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

These words shocked everyone present—Zhao Chen's actions undoubtedly showed that he was standing on Lin Fengmian's side and speaking up for him.

Lin Fengmian was also taken aback, not expecting Zhao Chen to make such a grand entrance to speak up for him.

Whatever the reason, the other party did a very good job of putting on a show.

However, this person was clearly more capable than Lin Fengmian had imagined. With just a few words,

The phrase "inferior skills" was a blatant insult to the Cang family, and the fact that the Cang family didn't refute it suggests that the other party's status was higher than they had imagined.

As a newcomer, Lin Fengmian naturally didn't want to offend this local tyrant.

Cang Xuan gritted her teeth and glared at Zhao Chen several times. But under Zhao Chen's calm gaze, she finally let out a cold snort, took out a jade tube from her storage bag, and tossed it directly to Lin Fengmian, saying coldly:

"Boy, this is the cultivation technique of my Cang family, the Azure Python Force! If you dare let anyone else know about it, my Cang family will hunt you down to the ends of the earth!"

After tossing the cultivation manual to the other party, Cang Xuan immediately gave her maid a look.

The maid immediately understood and slowly retreated downwards.

Lin Fengmian, however, remained expressionless.

After glancing at the technique a few times...

He tossed it into his storage bag and said in a light tone, "Okay, I understand."

His tone was very light, as if he completely looked down on this technique, but inwardly he was starting to have doubts:

I've really offended her badly this time! If I stay in the Sealed Spirit Land, I'll only be Gu Qingge's accessory from now on!

Otherwise, I'm afraid I'd be hunted down as soon as I stepped out! This Sealed Spirit Land is indeed a tough place to live in!

Just when Lin Fengmian thought he could finally catch his breath,

A strange, sarcastic voice rang out—

"Young Master Lin is truly skilled! I humbly request to learn from you!"

Cang Xuan was overjoyed to see this, for the person who had come was none other than Sun Wu, a master secretly cultivated by her family!

Her strength is no less than that of her older brother!

Only his intervention can avenge this humiliation!

My brother must not have reacted in time, which is why Lin Fengmian took advantage of the situation!

Lin Fengmian watched as he had just driven one away, and another one appeared.

A thought couldn't help but rise in my mind: Is this ever going to end?!

To be honest, Lin Fengmian really didn't want to be in the limelight. After all, there were so many beautiful women at this husband-selection banquet...

What if someone takes a fancy to my handsome appearance?

However… Lin Fengmian glanced at Gu Qingge beside him, and compared her to the other young ladies present…

If we're talking about figure, looks, and natural beauty, no one can compare to Gu Qingge.

"Sigh, why is it so hard for me, the playboy Lin Fengmian, to be devoted to one person for once?"

He suppressed his irritation and tried to be polite one last time:

"Young master, you flatter me. I was merely lucky; it's nothing to boast about!"

Unexpectedly, Sun Wu completely ignored this remark and instead pressed on relentlessly, his words like knives:

What? Is Young Master Lu making such a fuss because he thinks... the Gu family's "Ninefold Mountain-Crushing Force" is no match for the Cang family's "Azure Python Force"?

Or are you afraid and dare not face me head-on?

"boom!"

These words were like igniting a powder keg!

Lin Fengmian's anger flared up instantly!

Although he wanted to keep a low profile, deep down he couldn't stand being provoked or having those around him belittled!

He didn't reply immediately; the last trace of politeness on his face vanished, and his eyes gradually turned cold.

Damn it! They're so ungrateful!

Is this never going to end? Do you really think I'm made of clay?!

If you want to fight, then come at me!

I'll beat you so badly your own grandmother wouldn't recognize you today, or I'll change my surname to yours! You really think I'm easy to bully, huh?!

"Alright!" Lin Fengmian suddenly looked up, his eyes instantly turning sharp, all traces of his previous feigned humility vanishing completely.

"Since you insist on asking for a beating, I'll grant your wish!"

Lin Fengmian planned to play with this bastard who was threatening him slowly, crushing him bit by bit!

Meanwhile, the onlookers began to gloat.

Although Sun Wu's family was not as prestigious as Cang Lan's, his bloodline and strength were still among the top in Qingyun County.

Let's see how this vagrant can still swagger around! Hahaha!

Everyone was gloating, eagerly watching Lin Fengmian make a fool of himself.

Sun Wu, grinning maliciously, stepped forward, his blood surging, and it looked as if the two were about to draw their swords.

Gu Qingge trembled with anger, her usually striking face flushed slightly with rage.

She stood up abruptly, slamming her wine glass down on the table with a sharp clang.

"That's enough!"

Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority. Her phoenix eyes swept over everyone present, finally landing on Lin Fengmian, her beautiful eyes filled with complex emotions.

"We're not attending today's husband-selection banquet! Lin Fengmian, let's go!"

These words immediately caused an uproar in the main hall!

The young ladies from prominent families looked at each other in disbelief.

Gu Qingge, the most beautiful woman in Qingyun County, actually gave up today's husband-selection banquet for a man.

And they've even abandoned the Gu family's dignity, just like that, they want to take Lin Fengmian away?

What an honor!

The young masters who had been gloating earlier now all wore expressions of envy.

The gaze directed at Lin Fengmian was so intense it could burn a person to the core.

This homeless person whom Gu Qingge picked up from the street, actually managed to get Gu Qingge to go to such lengths.

They groveled and fawned over these noble ladies just to catch their eye, but in the end, they were not even as good as a vagrant's toe.

Lin Fengmian was also slightly taken aback.

He had been in the Phoenix Kingdom for several days and was naturally aware of the rules of this world—women were superior and men were inferior.

A woman's pride is paramount, especially in public. If Gu Qingge were to storm off today...

Tomorrow, the entire Qinghe County will be filled with gossip that "the eldest daughter of the Gu family has disregarded her dignity for a man," which will be a great damage to her reputation and that of the Gu family.

But this foolish woman, she actually disregarded all of this for my sake?

A warm feeling suddenly welled up in Lin Fengmian's heart.

Although he usually acts carefree and playful, he can clearly distinguish who is truly sincere to him.

Gu Qingge saved his life first, and now she's losing face for him.

Lin Fengmian kept this kindness and affection in his heart.

Since the other party has treated me this way, I, Lin Fengmian, certainly cannot be a coward!

Now that she's stood up for me today, I'm going to make her pay back tenfold, a hundredfold!
