Chapter 2: First Meeting with the Fiancée

~11 min read 2,044 words

They had never witnessed such a scene; a living person, right before their eyes, had been slapped into a pulp.

"A devil, it's a devil!"

In an instant, the four of them turned and scrambled away from the scene.

Lin Wei, standing to the side, remained frozen in place, staring in shock at that back.

Was he... really her own brother?

Three years unseen, how had that scrawny, ordinary brother in her memory become so formidable?

"I'm sorry, sister, I just got back and already let you see blood!" Lin Feng felt somewhat remorseful.

He had not wanted to kill, but if Liu Wenlong had not set his sights on his sister, how could Lin Feng have started a massacre?

Three years ago, he had failed to protect his parents and family; returning this time, he would never let his sister suffer the slightest harm again.

Whoever dared to touch his family deserved to die!

"Brother, what on earth have you been through these past three years?"

Lin Wei's face was full of shock, but soon this shock turned into deep worry: "No, brother, let's go quickly!"

"Liu Wenlong is a member of the Qilin Gang, and the Qilin Gang is a notorious underground leader in Jiangbei. If you kill Liu Wenlong, the Qilin Gang will definitely not let you go!"

"Let's leave Jiangbei and never come back!"

Lin Wei pulled Lin Feng, turning to leave, but Lin Feng grabbed her hand.

"Sister, don't be afraid. A mere Qilin Gang cannot do anything to me!"

"I won't hide it from you: three years ago, I was hunted by enemies and had no choice but to jump off a cliff to escape. Fortunately, I was saved by my master and several senior sisters, who taught me martial arts!"

"Returning this time, not only am I following my mistress's orders to fulfill a marriage contract, but I also intend to uncover the truth of what happened back then!"

"To avenge my parents!"

At this point, Lin Feng's gaze suddenly became incomparably sharp.

Lin Wei, standing to the side, finally understood.

"So that's how it is!"

Lin Feng nodded slightly, then offered three sticks of incense to his parents and kowtowed heavily three times.

"Mom, Dad, rest assured. Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will find the murderer who killed you and avenge you."

Watching this scene, Lin Wei's eyes could not help but turn red.

"Brother, it's good that you're back. From now on, we will never be separated again!"

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Lin Feng also learned from his sister about her experiences over these years.

"Brother, all these years I've been working odd jobs to earn money, and I usually stay at Sister Shen Man's house!"

"Sister Shen Man has helped me a lot and has taken care of me for three years."

"If it weren't for her guidance, I'm afraid I would have gone to join our parents long ago!" Lin Wei said softly.

Shen Man was Lin Feng's high school classmate, and the Shen Family was one of many third-rate families in Jiangbei City.

Hearing her words, a flash of shock and surprise crossed Lin Feng's eyes.

"What about Jiang Qian? In the three years I was gone, did she not help you at all?"

Hearing these two words, a trace of deep disgust flickered in the depths of Lin Wei's eyes.

"Jiang Qian? Heh, ever since you had your accident, Jiang Qian has slandered the Lin Family more than once and has publicly distanced herself from you many times!"

"It's better to see through such a woman sooner rather than later!"

Boom! Hearing this news, Lin Feng felt as if struck by lightning, and a surge of intense anger welled up in his heart.

He had not expected that for three years, the one taking care of his sister was not his childhood sweetheart and deeply loved ex-girlfriend, but his high school classmate Shen Man.

At that moment, his deep affection seemed so ridiculous!

"Brother, don't be sad. Such a woman is not worthy of you at all!"

"Losing you is her loss!" Lin Wei comforted him.

"It's fine, I'm not sad; I hate myself for not seeing Jiang Qian's true colors sooner."

"I hate that I let you suffer for three years!" Lin Feng blamed himself.

Just as he finished speaking, Lin Wei stumbled, and her whole body suddenly fell heavily.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Lin Wei already suffered from anemia, and three years of long-term malnutrition combined with physical and mental exhaustion...

... had finally caused her already weak body to become overwhelmed.

And even more eerily, her complexion turned deathly pale, and cold air even began to emerge from her mouth.

"Brother... so cold..." Lin Wei struggled to open her eyes.

Lin Feng caught her and hurriedly took her pulse; the next second, a fine layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"This is... Cold Gu poison entering the body, eroding the internal organs!"

"Kunlun Cold Gu!!!" Lin Feng was both shocked and furious.

Someone had poisoned his sister?

Could it be that group of people who wanted to kill him back then?

No wonder his sister hadn't died... In an instant, an overwhelming killing intent erupted from Lin Feng's body, as if to devour everything.

"Sister, don't speak, I will treat your injuries first!"

Lin Feng took out a Silver Needle and pricked his fingertip; a trace of golden Dragon Blood was instantly absorbed by the needle.

Then, he quickly pierced the Silver Needle into his sister's Shenting Acupoint, and a surge of scorching hot Dragon Blood Qi poured into Lin Wei's body.

The faint cold air permeating her body was instantly dispersed completely, and Lin Wei's complexion slowly began to turn rosy.

"Sister, I can only suppress the Cold Gu poison in your body; to cure it completely, I still need a special medicinal ingredient!"

"These medicinal herbs are only available at the Su Family!" Seeing his younger sister wake up, Lin Feng's expression softened slightly.

Lin Feng had originally intended to go find Jiang Qian to ask for a clear explanation, but seeing his sister in such a state, he could only put that to the back of his mind.

