"What's wrong with her now?" Lin Fan asked.
"She, she has been under house arrest by the Ling Family for twenty years … Sigh!
What a pitiful woman! "The shop owner sighed as he spoke.
Hearing this, Full Moon Cave Master and Ming Yan both burst into tears.
The shopkeeper saw that Ming Yan looked very much like Ling Hongyun. She looked exactly like Ling Hongyun when she was young. At this time, when he saw her crying sadly, he became even more suspicious. However, he didn't dare to ask too much. Then, he described Ling Hongyun's experiences in detail.
He really didn't hide anything.
After hearing about her mother's tragic experience, Ming Yan lost her appetite and couldn't even drink anymore. Lin Fan had to pay the bill and leave. When he paid the bill, the cashier behind the counter was scared stiff.
The cashier fell to the ground and desperately waved his hands, "Spare me, spare me, spare me!"
Lin Fan was afraid of being scared to death, so he didn't insist on paying the bill and walked out of the restaurant with the father and daughter.
After leaving the restaurant, Full Moon Cave Master and Ming Yan took a long time to shake off their grief. Full Moon Cave Master said thoughtfully, "Lin Fan, I didn't expect the Ling Family Head to be the City Lord of Ling Stone City. They have a big family business. I'm afraid the Ling Family won't agree to Hongyun meeting us …"
"Of course, the Ling Family won't agree." Lin Fan said.
"Then, then what should we do?" Ming Yan said with a sad face.
"Tomorrow is the big day of the Ling Family's Young Master. This is a good opportunity. We can take the opportunity to sneak into the Ling Family.
We'll act according to the circumstances. "
As he spoke, Lin Fan took out the invitation from his chest.
He waved it in front of the father and daughter and stuffed it back into his chest.
Ming Yan and Full Moon Cave Master's hearts lit up when they saw this. They secretly praised Lin Fan for his scheming.
That night, in the inn, Lin Fan used his Yin Qi to transform his Qi and blood to improve his cultivation. During this trip to the Ghost Territory, he obtained hundreds of millions of Yin Qi points. It could be said that his points were inexhaustible in a short period of time.
With this upgrade, Lin Fan rose five levels in a row. His cultivation rose from True Element Boundary Fifth Level to Yuan Core Realm First Level.
…
The next day.
The entire Ling Stone City was brimming with a festive atmosphere. The Ling Family was even more decorated with lanterns and colored banners. The word "Xi" was pasted all over the luxurious mansion, and there was a scarlet carpet.
From the main gate to the main hall where the wedding ceremony was taking place, the walls of the courtyard were decorated with colorful decorations, fireworks, and silver flowers.
It was full of joy …
The young master of the Ling Family, Ling Qing Yun, rode on a tall horse and pulled a bridal sedan behind him.
Surrounded by a group of people, they walked towards the tavern.
Ling Qing Yun's face was flushed with success. Thinking that tonight, he would be able to rightfully push down that arrogant Xianxia, that charming and lovely Guan Qing Si, under his body, he felt even more pleased with himself.
As the residence of the City Lord, the more festive the day was, the more vigilant the Ling family was. At this moment.
Inside and outside the Ling Residence, there were experts guarding the courtyard, and the security was tight.
If you want to enter the Ling family, you must have an invitation.
At this time, the citizens of Towering Stone City came one after another to send their congratulatory gifts.
At the entrance of the Ling Residence, there was a station specially set up to receive congratulatory gifts. A white-haired, eagle-eyed old man with the cultivation of the Celestial Sage Three Soldier Realm stood at the entrance, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's.
He constantly scanned the people coming and going, and his divine sense constantly checked every cultivator that came.
Two servants sat behind a table to register. Every family that sent a driver's gift would be recorded in the register.
It was easy to check the accounts.
Those ordinary people, after sending their gifts on Weibo, tactfully left.
The Ling Family was powerful, and they would not care about ordinary people. They did not have the qualifications to ask for a wedding banquet. However, if they did not send gifts, it was equivalent to offending the Ling Family, and they would definitely not have a good time in the future.
Those who had money and power sent gifts that were more expensive.
They all had a fawning expression, but they did not stay to drink.
Because they did not receive an invitation.
Only those with profound cultivations would have invitations in their hands.
Only then would they have the authority to enter the Ling Residence.
In this world where strength was respected, all power and wealth depended on strength. Although those rich and powerful officials were rich and powerful, they were not as popular as those with high cultivation.
Before going to the Ling Residence, he first put Cave Master Full Moon and Ming Yan into the Sumeru Ring.
Then, he cut a bunch of hair and stuck it on his lips to act as a beard. In addition, his current cultivation was at the first level of the Yuan Dan Stage.
This made him look a little like the bearded man he killed in the restaurant yesterday.
