Jing Qiao

Chapter 73 Seeking Marriage with the Lin Family (Two-in-One)

Zhuque’s mood was not good after returning to the Jiangnan base, because she had tried her best to cooperate last night, what a good opportunity!

She didn’t expect Yun Fan to be able to resist. Was her charm not enough?

The more Zhuque thought about it, the angrier she became. But as soon as she entered the base, she froze on the spot.

At this moment, the Battle God Yulong was sitting in the base. Apart from him, everyone else stood respectfully beside him.

“Battle God, you’re back?”

Zhuque had thought that the Battle God Yulong would stay in Jinling for some time, but unexpectedly, he came directly to Jiangnan.

This truly surprised Zhuque.

The Battle God Yulong stepped forward and said to Zhuque affectionately, “The reason I didn’t notify you was to give you a surprise!”

“Hehe!”

Zhuque smiled and was quite respectful of the Battle God Yulong’s words, which made him a little confused.

Because in the past, Zhuque would have been very excited to see him, but this time, she seemed very calm.

This did not seem to be in line with Zhuque’s usual behavior.

“You all go down!”

“Yes!”

After everyone retreated, only he and Zhuque remained.

“Zhuque, it was my fault for making you wait for three years, but a true man should take protecting the country as his duty. Now that I have returned, I will stay for a long time!”

He thought that these words would make Zhuque cry with emotion, but unexpectedly, Zhuque quickly said, “Battle God, please be careful with your words. I am merely your subordinate and dare not have any expectations!”

Hearing this, the Battle God Yulong chuckled, “Don’t be so formal. Although I am now, there are not many women in the world who are worthy of me!”

“I cannot give you a title, but I can make you my woman!”

The Battle God Yulong said this to make Zhuque relax, after all, it was not easy to become the woman of the Battle God Yulong.

Who knew Zhuque would say, “Battle God, I am not worthy of you. Please do not say such things in the future!”

With that, she turned and left.

The Battle God Yulong stood there stunned. In his eyes, Zhuque seemed to have become someone else.

But he did not give up. After all, Zhuque was his intended woman, and he would have her this time, no matter what.

After returning to her room, Zhuque shed silent tears.

In the past, her admiration for the Battle God Yulong was genuine, and she had even fantasized countless times about becoming his woman.

To become the woman of China’s youngest Battle God was definitely her dream.

But it was not until she met Yun Fan that she realized her feelings for the Battle God Yulong were merely admiration, not romantic love.

She also did not want to bear the pressure and make things difficult for the Battle God Yulong, so when he made that request, she did not agree.

She didn’t know why, but she strongly rejected his words in her heart.

However, she also knew that it seemed impossible for her and Yun Fan to be together. After all, if the Battle God Yulong knew about her and Yun Fan, he would definitely not let Yun Fan off the hook.

She did not want anything to happen to Yun Fan, so at this time, she decided to bear it silently and find an appropriate opportunity to talk to the Battle God Yulong about it later.

Of course, what she did not know was why the Battle God Yulong had come to Jiangnan. She did not think that the Battle God Yulong had come to Jiangnan for her.

So, at this time, her heart was filled with complex emotions. Did it mean that the Battle God Yulong already knew about her and Yun Fan?

On the third day, the film crew resumed shooting as usual.

Yun Fan did not reject acting at first, but now he had no desire to act at all because his Senior Sister was always adding scenes for the male and female leads.

If it were any other kind of scene, it would be fine, but she kept adding romantic plots. In Yun Fan’s opinion, this was ridiculous.

But he had already promised his Sixth Senior Sister, so he had to continue acting, even if it meant with tears in his eyes.

Of course, he was not the only one suffering; Lin Tianxin was too.

As the villainess, in Lin Tianxin’s understanding, normal TV dramas always gave the villainess a significant advantage.

She would suppress the male and female leads in the early and middle stages, only falling into a disadvantage in the later stages and then being defeated by them.

Who knew that she had been suppressed by the female lead from the beginning, who tormented her with various means? This was definitely the most pathetic villainess in history.

It made Lin Tianxin think that she was the female lead, and Yang Xuejian was the villainess.

