After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

Su Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at him, didn't answer, and went straight into the cave, finding a futon to sit down.

Lin Fengmian closed the door, sat down opposite her, and looked at her.

Su Zhenzhen hesitated for a moment, bit her lip, and whispered:

"You...the empty house you just asked about..."

She paused, then looked up at Lin Fengmian, her eyes filled with a complex emotion:

"That's right, it's that empty house."

"The Kong family, one of the nine great families of Qingzhou."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengmian's lips twitched.

really.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his unease, and asked:

"Just who exactly is this Kongkong'er?"

Su Zhenzhen sighed, propped herself up with her hands, and shifted to a more comfortable position before slowly speaking:

"Among the Kong family lineage, there are seven sons, among whom the seventh son, Kong Kong'er, has the highest talent and the strongest strength."

"The opponent has a top-grade mutated spiritual root—the wind spiritual root."

"At such a young age, he has already reached the early stage of Core Formation cultivation."

"I heard... he is the Nascent Soul seed of the Kong family lineage, and is being nurtured by the family with all their might. He is almost certain to become a Nascent Soul True Monarch in the future."

Su Zhenzhen frowned slightly as she spoke, a hint of helplessness in her eyes:

"Now, the elders of our Su family are very supportive of my marriage to him."

"After all, if the Su family can get on the good side of the Kong family, they can advance even further in the Zhao state."

"Moreover, there are many internal conflicts within our Su family. We have split into several groups, factions, and open and covert struggles."

"Some people support the marriage alliance, some people oppose it, it's all a mess."

She sighed, her voice tinged with weariness:

"Now, even my father can't make the decision."

"He also wanted to help me turn down the marriage, but..."

She shook her head and didn't continue.

Lin Fengmian's lips twitched again after hearing this.

He took a deep breath, looked at Su Zhenzhen, and his voice carried a hint of helplessness:

"Then...won't you just refuse outright?"

Upon hearing this, Su Zhenzhen gave him a charmingly disdainful look, her beautiful eyes filled with contempt.

"Lin Fengmian, are you even a man?"

"Do you know that if they go berserk, our Su family simply can't stop them?"

"and……"

She paused, bit her lip, and her voice carried a hint of disgust:

"The other party is notoriously petty."

"I heard that even members of the Kong family themselves will be targeted if they offend him."

"Utterly ruthless, even... willing to kill."

"I would never marry someone like that!"

She became more and more excited as she spoke, her voice rising several decibels:

"The only thing I can tell my family now is that I already have a Daoist partner, and use that as an excuse to refuse."

"We'll drag it out as long as we can."

Lin Fengmian rolled his eyes at the sound.

He leaned against the stone wall, arms crossed, looking at Su Zhenzhen with a hint of mockery in his voice:

"So, what does this have to do with me?"

"You, Su Zhenzhen, don't want to get married, so you're dragging me down with you?"

Do you know what "empty house" means?

"Do you know what the consequences would be if I offended the Kong family?"

"You're pushing me into a fire pit!"

His voice carried a hint of anger.

Upon hearing this, Su Zhenzhen was no longer as angry as before; instead, she stood up.

She walked up to Lin Fengmian and pressed herself against him.

The two were so close they could feel each other's breath.

Lin Fengmian could even clearly feel the elastic texture beneath the other person's alluring and exquisite figure.

Soft, warm, and with a delicate fragrance unique to young girls.

Su Zhenzhen raised her head, her large, watery eyes almost touching hers, her breath sweet as orchids:

"Lin Fengmian..."

Her voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of coquetry and a touch of allure:

"If you could help me with this..."

She paused, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her voice became even softer:

"It's not impossible for us to go from being fake Daoist partners to real Daoist partners."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengmian's gaze involuntarily shifted downwards.

That delicate, doll-like face, those bright, expressive eyes, that alluring figure…

It must be said that the conditions offered by the other party were indeed very tempting.

If only we could become true Daoist partners...

Lin Fengmian could already imagine the intoxicating pleasure he would experience after obtaining this beauty.

That exquisite figure, that soft touch, that charming appearance...

Just thinking about it makes me incredibly excited.

but……

Reason told him that the Kong family was a tough nut to crack.

If you're not careful, you might break your own tooth.

Even... they might lose their lives.

After all, lust is a double-edged sword.

To win this woman's heart, one must possess sufficient strength.

Lin Fengmian took a deep breath, suppressing the agitation in his heart, and his gaze became clear again.

He looked at Su Zhenzhen, his voice indifferent:

"Miss Su, are you using your beauty to seduce me?"

Upon hearing this, Su Zhenzhen's cheeks flushed even more, but instead of backing away, she moved even closer:

"So... are you susceptible to this?"

Lin Fengmian did not answer.

He simply looked at her, his eyes flashing with a complex light.

This woman...

She really is a vixen.

but……

It seems he has no way to refuse now.

After all, he was already Su Zhenzhen's Daoist partner, in name only.

Even if I don't want to get involved, will the Kong family believe me?

Would that petty-minded Kongkonger believe it?

It's likely that the other side has already put him on their kill list.

Lin Fengmian sighed and gently pushed Su Zhenzhen away.

"You should go back now."

His voice was calm:

"Let me think about this."

Su Zhenzhen looked at him, bit her lip, and nodded.

She turned and walked toward the stone gate.

As she reached the door, she suddenly stopped, turned back to look at Lin Fengmian, and said softly:

"Lin Fengmian..."

"Thank you."

After saying that, she opened the stone door and quickly walked out.

Lin Fengmian stared at the disappearing figure, remaining motionless for a long time.

After a long silence, he shook his head and gave a bitter smile.

"This woman..."

They really know how to cause him trouble.

……

at the same time.

Qingzhou, Kongjia.

In a very elegant courtyard.

Artificial hills and flowing water, verdant bamboo groves, and winding, meandering stone paths.

The courtyard is filled with all sorts of exotic flowers and plants, their fragrance filling the air.

A young man with a gloomy face sat at a stone table in the courtyard, holding a calligraphy brush in his hand, writing with great skill and elegance on the white paper in front of him.

His handwriting is sharp and unrestrained, each stroke as if carved by a knife and axe, with an imposing presence.

It was as if they weren't writing, but practicing swordsmanship.

Every stroke of the pen carried a sharp killing intent.

At that moment, a figure appeared silently in the courtyard and came into the young man's view.

She was a woman with delicate features, a cold demeanor, and an aura of restraint.
