Lin Zhan patted Zhen Nai Xuena's head and said jokingly, "Hurry up and get up. Don't you see these elders watching from the side?"
Zhen Nai Xuena, blushing, released Lin Zhan but didn't dare to look up at Lin Hai and the other two.
Lin Zhan turned to look at the bruised and swollen Miyamoto Musashi with a sly grin and said, "Oh my, isn't this my great-grandfather? Hurry up, please have a seat."
Miyamoto Musashi said grumpily, "At least you have some sense." As he was about to sit down, he suddenly felt a cold sensation from behind.
He slowly turned his head and saw Lin Shan glaring at him with a dark expression: "San..."
Before Miyamoto Musashi could finish speaking, Lin Shan grabbed him by the collar and dragged him over. With a swift punch and a chokehold, Lin Shan said as he beat him, "You old bastard, you tricked Zhan yesterday into calling you that, and you dare to agree today? Aren't you obviously trying to take advantage of me? Old man, your Third Uncle is warning you one last time. If you dare to agree again, I'll kill you directly."
Lin Shan's ferocity was among the top-tier even among the Quasi-Kings of the clan. Moreover, Miyamoto Musashi was not a clan Quasi-King, just a middle-ranking Quasi-King. Facing a powerful figure like Lin Shan, he could only endure the beating.
The bruised and swollen Miyamoto Musashi once again climbed up from the ground and glared at Lin Zhan, saying viciously, "You little brat, you did that on purpose yesterday, didn't you?"
Lin Zhan, like a good child, nodded and said, "Yes, I did it on purpose."
Looking at the enraged Miyamoto Musashi, Lin Zhan secretly thought, "What if this old guy gets too agitated and has a stroke and just kicks the bucket? Then I'll be left with Zhen Nai Xuena, such a delicate and gentle beauty. Should I take care of her or take care of her? Alas, being too outstanding is also a sin. I, the great young master Lin, am already beyond redemption."
If Miyamoto Musashi could see people's inner thoughts, he would have probably had a stroke and died on the spot upon knowing Lin Zhan's thoughts.
Zhen Nai Xuena quickly helped Miyamoto Musashi to sit down and said, "Great-grandfather, please calm down. I've already spoken with Young Master Lin. They are rushing back to China to report the situation to the Human King so that he can quickly attack the Ten Thousand Races Church and stop the human race from becoming blood food for the Ghost and Ghost races."
After hearing Zhen Nai Xuena's words, Lin Hai and Lin Shan exchanged glances and nodded to themselves.
Miyamoto Musashi, covering his bruised eye, said, "My dear girl, what kind of love potion has this brat given you? You're so devoted to him. Besides, this brat is more cunning than a monkey. Do you need to tell him? His family's powerful figures have already arrived. Even the kings of those two beasts wouldn't be enough for his ancestors to kill."
"Ah, so powerful? Then our clan members will be saved. What rank are you among the people from the Lin family, Great-grandfather?" Zhen Nai Xuena was very surprised after hearing her great-grandfather's words, but then she became happy.
Looking at the foolish girl in front of him, Miyamoto Musashi knew that his great-granddaughter had fallen for Lin Zhan. He could only say helplessly, "Look at how I've been beaten, and you'll know. Among the people from the Lin family, even someone who just serves tea and water could easily kill your great-grandfather."
"Ah, that strong?" Zhen Nai Xuena said dejectedly.
Miyamoto Musashi looked at the dejected Zhen Nai Xuena with great heartache. He knew that he was the girl's biggest reliance. When she asked about his cultivation, she wanted to use her status as a Quasi-King descendant to be worthy of Lin Zhan. However, he never expected that a Quasi-King was nothing in the eyes of the Lin family, and this also made the girl realize how vast the gap was between her and Lin Zhan.
Miyamoto Musashi seemed to have made up his mind. He looked up at Lin Hai and Lin Shan and said, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, I know my status makes this request presumptuous, but you've seen it too. Our girl is a good child, and she truly has feelings for Young Lin. I only beg you two to give this girl a chance, even if it's just to be a concubine. As long as you two nod, my life as Miyamoto Musashi belongs to the Lin family."
Miyamoto Musashi's words completely stunned Lin Zhan, who was getting dressed nearby. "Holy cow, I haven't done anything, and now it's like finding parents."
Lin Hai turned to look at Zhen Nai Xuena and said gently, "Come, girl, tell me, why do you like this rascal of ours?"
Zhen Nai Xuena hadn't recovered from her great-grandfather's words and could only shyly answer Lin Hai, "Replying to this senior, I don't know when it started. Perhaps it was last night when Miehiko told me that Young Master Lin had attacked the imperial family and even captured the Emperor and the Crown Prince."
"The fate of the women of the Zhen Nai clan is to marry into the Fusang imperial family. However, the current Crown Prince, Sandoku, is not only short and ugly but also cruel and has massacred innocent civilians. Tens of thousands of people have been tortured and even their corpses sent as blood food to the Ten Thousand Races. I would rather die than marry such a person."
"Originally, with Great-grandfather protecting me, the imperial family wouldn't dare to do anything to me. But as Oda Nobunaga, that man-eating devil, began to advance to King, Sandoku kept pressuring me and causing trouble for me. It was when I was in the most difficult situation that the news of Young Master Lin capturing the imperial family arrived. This truly saved me. I was even planning to ask Young Master Lin to kill them today."
Lin Shan said from the side, "Girl, you just said that Oda Nobunaga eats people?"
Zhen Nai Xuena nodded in fear, "Yes, senior. Oda Nobunaga kills people every day as food, and the Emperor and Sandoku also eat humans. Sandoku told me this to show his nobility."
"Damn it, those two bastards," Lin Zhan said angrily.
He pushed open the door and shouted, "He Dazhuang, chop those two little imps to death! Xiao Han Yi, take your Lou Wai Lou experts, along with Lin Yi and Lin Er, and slaughter the entire imperial family. Leave no one alive."
Lin Shan said coldly, "Second Brother, I'll accompany Han Yi this time."
Lin Hai didn't speak, just nodded. Lin Shan said goodbye to Lin Zhan and walked out of the room.
Emperor Guangwu of Han, Liu Xiu, appeared in the room. "I heard what this girl said. Have Wuchen lead the way for me. I will personally go and meet Oda Nobunaga. Also, Xiao Hai, this girl is not bad. You can let Zhan consider her."
Before anyone could speak, Liu Xiu disappeared in a flash.
Lin Zhan looked at the dashing Liu Xiu, who came and went freely, and couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of the man with the title of Son of Destiny. Such aura, such demeanor, truly dashing."