She now regretted agreeing to Jiang Xueyan to act in such a terrible drama. If she had known, she would never have come, even if she were beaten to death.

In the afternoon, the film crew wrapped up for the day. Lin Tianxin, dragging her tired body, prepared to go home. But at this moment, she saw Yang Xuejian intimately wiping sweat for Yun Fan.

Lin Tianxin, who had already been displeased with Yun Fan’s flirtatiousness, was filled with rage at this moment. Coupled with the torment she had suffered in the drama, it was the last straw that broke her rationality.

When Yun Fan came out of the film crew, he found Lin Tianxin waiting for him at the door.

“Foot massage girl, you haven’t left yet?”

Yun Fan asked with a chuckle. Of course, he felt some sympathy for Lin Tianxin; playing a villainess was like fighting with her life.

He had wanted to persuade Lin Tianxin to quit several times, but acting was also a source of income for Lin Tianxin, so he gave up persuading her.

At worst, he would give Lin Tianxin a little more remuneration to appease her.

Yun Fan knew that Lin Tianxin’s profession was subject to much criticism. If this TV drama became a big hit, then the villainess Lin Tianxin would have made a great contribution.

If she could be guided onto the path of acting in the future, it would be a good choice, and she might even escape that old pervert, Lin Zhenxiong.

“Hmph!”

Lin Tianxin snorted coldly, “If I leave, wouldn’t I miss that ambiguous moment of a big star wiping sweat for you!”

Hearing Lin Tianxin’s sarcastic taunts, Yun Fan instinctively explained, “She is my Sixth Senior Sister, and I am her little brother. What’s wrong with an elder sister wiping sweat for her younger brother?”

In Yun Fan’s opinion, all of this was normal! When he was young, his Seventh Senior Sister used to bathe him.

It was only after his Seventh Senior Sister repeatedly took advantage of him when he grew up that he stopped letting her help.

But Lin Tianxin said coldly, “Still brother and sister? I think you two have been together for a long time!”

Even Yun Fan didn’t know why this foot massage girl was inexplicably jealous, so he said seriously, “First of all, we are not together, and secondly, even if we were, it has nothing to do with you, right!”

“Finally admit it?”

Lin Tianxin scorned, “Do you know? Every time I see you, Zhao Fanghua, Yang Xuejian, and Jiang Xueyan clinging together, I feel disgusted!”

Although Yun Fan had a powerful background, he was also her fiancé. What woman could accept her fiancé being a playboy?

He was flirting with women all day long, and he was so unapologetic, without any sense of shame. Su Dan Novel Network

Yun Fan was very angry. He didn’t know why this foot massage girl was throwing such a tantrum. He and Lin Tianxin had always been just friends!

Why was she jealous?

Also, he didn’t know how this foot massage girl had the nerve to say disgusted. Helping people with foot massages all day was her profession, and he couldn’t say much about it.

But he had repeatedly tried to help Lin Tianxin escape the hardship of being kept, but Lin Tianxin had refused time and again. Wasn’t that disgusting?

So, Yun Fan said, “I don’t have any ambiguous relationship with them, and even if I were sticking with them, you have no right to say anything to me!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Tianxin became furious. She was Yun Fan’s fiancée, so who else had the right if she didn’t?

“Heh!”

Lin Tianxin sneered, “Is this your attitude? Don’t think that just because you have a powerful background, you can do whatever you want. You have never respected me!”

With that, Lin Tianxin’s eyes welled up with tears.

Seeing this, Yun Fan wanted to comfort her, but he was inexplicably angry. He did his thing, and Lin Tianxin enjoyed her life of being kept. Why should he care about Lin Tianxin’s feelings?

Unintentionally, Yun Fan said angrily, “Before you criticize me, take a look at yourself!”

“What’s wrong with me?”

Lin Tianxin asked angrily. As Yun Fan’s fiancée, she was qualified. At first, she disagreed because she felt Yun Fan liked to flirt too much.

But later, Yun Fan had saved her life several times, and she had changed her mind. That is, as long as Yun Fan was willing to change his playboy habits, she would agree to marry him.

Even in her eyes, Yun Fan had some hidden ailment, but she thought that such a life was not necessary. She had never had such dirty thoughts.