Then, he prepared a special congratulatory gift. With the invitation in hand, he walked with the crowd to the entrance of the Ling Residence.
First, he presented his congratulatory gift.
Because there were more people sending gifts at this time, the person in charge of receiving the gifts was also in a flurry. Seeing that Lin Fan presented a big package, he was too lazy to open it and casually threw it to the side.
Lin Fan handed over the invitation. The white-haired, eagle-eyed old man stared at him and used his divine sense to scan him again. Then, he said suspiciously, "I say, bearded man, why are you covering your head with a big hat on such a hot day?
Are you imitating a woman's confinement? "
The surrounding people laughed when they heard this, their eyes fixed on Lin Fan.
Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat. He coughed dryly and deliberately covered his mouth and nose. He said in a muffled voice, "Last night, I went to Yihong Brothel to have fun. There was a new star there, proficient in all kinds of music. In the end, I was almost squeezed dry by that vixen. See, I caught a cold today …"
"Haha, haha …" The surrounding people roared with laughter, but no one doubted Lin Fan's identity.
The white-haired, eagle-eyed old man also laughed and said, "You pervert, what else can you do besides finding women?
But it's your fortune to be able to gain the young master's favor. Take advantage of this opportunity. Not everyone can enter the Ling Residence to drink … hmph … "
"Hey, hey, you're right …" Lin Fan covered his mouth and nose, mumbled, and walked in with the crowd.
He thought to himself, That was close. If they saw through it, it would be troublesome.
His goal today was not only to snatch away the bride and escape with Guan Qingsi, but also to rescue Ling Hongyun and reunite their family.
If he acted rashly, he would alert the enemy. This white-haired, eagle-eyed old man was a third level Yuan Dan Stage practitioner. With this kind of cultivation, he was actually standing guard for the Ling Family.
From this, it could be seen that the Ling Family was full of talents and experts.
As the saying goes, there is always someone better than you. He could not be too careless.
After entering the Ling Residence, Lin Fan was much more relaxed. He leisurely strolled around the Ling Residence, observing, waiting, and looking for an opportunity …
Just as Lin Fan entered the Ling Residence, the two assassins, one fat and one skinny, arrived at the Ling Residence's door.
They had followed Lin Fan all the way to Soaring Stone City, and after arriving at Soaring Stone City, they had continued to follow him. Yesterday, when they heard that Lin Fan was going to the Ling Family, they had killed two of the Ling Family's Guest Elders and obtained two invitation cards.
However, when they handed over the invitations, they quickly attracted the attention of the white-haired, eagle-eyed old man. The old man stared at the two of them suspiciously, and at the same time, released his divine sense to scan them. When he saw their cultivation, he immediately showed a frightened expression and questioned loudly, "The two of you are not the people we want to invite. Why do you have invitations from the Ling Residence?!"
Actually, this white-haired, eagle-eyed old man did not have Fiery Eyes. He did not know everyone and could see through everyone at a glance. He mainly relied on his divine sense to observe the other party's cultivation to determine whether the other party's identity was correct or not.
The guests invited by the Ling Family today were indeed people with profound cultivation. Most of them were in the Yuan Dan Stage.
However, there was a limit to everything.
The Ling Family's Patriarch, Ling Tianci, was only in the Yuan Dan Stage, half a step into the Yuan Ying Stage.
How could there be cultivators with higher cultivation in Ling Stone City than him? The two assassins' profound cultivation immediately exposed their identities.
Seeing that they could not fool them, the two assassins did not show any signs of panic. It was obvious that they had thought of a countermeasure in advance. The short, fat assassin sneered and said, "You really think that we are here to attend a wedding banquet? You underestimate us too much. We are officials of the Huang Long Empire …"
As the assassin spoke, he flipped his hand and a tiger tally appeared in his palm. This tiger tally was given to him by Prince An. This tiger tally symbolized Prince An's military power and could be used at critical times.
Needless to say, after the old man saw the tiger tally, he was really shocked. Although this was not the tiger tally of the Yan Kingdom and could not be of any use to them, for these two powerful cultivators to take out a tiger tally, it was still a deterrent to him.
The old man cupped his hands and said indifferently, "Why do the two officials have invitations from our residence?"
"We picked up this invitation card."
"Picked up? Where did you pick it up?" The old man asked suspiciously.
"The guest you invited was assassinated. After the assassin killed the person, he found this invitation card on the body of the deceased. Unexpectedly, it was discovered by the two of us. The assassin had no choice but to leave the invitation card and escape. We're just here to report …" The short and fat assassin lied without blinking an eye.
The old man said to the two assassins.
Half believing and half doubting, he suspiciously glanced at the two of them and said in the same indifferent tone, "Uh.
Then many thanks to the two of you. "
The two assassins cupped their hands and turned around to leave.
