Chapter 319: Chapter 319: If You Want to Be My Father-in-Law, You Have to Get in Line

"Mr. Shangguan, I just helped out with the bridal heist," Lin Fan said in surprise as he looked at Shangguan Qingyun. "Where do you expect me to take her?"

He had stood up for the man’s daughter.

How could this suddenly turn into sticking to him like glue?

"Yes, I know you helped with the bridal heist, but no matter the reason, the fact remains that you’ve taken her, and the word has spread. Now, everyone in Jiangning’s Martial Cultivator world knows you are my daughter’s husband, and that you married her during her wedding ceremony. We certainly can’t pretend it didn’t happen, can we? The Shangguan Family doesn’t have many rules. As long as you two can live well together, we can keep everything simple and quick," Shangguan Qingyun said to Lin Fan, with a smile.

The details had already been made very clear over the phone.

Several old friends close to the Shangguan Family had also called one after another.

So, naturally, he knew about Lin Fan outwitting Master Miejue.

It must be said, heroes emerge from the young.

Such a desirable son-in-law is hard to find even with a lantern.

This time, he jumped into the pit himself.

Therefore, Shangguan Qingyun certainly couldn’t miss this excellent opportunity.

"Mr. Shangguan, are you trying to pull a fast one?" Lin Fan opened his eyes wide. "I kindly saved Shangguan Min Yue from a terrible fate, and now you’re repaying kindness with enmity?"

Lately, why were so many people keen to become his father-in-law?

He had just shaken off Prince Zhen Nan.

And now there was another.

"What do you mean by pulling a fast one?" said Shangguan Qingyun. "My daughter may not be superior to all, but the Shangguan Family isn’t base either. Her appearance is beyond reproach. I’m offering you such a wonderful daughter, how can that be repaying kindness with enmity? It’s completely gratitude. I just wish for you two to live happily for a hundred years and to give me a grandchild soon."

Shangguan Qingyun rubbed his hands together, smiling warmly at Lin Fan.

He was quite pleased with such a son-in-law.

"Mr. Shangguan, as I said, I was just helping. How can such a significant matter like marriage be handled carelessly? Today’s bridal heist was just a pretext. Plus, you’re right, Min Yue is superior in every way, which certainly includes her temper. We’ve met only twice, and both times she wanted to kill me. Marrying her, isn’t that seeking revenge?"

Lin Fan helplessly revealed his trump card.

Lately, why were so many people eager to be his father-in-law?

"Quarrels are the spice of passion," Shangguan Qingyun retorted. "And with your skills, you easily subdued her. That’s simply a case of ’like cures like.’ Furthermore, you are the first man to see my daughter’s true face, so the marriage must take place. Rest assured, I will provide you with the most generous dowry, ensuring you a life free of worry about food and clothing!"

Shangguan Qingyun’s mouth curled with a kind gleam.

But Lin Fan did not believe him.

With Shangguan Min Yue’s hot temper,

who knew when she would turn on him and come after him with a knife again?

"Mr. Shangguan, as I’ve said, that is the dregs of feudal superstition. You really shouldn’t take this ’true destiny’ thing seriously. As for money, I don’t need it, I have enough to eat and drink as it is. But most importantly, I’m already married, so I can’t take her as my wife."

"You... you’re married?" Shangguan Qingyun paused immediately upon hearing this. "Then when do you plan to divorce and marry my daughter, Min Yue?"

Shangguan Qingyun was taken aback at this revelation.

His desirable son-in-law was already married?

"I have no plans to divorce, so let’s put an end to this matter. And if you wish to be my father-in-law, you’re not prominent enough; you’ll need to queue up," Lin Fan replied helplessly to Shangguan Qingyun.

He had escaped the tiger’s den only to enter the wolf’s lair.

One by one, they all looked forward to his divorce.

"Queue up? What, you have other women out there? Then I must see who has the clout to queue up before me," Shangguan Qingyun said, his face suddenly darkening.

No father-in-law wants his son-in-law to be a scoundrel.

"Is Prince Zhen Nan Xu Kun prominent enough for you? If you’re not satisfied, you can go talk to him. To be honest, I had just escaped his attempt to force me into marriage when I took part in the bridal heist," Lin Fan replied to Shangguan Qingyun with a bitter smile.

This statement made Shangguan Qingyun freeze on the spot.

Prince Zhen Nan, the high official who guarded a region.

If he’s the son-in-law he values,

then we must snatch him up even more so.

"My stomach hurts a bit, you sit here for a while, I need to step out for a moment."

Shangguan Qingyun stood up and left.

Not giving Lin Fan any chance to refuse.

As he stepped out the door, he grabbed his wife who was about to serve the dishes.

"Wife, whichever way you think of, you must keep him here. I’m going to speak with our daughter and will be right back. Remember, you absolutely cannot let him leave, or our Shangguan family will be doomed. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

The lady looked at Lin Fan sitting in the inner room with confusion.

She had never seen her husband so agitated.

But it was a matter of life and death for the Shangguan family.

She could only agree and walked in with determination.

Shangguan Qingyun hurried toward the back courtyard.

Soon he arrived in front of Shangguan Min Yue’s boudoir.

He gently knocked on the door.

After hearing a response from inside, he pushed the door open and entered.

"Dad, what brings you here?"

Shangguan Min Yue, who was sitting in the room with Zhao Jiaqi,

looked puzzled at her father.

Wasn’t he in the front drinking with Lin Fan?

"I need to ask you something. Do you know if Lin Fan and Prince Zhen Nan have a close relationship?"

Shangguan Qingyun looked at his daughter with an anxious face.

The answer was of great importance.

"This..."

However, this question made Shangguan Min Yue freeze.

Taking into account this meeting, she had only met Lin Fan three times.

Besides his name, she barely knew him.

So she could only turn her head and look to Zhao Jiaqi at her side.

"Uncle, is this guy putting on airs? But he really is quite familiar with Prince Zhen Nan, and indeed, I just dragged this lad off the prince’s warship earlier. But you don’t need to worry, the prince belongs to the military elite and almost never interferes with civilian affairs. Moreover, I think the prince just wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law, nothing more. You don’t have to worry about the rest."

Zhao Jiaqi quickly stood up.

She had thought that Lin Fan was using Prince Zhen Nan to pressure others.

"Really... then that’s truly wonderful!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Qingyun slapped his thigh,

excitedly looking at his daughter, "A man whom Prince Zhen Nan values can definitely not be wrong!"

"Dad, what do you mean by this?"

Shangguan Min Yue looked at her father with confusion.

Recently pressured by the Gong Family to marry,

he hadn’t smiled so happily in a long time.

"My girl, I know you blame your dad for being useless, but you also know about the huge trouble you’ve caused. The Gong Family might have not succeeded this time, but they definitely won’t give up easily and we don’t know how they will deal with our family in the future."

Shangguan Qingyun took his daughter’s hand, "Your mom and I aren’t afraid to die, but your uncles, aunts, and grandparents are all innocent. Right now, there’s only one chance to save the Shangguan family, and it won’t even be a loss for you. Are you willing?"

"I, I am willing!"

Shangguan Min Yue nodded her head.

For the lives of the hundreds in the Shangguan family,

she had to do something.