As long as the two of them walked together for life, it would be enough.

She had to admit that as Yun Fan’s fiancée, this was all she could do.

Yun Fan said, “You know it yourself!”

With that, he was about to leave. As a man, he should maintain his demeanor and not argue with women.

But Lin Tianxin aggressively stepped forward to block him, “If you don’t explain it clearly, I won’t let you go today!”

Seeing Lin Tianxin’s aggressive demeanor, Yun Fan became angry, “You are being kept, what right do you have to judge me!”

Yun Fan didn’t want to expose her scars, but Lin Tianxin’s attitude angered him.

Lin Tianxin, who was already angry, was now like adding fuel to the fire. When was she ever kept?

Did she, the dignified Miss Lin, need to be kept?

In her opinion, this was just Yun Fan admitting defeat and being unable to refute, so he was slandering her.

If he didn’t slander her, then Yun Fan’s playboy nature would be unwarranted.

Without a doubt, she was now heartbroken by Yun Fan. Why would he slander her with such absurd and shameless words?

“Slap!”

Unable to suppress her anger any longer, she directly slapped Yun Fan.

However, Yun Fan reacted too quickly and blocked her slap, so it hit Yun Fan’s arm instead of his face.

At this moment, Yun Fan asked angrily, “Are you done with your tantrum?”

“Here is your stuff! From now on, I never want to have anything to do with you again!”

With that, Lin Tianxin angrily took off the necklace from her neck and threw it heavily on the ground.

The originally dazzling Heart of Rainbow now looked dim and lifeless.

Before Yun Fan could speak, Lin Tianxin drove away.

Looking at the Heart of Rainbow scattered on the ground, Yun Fan felt a pang in his heart.

He knew it was his fault. Exposing the truth had been a huge blow to Lin Tianxin.

But now that things had come to this, what else could he say? It just made him confused why Lin Tianxin would rather reject his help than enjoy being kept.

In Yun Fan’s opinion, there was only one possibility: Lin Tianxin had fallen in love with that old pervert.

In Jiangnan, the casually dressed Battle God Yulong was sitting opposite the figure in black in a restaurant.

“Has anyone been trying to get their hands on that item recently?”

Hearing this, the figure in black quickly said, “My Lord, please rest assured, no one is trying to get their hands on that item!”

“That’s good!”

The Battle God Yulong breathed a sigh of relief. Although with his absolute strength, no one could compete with him, and anyone who dared to compete was no different from courting death.

But if something unexpected happened, it would not be good. His ability to achieve the title of King depended entirely on that item.

“My Lord, actually, if you think about it, it’s not an item, but a person!”

The figure in black explained.

When the Battle God Yulong heard this, he was immediately interested. His master had asked this subordinate to find that item.

Unexpectedly, fifteen years had passed, and it was not until his master was on his deathbed that he revealed this secret to him.

He was very interested in that item, but because he had to retrieve it himself, he could only leave it for now.

Moreover, with his strength back then, that item had little value to him. He never expected that item to be a person.

“Who is it?”

The Battle God Yulong asked.

The other party said, “Miss Lin Tianxin of the Lin family!”

As soon as he heard this, the Battle God Yulong froze. He was not very interested in the name Lin Tianxin.

Instead, he wanted to know how a rich young lady could have such means to attract the attention of multiple forces, even under strict secrecy.

If this were leaked, it would have been his long ago.

Then, the figure in black explained Lin Tianxin’s physique.

The Battle God Yulong’s interest was piqued, “Very good, I want this Xuan Yin physique. I will personally go to propose marriage soon!”

In the Battle God Yulong’s opinion, although Lin Tianxin was a great beauty, it was not important. Even if she were an ugly woman, he would accept her.

Because he wanted Lin Tianxin’s physique. As for women, with his status as the Battle God Yulong, he could have any beauty he wanted.

The reason he would go to propose marriage was to take Lin Tianxin and then spend a year stripping her physique.

After her physique was stripped, Lin Tianxin would die, but being his wife for a year would be enough compensation for Lin Tianxin.

“That would be best!”

“Alright, you may go down!”

The figure in black had taken a few steps when he turned back.

“Do you have something else?”

