Chapter 146: Duan Zhengchun 2

Sister Azhu and Azi looked at Lin Fan with complex expressions. With Lin Fan giving up on Ruan Xingzhu, should they be happy or sad?

As for Li Qingluo, she smiled with satisfaction. Ruan Xingzhu, oh Ruan Xingzhu, isn't he just Duan Zhengchun? I'll leave him to you; I already have someone better.

Lin Fan was younger, more handsome, had more charisma, and was more powerful than Duan Zhengchun. How could Duan Zhengchun compare to Lin Fan?

Although Ruan Xingzhu had lost the memories related to the diary, what happened today had nothing to do with the diary copy. Her two daughters had actually shown up at her door at the same time; she was overjoyed, so she spoke to Sister Azhu and Azi with great excitement, asking after their well-being.

Sister Azhu responded in a low voice from time to time, but Azi ignored her completely, as if she were a total stranger.

"Sister Azhu, could you call me Father?"

Duan Zhengchun observed for a while and found that Sister Azhu was much easier to talk to than Azi, so he hesitated and made the request to Sister Azhu.

Unfortunately, his request was too abrupt. Through Lin Fan's diary, Sister Azhu had learned that Duan Zhengchun was promiscuous; every time he toyed with a woman's feelings, he would disappear, completely disregarding whether they lived or died.

And the women who had relations with him had basically all borne him a child, yet he didn't know about a single one. This showed how unreliable and irresponsible he was, making it hard for anyone to have a good impression of him.

So Sister Azhu did not pay him any mind, but continued talking to Ruan Xingzhu on her own. This made Duan Zhengchun feel somewhat awkward and helpless, but he had brought this upon himself—who could he blame?

"Alright, Mother, the Young Master and I still have things to attend to; we must leave!"

Half an hour later, Sister Azhu bid farewell to Ruan Xingzhu, preparing to leave. She knew Lin Fan had things to do, so she didn't want to delay him for too long.

"What? You just arrived and you're leaving already? That won't do; Mother can't bear to part with you!"

Ruan Xingzhu hadn't expected that after their reunion, her daughters would be leaving again after only half an hour. She was extremely reluctant to let these three go.

"Greetings, Young Master. May I ask how to address you?" At this moment, Duan Zhengchun suddenly bowed and greeted Lin Fan.

"Lin Fan!"

"So it is Young Master Lin. I wonder why my daughter would address you as Young Master? Could it be that she signed a deed of servitude with your esteemed residence? If that is the case, I am willing to pay to redeem my daughter. Would that be possible?"

Duan Zhengchun felt sorry for his daughters, so he wanted to make it up to them as much as he could, but he didn't know where to start. Suddenly hearing Sister Azhu call Lin Fan "Young Master," his eyes lit up, and he thought of an idea.

That was to redeem his daughter. Sister Azhu must have suffered a lot living under someone else's roof as a servant all these years. He should let her return to his side and let her live a life as superior as a princess.

"Sister Azhu did not enter my Lin Fu by selling herself; she is here of her own volition. Besides, if you want to redeem her, why don't you listen to whether Sister Azhu is willing?"

"I am not willing; I want to follow the Young Master for the rest of my life!" Sister Azhu blurted out without a second thought.

"It seems Sister Azhu is unwilling to accept Prince Duan's kindness, so I am afraid I cannot help you!" Lin Fan said indifferently.

"But Young Master Lin, I wonder if you could let Sister Azhu and Azi stay for a few more days? I really cannot bear to part with them!" Ruan Xingzhu looked at Lin Fan imploringly upon hearing this.

"Sister Azhu, Azi, what do you say?"

"I am not willing; I want to be with my brother-in-law!" Azi refused without hesitation.

"I cannot stay either; I must follow the Young Master!" Sister Azhu hesitated for a moment, but still shook her head and refused.

Ruan Xingzhu and Duan Zhengchun were stunned. It was one thing for Azi to refuse—her attitude showed her resistance toward the two of them—but they hadn't expected that even the gentle Sister Azhu would refuse them.

"Since that is the case, let us leave now!"

Lin Fan nodded slightly and didn't say much more. If Sister Azhu and Azi didn't want to stay, so be it.

"Qingluo, is that you? Why are you here too?" At this moment, Duan Zhengchun finally noticed Li Qingluo.

"Why can't I be here? I came here following Young Master Lin!"

Li Qingluo deliberately emphasized the word "following." As a veteran in the world of romance, how could Duan Zhengchun not understand Li Qingluo's meaning?

"You!"

Duan Zhengchun was somewhat angry; he hadn't expected Li Qingluo to be robbing the cradle.

Moreover, he heard Azi call Lin Fan "brother-in-law." Clearly, Sister Azhu was not only Lin Fan's maid but also his concubine. How could this be?

"Enough, stop the nonsense, let's go!"

Lin Fan had no intention of wasting words with Duan Zhengchun, so he turned and left.

Seeing this, Azi hurriedly followed, and the other women followed as well, Sister Azhu included.

"Sister Azhu! Azi!" Ruan Xingzhu shouted from behind.

"Mother, take care of yourself. When I have time, I will bring Azi back to see you!"

Sister Azhu only wanted to know how her parents were doing. Seeing that they were both well, she felt relieved.

After the group moved far away from Mirror Lake, Lin Fan took them into his portable space, then headed toward Mount Leigu, one man and one horse.

He wondered if the Dragon-Sealing Chess Game had started yet, and who had already arrived on Mount Leigu.

Upon reaching the foot of Mount Leigu, Lin Fan released the women and let them follow him up the mountain.

"Brother Fan, does the invitation say the Dragon-Sealing Chess Game is today?" Huang Rong asked, holding Lin Fan's arm.

"Yes, I just don't know who has come. I hope to see someone carrying a divine sword today!" Lin Fan was also somewhat expectant.

"Is the Young Master planning to rob someone?" Zhu Abi asked in a soft voice.

"That's right, the Young Master is going to play the part of a great bandit today and snatch a divine weapon to use!"

Lin Fan pinched Zhu Abi's delicate face a few times, causing her face to flush red and her pretty eyes to brim with spring, then he laughed heartily and headed up the mountain.

"The Young Master is truly bad!" Zhu Abi pouted and stamped her foot.

By the time Lin Fan brought the women to the summit of Mount Leigu, he discovered they had indeed arrived late; many people were already at the summit.

It was just that most of the people here were just making up the numbers; many hadn't even received an invitation, but had just heard there was excitement to watch and had gathered here.

"Young Master, it's so lively, just like a market!" Lv He said with some surprise.

"I don't see anyone I know!"

Lin Fan was slightly disappointed. Looking at the scrap metal in the hands of this bunch of people, he couldn't even be bothered to take a second look.

"Hm? Yue Buqun is here too!"

Lin Fan searched the crowd for acquaintances and unexpectedly discovered the Huashan Sect group.

"Brother Fan, little Feiyan is here too!" Huang Rong pointed excitedly at Qu Yang and his granddaughter in a corner.

"That's Duan Yu; I didn't expect him to be able to run so far!" Sister Azhu discovered Duan Yu in the crowd.

"Everyone, welcome to participate in this Dragon-Sealing Chess Game. I wonder which young talent is willing to set an example and play a game with my master, Mr. Congbian?"

Xue Muhua walked out and said to the crowd.

The people present looked at each other; most of them were illiterate and had just come to join in the fun. No one dared to go up and embarrass themselves.

"Then let me go first; I'll make a fool of myself!" Seeing that no one dared to go up, Duan Yu volunteered and walked up. ===== CHAPTER 148 =====