The most urgent priority was to treat his sister's illness!

As it happened, the engagement his Master had arranged for him was also with the Su Family, so he might as well make a trip to the Su Family first.

Having said that, Lin Feng picked up his sister and turned to leave the Lin Family compound.

He hailed a taxi, placed her in the back seat, and quickly sped off in one direction.

Ten-odd minutes later, the vehicle stopped at the entrance of a luxurious manor.

When Lin Wei got out of the car, her mind went completely blank.

"Brother, this... isn't this the Su Family?"

"Why did you bring me here?"

Lin Feng pulled Lin Wei and walked straight toward the villa entrance: "That's right, it's here!"

"I forgot to tell you, Mingyue is my fiancée!"

What? The eldest young lady of the Su Family is her own brother's fiancée!

Once these words were spoken, Lin Wei was shocked, her eyes widening in utter disbelief.

Just as Lin Feng was about to enter the door, a figure, surrounded by several guards, slowly walked out from within the manor.

The woman wore a green gauze dress, her three thousand strands of dark hair flowing, and her skin was as delicate and fair as mutton-fat jade; every gesture she made carried an ethereal temperament.

Her appearance was even more stunningly beautiful, as if she were untainted by the dust of the mortal world.

Lin Feng had seen many beautiful women, but the woman before him left a deep impression on him, one that even his Senior Martial Sister could not surpass.

"Miss, the Old Master's illness can no longer be delayed; the Second Master has already called Li."

"He will arrive immediately!"

"Please do not worry too much!" the old butler of the Su Family said, bowing his head to Mingyue.

Mingyue's face was pale, her eyes bloodshot; looking at her, it was clear she hadn't slept well for several days.

"I understand! Zhao!"

Just at this moment, Lin Feng stepped forward and blocked Mingyue's path.

"Are you the eldest young lady of the Su Family, Mingyue?"

Hearing this voice, Mingyue was stunned for a moment; she raised her head slightly, her gaze falling upon Lin Feng.

"I am the eldest young lady of the Su Family, who are you?"

Lin Feng directly produced a marriage contract, and when Mingyue saw the name on it, her eyes suddenly flickered.

"Are you a disciple of Feng?"

Mingyue had long known that her grandfather had arranged a marriage contract for her, and the object of the engagement was a disciple of Feng.

It was rumored that Feng came from Kunlun, possessed great supernatural powers, and moved in mysterious ways.

The Mysterious Gate Thirteen Needles, which Feng had founded, could even bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on bones.

During this period, Mingyue had been trying every possible way to find this Phoenix Divine Doctor mentioned by her grandfather.

She just hadn't expected to see his disciple so soon.

But... the disciple before her looked a bit too young.

She wondered how much of Feng's skill he had actually learned.

Lin Feng nodded slightly, confirming his identity, and Mingyue seemed to have grasped a straw to save her life.

She said urgently: "Since you are a disciple of Feng, you must have learned his skills. Quickly, please save my grandfather!"

"As long as you can save my grandfather, I will agree to any condition you set!" Mingyue said, her emotions agitated.

"Old Master Su is ill?" Hearing this, Lin Feng immediately frowned.

"Yes, three days ago, my grandfather suddenly collapsed and fell into a coma. If you can save my grandfather, I can agree to marry you!" Mingyue said, grabbing Lin Feng's arm.

"Miss Su, don't be anxious!"

"First, take me over to see how the Old Master is doing!"

Saving people was a doctor's duty, and furthermore, Mingyue was his fiancée, so Lin Feng naturally had to act.

However, just as the two turned and were about to enter the door, several figures rushed out from inside in a state of agitation.

"Quick, quick, follow me out to welcome Li!"

A middle-aged man in his forties rushed out of the Su Family villa in a hurry.

"Wait, Second Uncle, this is a disciple of Feng; he can cure my grandfather's illness!" Mingyue hurriedly stopped the middle-aged man in front of her.

Su Dahai stopped abruptly, but when he saw Lin Feng's eyes clearly, a look of deep mockery and contempt erupted from the depths of his gaze.

"Ayue, aren't you just being ridiculous?"

"Treating illnesses and saving lives is no child's play. This kid isn't even as old as my son, and even the famous doctors of Jiangbei couldn't cure the Old Master's illness; can he?"

"Move aside, Li will be here soon. Once he arrives, I will immediately have him perform acupuncture on the Old Master!"

A young man beside him also revealed a cold sneer: "Now any Tom, Dick, or Harry can pretend to be a Divine Doctor!"

"Big Sister, no matter how anxious you are, you can't just trust anyone. This kid hasn't even grown his hair out yet; does he know how to treat illnesses?"

"I think he's a swindler nine times out of ten. In these past few days, no fewer than ten swindlers like him have come!"

The person speaking was in his twenties; he was Mingyue's cousin, Su Hao, and standing beside him was a middle-aged beautiful woman.

She was Mingyue's Second Aunt, Chen Yurong. Chen Yurong glanced over and glared coldly at Lin Feng.

"Desperate people will turn to any doctor!"

"Mingyue, it's not that I want to lecture you, but you haven't even investigated this person's background, yet you dare let him treat the Old Master?"

"Someone, throw him out for me!"

Swish, swish, swish—several figures rushed over from the side in a blur, directly surrounding Lin Feng.
