Chapter 96: After Beating The Younger One, Here Comes The Older One
Lin Fengmian saw Lu Xun’s pale face, as if his pride had been hurt. He stopped her and said, “Alright, let’s go.”
Zhou Xiaoping snorted softly, too lazy to argue with Lu Xun. She held out the wine in her hand and said, “Good performance, here you go. The temperature is just right.”
Lin Fengmian took the cup, drank it in one gulp, and felt a refreshing coolness spread through him.
He casually threw the cup into the lotus pond behind him and laughed heartily, “Good wine, refreshing!”
He led the two women over to Zhao Yazhi and smiled slightly, “Ready to admit defeat? Shall we write the annulment letter now, or shall I have someone deliver it to your house tomorrow?”
Zhao Yazhi didn’t know what she was feeling – embarrassment, humiliation, or regret?
When she saw Lin Fengmian hugging the beauties and his triumphant expression, she couldn’t help but slap him.
Lin Fengmian reacted quickly and grabbed her hand. He coldly said, “What are you doing? Can’t you take a loss?”
Zhao Yazhi didn’t expect the person she had once easily subdued to now effortlessly hold her down.
She glared at Lin Fengmian, hatred flashing in her eyes.
“You bastard, let go! Don’t think that just because you won, we’re done. We’ll see!”
She forcefully pulled back her hand and ran away, her retreating figure looking utterly defeated.
Lu Xun, his face lost, quietly disappeared from the scene. Only Zhao Yucheng remained.
When Lin Wencheng saw the current situation, he couldn’t help but sigh, “Brother Zhao, since Yazhi doesn’t like my son Fengmian, let’s just annul the marriage, as they say. What do you think?”
Zhao Yucheng looked at Lin Fengmian but hesitated, “Brother Lin, Yazhi was just confused for a moment. This time, it’s my fault for not teaching her well. I’ll go back and discipline her properly.”
“Brother Lin, how about we discuss this further?”
He wasn’t completely worried about losing face, but rather saw the potential and strength that Lin Fengmian showed.
Lin Fengmian, who currently has no power, would be invaluable if he could be brought into the Zhao family.
Lin Wencheng didn’t want to refuse outright, so he politely said, “Brother Zhao, this is a matter between the younger generation. I won’t interfere. Let them handle it.”
However, Lin Fengmian firmly refused, “Uncle Zhao, there’s no need to think about it anymore. Yazhi has no good feelings for me, and I have no good feelings for her.”
“A forced relationship won’t work, and I already have someone I like. This marriage is over, whether it’s the Zhao family’s decision or mine, it doesn’t matter.”
He had already shown his strength. Even if the Zhao family annulled the marriage, everyone would only ridicule Zhao Yazhi for being blind, not call him weak.
So it didn’t matter who initiated the annulment. He didn’t mind playing along.
Seeing Lin Fengmian’s polite yet firm stance, Zhao Yucheng couldn’t help but regret his actions. He waved his hands repeatedly.
“Fengmian, don’t rush, I’ll go back and convince Yazhi. Wait for my good news.”
Without giving Lin Fengmian a chance to answer, he hurried away.
As everyone watched, their attitude toward Lin Fengmian changed drastically. They showered him with compliments.
“Fengmian is truly impressive! I knew that Fengmian was a handsome and promising young man. He’s bound to achieve great things.”
“Of course! Look at his demeanor, Zhao Yazhi is just blind to his worth. Our Fengmian is too good for her.”
“Didn’t you see how close she came to crying with remorse? That woman is just not good enough!”
…
Lin Fengmian listened to these people’s effusive praise with a wry smile. He didn’t let it go to his head.
Wen Qinlin and Zhou Xiaoping looked at the fickle faces of these people and couldn’t help but feel speechless.
“Lin Fengmian, your relatives have thick skin,” Zhou Xiaoping said with a sneer.
Lin Fengmian laughed heartily, “Don’t mind them, they’re always like this.”
Wen Qinlin smiled, “Brother Lin, your cultivation is more profound than I imagined. Your strength is impressive, to say the least.”
Lin Fengmian felt a chill run down his spine. He had just held Wen Qinlin’s beloved woman, and she must be angry.
“Brother Wen, you are flattering me. It’s just a little trick, nothing special.”
He leaned closer to his ear and whispered, “Brother Wen, I have nothing for Sister Zhou. I swear, I’m not that kind of person.”
Wen Qinlin felt a tickle from his breath and quickly moved away.
“Hmph, you better be. Otherwise…”
Lin Fengmian quickly said, “Brother Wen, rest assured, a friend’s women is off limits!”
Wen Qinlin didn’t bother to explain further. Let him think like this for now. What if he had plans for Xiaoping later?
Although the banquet was interrupted, the atmosphere didn’t get cold. Instead, it became even more lively.
Lin Fengmian and his four companions sat together, laughing and chatting, forming their own small group that was different from the others.
Before he showed his strength, such behavior would have been considered disrespectful to elders and arrogant.
But now, it was considered carefree and unique, leaving Lin Fengmian both amused and confused.
The good times were short-lived. Half an hour later, a series of piercing sounds echoed in the sky, and two streaks of light shot down from the sky.
The crowd exclaimed, “My God, meteors are falling!”
“No, it’s two immortals!”
Lin Fengmian also looked up and chuckled softly, “Looks like striking the young has brought the old.”
Zhou Xiaoping scoffed, “Shameless!”
Lin Fengmian turned to Wen Qinlin and asked, “What is it?”
Wen Qinlin calmly took a sip of his wine and said, “Just fake Core Cultivators, flimsy as paper.”
Lin Fengmian laughed heartily, “Then I’ll go out and take care of it. If I can’t, Brother Wen, please lend me a hand.”
Wen Qinlin was still a bit annoyed and simply replied, “We’ll see.”
Lin Fengmian secretly groaned, it seemed like he was on his own this time!
The two streaks of light landed in the middle of the courtyard, their light fading to reveal an old man and a young man.
The young man was Lu Xun, who had left earlier. The old man had a youthful appearance despite his long white beard and flowing robes. He looked like a heavenly being, radiating an aura of power.
Lin Wencheng immediately stood up and said, “Master Huanglong, what brings you here?”
Master Huanglong’s eyes shining with divine light fixed on Lin Wencheng. His voice was stern but not angry, “I’ve heard that there’s a skilled young cultivator here who taught my incompetent disciple a lesson and even damaged my spiritual tool. I have come to see for myself.”
With each word, Lin Wencheng’s face grew paler. Finally, he forced a smile and said, “My son is disrespectful. Please forgive him, Master Huanglong.”
The other relatives couldn’t help but feel intimidated. Master Huanglong was like a god in their eyes.
They never expected to see him in such a situation.
Master Huanglong let out a meaningful “Oh” and smiled, feigning surprise, “So it’s the young master of the Lin family. I thought it was someone else. I just wanted to see this talented young man.”
