Chapter 408: 402 Unexpected (6th update)

Ling Yuan bit her lip, the word "jealousy" nearly visible on her face.

Xu Lijun’s expression wasn’t much better; he had been rather proud of himself. After all, he came from the Xu Family, lofty and superior. By marrying Ling Yuan, he should have had a say in the affairs of the Ling Family, right?

But unexpectedly...

This old bastard Ling Zhigao had secretly made connections with the Nan Ling Sect.

Damn old man, hiding his depths too well.

Su Chen, from beginning to end, showed no change in expression, just occasionally nibbling on some Demon Beast Meat. The taste was quite good; the rest didn’t concern him.

However, upon hearing about the husband Ling Zhigao had chosen for Ling Long, he did view Ling Zhigao a bit differently. Regardless of everything, the Patriarch of the Ling Family wasn’t treating Ling Long poorly.

"Father, I... I don’t want to marry yet!" the next second, Ling Long said firmly, her words laden with complexity. She, of course, knew of her father’s love for her.

And she was grateful.

But.

She really didn’t want to marry.

At least, not to a stranger.

"Long Er, you’ve always been willful all these years, and father has seen it. I don’t blame you, but this time, you can’t be willful. Otherwise, I would let your mother down! Fang Yihong is exceptional in every way; I have personally checked him out! Father won’t harm his own daughter!" Ling Zhigao spoke with a heavy heart.

"But..." Ling Long wanted to say more, but she was interrupted by Ling Zhigao again, "Enough, it’s settled. Even if you are unwilling, it won’t do because I have already notified Great Elder Zheng Ziyin of the Nan Ling Sect. He will be coming to Wind Chant City with Fang Yihong in the next few days. If you disagree now, both I and the Ling Family would have no way to explain to the Nan Ling Sect, and the Nan Ling Sect is not to be trifled with, especially Zheng Ziyin, extremely terrifying, at least twice as strong as me!"

Ling Long’s complexion turned deathly pale in an instant!!!

She bit her lip and kept silent.

"I know you don’t want to marry a stranger, but, aren’t all affections developed from nothing? In fact, your mother and I were also in an arranged marriage. At first, we both resisted, but in the end, we were very loving..." Ling Zhigao sighed, poured a glass of wine, and downed it in one gulp.

Madam Ling’s expression could hardly be more ugly.

Silent as a tomb.

The atmosphere was rigid to the extreme.

Ling Long still made no sound, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"Esteemed nephew, eat, have more Demon Beast Meat!" then, Ling Zhigao called out to Su Chen, smiling, "Esteemed nephew, don’t blame your uncle for being a matchmaker, such is the way of the Divine Martial Continent..."

Ling Zhigao still believed that since Su Chen and his daughter had come to the Ling Family together, it was like meeting the parents.

His daughter’s resistance to marrying Fang Yihong from the Nan Ling Sect was probably largely because of Su Chen.

He naturally hoped Su Chen would let go willingly.

"Su Chen, Long Er lost her mother early and has had a hard life these years. She is a strong girl, but in the end, she is a girl who will have to marry someday. I hope the man she marries is a strong one, someone who can protect her!" Ling Zhigao continued, "After this meal, I hope you and Long Er will at most be friends, and perhaps, not meet again. After all, you wouldn’t want Long Er to be misunderstood by Fang Yihong, and you also wouldn’t want Long Er to be unhappy after marriage!"

Su Chen was somewhat dumbfounded.

Ni Ma.

What the hell was this!

He really had absolutely nothing to do with Ling Long.

At the very same second, suddenly!!!

Ling Long abruptly raised her head, "Father, your daughter has already given herself to Su Chen..."

Ling Long was desperate.

She knew her father meant well.

But she wanted to make her own decisions. Why was she practicing so hard? It was to become strong, because only by becoming strong could she have a say in her own affairs.

Her nature was to be independent and self-reliant.

Her mother had died when she was not yet ten.

Her father, though loving towards her, was also the head of the family and was very busy.

When she was young, Madam Ling, Ling Yuan, and Ling Miao targeted her; she had lived a hard life without any of the treatment due to a lady of a great family.

This independence, self-reliance, coldness, and assertiveness were forced upon her!

It was precisely because of her character that she would absolutely not let anyone else control her destiny.

Regardless of the other person’s intentions, whether they truly had her best interest at heart.

She was unwilling.

With Ling Long’s words out in the open.

In an instant, silence!!!

A deathly silence.

Fierce.

Too fierce.

Su Chen was stunned.

The strong, fierce demeanor of Ling Long had left him in shock.

Ling Miao, Ling Yuan, Xu Lijun, Madam Ling, and others had also gaped, dumbfoundedly staring at Ling Long.

As for Ling Zhigao, his eyes paused for a moment, then he fiercely slammed the table.

Boom!

The entire table directly shattered!!!

"Long Er, would you say that again?" Ling Zhigao raged.

If his daughter had truly given herself to Su Chen, then a marriage with Fang Yihong was absolutely impossible.

A talent like Fang Yihong, especially one with such background, would definitely not marry a woman who was ’damaged goods’.

Even if it were concealed, and his daughter really did marry Fang Yihong, the truth would eventually be exposed after the wedding. By then, the tragic outcome of his daughter could be easily imagined.

"Father, I said, I’ve already given my body to Su Chen!" Ling Long spoke firmly, word by word.

On the side, Su Chen was feeling depressed.

Dammit.

Trouble had befallen him once again.

Indeed.

The next second, in an instant, a terrifytingly shocking aura surged from Ling Zhigao towards Su Chen.

Su Chen’s body trembled greatly, as if he had plummeted into a deathly cold ice cellar.

His face instantly turned pale.

It was horrifying!!!

The fury of Ling Zhigao was overwhelmingly stronger than Su Chen could have ever imagined.

However, it was just for that second, Ling Long immediately blocked in front of Su Chen, "Father, if you dare to harm a single hair on Su Chen’s head, then your daughter will die right before your eyes!"

Ling Long’s words were resolute.

Extremely resolute.

She wasn’t joking at all.

"You..." Ling Zhigao was so angry he almost spat blood, his complexion turned a ghastly purplish hue, his fury could have scorched the heavens.

A wrath from someone in the Ninth Revolution Hollow Void Realm.

Too shocking.

He wasn’t even targeting Ling Miao, Xu Lijun, or Ling Yuan, yet all three of them stepped backward, faces filled with shock and fear.

However.

At the same moment.

Suddenly.

"Hahaha... Brother Ling, this old man has arrived!"

That was the sound of hearty laughter.

Somewhat elderly, yet full and deep.

It echoed from the sky outside the great hall.

"What?" Ling Zhigao’s eyes furiously contracted, and he held his breath, whose voice was that?

Zheng Ziyin, yes, it was Zheng Ziyin’s voice!!!

Ling Zhigao was very familiar with it.

How did Zheng Ziyin get here? So quickly? He thought it would take two or three days.

Unexpectedly...

Following that,

Outside the great hall, in the air, suddenly there appeared two figures.

An elder, not very tall, with white hair and beard, his face carrying a benign smile and many wrinkles, yet his eyes shone bright. His presence was extremely substantial, standing there like an ancient well without ripples.

By the elder’s side was an exceedingly handsome young man. The man wore splendid white and brocade clothes, one hand rested behind his back, and the other held a treasured sword. His face was devoid of much expression, but his eyes were deep, with pride lurking behind their depths. His aura was extremely, extremely sharp, as if he were a green bamboo standing upright in the snow.
