"Father, don't I still have you? You won't be able to protect me when I'm in danger!"
"Father's cultivation isn't even as high as Wu Xinhe's.
If it really comes down to a matter of life and death, I might not even be able to keep my life. How can I take care of you … "
"That Lin Fan's cultivation isn't even as high as Father's."
"His cultivation isn't as high as his, but his strength is far superior."
"Father, how can you be so sure?"
"Father thinks that he must have obtained a great opportunity and has something on him that can save his life."
"Father, that's just your wishful thinking …"
"Stop talking nonsense. Come, get off the carriage and follow Father in. When you see Lin Fan's parents, be polite …" Xue Hansan forcefully pulled Xue Jiaying off the carriage. Then, ignoring the gazes of the coachmen, he pulled his daughter to the door of the Lin Residence and knocked on it.
Not long after.
The door opened.
The one who opened the door was Lin Haishan.
Seeing that it was a stranger, Lin Haishan's face showed surprise and vigilance. He glanced at the father and daughter of the Xue Family. "Who are you looking for?"
Xue Hansan said, "This is the Lin Residence, right?"
The Lin Family was a small family. Naturally, the two words "Lin Residence" would not be marked on the door.
Although Xue Hansan clearly knew that this was the Lin Residence, he still wanted to confirm it.
"Uh, no."
Lin Haishan did not have any concept of the "Lin Residence". He felt that it was very far from his own home. He thought that the other party might have recognized the wrong place.
Xue Hansan was startled. Then, he realized that the way he asked the question was not appropriate. Thus, he said, "Uh, I'm asking if Lin Fan's family lives here, right?"
"Uh." Lin Haishan, who was about to close the door, stopped and asked, "You are?"
"My name is Xue Hansan. I'm a member of the Haitian Gang. Within the gang, I have a good relationship with Xia Qiusheng."
After introducing himself, Xue Hansan pointed at his daughter, "This is my daughter, Xue Jiaying. She and Lin Fan are fellow disciples of the same sect. They have a pretty good relationship …"
Lin Haishan nodded when he heard this. He carefully sized up the father and daughter before suddenly remembering something. "Uh, you're that Hall Master Xue, right?"
"Yes, I am Xue Hansan." Xue Hansan's attitude was very humble and humble.
"I know, I know," Lin Haishan said. "I've heard Qiusheng mention you before. He said that your family has a beautiful daughter. Now that I've met you today, I can see that the rumors are true."
When Xue Hansan heard this, he suddenly felt that there was a chance. He smiled and said, "Uh, Qiusheng has already mentioned it to you. What else did he mention to you?"
Lin Haishan paused for a moment. He remembered his son's attitude towards Xue Jiaying, so he didn't want to say more. He just invited the father and daughter inside and said, "Please come in. Let's talk inside."
Xue Hansan waved at the disciple who was driving the horse. The disciple hurriedly took out two gifts from the carriage and brought them over.
Xue Hansan took them and handed them to Lin Haishan.
He said, "This is the first time you're here. I don't know what you like. This is a jar of Nu 'er Hong and two wild ginseng that I've kept for ten years. Please accept it."
Originally, the arrival of Xue Hansan and his daughter had made Lin Haishan a little confused. Now, seeing that they came with gifts, and such expensive gifts, he was flattered and even more confused. He didn't dare to accept the gifts. He waved his hand and said, "No, no, no. These gifts are too expensive. I can't accept them … If you have anything to say, just tell me …"
"You're Lin Fan's father, right?"
Xue Hansan said, "Here's the thing. Lin Fan has helped me a lot in the past. Also, he once protected my daughter, Jia Ying. Today, there's no other reason but to thank him. So if you accept my gifts, my business will be considered done …"
Lin Haishan could tell that Xue Hansan and his daughter had something to say, so he invited them into the house. "How about this? Sit down in the house and wait for Lin Fan to come back. If you have anything to say, you can talk to him."
Xue Hansan and his daughter walked through the small courtyard of the Lin family and entered the hall. They met Xia Cuilan, got to know each other, and exchanged greetings.
As Xia Cuilan poured water for the father and daughter, she kept looking at Xue Jiaying. As a result, she was so distracted that the tea spilled outside. When she came to her senses, she hurriedly tidied up and then brought the tea over. She smiled and said, "I've heard from Qiusheng that Hall Master Xue has a beautiful daughter. Now that I've met her today, she's really like a fairy who has descended to the mortal world …"
Xue Jiaying's pretty face blushed. She was shy, embarrassed, and awkward …
"Haha." Xue Hansan laughed and said without any modesty, "She's beautiful, but she's not young anymore. A grown girl can't be kept at home. Aunt, do you have any matchmakers in your hands? Can you find one for my daughter …"
Lin Haishan frowned and smiled bitterly, "Hall Master Xue, you overestimate her. She's just a country woman. How can she be a matchmaker? Besides, the people we know are all poor people in the countryside. They're not good enough for your daughter …"
Xia Cuilan said, "Yes, Hall Master Xue, you're overestimating me. We've only been in the city for a short time and rarely go out. We don't know many people …"
Xue Hansan said, "Actually, I'm just saying. There are many people who are pursuing my daughter, but she doesn't like any of them. Am I right, Jia Ying?"
Xue Jiaying didn't know what her father was up to. She just nodded mechanically.
"My daughter doesn't usually get in touch with many people. She's only close to your family's Lin Fan." Xue Hansan looked at his daughter and winked at her. "Am I right, Jia Ying?"
Xue Jiaying suddenly realized that her father was waiting for her here. She felt depressed and embarrassed. She muttered in her heart, "Father, don't practice martial arts. You'll have a better future as a matchmaker."
Seeing that his daughter didn't agree, Xue Hansan felt a little embarrassed. He turned to Lin Haishan and his wife and said with a smile, "My daughter is good in every way, but she's a little shy …"
"It's good to be shy. Girls should be like this." Xia Cuilan praised her. She thought to herself, "Isn't it good to find a daughter-in-law like this?"
Gentle and gentle, educated, and polite. She felt at ease.
However, Xue Jiaying's performance today was very suitable for the role model of a daughter-in-law in this world.
In any case, Xia Cuilan liked Xue Jiaying more and more.
Xue Hansan saw that Xia Cuilan was staring at Xue Jiaying, so he took the opportunity to ask, "Auntie, what do you think of my daughter?"
"Good. I've never seen such a beautiful person in my life," Xia Cuilan said sincerely.
"You've never seen the world." Lin Haishan rolled his eyes at his wife.
"How about letting my daughter be your daughter-in-law?" Xue Hansan said shamelessly.
Lin Haishan and his wife were stunned when they heard this.
Xia Cuilan didn't know how to respond. It took her a while to react. "Hall Master Xue, you must be joking. Your family's Jia Ying has such good qualities. I, Lin Fan, am not worthy of her."
"She's worthy. She's completely worthy.
Most importantly, the two of them have a good relationship. "Xue Hansan looked at his daughter as he spoke.
He wanted his daughter to express her opinion, but Xue Jiaying wasn't as thick-skinned as her father. At this moment, her entire face was red from embarrassment.
"Is that so?" Xia Cuilan believed him. "If the two children have a good relationship, then it'll be a good marriage …"
Just as she said this, she heard the sound of fighting outside. Then, there was a loud bang. It was the sound of the door breaking. It was obvious that the door had been violently smashed open. Then, she heard a rough, ferocious, and resentful voice. "It's here. Charge in and kill his entire family …"
