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

"You little rascal, I'm quite curious, how did you manage to win over my girl?"

She shook her head, her tone tinged with helplessness:

"This child has been spoiled by her brother and father since she was a child. She has a very stubborn temper and not an ordinary person can catch her eye."

That smile was truly captivating.

That already stunning face now blossomed with a gentle smile, like a peony in bloom, elegant, noble, and captivating.

With her eyebrows curved and her eyes sparkling, she exudes a unique charm characteristic of mature women.

He sighed inwardly, then composed himself.

Seeing that his momentum was losing, Lin Fengmian decided to take a risky approach.

He took a deep breath, raised his head, looked directly at Yang Yuxian, put on an innocent expression, and said softly:

"Um... Madam, would you believe me if I said your daughter forced me to be her Daoist partner?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Yuxian was first taken aback, then immediately found herself at a loss for words, both laughing and crying.

This kid...

They're incredibly audacious.

For so many years, no cultivator has dared to speak to him like that.

A strange light flashed in her beautiful eyes, but she was not angry. Instead, she found the young man increasingly interesting.

She chuckled softly, shook her head, and then said seriously:

"Alright, now that you've become Daoist partners, I won't interfere any further."

She paused, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint but palpable pressure emanated from her, her tone suddenly turning cold:

"But if you let Zhenzhen suffer even the slightest injustice—"

A cold glint flashed in her beautiful eyes, and her voice was as cold as frost:

"I will certainly not let you off easily."

Lin Fengmian felt the oppressive aura and secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.

As expected of the matriarch of the Su family, her aura is truly impressive.

He quickly cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, his attitude sincere:

"Please rest assured, Madam Yang, I will certainly treat Zhenzhen well."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yuxian's expression softened slightly, and she parted her red lips, uttering only four words:

"That would be best."

After she finished speaking, she didn't give Lin Fengmian a chance to speak again.

She turned around, grabbed Su Zhenzhen who was covering her mouth and chuckling to herself, and with a light touch of her toes, the two of them transformed into a streak of light and flew back to the preparation area.

Su Zhenzhen, being pulled along by her mother, couldn't help but turn around and wink at Lin Fengmian, her little eyes full of pride and joy.

Lin Fengmian watched the two graceful figures disappear into the distance and swallowed hard.

This Su Zhenzhen is really...

My own nemesis.

You can't flirt with them, you can't win an argument with them, and you can't hit them.

The other person kept causing trouble for me, like a troublemaker.

It was truly frustrating.

He shook his head, looked away, but secretly made up his mind.

Sooner or later, he'll get his revenge.

Su Zhenzhen and Lin Fengmian are determined to show the other party what a real man is! They'll make her pay for all the trouble the other party has caused her!

The atmosphere of the entire banquet continued in this subtle yet warm atmosphere.

Amidst the clinking of glasses and the exchange of toasts, the guests and hosts appeared to be enjoying themselves, but in reality, each harbored their own thoughts.

The Prince of Zhennan sat upright in the main seat, toying with a wine cup in his hand. His gaze seemed to casually sweep across the entire room, but in reality, he saw everything.

When he saw Lin Fengmian and Yang Yuxian's scene, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

The Prince of Zhennan secretly praised him, then gently shook his head.

Lin Fengmian is not only incredibly strong and courageous, but also seemingly unrestrained in his actions, yet he always walks within the bounds of propriety.

He's really a ruthless person.

He withdrew his gaze, picked up his wine cup, stood up, and laughed loudly at the surrounding cultivators:

"Gentlemen, today's martial arts competition has been a complete success, and I am very pleased. Come, let me raise a toast to you all!"

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.

The surrounding cultivators quickly stood up and raised their cups in return, with compliments and thanks echoing around them.

As the host today, Prince Zhennan naturally wants to make good connections.

He stepped down from the main seat and exchanged pleasantries with the leaders and elders of the various sects one by one. His words and actions displayed both the authority of a superior and his approachability, striking the perfect balance.

Especially when talking with the elders of the Hehuan Sect, his attitude was noticeably warmer than that of others, obviously out of respect for Lin Fengmian.

Meanwhile, the Hehuan Sect was also bustling with activity.

Honglian Zhenren was surrounded by a group of sect leaders and elders, with a perfectly measured smile on her face, dealing with everyone with neither arrogance nor servility.

Those sects that usually had good relations with the Hehuan Sect stepped forward to offer their congratulations, their words filled with envy.

"True Master Honglian, your sect has produced an extraordinary disciple!"

"Yes, yes, to defeat the prodigies of three major sects in succession—that's truly remarkable strength!"

"Young friend Lin has a bright future ahead of him, a truly promising future!"

"The True Man is truly blessed, and the Hehuan Sect is truly blessed!"

Master Honglian responded to each question, her face remaining impassive, but inwardly she was overjoyed.

For so many years, when has the Hehuan Sect ever been so glorious?

Today, Lin Fengmian single-handedly defeated the prodigies of three major sects, not only bringing great honor to the Hehuan Sect, but also giving a huge surprise to those who usually looked down on the Hehuan Sect.

Especially the people from Yinshan Palace, Vajra Temple, and Heavenly Demon Sect, their faces were all ashen, sitting there without saying a word, looking as uncomfortable as if they had swallowed a fly.

They originally came to see the Joyful Union Sect make a fool of themselves, but they never expected that they would become the laughingstock in the end.

At this moment, the elders leading the teams of Yinshan Palace, Vajra Temple, and Heavenly Demon Sect all had gloomy faces and exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay.

They looked at the Red Lotus Immortal surrounded by a crowd of admirers, feeling both hatred and jealousy, but they could only swallow their anger and resentment.

If you're not as skilled as others, what else is there to say?

Those cultivators who had grudges against the Hehuan Sect were now extremely uneasy.

Xiao Sheng, Chen Qingxuan, and the others sat alone on the preparation table, ignored by everyone, a stark contrast to the surrounding noise.

They never expected Lin Fengmian to be so powerful.

Not only did he win the attention of the entire audience and capture the hearts of countless fairies, but he also gained the appreciation of the Prince of Zhennan.

He truly became famous overnight, making everyone envious!

And what about them?

From beginning to end, they could only sit in the corner and watch the "good-for-nothing" they once looked down on climb to the top step by step.

That taste was even more bitter than eating bitter melon.

The three exchanged a glance, and each saw deep regret in the other's eyes.

Why did you become enemies with Lin Fengmian in the first place?

But it's too late to say anything now.

The banquet gradually came to a close amidst a cacophony of insincere pleasantries and small talk.

The Prince of Zhennan spoke privately with a few familiar elders, while the rest of the group rose one by one to prepare to leave.
