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

That useless man!

They couldn't even protect me, making me suffer, and they still have the nerve to call me their sister!

But she smiled sweetly and said softly, "Brother Fengchen."

Her gaze involuntarily darted around, trying to find that figure.

I was immediately disappointed when I didn't see it.

Wouldn't all that effort I put into dressing up today and the sweet persona I just presented have been wasted?

Lin Fengchen was still rambling on and on, and Liu Yiyi smiled and agreed on the surface, but inwardly she was sneering.

I'm here today to break off our engagement, and you're still acting like an idiot, licking my boots.

Lin Fengchen, you're not even qualified to be my lapdog anymore.

Only Lin Fengmian is qualified to be my dog.

After returning home, she made a point of asking around about Lin Fengmian's recent situation.

I learned that he is now very powerful in the Hehuan Sect, and the two Holy Maidens in the sect are protecting him!

You should know that the families of those two holy maidens are both powerful families with Core Formation Realm experts in charge!

If she became Lin Fengmian's legal wife, wouldn't she be on equal footing with those two women from the Core Formation families?

At that time, won't we have whatever we want?

Thinking of this, Liu Yiyi's lips curled up slightly, and a determined glint flashed in her eyes.

The Lin family elders around her naturally had no idea what she was thinking.

Seeing the two so affectionate, everyone offered their flattery.

Lin Chenbo stepped forward directly, his face beaming with smiles:

"Young Master Fengchen and Miss Yiyi are truly a match made in heaven! A handsome man and a beautiful woman, a perfect union!"

"Yes, yes! This marriage is simply a match made in heaven!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Cungao's expression darkened slightly.

He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and slowly began to speak:

"I have come today to discuss this marriage agreement."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengchen was overjoyed!

It's here! It's finally here!

Is Liu Yiyi finally going to marry me?

He was so excited that his whole body trembled slightly, but he tried his best to keep his face calm.

But the curve of his lips was almost impossible to suppress.

Just then, two figures stepped into the hall.

It was Lin Yuanshan and Lin Fengmian.

Seeing this, Lin Fengchen immediately seized the opportunity to show off.

He stepped forward and called out loudly, "Lin Fengmian, why are you so late?"

He paused, a smug glint in his eyes:

"But it's perfect timing, you're one of the parties involved in this engagement. Uncle Liu Cungao is here today to talk about it, so come and listen."

As soon as Liu Yiyi saw Lin Fengmian enter, her eyes were glued to him and she couldn't look away.

It must be said that Lin Fengmian was indeed born with a handsome face.

With sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and slightly pursed thin lips, he exudes a composed demeanor.

He was a completely different person compared to the timid boy he was three years ago.

Especially his eyes, deep as a pool, as if they could see through everything.

This kind of man is rightfully mine, Liu Yiyi's!

When Liu Cungao saw Lin Fengmian, his eyes lit up.

He strode forward, his face beaming with a warm smile:

"Fengmian! Long time no see! You've grown so much! Like father, like son!"

He patted Lin Fengmian on the shoulder, his tone impassioned:

"Our Liu family has decided that the marriage agreement will stand. After all, that's how it was arranged back then. Although your father has disappeared, our Liu family is not the kind of people to kick someone when they're down!"

They spoke so grandly, as if it were the truth.

Liu Yiyi immediately stepped forward, reaching out to tug at Lin Fengmian's sleeve, her eyes filled with affection, her voice so soft it could melt hearts:

"Brother Fengmian, Yiyi has always loved you. Yiyi is willing to marry you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the council hall fell into a deathly silence!

Lin Yuanhao's smile froze.

Lin Fengchen was struck dumb, frozen in place.

All the elders stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief.

What... what on earth is going on?!

Hasn't the Liu family always been close to Lin Yuanhao?

Why did you suddenly turn around and start currying favor with Lin Fengmian?

"No--!"

Lin Fengchen was the first to react, letting out a heart-wrenching scream.

He rushed forward, grabbed Liu Yiyi's hand, and looked on incredulously:

"Yiyi! This can't be true! How could you possibly marry a good-for-nothing?!"

He stared intently into Liu Yiyi's eyes, his voice trembling:

"Does he have some kind of leverage over you? Don't worry, Yiyi, I'm going to duel him tomorrow! I definitely won't spare his life!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yiyi's heart stirred.

A plan has been devised!

She immediately looked at Lin Fengchen with deep affection, her eyes seeming to say:

You guessed it, he was the one who threatened me!

But she said softly:

"Brother Fengchen, after all... it was Brother Fengmian and I who had the engagement first. I cannot disobey my father's orders..."

She paused, her eyes sparkling, her voice softening even more:

"How about this, you two will have a duel tomorrow. Whoever wins, I will marry."

Another deathly silence fell over the hall.

Lin Fengchen stared at her blankly, feeling both pain and anger, yet a glimmer of hope also flickered in his heart.

If I win, she's mine!

He abruptly turned his head, staring intently at Lin Fengmian, his eyes surging with murderous intent, and gritted his teeth as he said:

"Lin Fengmian! Tomorrow, I will kill you!"

Lin Fengmian watched the clumsy monkey show before him and cursed inwardly.

Lin Fengchen is incredibly stupid; he's being used as a pawn and he's still feeling incredibly touched.

However, Liu Yiyi is quite clever.

By betting on both sides, she can make a profit no matter who wins.

If she loses, she still has Lin Fengchen as a backup; if Lin Fengchen loses, she will naturally have to marry her, the "victor".

They're certainly playing the abacus well.

However… a mocking smile curled at the corner of Lin Fengmian's lips.

This woman is far too confident in herself.

He said he could do without a true saint like Chu Qingyi;

Even with Nangong Li's stunning beauty and cold allure, daily dual cultivation with her wasn't enough.

Where does this green tea girl get the confidence to think he'll be interested?

He glanced down at Liu Yiyi's hand, which was tightly clasped around his arm, and his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

A strong, overpowering scent of cosmetics wafted towards him, making him feel nauseous.

He swung his arm and flung Liu Yiyi's hand away without any mercy, the force so great that she staggered two steps.

"Ah!" Liu Yiyi exclaimed softly, steadying herself, a hint of surprise and embarrassment flashing in her eyes.

But it was quickly concealed.

Lin Fengmian didn't even glance at her, but simply said:

"Alright, let's see tomorrow."

After saying that, he turned and left, his blue robe fluttering, his demeanor composed, as if everything that had just happened was nothing more than a boring farce.

Upon seeing this from behind, Lin Fengchen flew into a rage!

"Lin Fengmian! How could you be so rough with Yiyi!"

He rushed forward two steps, but Lin Fengmian ignored him without even turning his head.

Lin Fengchen was so angry that he trembled all over, but soon he took a deep breath and turned to look at Liu Yiyi.

His face instantly changed to one of deep affection, his eyes reddened, and his voice trembled:

"Yiyi, don't worry! I will definitely rescue you!"

He clenched his fists tightly, his gaze so resolute it was as if he were some kind of savior.

"Tomorrow on the arena of life and death, I will definitely kill that piece of trash Lin Fengmian! Then you will be free! We can be together openly and honestly!"

Liu Yiyi stood there, looking at his appearance, and a cold smile rose in her heart again.

But her face showed an expression of deep emotion, almost bringing her to tears, and she said softly:

"Brother Fengchen... Yiyi is waiting for you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengchen was immediately filled with fervor, wishing he could rush onto the life-or-death arena right now and fight Lin Fengmian to the death.

Tomorrow's battle is one in which he not only has to win, but he has to win spectacularly!
