"Consider? I certainly don’t have the patience to wait for you to consider, and besides, an ugly and useless woman, does she even have the right to voice an opinion? Family Head Lin, give me a clear answer now, or don’t blame the Chenn family for being ruthless."
Hearing the refusal in Lin Xiong’s words, Chenn Xuan also sneered, his expression darkening as he spoke.
Lin Xiong’s gaze fixed menacingly on Chenn Xuan, "This is the Lin family residence, Chenn Xuan, I can overlook your youthful arrogance for now, get lost."
"You want me to get lost?"
Chenn Xuan sneered again, standing up. As if speaking casually, he said: "Perhaps Uncle Lin isn’t aware that I, your little nephew, have formed a sworn brotherhood with the Ximen family’s peerless genius, Ximen Ying, recently. Don’t you think it’s a bit inappropriate to speak to me that way?"
As this statement spread, it was like a heavy bomb had been dropped in the hall; not only did everyone’s faces change dramatically, but even Lin Wan, who always maintained a stoic expression, had her long eyelashes quivering minutely.
Lin Xiong’s eyes grew even darker, and beneath that darkness was a hint of bitterness; he had not expected Chenn Xuan to be able to forge a connection with the Ximen family. Although he didn’t know what means the other party had used, there was no doubt that this would considerably strengthen the Chenn family’s influence in Three Rivers City...
Inside the hall, looking at the somewhat arrogant Chenn Xuan, many of the Lin family members had unpleasant expressions.
"Considering that your Lin family once had some dealings with the Hong family, I can give the Lin family a chance. If someone from your younger generation can exchange blows with me and remain undefeated within ten moves, then my Chenn family will not trouble you for the next ten years. Of course, if you fail, no one can oppose this marriage anymore! How about it?" Seeing the grim expressions of the Lin family members, Chenn Xuan laughed out loud before continuing.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiong and some of the Lin family elders’ faces couldn’t help but change slightly. Although Chenn Xuan was known for his recklessness, his talent for cultivation was exceedingly strong, and his current strength probably lay between Third and Fourth Grade Martial Venerate. Within his generation in the entire Three Rivers City, hardly anyone could compete with him; even for ten moves, it was doubtful anyone from the Lin family’s younger generation could withstand... However, if they didn’t compete, the Lin family would likely have to resort to their last means of force, and if the Ximen family were to intervene, the Lin family would be doomed.
Silence lingered in the hall for a long while before it was finally broken by a cool voice.
"Chenn Xuan, it’s not your turn to be wild here, just ten moves? If you lose, get out of the Lin family immediately!"
Chenn Xuan sharply turned his head to look, only to see two figures walking through the hall’s entrance; the leader was the very person who had just spoken, a slender and graceful figure in white.
As the Lin family, including Lin Xiong, saw the figure, they were stunned for a moment. After taking a good look at her, a look of shock surfaced on their faces, "Your appearance and cultivation..."
Lin Wan slightly curved her lips in a smile, then looked gratefully at Ye Xuan. Without him, she would probably still be that ugly girl, the waste, hiding in a corner.
Hearing this, Lin Xiong was once again astounded, almost unable to believe it. The recovery of her appearance was one thing, but for the Dantian to be restored as well? Despite his extreme astonishment, the scene before him could not be mistaken.
Others also felt joy in their hearts; the Lin family’s clipped-wing genius had finally grown her wings back.
"Heh, this truly is joyous, Waner, now our union is indeed a match made by heaven." Chenn Xuan said with a smiling face.
"Save those words for after you’ve defeated me."
A look of disgust flashed deep in Lin Wan’s eyes. This guy, from head to toe, even down to his bones, exuded an uncomfortable feeling for her.
"Sister Waner, it’s good to have your strength restored, but being too confident isn’t good," Chenn Xuan said, his eyes burning as he scanned Lin Wan’s shapely body, then smirked.
Previously, his proposal was purely to take over the Lin family, but now his motives had slightly changed. He had long harbored thoughts about Lin Wan, only they had faded a bit due to not seeing her for a long time. Now, seeing her unblemished, he naturally became interested.
"Enough talk, let’s begin."
Lin Wan had no desire to talk more with Chenn Xuan. She had already drawn her sword from her waist, and instantly, a fierce Sword Intent was released. Her long black hair also scattered with the movement, and her dress fluttered in the wind.
"Heh, let’s play then."
A cold light flashed in Chenn Xuan’s eyes, then his robe billowed, a wind vortex appearing around him. The vortex sped up, forming a whirlwind within the hall.
Lin Wan made a move, taking the lead out of the hall. The space here was too small, making it difficult to maneuver, and any struggle could damage the hall. After going outside, it would be more convenient to start.
Her foot stomped down, a gust of wind arose, and Chenn Xuan’s figure vanished within the howling wind.
Lin Xiong and the others were shocked and hurriedly followed her out. Lin Wan’s cultivation was a grade lower than Chenn Xuan’s, and such recklessness would likely lead to a big loss.
Inside the hall, there was only one person who remained unhurried and expressionless: Ye Xuan.
If anyone knew Lin Wan’s current strength best, it had to be him. He had been cultivating the Dragon Demon Dominating Fist for the past half month, while Lin Wan hadn’t been idle either; although her cultivation hadn’t improved during this period, her Martial Arts skills had progressed considerably.
