"I'm a decent rake, a scoundrel with principles! I'm not just anyone to play around with. All this is for the great cause of the alliance, for the struggle against the Heavenly Clan, I've poured my heart and soul into it!"
Lin Zhan, his neck stiff, shouted at the five half-ancestor level big shots before him: Zi Qi, Zhao Ming, Xiang Tu, Chang Xi, and Qing Hua.
Xiang Tu flicked his hand and sent Lin Zhan spinning several times with a cuff to the head: "You little brat, who are you calling 'Little Master'?"
Lin Zhan glared hatefully at Xiang Tu and roared with grief and indignation: "Grandson, I'm a decent rake, a scoundrel with principles, alright?"
*Crack*
Xiang Tu, who had been furious moments ago, was sent flying by a cuff to the head from his own father. Sudan Novel Net.
"You little brat, are you trying to start a fight?"
Lin Zhan quickly ran to Zhao Ming's side and said, "Ancestor is mighty, ancestor fought well."
*Crack* The sound rang out again, and Zhao Ming was sent flying by a cuff to the head from Zi Qi.
"You little brat, why are you hitting my grandson? Do you think you're so capable?"
Xiang Tu, who had been sent flying, quickly ran to Zi Qi's side and said, "Grandpa is mighty, grandpa fought well."
Zhao Ming, dazed from the blow, shook his head and said to Zi Qi, "Father, why are you hitting me? Don't forget, this little brat hit someone. Zhan'er is the youngest in seniority now."
*Crack*
Zi Qi, who had reacted, waved his hand and sent Xiang Tu flying with a cuff to the head: "Damn it, too many grandsons, I can't remember them all."
Beside them, the two immortal ancestors, Chang Xi and Qing Hua, exchanged glances: "My god, what kind of habits do people in Da Shang have? They just hit their children on the head for fun."
Chang Xi subtly shook her head, and Qing Hua immediately understood the meaning:
"Second Brother, our Xian'er absolutely cannot marry this kid from Da Shang. Look at these people! From the ancestor down to the grandson, it's a group of lunatics."
After cuffing Xiang Tu, Zi Qi kept counting on his fingers. After a while, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This old ancestor had likely, probably, almost, approximately, estimated how many generations of grandchildren he had below him.
Zi Qi, having breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at the two immortal ancestors, Chang Xi and Qing Hua, and said, "My dears, there was a small misunderstanding just now, but don't mind it. Let's talk about the two children..."
Before Zi Qi could finish, Chang Xi interrupted him:
"Ah... haha, well, Great Duke Zi Qi, my brother and I also discussed it carefully just now. I feel that we must have misunderstood the relationship between the two children. Just as Young Master Lin said, we believe that Young Master Lin and Xian'er only have a pure comradeship."
"It's all my fault for those ignorant nephews of mine spreading rumors. Great Duke Zi Qi, please rest assured, I will definitely discipline them properly when we get back. Well, let's consider this matter settled. My brother and I need to return to the Immortal Clan to see the Old Ancestor, so we'll take our leave now."
After speaking, Chang Xi and Qing Hua, brother and sister, immediately tore through the void and left.
Lin Zhan watched the retreating figures of the two immortal ancestors and finally breathed a sigh of relief. What was all this about? They insisted on him marrying Xian'er.
All because of a few words from those foolish nephews of yours. Since when did the words of fools become believable?
Zi Qi patted Lin Zhan on the shoulder and said, "Kid, can't you focus on something important? Because of your trivial matter, all of us old guys have been mistaken for lunatics."
Lin Zhan shook his head helplessly and said, "Old Ancestor, I don't want to either. It's just that..."
Before Lin Zhan could finish, Xiang Tu gave Lin Zhan another knock on the head: "It's not a 'just that'! If you can't control your lower body next time, don't blame me for hitting you."
Lin Zhan was stunned and suddenly felt a chill in his crotch: "Old Ancestor, this has nothing to do with me! I didn't do anything!"
Xiang Tu glared and said, "Your mistake is that you didn't do anything! If you had done something, would we be in this mess today? Would Chang Xi and Qing Hua have brought our grandfather here thinking we were lunatics?"
"If you had actually done something, in a few days, even that old fellow Tai Xu would have personally come to the Human Clan to propose marriage. You useless bum, you had a chance and you couldn't seize it!"
Zi Qi and Zhao Ming exchanged a glance and nodded: "Zhan'er, your Ancestor Xiang Tu is right. This situation is passive for us because you didn't do anything."
"Although our Da Shang's reputation among the myriad realms is not very good right now, we can't be mistaken for lunatics. Forget it, think about it yourself. We have other matters to attend to, so we'll be going now."
With that, the three of them tore through the void, waved goodbye to Lin Zhan, and entered.
Watching the backs of the three old ancestors disappear, Lin Zhan couldn't help but say, "Old Ancestors, why can't you be a bit more assertive? What do you mean our Da Shang's reputation isn't good? It's never been good, has it?"
"Besides, what's wrong with being a lunatic? Does a lunatic eat our rice? Don't they say, 'I'm a lunatic, I don't get punished for killing. When you wander the Jianghu, you should always carry a knife.'"
Lin Zhan said as he carried his large saber, summoned the Five Little Ones, and intended to find trouble with the 12 Great Warriors of the Immortal Clan who spread the rumors.
If it weren't for these 12 idiots crying and shouting that their sister had been wronged, and that if this continued, they would become uncles before the war was even over.
How could this have happened? How could Chang Xi and Qing Hua have brought their old ancestors to demand an explanation from Da Shang?
If this ever reached his wife's ears, would he still have any standing?
Lin Zhan, with the Five Little Ones, swaggered to the Immortal Clan's camp, forcefully enduring the gazes of the Immortal Clan soldiers looking at their future son-in-law, and headed towards the Immortal Clan's command center.
As soon as he entered the door and was about to say some harsh words, General Lin saw the 12 Great Warriors of the Immortal Clan squatting obediently in a row against the wall.
Princess Xian'er, with a frosty expression, sat opposite them and said, "Who exactly spread these rumors? Is this how you brothers act? Do you speak of your sister like this? Do you think I'm unmarriageable?"
Princess Xian'er's delicate hands were covered in lightning, and she occasionally zapped her brothers.
"Sister, you can't blame us. That pretty boy Lin Zhan doesn't look like a good person no matter how you look at him. We were just afraid you'd be deceived. Besides, if we don't put him in his place now, won't you be bullied after you get married?"
"Exactly, exactly. Although this pretty boy is already married, he'll never be able to treat you as a concubine. If his wife dares to cause trouble for you, we'll go beat them up. What, who doesn't have relatives?"
Princess Xian'er was completely exasperated. With this level of intelligence, even her own biological brothers were impossible to communicate with.
