Chapter 77: Let Him Who Dares Take Her

Stepping into the Lin Residence, Ye Chen followed Lin Miaoyin and others to a side hall where many martial artists surrounded the area, as if guarding it.

"Father."

In the side hall, a middle-aged man sat cross-legged on the ground, and upon hearing the voice, he suddenly opened his eyes.

"Miaoyin, you..."

The middle-aged man's expression changed as he looked at the three martial artists escorting Lin Miaoyin, and he directly reprimanded, "Lin Yun, why did you bring Miaoyin back!"

Lin Yun was precisely the True Martial Realm Eighth Stage cultivator. He explained the situation in detail, and the middle-aged man's gaze shifted to Ye Chen and the others.

"Two of you, I am Lin Ran, Lin Miaoyin's father. Thank you for saving her, but you shouldn't have come back." Lin Ran sighed lightly. Coming back was easy, but leaving again would be difficult.

"If it's because of the Qiu family, there's no need to worry." Ye Chen said indifferently.

Lin Miaoyin had no words of persuasion left, and Lin Ran shook his head with a sigh.

In Wangyou City, no one could contend with the Qiu family, especially since they were affiliated with the Northern Cold Palace. How could they resist?

This young man probably didn't understand the depth of the situation.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

At that moment, footsteps sounded, and two figures entered the side hall.

The young man from before was there, accompanied by a middle-aged man.

"Elder brother, you should be grateful. Lin Miaoyin has returned. Otherwise, if the Qiu family were to hold us accountable, you would undoubtedly die." The middle-aged man spoke with a cold, sinister tone.

This man was Lin Ran's younger brother, Lin Fang.

Beside him was his son, Lin Feng, the most outstanding disciple of this generation in the Lin family.

"Lin Miaoyin, get ready. The Qiu family will send someone in three days." Lin Fang said to Lin Miaoyin.

Lin Ran's expression turned cold as he stared at Lin Fang and said, "For the sake of a spot, for the sake of your son, you would sacrifice my daughter!"

Lin Fang sneered, "Elder brother, you're wrong. This isn't a sacrifice. The Qiu family has several Emperor Martial Realm experts. Many people in Wangyou City dream of joining them, but Lin Miaoyin being able to marry the Qiu family's master is her fortune earned over several lifetimes."

"If I had a daughter, how could such a good opportunity fall into your hands?"

"Nice words. But isn't it all for the sake of your son?" Lin Ran's face was filled with anger.

Lin Fang was willing to sacrifice Lin Miaoyin to secure a spot for his son.

What made Lin Ran most heartbroken was that their father actually agreed.

"Who says I don't have a son? Lin Miaoyin is no match for my son." Lin Fang said arrogantly.

Lin Feng also held his head high, his expression proud.

At seventeen years old, at the peak of True Martial Realm Seventh Stage, Lin Feng might not be considered outstanding in Wangyou City, but at least within the Lin family, no one could match him.

"Lin Fang, even if you get a spot, what then? Your son is just a supporting role, and he may even perish in the trial ground." Lin Ran sneered, "It's ridiculous. Now you're sacrificing a member of the family for a spot."

Lin Ran was already desperate.

He had no hope for such a family.

So, he arranged for Lin Miaoyin to leave, to bear all the consequences himself.

Unfortunately, Lin Miaoyin eventually came back.

"I see."

Ye Chen, who had been silent all along, finally spoke. After hearing so much, he probably had a guess.

He didn't know about any trial ground.

But he knew that Lin Fang and his son wanted to sacrifice Lin Miaoyin to marry her off to the master of the Qiu family.

Without a doubt, that master of the Qiu family was not a good person, otherwise, Lin Miaoyin and her father would not be so repulsed.

Such a family was truly shameless.

"You are the one who dares to disrespect the Qiu family and the Northern Cold Palace?" Lin Fang looked at Ye Chen, his eyes gleaming with terrifying coldness.

"Don't look at me like that, or you'll regret it for the rest of your life." Ye Chen's smile faded as he glanced at Lin Fang.

"Arrogant." Lin Feng snorted.

As his father was the next successor to the family head, this arrogant guy dared to be so disrespectful.

Lin Fang waved his hand to stop Lin Feng, then looked at Lin Miaoyin and said, "So, are you unwilling to go to the Qiu family because of him?"

Lin Miaoyin's beautiful eyes flickered, and she immediately responded, "It has nothing to do with them."

"Whether it has anything to do with them is not for you to decide." Lin Fang shook his head.

Ye Chen was taken aback. It seemed that Lin Fang misunderstood something between him and Lin Miaoyin.

"And it's not for you to decide either." Ye Chen's voice gradually turned cold.

Lin Fang frowned. How dare this guy be so arrogant in the Lin Residence? He was truly audacious.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on Wu Qingsnow behind Ye Chen, and a trace of evil light flashed in his eyes, a sinister glint.

"Lin Miaoyin, I didn't expect you to bring back such a stunning woman. If we can give her to the master of the Qiu family, our Lin Residence will definitely rise to prominence in Wangyou City, second only to the Qiu family." Lin Fang's eyes gleamed, and his pupils spun.

Wu Qingsnow's expression suddenly became cold, and a strand of killing intent burst out without hesitation.

Even Ye Chen's pupils contracted slightly. At this moment, there was a hint of killing intent overflowing.

Lin Miaoyin's expression instantly turned ugly as she looked at Ye Chen and the others, "You should leave quickly."

She didn't expect Lin Fang to be so shameless and have such thoughts.

"Leave?"

Lin Fang shook his head and sneered, "Since you've entered the Lin Residence, you can't just leave whenever you want."

"She is my martial attendant, and Lin Miaoyin is my friend. Let him who dares take her come!" Ye Chen uttered a cold sentence. If someone who knew him well were present, they would tremble, because Ye Chen in this state was truly angry.

Lin Miaoyin's beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at Ye Chen's solemn expression, feeling a slight throbbing in her heart for some reason.

This guy indeed liked to talk big, as if nothing mattered to him, making people feel helpless.

But the feeling of being protected by him was surprisingly blissful.

If she could really be with him, perhaps she would be happy.

This thought flashed through her mind, making Lin Miaoyin's jade face blush, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Am I going crazy?

To have such thoughts after only meeting him once, I must be crazy!

"Humph!"

Seeing Lin Miaoyin's reaction, Lin Fang snorted coldly. Still saying it has nothing to do with him?

As for Ye Chen's warning, he didn't take it to heart at all.

Whoever dared to take her, let him come.

When the Qiu family arrived, what could he do?

Could he bear it?

"Keep an eye on them. Don't let them leave this hall." Lin Fang left with these words.

At this moment, he was extremely pleased.

The woman brought back by Lin Miaoyin's beloved was no less beautiful than her. In three days, when the Qiu family arrived and saw the two stunning women, the patriarch of the Qiu family would surely be pleased.

By then, the Lin Residence would surely rise to prominence, second only to the Qiu family in Wangyou City.

"Alas, both of you, it's because of us that you're in this situation." After Lin Fang left, Lin Ran sighed helplessly.

In the hall, everyone's expressions, except for Ye Chen and Wu Qingsnow, were grim, even carrying a trace of despair.
