Chapter 453: Lin Tiannan

"Father, are you alright?"

Lin Yueru hurriedly ran toward Lin Tiannan, and Lin Fan did not stop her.

"I'm fine. May I ask who you are, young master?"

Lin Tiannan waved his hand at Lin Yueru and then looked at Lin Fan.

"Just call me Lin Fan."

"Lin Fan? Lin, Lin is good. Lin Fan, you were rude to my daughter in public earlier, and just now you held her waist, ruining her reputation. Therefore, you must marry her as your wife!"

"Father!"

Hearing Lin Tiannan's words, Lin Yueru stomped her feet in embarrassment, but then secretly glanced at Lin Fan, wanting to know what he would say.

"I already have a wife!"

Lin Fan said to Lin Tiannan while holding Zhao Zhao Linger's hand.

"Then divorce her and marry my daughter!"

Lin Tiannan proposed a solution without hesitation. Zhao Zhao Linger's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

"You are already a loser at my hands, and you still want to order me around?"

Lin Fan gently squeezed Zhao Zhao Linger's hand to signal her not to worry, then spoke to Lin Tiannan with a playful expression.

"My sworn brother is the Sword Saint of Shushan!"

"Even if your father were Li Gang, it wouldn't matter. You let Yin Yin Ruozhuo come and try; see if I don't beat him until he's looking for his teeth on the floor. After I finish with Nanzhao, my next stop will be Shushan to meet the Sword Saint."

Lin Tiannan hadn't expected that after finally finding a satisfactory son-in-law, and with his daughter seemingly interested in him, he would be unable to beat him and thus unable to force him to marry his daughter. It was truly frustrating, so he could only helplessly bring up his sworn brother to scare Lin Fan.

He didn't expect Lin Fan to be completely unfazed upon hearing the Sword Saint's name, and judging by his tone, he was even preparing to go to Shushan to teach the Sword Saint a lesson.

"Then what do you intend to do? Just take advantage of my daughter and not take responsibility?"

If the hard way doesn't work, try the soft way. He, Lin Tiannan, the Southern Wu Lin Alliance Master, is a man who can bend and stretch!

"Brother Lin Fan can marry her; we will be sisters, with no distinction between senior and junior!"

Zhao Zhao Linger suddenly spoke up.

Anyway, there were already so many sisters in the small world, so Zhao Zhao Linger didn't mind adding one more. After all, Lin Fan had indeed taken advantage of Lin Yueru.

"Yueru, what do you think?"

Although Lin Tiannan was reluctant, he had no other choice. Who told him he couldn't beat Lin Fan and could do nothing about him?

"Everything is up to Father!"

Lin Yueru lowered her head and tapped the ground with her toe, acting like a young girl. This was the first time Lin Tiannan had seen his daughter, who usually acted like a tomboy, be so feminine. It seems love truly does change people.

"Since that's the case, I will choose an auspicious day and invite the fellow members of the Jianghu to celebrate your wedding!"

Lin Tiannan was deeply comforted; he had finally found a desirable husband for his daughter.

"Don't go through all that trouble. I don't have that much time; I still have to take Zhao Linger to Nanzhao!"

"You!"

Lin Tiannan, however, did not expect his good intentions to be directly rejected by Lin Fan.

"Father, let me accompany them to Nanzhao first. We can talk about the wedding when we return. Since the marriage is already decided, it's not bad to cultivate our relationship before the wedding!"

Seeing that Lin Tiannan was about to get angry, Lin Yueru hurriedly spoke up to persuade him.

"That will have to do. Your understanding of each other is still lacking, after all. It's better to wait until your feelings are deeper before getting married!"

Seeing his daughter offer him a way out, Lin Tiannan went along with it. After all, he really couldn't do anything about Lin Fan; what else could he do if he didn't agree?

"Lin Fan, this is fine, right? You have no more excuses, do you?"

Seeing Lin Tiannan agree, Lin Yueru said to Lin Fan with a beaming smile.

