Chapter 590: Chapter 590: I Do Not Agree to the Annulment_1

Lin Haifeng also showed a face full of gratitude, "Mr. Ning, from now on, wherever Lion Hall is needed, I will brave any danger and never shy away!"

Hearing this, Ning Fan’s expression turned somewhat odd as he said, "Actually... there is indeed something I need Brother Lin’s help with."

"Oh?" Lin Haifeng immediately perked up, "Mr. Ning, please feel free to speak!"

Ning Fan scratched his head, awkwardly saying, "Actually, the main reason I came to Star Country was to cancel my betrothal."

Cancel the betrothal?!

Lin Haifeng and Lin Shanyue, father and son, exchanged glances, both completely perplexed.

"Yes, I had a marriage contract with your young lady, and now I am here to annul it."

"This is our marriage contract, please take a look."

Ning Fan took out the marriage contract and handed it to Lin Haifeng.

When Lin Haifeng saw the marriage contract, he was utterly at a loss, overwhelmed.

It was Lin Shanyue, however, who seemed to remember something. After carefully reading the marriage contract, nostalgia filled his eyes.

"I remember now, it was your mother who made this betrothal agreement with me."

Hearing this, Lin Yuechan and Lin Haifeng both turned to look at the elderly man.

"Dad, did you really arrange a marriage for Yuechan?" Lin Haifeng was shocked, "How come I didn’t know?"

Lin Shanyue glared at him irritatedly, "I’m almost damn eighty years old, isn’t it very normal to have a forgetful memory?"

Facing his father, Lin Haifeng dared not retort and could only sheepishly shrink his head.

As Lin Shanyue looked at the marriage contract, he was also reminded of many past events.

"Back then, your mother was a vision of valiance, like a celestial descending to earth, her sword swept across all directions, unmatched by any..."

Ning Fan was stunned; he had been raised by Ding Hongxia since childhood, and his memories of his mother were extremely scant.

"Elder Lin, may I trouble you to tell me more about my mother?"

Seeing Ning Fan’s eager expression, Lin Shanyue naturally wouldn’t refuse.

"This goes back to when I wasn’t so old, when Lion Hall encountered some troubles. To resolve these issues, I sought help far and wide..."

In Lin Shanyue’s hoarse and aged voice, Ning Fan seemed to see an ancient scroll slowly unfurling before his eyes.

In the scroll, his mother was bold and spirited, wandering the world alone with her sword, unbeatable wherever she went!

"So, this is what my mother was like..."

Ning Fan muttered to himself, the image of his mother becoming even more vivid and three-dimensional in his mind.

"Since the marriage contract was made by your mother and me, now that you wish to cancel it, I have no reason to stop you."

Lin Shanyue felt somewhat regretful; after all, he had exhausted his eloquence to get Ning Fan’s mother to agree to the betrothal.

Just then, Lin Yuechan suddenly stepped forward, her face flushing as she said, "I, I do not agree to cancel the marriage!"

These words left everyone momentarily stunned.

Shuang’er’s reaction was the most intense, as she was already annoyed by this woman’s attitude towards Ning Fan.

Now, seeing her unwilling to cancel the betrothal only added to her anger.

"This marriage contract was made by my master’s mother and your grandfather, it’s not your place to decide!"

Lin Yuechan’s emotions had already calmed down, and she spoke evenly, "Mr. Ning saved our Lin Family, I must repay him for saving our lives!"

"The way you repay his kindness is by canceling the betrothal!"

"No! I won’t cancel the betrothal, that’s the only way I have a chance to repay the life-saving kindness!"

The two of them argued back and forth, causing a standoff on the spot.

Ning Fan rubbed his temples, feeling a headache beginning.

The marriage contract’s concerned party was ultimately Lin Yuechan; if she disagreed, his own wish to annul the marriage wouldn’t hold.

Seeing his granddaughter’s firm stance, Lin Shanyue’s heart lifted with joy and he advised, "Mr. Ning, I know you young people dislike arranged marriages, but love can be cultivated, why not try getting to know my granddaughter first?"

Ning Fan smiled helplessly, "Elder Lin, I already have a woman I love, and she alone is in my heart."

"Ah, it doesn’t matter, you’ll never know how broad your heart can be if you don’t fall in love with a second or third woman!" Lin Shanyue was full of earnest convictions, seemingly speaking from experience, "If she can’t accept that, then she doesn’t love you!"

Seeing that Lin Shanyue’s conversation was veering off-course, Ning Fan hurriedly interrupted.

"Elder Lin, please continue telling me about my mother’s past."

He had been cut off by Lin Yuechan earlier and was eagerly wanting to continue learning about his mother.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shanyue gently stroked his beard, reminiscing, "Back then, I had offended a powerful enemy, an entity so formidable that Lion Hall in its current state could not withstand it."

"In order to save Lion Hall, I contacted people everywhere for help, but none of them were willing. That enemy surrounded Lion Hall Headquarters, intending to slaughter all of us."

"At the moment of utmost crisis, your mother appeared."

As he said this, a look of admiration emerged in Lin Shanyue’s eyes.

"With just one sword strike, she beheaded a thousand!"

"Even tanks couldn’t withstand that single sword strike, instantly split in two!"

"In all my life, I have never seen such an astonishing and extraordinary sword!"

Listening to Lin Shanyue’s description, Ning Fan seemed to envision a valiant figure in white, standing before tens of thousands, alone yet indomitable.