The Battle God Yulong looked at him displeasedly.

The figure in black said calmly, “When the former master was still alive, he promised me that if I helped the master accomplish this task, I would be granted freedom!”

Hearing this, the Battle God Yulong immediately smashed the table.

“Bang!”

With a crisp sound, the figure in black was startled.

“Hmph!”

The Battle God Yulong said coldly, “Being my lackey is the most glorious achievement of your life! Not only are you not grateful, but you dare to leave?”

He was about to be crowned King, and countless people would beg to follow him. Yet, this person was so unappreciative that he couldn’t help but be angry.

The figure in black quickly said, “It was my fault. Please don’t take it to heart, Master. From now on, I will never mention leaving and will serve you with all my heart!”

“That’s more like it!”

The Battle God Yulong sneered, “Scram!”

“Yes!”

The figure in black was relieved and respectfully withdrew.

However, after the figure in black left, he did not go anywhere else but to Ouyang Shaohui’s residence.

At this moment, Ouyang Shaohui already knew that the Battle God Yulong had come to Jiangnan, but he had not seen the Battle God Yulong make a move against Yun Fan.

Moreover, he had a bad premonition. He felt that the Battle God Yulong might also be after that item.

Similarly, he did not know that Lin Tianxin was the treasure he desired.

Having the Battle God Yulong as a competitor was not a good thing for him.

Just then, the figure in black arrived.

“You can sneak into my room without being discovered by my subordinates, which proves you have some skills!”

Ouyang Shaohui looked at him coldly.

He had known for a long time that this person was the one who had killed the White Tiger and then joined forces with Wang Hu Sha to deal with Yun Fan.

It was a pity that although this person’s methods and wisdom were good, his strength was too weak. He had sent people to track this person before.

But he was quickly shaken off, so at this moment, he really wanted to know who this person was.

“Please forgive my abrupt intrusion, Young Master. However, I have come today to give you a great gift!”

“What gift?”

Ouyang Shaohui asked in confusion.

Then, he revealed the purpose of the Battle God Yulong’s visit to Jiangnan and the secret of who the treasure was.

“What?”

Ouyang Shaohui was stunned. He never expected that the treasure was a person. Clearly, his shock was no less than that of the Battle God Yulong.

“Yes!”

The figure in black said, “But now, many people are coveting her. There is Yun Fan, the Battle God Yulong, and of course, Young Master you!”

Ouyang Shaohui sneered, “You have told me such a big secret, and I would like to know what you want?”

Ouyang Shaohui was not stupid. He knew that since the other party had told him so much, he must have a purpose.

The figure in black said, “Young Master is indeed a brilliant strategist. I do have a small goal, but I believe it will not be difficult for Young Master!”

“Oh! Tell me about it!”

Ouyang Shaohui sneered, “You are the first person to dare to negotiate terms with me!”

“My goal is very simple: after this matter is over, I need a new identity, one that no one can trace.”

As soon as he said this, Ouyang Shaohui looked confused. “With your strength and ability, do you need me for such a small matter?”

The figure in black smiled, “One is subject to circumstances in the martial world. I do have the ability, but there will always be clues.”

“Therefore, this matter still needs Young Master’s help to resolve it!”

Ouyang Shaohui directly agreed, “Okay, after this matter is over, this small matter will be handed over to me. No one will recognize you then, including me!”

“Then thank you, Young Master!”

The figure in black said gratefully.

However, at this moment, Ouyang Shaohui was staring at him intently.

“Does Young Master have anything else?”

He asked in confusion.

Ouyang Shaohui said, “There’s nothing else, but I want to see your true face!”

“My true face is not good-looking, Young Master should not be curious!”

He smiled and responded calmly.

“What if Young Master insists on seeing it?”

Ouyang Shaohui’s face turned cold. He did not fall for his tricks.

The figure in black smiled, “Since Young Master has this request, I should satisfy it. But I am working for Young Master now. It is better for me to make arrangements if my identity is unknown.”

After hearing this, Ouyang Shaohui did not insist further. “As long as you help me achieve this goal, I will not treat you badly!”

“Young Master is joking, I only have that purpose!”

“Alright! Go!”

Lin Family.

