After Zhang Yu received the order from the clan leader, he could only hold back the anger in his heart and endure the humiliation and continue to come to Caiquan Island to ask for Lin Fan.
But this time, the other party’s approach was even more extreme than last time!
He politely asked for a meeting outside the island for a long time, but the other party didn't even reply, and regarded him as a stranger!
It would be better if the other party is in retreat or there is no one on the island.
But the butler, Black Bear, was still wandering back and forth in front of him despite the restrictions!
It seems to be saying: Stop shouting, even if you break your throat by shouting, Mr. Xiong will not help you pass the message!
"Damn it!" Zhang Yu, after trying to no avail, could only return to the clan in despair and reported the situation to the clan leader.
To his surprise, the clan leader actually smiled on his face after hearing this.
What's going on? Is the patriarch stupid?
The other party treats our Zhang family so rudely, how can the patriarch still laugh?
The clan leader also noticed Zhang Yu's doubts and explained: "According to our investigation, this Lin Fan was originally a nobody. He went from being an unknown outer disciple to where he is today."
"A person like this must have far more thought and endurance than others!"
"Suppose he really has a huge grudge against my Zhang family, what do you think he will do?"
Zhang Yu suddenly said: "He will definitely lie dormant like a poisonous snake. When his wings are completely hardened, he will suddenly attack my Zhang family!"
"That's right! If the first meeting between you and him happened suddenly and he couldn't control his emotions, so he deliberately made things difficult for you, then that would make sense."
"But the second time you went there, he didn't even see you. His dislike for my Zhang family was written directly on his face. This cannot be explained clearly by the word impulsive."
"Therefore, the only possibility is that this person has no deep hatred against my Zhang family. He just dislikes my Zhang family because of some trivial matters and does not want to associate with my Zhang family." The patriarch said.
"I see! After all, you are the patriarch of the clan, and your analysis is indeed sound!" Zhang Yu suddenly realized.
"Okay, let's end this matter. I know you must be unhappy, but I hope you will consider the interests of the entire family and not provoke this person." The patriarch said.
"Clan leader, don't worry. I, Zhang Yu, have always acted prudently. If I see Lin Fan again in the future, I will just go around him!" Zhang Yu said.
"Well...that puts me at ease," the clan leader said.
…
Jiaoming Island.
After Jiang Yue completed her daily practice, she was bored and sat by the pond, staring blankly into the distance.
Ever since she learned that Lin Fan had also been promoted to the Upper House, she wished she could meet him.
However, because her cultivation progress failed to satisfy Fourth Aunt Jiang Lan, Fourth Aunt set up an additional layer of restrictions on the island.
Only after she has advanced to the middle stage of opening the pulse, will the fourth aunt remove the restriction and let her leave the island.
Speaking of which, her emotional journey was really full of ups and downs.
First, she was engaged by the clan early, and she was still married to someone she didn't like.
Then she finally met Junior Brother Lin, whom she liked, but because she was engaged, Junior Brother Lin deliberately alienated her.
Now, her fiancé is finally gone. However, because of the progress of her cultivation, she was imprisoned by her fourth aunt and was not allowed to see Junior Brother Lin.
"Hey... when can I see Junior Brother Lin again?"
Not long after she sighed, she heard someone walking over.
She turned around and saw the person wearing a white shirt. It was her cousin Jiang Yan.
"Cousin? How did you get in?" she asked doubtfully.
"I can come in. Of course, Fourth Aunt gave me the token that prohibits opening and closing." Jiang Yan said, took out the token and waved it in front of the other party, and continued: "Come on, come out with me."
"Go out?" Jiang Yue said excitedly.
But soon, her expression darkened again and she said
: "I want to go out too, but if Fourth Aunt finds out, I will definitely be punished twice as much."
"Do you think I took you out secretly? Don't worry, Fourth Gu agreed to take you out." Jiang Yan said.
"Ah? How is this possible?" Jiang Yue said in surprise.
"Let's go, I'll talk to you slowly about the specific situation on the way." After Jiang Yan finished speaking, he stepped on the flying sword and flew out of the island.
Seeing this, Jiang Yue hurriedly stepped onto the escape light excitedly and followed him.
On the way, Jiang Yan informed Jiang Yue about the situation.
It turned out that after the Jiang family got the news that Lin Fan was a talented alchemist, they were also planning to win over him.
The representative they sent was Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yanze took the opportunity to propose and asked Jiang Yue to go with him. The fourth aunt was also present at the time and agreed to the matter.
"Junior brother Lin has become a genius in alchemy!" Jiang Yue said with disbelief on her face.
"When I first heard the news, I was surprised for a long time. This Junior Brother Lin is really amazing."
"However, this is good news for you. As long as you can convince Junior Brother Lin, the Jiang family will definitely try their best to facilitate your marriage," Jiang Yan said.
"I also want to form a Taoist couple with Junior Brother Lin, but I don't know if Junior Brother Lin can still like me." Jiang Yue said with a slight blush.
…
the other side.
As soon as Lin Fan saw off a group of people, he heard another voice coming from outside the island.
"Inner disciples Jiang Yan and Jiang Yue are here to visit. Is Junior Brother Lin at home?"
The Jiang family is here too?
Lin Fan shook his head helplessly and shouted to the black bear outside: "Fellow Taoist Xiong, please go and bring the two people outside in."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Not long after Black Bear left, he brought Jiang Yue and Jiang Yan to the gate of the mansion.
"Junior Brother Lin, long time no see." Jiang Yue said with cupped hands.
"Long time no see. Welcome, Senior Sister Jiang Yue, and Senior Brother Jiang Yan as our guests." Lin Fan stepped forward and said.
After some polite greetings, Lin Fan led the two of them to sit down in the living room.
"Junior brother Lin, we are here on behalf of the Jiang family. We want to invite you to join our Jiang family. This is the plan we have made. Please take a look at it." Jiang Yan said bluntly.
Lin Fan took the jade slip and after a brief inspection, he said, "The plan provided by the Jiang family is indeed very sincere. However, please give me some time to think about it carefully."
"That's right. By the way, you and Jiang Yue haven't seen each other for many years. If you want to chat for a while, I'll leave first."
Jiang Yan knew very well that the specific plans of the Jiang family were similar to the conditions offered by other Zifu aristocratic families. If he wanted to win over Lin Fan, the key was to look to his cousin Jiang Yue.
Therefore, after he made his purpose clear, he left in a sensible manner, leaving the two of them alone for the rest of the time.
But what he didn't expect was that not long after he went out, he saw his cousin walking out with a sad look on his face.
He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong, cousin? Didn't you tell Junior Brother Lin your thoughts?"
"I said it, but my junior brother said that he only wants to focus on the great road and has no interest in having children for the time being."
Who wouldn't want a Taoist companion at such a young age? Junior Brother Lin must be looking for an excuse because he dislikes him!
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue could no longer bear it and burst into tears.
