"Lin Yuelong! You are going too far!"
Seeing Lin Yuelong's aggressive posture, Yang Jian couldn't muster any resistance and quickly dodged to the side.
The reason he was so arrogant earlier was entirely due to his superior cultivation, which allowed him to speak so brazenly to Lin Yuelong!
But now, their cultivation levels were the same, and he knew he was no match for Lin Yuelong!
Having already made a fool of himself on this stage, if he continued, with Lin Yuelong's stubborn temper, it was entirely possible he could be beaten to death!
"Bullying too much? Hmph, Yang Jian, how were you bullying me just now?"
"What? It's only been a few hours, have you forgotten?"
Hearing Yang Jian accuse him of bullying with his power, Lin Yuelong almost burst out laughing.
This Yang Jian was truly shameless!
If it weren't for the fact that he was Xinxin's biological father, Lin Yuelong probably wouldn't have held back and would have killed this scoundrel directly.
"I concede! I concede!"
With no other choice, Yang Jian could only admit defeat.
It was just about not appearing before Yang Mei, right? Since the outcome was already decided, why should he endure a beating?
After all, he knew very well that his current half-step Nascent Soul realm cultivation was achieved by forcefully elevating it through a secret technique.
In terms of combat power, he was definitely not Lin Yuelong's opponent!
"Hmph, then remember this, and get out of Kyoto from now on!"
Lin Yuelong looked at the pleading Yang Jian with extreme coldness.
"What? Get out of Kyoto? Our bet was that whoever won would be with Yang Mei!"
Hearing Lin Yuelong tell him to get out of Kyoto, Yang Jian was stunned.
Good heavens, he had not agreed to this ridiculous bet before the competition!
How could this Lin Yuelong now unilaterally add stakes?
"Hmph, I ask you, will Yang Mei be living in Kyoto in the future?"
"With her job, she will definitely be patrolling all over Kyoto. If you continue to live in Kyoto, you will meet her sooner or later."
"Alas, forget it. If you don't agree, then I'll just beat you to death!"
Lin Yuelong spoke to himself and raised his fist again towards Yang Jian.
He looked like a madman.
Let alone Yang Jian on the stage, even Lin Chen, who was watching from below, was stunned by Lin Yuelong's appearance.
"No, no, no, I agree, I agree!"
Seeing Lin Yuelong about to attack him again, Yang Jian was immediately startled.
Everyone knew Lin Yuelong's personality very well; to put it bluntly, he was a madman who didn't play by the rules!
If he truly killed Yang Jian here on the stage today, based on the oath they made before the competition, others couldn't interfere!
Even if Yang Jian's master behind him wanted revenge, it would be impossible no matter what.
"Alright, Old Master Long, please open the barrier and let this beast get out."
Seeing Yang Jian agree, Lin Yuelong then looked at Old Master Long on the high platform beside him and cupped his hands.
Although Lin Yuelong was currently disgusted with Yang Jian and knew he wouldn't give up,
Yang Jian was Yang Xinxin's biological father.
If he were to kill Yang Jian here and now, it would certainly not be good for Yang Xinxin's mental state, and from this perspective, Lin Yuelong could not bring himself to do it.
Even though Yang Xinxin and Yang Jian's relationship was not good, he couldn't do such a thing.
Since Yang Jian had agreed to never appear before Yang Mei again, Lin Yuelong was very satisfied.
No matter what, this was a declaration of his claim, wasn't it?
The people who came to the Long family as guests today represented almost all the upper-class families in Kyoto.
It was likely that after today's events, almost everyone would know that he and Yang Mei were a couple.
"Mm, good."
Hearing Lin Yuelong's words, Old Master Long nodded and casually opened the barrier he had just set up.
Seeing this, Yang Jian cast a resentful glance. He didn't say anything more and left without looking back.
He knew that if he stayed here any longer, he would only be humiliated!
As things stood, only by quickly finding his master could he perhaps find a way to return to Kyoto.
After Yang Jian left, Lin Yuelong slowly descended from the stage under everyone's gaze and walked to Yang Mei.
His eyes were fixed on Yang Mei, but he said nothing.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing Lin Yuelong's dazed expression, Yang Mei suddenly felt a bit flustered.
Although Lin Yuelong said nothing now, his willingness to fight Yang Jian to the death for her just hours ago had already revealed his feelings.
But only a few hours ago, Lin Yuelong was still a cultivator in the late Golden Core stage. How could he have broken through his cultivation so quickly?
Could it be that Lin Yuelong had been playing the tiger while pretending to be a pig all along, hiding his cultivation from her?
Otherwise, how could he have achieved such a timely breakthrough in just a few hours?
"Ahem, ahem, that, Yang Mei, um, I..."
Seeing Yang Mei's reaction, Lin Yuelong wanted to say something, but the words caught in his throat, and he didn't know how to express them.
"Uncle Lin, are you going to be my dad?"
Only the shrewd Yang Xinxin, holding Lin Yuelong's arm, asked with a smile.
"Oh, oh, oh, right, right, Yang Mei, from now on I'm Xinxin's father!"
Hearing Yang Xinxin's words, Lin Yuelong seemed to have found an excuse. He quickly hugged Yang Xinxin and affirmed to Yang Mei.
To him, becoming Yang Xinxin's father or becoming Yang Mei's husband was essentially the same thing.
"Second Uncle! You're too cowardly!"
Seeing this, Lin Chen next to them couldn't stand it. It was too embarrassing for a grown man to rely on a little girl to smooth things over!
"What? I'm cowardly?"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Lin Yuelong felt his pride was severely hurt.
"Yang Mei! Listen to me, I like you, I want to marry you, whether you agree today or not, you have to agree!"
Immediately, Lin Yuelong looked at Yang Mei and spoke the words he had kept hidden in his heart for a long time.
