This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
However, he didn’t expect that Su Qingtong would appear in Qingmu Divine State, and even become an outsider woman adopted by the Lin Family, now set to marry the Lin Family’s Young Master.What secret is hidden behind all this?
Luo Changfeng decided he would personally visit Qingmu Divine State to uncover the truth.
…
A few days later, Luo Changfeng arrived in Qingmu Divine State alone.
Qingmu Divine State, as one of the most prosperous and powerful states in the entire Eastern Region, held a wealth far beyond comparison to the Northern Desolate Divine Continent.
The streets were bustling with flowing traffic, a constant stream of pedestrians, and an array of shops and restaurants overflowing with goods and advertisements, overwhelming the senses.
Luo Changfeng walked along the streets, feeling the pulsating vitality of Qingmu Divine State, and couldn’t help but marvel inwardly.
“This truly is the Martial Dao Holy Land.”
He took a deep breath before heading toward where the Lin Family resided.
…
The Lin Family, as one of the four top-tier family forces within Qingmu Divine State, naturally boasted a grand and opulent estate.
Standing outside the Lin Family estate, Luo Changfeng gazed upon the majestic manor, and his heart filled with mixed emotions.
“This is the place where Su Qingtong is going to marry, huh?”
Taking another deep breath, he strode towards its gates.
…
Within the Lin Family manor, an atmosphere of joyous celebration pervaded.
Today was the Lin Family Young Master’s wedding day, and the entire Lin Family was busy preparing for the grand affair.
In a finely adorned boudoir, Su Qingtong sat quietly at the bedside dressed in phoenix crown and ceremonial red robes.
Her face was devoid of any happiness, instead clouded with sorrow and defiance.
She didn’t want to marry the Lin Family Young Master; what she desired was freedom—the power to control her own destiny.
But as a powerless woman, how could she possibly go against the Lin Family’s arrangements?
She could only bear it all in silence, waiting for that man’s arrival.
…
Just then, the door suddenly swung open, and a figure walked in.
Su Qingtong raised her head and froze in place.
Because the one who entered was her husband-to-be—the Lin Family Young Master.
“You… why are you here?” Su Qingtong asked nervously.
The Lin Family Young Master smiled faintly and said, “I came to see my bride. What, am I not welcome?”
Su Qingtong’s heart tightened further at his words.
She had no idea what this man intended to do, nor how to respond to him.
Walking up to her bedside, the Lin Family Young Master gazed upon Su Qingtong’s beautifiully enchanting face, a glimmer of greed flashing in his eyes.
He reached out as if to touch her face but was met with Su Qingtong’s quick evasion.
“What are you doing?” she asked warily.
The Lin Family Young Master chuckled lightly, saying, “Don’t be tense, I just want to take a closer look at my bride.”
As he spoke, he extended his hand again, attempting to grab hers.
Yet Su Qingtong avoided his touch once more and said, “Please show some respect. We aren’t officially wed yet.”
This comment made the Lin Family Young Master’s expression darken instantly.
He looked at Su Qingtong coldly and said, “Do you think you—an outsider woman—are worthy of talking respect with me? Let me tell you, today you either marry me willingly or by force, but marry me you shall!”
With that, he angrily waved his hand, pushing Su Qingtong down onto the bed before leaning over her.
Terrified, Su Qingtong struggled, but her strength was no match for his.
She could only watch helplessly as the man imposed his will, despair and helplessness crashing over her.
At that moment, a figure abruptly appeared in the room and dragged the Lin Family Young Master off of Su Qingtong.
“Who!?” the Lin Family Young Master shouted furiously.
When he saw the intruder clearly, he froze.
It was none other than the Lin Family’s current Family Head.
“What’s the rush? Go greet our guests first,” Lin Tianxiong, the Lin Family Head, said with an amused grin.
“Once the festivities are over, isn’t she yours to do with as you like then?”
