He had money, what else did he have...
This was clearly meant as praise for someone's wealth!
But when Huang Rui said it, it carried a tone of humiliation!
After all, money was merely something ordinary people pursued!
And before cultivators of a higher level, wealth was truly insignificant!
Huang Rui continued, "Lin Chen also mentioned before that many cultivators have come to the mortal world."
"Many of them do not abide by the laws of the mortal world, committing arson, murder, and robbery without remorse!"
"With our daughter's beauty, she is a top-tier beauty in all of Daxia."
"What if someone with ill intentions takes a liking to her, what will we do?"
"Are we to stand by and watch her be taken advantage of and killed?"
"As the saying goes, if a man does not think of the distant future, he will surely have sorrow near at hand. Do we not need to find a powerful backer?"
"Am I not doing this for our daughter and for our Xu family?"
Xu Xingguo was left speechless.
He hadn't thought of these things!
But now, hearing his wife's concerns!
He was also at a loss for words!
After all, ordinary people were like ants before cultivators!
Chen Nan, who was already unhappy about Huang Rui breaking him and Xu Qingxin apart, now felt his anger subside a little!
Their standpoints were different, after all!
For Xu Qingxin and the Xu family, she could think of these things, which was understandable!
"Aunt Huang, I understand your concerns, but I have two questions I must voice." Chen Nan said, "If you truly care for Qingxin, then first and foremost, you should respect her wishes."
"Instead of forcefully separating us without her knowledge, and arranging for her to marry someone she dislikes after the Spring Festival!"
Lin Chen, who had been silent, suddenly erupted, "Who do you think you are, daring to speak to Aunt Huang in such a tone?"
"Shut up!" Chen Nan looked at him with icy eyes. "Do you have any right to speak here?"
Seeing Chen Nan's icy gaze!
Lin Chen felt his scalp tingle, a shiver ran down his spine!
This was a bizarre feeling!
As a cultivator at the first level of Foundation Establishment, he had never experienced such immense pressure in the mortal world before!
At this moment.
Chen Nan's voice rang out again, "Secondly, you keep talking about finding a big tree for support, is he the big tree you're referring to?"
Lin Chen sneered, "I am the chief disciple of the Cold Frost Valley on Mount Tianzhu. Is this identity not enough?"
Chen Nan frowned, "Excuse me, I haven't heard of it!"
Lin Chen's smile stiffened for a moment, then he said, "It's normal for a frog in a well like you not to have heard of it. After all, you wouldn't know about matters in our cultivation world!"
"Let me put it this way."
"There are many mountains in the world where cultivators gather!"
"My Mount Tianzhu is ranked third among these mountains!" He said this with an air of arrogance.
Chen Nan suddenly understood and said, "How does it compare to the eight top forces?"
Lin Chen's smile stiffened further. He suppressed his anger and said, "Let alone the cultivation forces of our Mount Tianzhu, even the cultivation forces of Mount Zhongnan wouldn't dare to compare themselves to the eight top forces!"
He paused, then added, "However, our Cold Frost Valley is a subordinate force of the Huashan Sword Sect!"
"Since you know about the eight forces, you must know of the Huashan Sword Sect, right?"
"This is the third-ranked super sect among the eight top forces!"
"It has over three thousand disciples and is a supreme great sect with thousands of years of heritage!"
"Who in the entire world would dare not show some respect to the Huashan Sword Sect?"
Chen Nan felt a bit embarrassed!
How could he not know of the Huashan Sword Sect!
After all, he had already become the sect leader of the Huashan Sword Sect!
Just waiting for the enthronement ceremony to announce it to the world.
However!
There was no need to mention such a thing!
Because even if he said it, they wouldn't believe him!
Huang Rui said with a proud expression, "See? This is the difference between you and Lin Chen, the difference between mud and the bright moon!"
"If Qingxin marries him, she will undoubtedly receive the protection of the Cold Frost Valley and the Huashan Sword Sect!"
"Then, not to mention the Xu family rising to prominence, at least no one will dare to bully us!"
"Moreover, Lin Chen has also promised us that when the new sect leader of the Huashan Sword Sect holds his enthronement ceremony next year, he can take us to attend!"
"This way, we can meet the reclusive eight super forces."
"Those are existences that are rarely seen!"
"Can you give us these things?"
"Also, you keep saying you love Qingxin. If that's the case, then you must think for her!"
"After all, sometimes letting go is also a form of love!"
"I will marry no one but Chen Nan in this lifetime!" Xu Qingxin's tears fell like rain.
Although Chen Nan was a bit of a scoundrel, often smelling of other women, this was the man she had chosen!
She never regretted her choices!
And she detested people making decisions for her the most!
Lin Chen's father, Lin Kangwei, slowly stood up and said, "Xingguo, since that's the case, we will take our leave first. The matter of the two children's wedding can be discussed after the enthronement ceremony of the new sect leader of the Huashan Sword Sect."
Lin Chen also stood up. He glanced at Chen Nan and said, "Don't let me see you a second time, or I'll beat you every time I see you!" With that, the family of three walked out.
Xu Xingguo and his wife stood up to see them off.
"We will meet again soon!"
Watching Lin Chen's departing figure, Chen Nan's lips curled into a playful smile!
However, the next time they met, Lin Chen would definitely not dare to hit him!
After all!
The next time they met would be at the enthronement ceremony of the new sect leader of the Huashan Sword Sect!
"Chen family boy, what have you been busy with lately? I thought you weren't coming to visit before the Spring Festival!"
Old Master Xu spoke, his face showing a kind smile!
"That's not possible. No matter how busy I am, I must come to see you, elder. Yes, my father often taught me that a person must understand the rules!" Chen Nan smiled and took out the Lingjiao Pill. "This junior has brought some pills, and I hope you live a hundred years long!"
Old Master Xu smiled with relief, "Having this intention is better than anything!"
"Brother-in-law, in my opinion, you should elope with my sister!" Xu Xiaoning, who had great social skills, took a pill and popped it into his mouth, chewing on it.
While eating, he said carelessly, "Although that Lin Chen seems very powerful, I just don't like him!"
"That's right!"
"I despise people like him who brag and try to scare others!"
"As if the Xu family is scared by others!"
"Let alone whether what he says will happen, but even if disaster strikes, so what?"
"Compromise is the act of a coward!"
"A true man must fight head-on!"
"Even if it means death, fear not!"
"If it weren't for the elder generation of sages like Grandpa stepping forward to resist foreign enemies during times of war!"
"Would we have today's peace and reunion?"
Old Master Xu's face was full of relief, "Fortunately, although you are mischievous and often make me angry, you have a firm stance on major issues."
Xu Xiaoning smiled proudly, "Of course, who do you think I am the grandson of!"
Old Master Xu looked at Xu Qingxin and said earnestly, "Girl, listen to your brother, you two should elope!"
Huang Rui walked in with a frosty expression, "If you dare to elope with Chen Nan, do you believe I'll just bang my head against the wall right in front of you?"
