I'm invincible once I descend the mountain; the beautiful CEO is forcing me to get our marriage

the other side.

Lin Chanyi returned to the Lin family mansion in Wudong Province in the car sent by her family to pick her up.

As soon as she stepped into the living room, she sensed that something was wrong.

Grandpa and Grandma sat in the main seats, their faces serious.

In the guest seat sat a strange man.

The man was about thirty years old, wearing a black training uniform, and his back was ramrod straight.

He didn't look at Lin Chanyi, but instead tapped the mahogany tea table in front of him rhythmically with his knuckles.

But the imposing aura he exuded made the air in the entire living room feel somewhat oppressive.

"Chanyi, you're back," Grandpa Lin Zhengde said first.

"Grandpa, Grandma," Lin Chanyi stepped forward and greeted them politely.

"Hmm." Lin Zhengde nodded, then pointed to the man and introduced him, "This is Protector Wang of the Juyue Sect."

Juyue Gate?

Lin Chanyi's heart skipped a beat.

Of course she knew about Juyue Gate.

That was a major martial arts sect in their Wudong Province, known for its domineering ways and numerous masters.

From a young age, she had heard from her family that she was engaged to the young master of the Juyue Sect.

But after she joined Medicine King Valley, no one mentioned this matter again.

Although Medicine King Valley mainly cultivates alchemy, its sect leader, Yun Jingxing, is a master of the Celestial Realm, and even the Giant Mountain Sect dares not offend him easily.

As for now...

Lin Chanyi's heart sank little by little.

"Chanyi, come and greet Protector Wang." Grandma tugged at her hand.

"Guardian Wang," Lin Chanyi greeted softly, her head bowed.

The man known as Protector Wang then raised his head and glanced at her.

His eyes were cold, as if he were examining a piece of merchandise.

"Hmm, not bad looking, worthy of my young sect leader," Protector Wang said, his voice hoarse. "Now that he's here, let's get ready and get on our way."

"So fast?" Grandma was a little surprised.

Protector Wang frowned: "The young sect leader will soon emerge from seclusion, and he must bring the person here before he does. Times have changed. Is your Lin family trying to break the agreement?"

"No, no, I wouldn't dare." Lin Zhengde quickly waved his hand. "Chanyi, go back to your room and tidy up first."

Lin Chanyi stood still, without moving.

She looked up at her grandfather, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to begin.

"Cicada Robe!" Lin Zhengde's face darkened. "Hurry up! Don't keep Protector Wang waiting!"

Lin Chanyi's eyes immediately reddened.

She bit her lip, turned around, and ran upstairs.

In the living room, Grandma sighed and explained to Protector Wang, "This child has been spoiled by us since she was little, please don't take it to heart."

Protector Wang didn't speak, but simply picked up his teacup and took a sip.

The tea has gone cold.

Lin Chanyi returned to her room, closed the door, leaned against the door panel, and slid weakly to the ground.

Why...

Why is this happening?

She knew she was engaged since she was a child, but she didn't think it was a big deal before.

Marrying someone is not the same as marrying.

But things are different now.

She had met Ye An.

The man who saved her in her moment of crisis.

The thought of marrying a so-called young sect leader whom she had never met and whose subordinates had sent such a fierce-looking man to fetch her filled Lin Chanyi with intense resentment and resistance.

She doesn't want to get married.

But can she resist?

Grandpa and Grandma's attitude is already very clear.

Her own wishes were completely irrelevant when it came to the interests of her family.

The young master of the Juyue Sect is said to be a martial arts genius who will soon reach the Celestial Realm.

How could a small family like the Lin family dare to offend them?

Lin Chanyi felt a wave of despair.

She subconsciously touched her chest, where the talisman Ye An had given her was.

The talisman still felt warm to the touch, like the person's body temperature.

"If you encounter danger, just throw it away... If you have any problems that you can't solve, you can come directly to me."

Ye An's words echoed in my ears again.

Is this considered... an insurmountable difficulty?

But what good would it do to go find him?

This is her family matter, her engagement.

Why should Brother Ye help her? Even if he were willing to help, how would he face the entire Juyue Sect?

Lin Chanyi's mind was in turmoil.

She knew that if she really went to find Ye An, she would be dragging him down with her.

She can't be that selfish.

Grandma's voice came from downstairs.

"Chanyi, hurry up, stop acting like a child."

"After you marry him, you must listen to the young sect leader. You studied alchemy in Medicine King Valley, so the Giant Mountain Sect will definitely cherish you."

"Once you marry him, you'll be the wife of a powerful family head, second only to the head of the household. Our Lin family might even need your help then."

Grandma's words, one by one, reached her ears like tiny knives stabbing into her heart.

Lin Chanyi slowly stood up and walked to the dressing table.

In the mirror, the girl's face was beautiful and refined, but her eyes were as red as a rabbit's.

She took a deep breath and wiped away her tears.

"Okay, Grandma, I understand," she replied calmly to the door.

Since there's no way to resist, then accept your fate.

only……

Lin Chanyi looked at herself in the mirror, feeling empty inside.

Brother Ye, why didn't we meet sooner?

……

The car was driving on the highway.

Lin Chanyi sat in the back seat, watching the scenery rushing past the window, without saying a word.

Wang, who was driving, glanced at her in the rearview mirror but didn't say anything.

The car hadn't been driving for long when it suddenly braked hard and stopped in the middle of the road.

"What's wrong?" Lin Chanyi asked, startled by the sudden movement.

The one who answered her was not Protector Wang.

Instead, it was the sound of unhurried footsteps coming from outside the car.

"Who?"

Protector Wang's body jolted violently, his entire being tense like a spring, staring intently ahead.

A person was seen leisurely walking over from the roadside.

The man was wearing a Qing Dynasty-style cloth jacket, cotton shoes, an old-fashioned pocket watch hanging around his neck, and a pair of round brass-framed glasses.

Judging from his attire, he looked like a wealthy young master from the Republican era, but his actual age was at least over forty.

"Patriarch Zhang?" Protector Wang's expression changed drastically upon recognizing the newcomer. "Why aren't you staying in your own territory? What are you doing here?"

"Hehe." The man called Zhang the family head simply smiled, his hands behind his back.

He completely ignored Protector Wang, his gaze sweeping around the car before finally settling on Lin Chanyi, who sat in the back seat with a terrified expression.

"This must be Lin Chanyi, the one your young sect leader personally chose?" The Zhang family head's voice carried a hint of amusement. "I heard she's a genius alchemist from Medicine King Valley, and also has the aptitude for cultivation?"

He looked at Lin Chanyi and chuckled twice more: "Your elders are really heartless, how could they bear to push their own granddaughter into a fire pit?"