Lin Tianxiong, clearly satisfied, gazed warmly at his son, knowing he was merely impatient due to his fondness for Su Qingtong.
And someone like Su Qingtong—an outsider woman from Qingmu Divine State—was fortunate enough to marry into the Lin Family.
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Tianxiong patted his son’s shoulder, saying, “Alright, stop dawdling here. Get out there and attend to the guests now.”
Afterward, he turned and left the room.
Though inwardly unwilling, the Lin Family Young Master knew now wasn’t the time to act rashly.
Taking a deep breath, he adjusted his attire before leaving the room.
…
Left alone in the room, Su Qingtong sat numbly on the bed, her mind in chaos.
She hadn’t expected the Lin Family Head to arrive at that moment, effectively saving her.
Yet she knew this didn’t mean she was safe.
After all, as an outsider woman in the Lin Family, she held no status or leverage.
Breaking free from the Lin Family’s control would require her own effort and cunning.
Lost in these thoughts, Su Qingtong slowly began formulating a plan.
…
Meanwhile, Luo Changfeng had arrived at the gates of the Lin Family estate.
Gazing upon the grand manor once again, mixed emotions stirred within him.
“So, this truly is the Lin Family of Qingmu Divine State,” he mused.
“No doubt, Qingmu Divine State is indeed far more prosperous compared to the Northern Desolation.”
He took another deep breath and stepped forward into the estate.
…
Inside the Lin Family manor, the lavish wedding was in full swing.
Guests raised their glasses in cheer, laughter filling every corner.
In a secluded spot, Luo Changfeng stood silently, his gaze scanning each person present.
After considering for a moment, Chen Taiping quietly departed.
This was, after all, Lin Family territory.
As long as he confirmed the authenticity of his information, that would suffice.
Later, upon returning to Northern Desolate Divine Continent…
He could then make preparations to deal with the malice stemming from the Lin Family in Qingmu Divine State.
After all, no matter what…
It had been the Luo Family from Qingshi City that had single-handedly brought about the fall of the Su Family in Northern Desolation.
Night descended, yet the Lin Family manor in Qingmu Divine State remained ablaze with light and filled with lively celebrations.
However, beneath this festive surface lay unseen currents swirling in secrecy.
Luo Changfeng quietly left the Lin Family manor and returned to his temporary lodging within Qingmu Divine State.
Seated in his room, eyes closed, he contemplated his next steps.
He knew that to protect the Luo Family of Qingshi City, relying solely on his own high-tier combat power wouldn’t be sufficient.
He needed to factor in more variables, crafting a more comprehensive plan.
Suddenly, a knock at the door interrupted his thoughts.
Luo Changfeng opened his eyes, walked to the door, and pulled it open.
Standing outside was a man clad in black attire, smiling faintly as he looked at him.
“Brother Luo, long time no see,” the man said.
Gazing at the man before him, Luo Changfeng’s eyes flickered with surprise.
“Is it… Yun Yi?” he asked incredulously.
Yun Yi was an old friend he made in Northern Desolate Divine Continent, an exceptional cultivator with whom he had endured countless trials of life and death.
He never expected to reunite under such circumstances.
Yun Yi smiled and nodded. “Indeed, Brother Luo. Who would’ve thought we’d meet again in Qingmu Divine State?”
Filled with emotion, Luo Changfeng pulled Yun Yi into the room.
Once seated, Luo Changfeng asked, “Yun Yi, why are you here? Are you also here because of the Lin Family?”
Yun Yi confirmed, “That’s correct. I received information that the Lin Family might be planning harm against you, so I hurried over.”
Luo Changfeng felt moved upon hearing this.
He understood that Yun Yi had come solely on his behalf.
This bond of brotherhood would remain imprinted in his heart.
Taking a deep breath, Luo Changfeng said, “Thank you, Yun Yi.”
Yun Yi brushed the sentiment aside. “No need for thanks between us. After all, we faced life and death together as comrades back then.”