"Since you've both said so, what else can I say? Naturally, it's fine."

"Good. I see it's almost noon. Lin Fan, why don't you bring Miss Zhao Linger here to have a simple meal at my Lin Family Fort!"

Seeing that Lin Fan was no longer making excuses, Lin Tiannan breathed a sigh of relief and then warmly invited Lin Fan to be a guest at the Lin Family Fort.

"Let's go!"

Lin Fan nodded and, holding Zhao Zhao Linger's hand, followed Lin Tiannan toward the Lin Family Fort. As for Lin Yueru, she ran to Lin Fan's other side and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with him.

"Lin Fan, what martial art did you use when you fought my father earlier? It had such presence; it felt much more powerful than my family's Seven-Verse Sword Qi!"

"That's called the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. Some gifted experts can turn decay into magic, using ordinary moves to display incomparable power. You think your family's Seven-Verse Sword Qi isn't powerful? Watch!"

Lin Fan used his hand as a sword to execute the Seven-Verse Sword Qi. The massive sword qi soared straight into the clouds, and the thick clouds in the sky were swept away by this single strike.

"Lin Fan, you mastered the Seven-Verse Sword Qi just by watching my father perform it once?"

Lin Yueru looked at Lin Fan in surprise; this was truly beyond her expectations.

"Is it difficult?"

Lin Fan didn't care. The Seven-Verse Sword Qi wasn't some profound magic technique, and his comprehension was already maxed out, so naturally, he learned it at a glance.

"It's difficult! I've studied it for over ten years and still don't perform it as well as you did after one look!"

Lin Yueru curled her lip. Comparing people is infuriating; why is Lin Fan's talent so high?

"Cousin, Aunt!"

The four of them had just walked into the Lin Family Fort when they were stopped by a male voice.

"Liu Jinyuan, it's you. You're so busy, how do you have time to come to my Lin Family Fort?"

"Cou, Cousin!"

Lin Tiannan greeted Liu Liu Jinyuan warmly. Lin Yueru, however, felt somewhat awkward because she had learned from Lin Fan's diary copy that Liu Liu Jinyuan liked her, so she didn't know how to face him.

In all honesty, she had quite a good impression of Liu Liu Jinyuan; after all, he was gentle as jade and had always cared for her, being completely obedient to her. But she truly only viewed Liu Liu Jinyuan as a brother. This sudden change in their familial relationship was something she couldn't quite accept.

"Cousin, eh? Young master, young lady, it's you two? You know my cousin too?"

Seeing Lin Yueru, Liu Liu Jinyuan couldn't help but smile. Then, his gaze shifted, and he discovered Lin Fan and Zhao Zhao Linger standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Lin Yueru, so he asked curiously.

"This is Young Master Lin Fan and his wife, Zhao Zhao Linger. I have already betrothed Yueru to Lin Fan!"

"So that's how it is. Hmm? Aunt, you said you betrothed Cousin to Young Master Lin, but doesn't he already have a wife?"

Hearing Lin Tiannan's introduction, Liu Liu Jinyuan nodded at first, but after realizing what was said, he looked at Lin Tiannan in disbelief.

"That's right, but as long as a man has the ability, having three wives and four concubines is not out of the question!"

Lin Tiannan knew Liu Liu Jinyuan liked Lin Yueru, but not only did Lin Yueru not like the powerless Liu Liu Jinyuan, he himself didn't think highly of Liu Liu Jinyuan either.

Firstly, as a member of the Wu Lin, and even the Southern Wu Lin Alliance Master, he was naturally allergic to imperial power and didn't want to get involved with the imperial court. Secondly, he hoped his son-in-law could inherit the Lin Family Fort's Jianghu influence, and Liu Liu Jinyuan undoubtedly lacked this ability.

So, previously, Lin Yueru didn't know Liu Liu Jinyuan's feelings, while Lin Tiannan knew them but deliberately didn't mention them because he didn't want Liu Liu Jinyuan as his son-in-law.