Seeing them turn around and leave, the old man looked at them coldly.
The old man coldly glanced at their backs. At this moment, the person inspecting the congratulatory gift cried out in surprise, "Old Ying, how unlucky! Someone actually gave us hell coins!"
The servant said as he waved his hand. In his hand was a large pile of paper.
The white-haired, eagle-eyed old man, who was the so-called Old Ying, stared at the pile of paper.
His face became extremely gloomy as he coldly ordered, "Quickly find out who gave it to us."
"Old Ying, it was given by Big Beard."
"Big Beard?"
Old Ying's eyes turned and his face was full of surprise. After hesitating for a moment, he quickly took out a Message Talisman and immediately reported what happened in front of the door to City Lord Ling Tianci.
At this moment, Ling Tianci was receiving a few important guests in the main hall. After receiving the message, he heard that someone gave him hell paper on his son's big day.
His face turned green with anger.
While he was angry, he also felt uneasy. He immediately asked, "Who gave it to us?
Have you found out? "
"It was Big Beard." Old Ying replied.
"Who is Big Beard?"
"He is a guest that Young Master just accepted."
"Who is he? How can he be so daring?" Ling Tianci said angrily.
"Big Beard is just a nobody. City Lord Ling, I don't think Big Beard is so daring. Someone else probably ordered him to do it …"
"Find Big Beard and tie him up. I want to interrogate him personally." Ling Tianci ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes, I will do it right away!"
"Also, tell the people below to strengthen the defense.
If you find any suspicious people, you must report it to me. "Ling Tianci ordered again.
"Yes, yes …" Old Ying immediately led people to find Big Beard.
However, after searching for two rounds, they still couldn't find him.
After Lin Fan entered the Ling residence, he found a quiet place.
He took off his hat and pulled off his beard.
He recovered his original appearance. Not only that, he also used the Zishu Transformation Technique to hide his cultivation. His appearance and cultivation changed greatly. It was as if he was a completely different person. No matter if it was the naked eye or divine sense, they couldn't find him.
…
Guan Qingsi was a xianxia cultivator. Xianxia cultivators were free and unrestrained people with high status. However, they didn't expect that such a xianxia cultivator would become a sacrifice in marriage. For the benefit of her family, she was forced to marry a lecherous man.
In her grief and indignation, Guan Qingsi chose to commit suicide last night. However, she didn't succeed in the end. After being discovered, the head of the Guan family placed a restriction on her body. This restriction completely imprisoned her. She couldn't move or speak, just like a person in a vegetative state.
Until today, when she was forced to marry the Ling Family's descendant, the Guan Family's Clan Leader finally released the restriction on her body.
The head of the Guan family had calculated everything. Guan Qingsi couldn't commit suicide in the Guan family, but if she committed suicide after marrying into the Ling family, then it wouldn't have anything to do with the Guan family. As long as the Guan family's benefits could be protected, sacrificing a woman was nothing.
In this world, women were originally very lowly!
The auspicious time had arrived. Guan Qingsi was carried out of the bridal sedan by two women. After bowing to heaven and earth, they entered the bridal chamber. Ling Qing Yun could no longer control himself.
According to the rules, he could only unveil the bride's veil at night. However, he couldn't wait any longer. Guan Qingsi's rejection of this marriage made him angry. Guan Qingsi's beauty made him drool.
He impatiently reached out to unveil Guan Qingsi's red veil and laughed proudly. "Haha, Guan Qingsi, the great xianxia cultivator revered by millions, the noble and virtuous Miss Guan. In the end, didn't you still fall into my, Ling Qing Yun's, hands? If I, Ling Qing Yun, want something, I will definitely get it …"
As Ling Qing Yun spoke, he wanted to pounce on Guan Qingsi.
However, unexpectedly …
Guan Qingsi's jade-like hand made a grabbing motion. With a flash of light, a green immortal sword appeared in her hand. The sword tip was pressed against Ling Qing Yun's chest. With a face full of disgust, she said, "Ling Qing Yun, you bastard. You destroyed me, so I will also kill you. Today, this lady will perish together with you …"
Ling Qing Yun was startled. Shame and anger appeared on his face. He laughed coldly and said, "Guan Qingsi, you dare to kill me?
Even if I lent you two guts, you wouldn't dare. Do you think that if you kill me and perish together with me, everything will be settled? Your mind is too simple. Don't forget about your Guan Clan. Your father, mother, brothers and sisters. If you kill this young master, they will all pay for this young master's life … "
Hearing this, Guan Qingsi's face quickly darkened. What Ling Qing Yun said was not without reason. If she killed Ling Qing Yun, the Ling Clan would definitely not let the Guan Clan off. At that time, the head of the Guan Clan would naturally push her parents and brothers and sisters out to apologize. The ones who would suffer would be her closest family.
