn’t sleep because of Lin Fengmian.
The next morning, the fifth of July.
Lin Fengmian, who had been busy all night, was awakened by a knock at the door and hugged Xia Yunxi in a daze.
It was almost noon when he was disturbed and grumbled, “Who is it? Disturbing people’s sleep so early in the morning!”
Xia Yunxi, who had been exhausted by him until the middle of the night, also woke up in a daze, nervously pulling the blanket to cover her body, leaving only a small head exposed, looking extremely cute.
“Who else? Your mother! The sun is almost burning your butt, get up!” Li Zhuxuan said irritably from outside the door.
Lin Fengmian suddenly sat up from his half-asleep state, astonished, “Mother, what do you want from me?”
