Chapter 410: Chapter 404: Old and Cunning (Part 1)

Fang Yihong stared blankly at his Master, Zheng Ziyin, wondering if he was experiencing auditory hallucinations.

Master Zheng Ziyin had always been the type to protect his own. Over the years, whenever Fang Yihong got into trouble, whether it was his fault or not, Master Zheng mostly helped him deal with outsiders first.

But now...

What was going on?

Moreover, he was the one who had been humiliated!

The arranged marriage was intercepted by someone. How great a humiliation was that?

Why had Master Zheng suddenly... Was there something wrong with him?

Fang Yihong asked anxiously, "Master, what’s wrong with you? That little bastard..."

"Shut up!!!" Zheng Ziyin roared in anger and shock. "If you don’t apologize, I, Zheng Ziyin, will have no disciple like you!"

Zheng Ziyin was truly furious. Had his disciple grown accustomed to looking down on everyone else? Did he lack even this bit of discernment? Could he not see that even his Master held Su Chen in such high respect?

"Master, I..." Fang Yihong began, feeling fear and nervousness, as Zheng Ziyin didn’t sound joking at all.

"I want you to apologize!" Zheng Ziyin demanded unequivocally, emphasizing each word.

Fang Yihong felt stifled to death, but, he respected and revered Zheng Ziyin, seeing that he was serious, he could only suppress his rage and reluctance, looked towards Su Chen, and said, "I... I apologize for my earlier rudeness!"

After Fang Yihong finished speaking, his state of mind shook. The humiliation and disgrace were indescribable.

He was clearly the one being bullied.

Yet, he had to apologize in return.

He was a genius disciple of the Nan Ling Sect!

Su Chen glanced at Fang Yihong, but did not say anything. He did not accept Fang Yihong’s apology, nor did he make things difficult, because he was giving face to Zheng Ziyin.

I respect you one foot, you respect me ten.

Zheng Ziyin had just shown him a foot of respect, so naturally, he would show ten feet.

At the same second.

Ling Zhigao, Madam Ling, Xu Lijun, Ling Yuan, Ling Liao still found their thoughts muddled!!!

They couldn’t believe it!

They refused to believe!

How could Su Chen have earned such great respect and awe from Zheng Ziyin, a Great Elder of the Nan Ling Sect? To know, even if he met Lin Zonglong, the head of the Lin Family or the Old Ancestors of the Lin Family, Zheng Ziyin would at most be just a bit polite, never showing any real respect or awe!

It made no sense.

It completely exceeded the limits of their understanding.

Numerous breaths later.

Ling Zhigao was the first to react. He first looked at Su Chen in utter disbelief and astonishment, then quickly asked Zheng Ziyin, "Brother Zheng, Su Chen... He..."

Zheng Ziyin simply waved his hand, "Brother Ling, I won’t say much, but since your beloved is Young Master Su’s woman, from now on, the Ling Family and the Nan Ling Sect are allies!"

Zheng Ziyin spoke very seriously.

He was still trying to please Su Chen.

Zheng Ziyin was a crafty old man; otherwise, how could he ever hold the position of Great Elder of the Nan Ling Sect?

Offering help during hardships is definitely better than adding flowers to the brocade.

For a while, Su Chen was like a Hidden Dragon, not yet fully soaring, and his investment was incredibly invaluable.

"This..." Ling Zhigao was greatly startled. Was the Nan Ling Sect about to form an alliance with the Ling Family? How could that be possible? However, Zheng Ziyin would definitely not act without certainty.

Moreover, Zheng Ziyin was the Great Elder of the Nan Ling Sect, and he definitely had the authority to form such an alliance.

In other words, once Zheng Ziyin spoke, there was no falsehood.

His greatest desire to form an alliance with the Nan Ling Sect was suddenly achieved, and he felt like he was dreaming.

You know, even though he had discussed the marriage between Ling Long and Fang Yihong with Zheng Ziyin before, Zheng Ziyin had never mentioned the possibility of the Ling Family allying with the Nan Ling Sect.

Ling Zhigao himself had never dared to bring it up either.

Both were Fifth-Rank Powers, but the gap between them was huge; one was top-tier among the Fifth-Rank Powers, while the other was lower-middle-tier.

The Ling Family was not qualified to form an alliance with the Nan Ling Sect.

Unexpectedly...

"Young Master Su, may I have a private talk with you?" Subsequently, Zheng Ziyin suddenly said.

"Of course," Su Chen nodded.

Soon.

Su Chen and Zheng Ziyin went to the back hall of the Ling Family.

Leaving Ling Zhigao and a group of people dumbfounded in the hall.

"Ling Long, Su Chen, no... who exactly is Young Master Su?" Ling Zhigao took a deep breath, his mind trembling. He now dared not even guess Su Chen’s identity.

"I don’t know, he’s just a disciple of the Burning Heaven Sect." Ling Long shook her head. Indeed, she didn’t know; she herself couldn’t believe what she had seen.

"You... you girl, how could you... with such a big matter..." Ling Zhigao was somewhat furious, how could his daughter be so naive?

On the side, Ling Yuan’s face was pale!!!

The person she had mocked until now turned out... turned out to possibly be a highly influential figure, even the Great Elder of the Nan Ling Sect treated him with great respect?

Her heart was already turning seas upside down, indescribable by words, filled with jealousy.

She had thought her sister had found a fool, a trash, a beggar, but unexpectedly...

Just then, Xu Lijun suddenly spoke, "Perhaps he is a son from a major force! But, he is only in the Noble Realm! Humph! Status does not represent strength! Divine Martial Continent is ultimately a place that values strength..."

"Exactly!" Ling Yuan grasped at this like a lifeline, nodding vigorously, "Even if Su Chen turns out to have significant backing, and we were mistaken, but he is indeed in the Noble Realm, his own strength is lacking, just this alone shows that he is a good-for-nothing living off his family!"

"Shut up!!!" Ling Zhigao glared fiercely at Ling Yuan and shouted. He truly didn’t understand how Ling Yuan’s mind worked. Even if Su Chen’s strength was lacking, his backing alone could crush the entire Ling Family. If Ling Yuan continued to speak foolishly and upset Su Chen, the consequences would be extremely severe.

After scolding Ling Yuan, Ling Zhigao looked deeply at Xu Lijun, "Young Master Xu, you are not yet the Ling Family’s son-in-law. Be mindful of what you say here!"

Ling Zhigao was extremely dissatisfied with Xu Lijun, criticizing others for relying on their family? Calling others a privileged son? What about Xu Lijun himself?

Moreover, Xu Lijun was too narrow-minded, lacking ambition, and prone to jealousy.

Truly rubbish.

He even somewhat regretted promoting the marriage between Ling Yuan and Xu Lijun.

"Uncle Ling, I understand!" Xu Lijun hurriedly nodded, shocked inwardly, naturally catching the dissatisfaction in Ling Zhigao’s tone, a flicker of annoyance passed through his mind, but he could only bear it.

"Long Er, since you’ve decided to follow Young Master Su, from now on, you should no longer be willful!" Then, Ling Zhigao said solemnly.

From Zheng Ziyin’s attitude, one thing could be confirmed at least, Su Chen had a significant background. Since Su Chen and his daughter were a couple, they certainly could not be split up, otherwise, the wrath from Su Chen’s backing could have severe consequences.