At this moment, Lin Zhenxiong was pacing frantically.

Because today, he received two invitations. One was from the Battle God Yulong, and the other was from Ouyang Shaohui.

Although they had not arrived yet, they had written their intentions on the invitations.

What troubled Lin Zhenxiong was that they only had one purpose: to propose marriage to the Lin family and ask for Lin Tianxin’s hand in marriage.

These two people had great backgrounds. In front of them, he was completely insignificant, like an ant.

Therefore, he could not afford to offend either of them, nor did he dare to refuse their visits.

But he was not ungrateful. Since he had promised the Old Heavenly Master of Guigu to marry his daughter to Yun Fan, he would not break his promise.

Besides, he truly liked Yun Fan as his son-in-law. He had only been in Jiangnan for a short time, and Yun Fan had already helped the Lin family regain its former glory.

Moreover, he also knew that Yun Fan’s background was not weaker than these two. In his eyes, Guigu was very powerful, but in fact, he had underestimated Guigu’s strength.

What he saw of Guigu’s power was just the tip of the iceberg of Guigu’s influence.

So, the problem was, how could he refuse these two?

To be honest, no matter who he refused, he would suffer. If these two were to get angry and vent their anger on the Lin family, it would not be good.

The Lin family could not withstand the turmoil caused by these two. He did not know why these two high-and-mighty existences insisted on marrying his daughter.

Although he knew his daughter was excellent, she was not so excellent that such high-level figures would personally propose marriage.

Was there some hidden motive behind this?

Therefore, at this time, Lin Zhenxiong was deeply troubled.

“Master, is something bothering you?”

Butler Fu came over and asked cautiously.

Lin Zhenxiong immediately told Butler Fu the whole story. Upon hearing this, Butler Fu’s face changed drastically. This was indeed a test for the Lin family, and a test that could lead to their destruction at any moment.

So, he tentatively asked, “Master, do you have a plan?”

“No!”

Lin Zhenxiong hated Yun Fan to the bone. It was all Yun Fan’s fault for not marrying his daughter after being in Jiangnan for so long.

If he had married her earlier, he would not have been in such a difficult situation.

Butler Fu thought for a moment and said to Lin Zhenxiong, “Master, I have a good idea!”

“Tell me!”

At this moment, Butler Fu said, “Since we cannot offend either party, let’s not refuse them!”

“Are you joking? If I don’t refuse, should I marry my daughter to one of them?”

Lin Zhenxiong was very angry. Although the Lin family was a wealthy family, they were nothing compared to these two.

Even if there were no Yun Fan, he would not marry his daughter to these two. After all, such top families were not a good match for the Lin family at all. He was afraid that his daughter would be wronged and he would have no way to help her.

Although the Guigu Sect was even more mysterious, if Yun Fan bullied his daughter, he would ask the Old Heavenly Master to deal with Yun Fan. Therefore, marrying his daughter to Yun Fan did not put any pressure on him.

Butler Fu quickly said, “Master misunderstands me. I mean, since the Lin family cannot solve it, let Yun Fan solve it!”

“But…”

Lin Zhenxiong was speechless. Although this was indeed a good method, would Yun Fan think that the Lin family was ungrateful?

But upon careful consideration, it was true. This was no longer a small matter; it was beyond the scope of the Lin family’s ability to resolve. Therefore, it was understandable to hand this matter over to Yun Fan to handle.

Of course, Lin Zhenxiong also had his own subtle intentions. Didn’t Yun Fan always refuse to marry his daughter? Then, through this test, he could let Yun Fan and his daughter deepen their relationship.

However, he also had his worries. Although Yun Fan’s background was not weaker than these two, these two were established figures.

If Yun Fan could not contend with these two, it might harm Yun Fan.

But things had come to this point, and he had no better solution. Therefore, he said to Butler Fu, “You personally go to the Black Dragon Society and tell Yun Fan all these matters without missing a single word!”

“Yes!”

Butler Fu nodded and was about to set off when Lin Zhenxiong reminded him, “You don’t have to force him. Let him weigh the pros and cons himself. If he doesn’t come, then so be it. Even if I have to die, I will reject their proposals!”

“Understood, Master!”
