Swordsman of the Sword God
Ch. 81 - Colluding With the Luo Clan
Lin Meng turned to look at Lin Cuin, his face was still as cold as ever. Lin Cuin did not care and continued saying.
"Lin Mengx, we are calling you to discuss marriage with the young master of the Luo Clan." Lin Cuin spoke of their purpose.
Lin Meng did not respond, her gaze was still ice-cold.
"Come, son, this is for the good of the Lin Clan, we will get more resources and money if you marry the young master of the Luo Clan. Luo Zheng was the best young man who......"
"I'm not going to marry him!"
Lin Cuin did not finish speaking when her words were cut off by Lin Meng, coldly and firmly stating that she would not marry Luo Zheng.
"Bad!" Lin Cuin became angry.
"How dare you cut off the elder's talk ?!" another old man also spoke up, supporting Lin Cuin.
Lin Meng turned his head to look at the old man next to Lin Cuin, Lin Zao.
"This is the best thing for the Lin family and also for your life. By having a relationship with the Luo family, the Lin Kita family can improve and produce more martial artists, even you will receive more resources from both families and advance faster into the next realm. ." Lin Zao spoke seriously, trying to expose the advantages of marriage.
"I'm not marrying that bastard! She just wants to marry me to play with my body, she doesn't even love me!" Lin Meng did not back down by answering firmly.
He would rather commit suicide than marry that bastard Luo Zheng. He was just a beast unable to control his evil desires, following him endlessly, bothering him day after day.
Lin Meng wanted to become stronger to be able to deal with this kind of problem. The lack of strength frustrated him. If she had the power, she could decide her own fate and not be forced to marry for the sake of family. He wanted to become stronger to control his life, so no one would force him to do something he did not want to do.
Lin Meng could not help but remember Fei Hung. The man who pulled her out of the abyss of pain and helped her without asking for anything in return. The man who even helped her cure her illness and promised her that he would help her become stronger. He always remembered Fei Hung's words. Fei Hung's shadow became clearer in his mind.
Lin Dong did not speak all this time, but he noticed his daughter's reaction. Lin Dong did not want to force the engagement on his daughter, she was his only daughter.
The problem was, the Luo family was putting intense pressure on them to accept the marriage proposal. Some of the businesses and resources that were the support of the Lin family had been taken by the Luo family in order for him to agree to marry off his daughter to the young master of the Luo family.
"Son, have you considered this? are you really not going to marry Luo Zheng?" Lin Dong asked, wanting to get confirmation on the matter.
"I'm not going to marry him!" Lin Mengx replied once more, ignoring Lin Cuan and Lin Zao's angry gazes.
Lin Dong sighed inwardly at his daughter's decision. He also did not want to force her to marry Luo Zheng, making her unhappy in the future, just to increase the strength of their Lin family.
"It's okay, don't worry son. I will take care of this matter and try to refuse marriage to the Luo family completely."
"But patriarch!"
Lin Cuin no longer spoke, listening to the patriarch.
'Don't think that you can't escape your destiny. The young master of the Luo family already has a plan to coerce you, this remains only a matter of time.' thought Lin Ciun when he couldn't convince this father and son pair. He had colluded with the Luo family, so he had always told the Luo family about the Lin family matter.
"Dad, I want to tell you that I won't be back home for a day or so. I'll stay at a friend's house ..." Lin Meng remembered what Fei Hung said to him, so he asked his father for permission. He only said about staying with a friend, to avoid explaining everything.
Lin Dong nodded, but wondered inwardly, Who is the friend that his daughter meant.. All this time, she almost never came out, so now she doesn't forbid her son to go to her friend's place even though she doesn't know who it is.
Lin Dong then agreed and reminded him to be careful and if he found any problems, he had to tell him as soon as possible, and he would take care of it.
Lin Cuin frowned, while making sure that she would tell the young master of the Luo family about this later.
Lin Meng bid farewell to his father and left the main hall.
After entering his room.
Lin Meng sat on her bed, picked up a hand toy and played it in her hand.
Lin Meng had understood his feelings for Fei Hung, so she decided to give something to him.
Looking at the medicinal place that contained medicinal liquid that dispelled the coldness on his body on the side of the bedside table, his lips slightly raised.
Lin Meng prepared the bag by putting in some change of clothes that he would wear in these few days, as well as other personal items, since it would likely take a long time to learn what Fei Hung would teach him, so he now prepared everything he needed.
Knowing that he was going to spend time with Fei Hung, his cheeks flushed slightly.
Shaking his head to put those thoughts aside and thinking of other things, he continued to put in some things that he needed and then waited for the night, then went to meet Fei Hung.
...
After discussing something they were talking about, Fei Hung finally said, "Brother Tian, I asked you not to tell anyone that you know me. Let my identity be all you know."
Xin Tian tilted his head in confusion hearing Fei Hung's words.
"mmmmmmm. It's a little hard to say now, but I don't want people to know where I am now. It'll cause a commotion in the city." Fei Hung said a temporary reason.
Xin Tian nodded. She wants to tell her family that she has found their benefactor who healed her mother. But observing Fei Hung's seriousness, he decided to keep it a secret.
"I promise you. All right, I have to go now, because I want to keep looking after and taking care of my mom so she'll get well soon." Xin Tian stood up. Ling Yan would also accompany her to see Ling Xi whether her younger sister wanted to go home or stay with Xin Wanying.
