Chapter 93: Dali Duan Dali Duan Zhengchun

"Just based on your mid-second-rate strength, it's really not enough to look at. Can't you bring someone who can fight?" Zi sneered.

"I heard that Dali Duan Dali Duan Zhengchun has the four great generals of fishing, woodcutting, farming, and reading, referring to Chu Chu Wanli, Gu Ducheng, Fu Sigui, and Zhu Danchen. Are you Chu Chu Wanli?" Lin Fan suddenly asked.

"Speak quickly, who exactly are you? You know us so clearly, are you trying to act against the Prince?"

Chu Chu Wanli was shocked and raised the iron rod in his hand to aim at Lin Fan and his group.

"Ruan Ruan Xingzhu, come out and meet me!"

Lin Fan casually slapped Chu Chu Wanli over with a slap. He hated this kind of person who didn't know his own level the most. He didn't even know his own level, and he couldn't even beat Yun Yun Zhonghe, yet he dared to shout at him.

With the addition of Lin Fan's internal energy, his voice reached the Mirror Lake Manor, and soon a woman ran out.

The woman had a beautiful face, wore a light green dress, and a pair of dark, bright eyes that were crystal clear, shining like stars, flowing and turning, extremely flexible, as if her eyes could speak alone. The corners of her mouth hung with a smile, and one could tell at a glance that she was naughty and agile.

Behind her followed a man with a square face, a fierce demeanor, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a solemn appearance of a king. He was naturally the romantic Prince Dali Duan Dali Duan Zhengchun.

Just looking at his face, no one could tell that he was a romantic prince who often lingered in the flowers.

Dali Duan Dali Duan Zhengchun left feelings everywhere, had many lovers, loved one after another, and was definitely not just a romantic and fickle person. When he was alone with a lover, he was truly in love with this lover. It can only be said that this person's feelings were particularly rich, and there was no other explanation.

It is difficult to distinguish whether he is affectionate or promiscuous. Perhaps it is because he even deceived himself?

Behind Dali Duan Dali Duan Zhengchun followed three middle-aged men, who should be the remaining three great generals.

"Who are you, why are you calling me?"

Ruan Ruan Xingzhu knew very well who the person in front of her was and why he came, but she couldn't reveal the diary copy, so she had to pretend not to know Lin Fan.

"My name is Lin Fan. I came here because I want your daughter to see you. Zhu, Zi, take out your longevity locks and show them to her!"

"Brother-in-law, I don't want to show her!" Zi pouted and said.

"Hmm?"

"Alright!"

Zi helplessly handed her and Zhu's longevity locks to Ruan Ruan Xingzhu.

I saw that the longevity locks were cast with: "Stars in the sky, shining brightly, forever brilliant, Chang'an peace; bamboo by the lake, green and lush, reporting peace, much joy."

The "Ruan Xingzhu" characters embedded on it were her name.

"Daughter, you are both my daughters! I didn't expect you to have grown so big. Since I gave you to others to foster, this is the first time I've seen you in so many years. It's mother who let you down!"

Ruan Ruan Xingzhu hugged Zhu and Zi in her arms and burst into tears.

Zhu also shed tears silently, while Zi seemed to have dissatisfaction but was touched, and finally did not forcibly break free from Ruan Ruan Xingzhu's embrace.

"Can I hear you call me mother?"

After a long time, Ruan Ruan Xingzhu looked at Zhu and Zi with anticipation.

"Mother!" Zhu called out softly.

"..."

A-Zi naturally disagreed; she stubbornly pouted and remained silent.

"A-Xing, are they my daughters?" Dali Duan Dali Duan Zhengchun, standing to the side, could not help but ask.

"Who is your daughter? Don't be so conceited!" A-Zi shot Dali Duan Dali Duan Zhengchun a glare before leaping back to Lin Fan's side.

"Yes, Brother Dali Duan, they are both your daughters!" Things having reached this point, Ruan Ruan Xingzhu no longer hid the truth.

With a face full of pride, she introduced A-Zhu and A-Zi to Dali Duan Dali Duan Zhengchun. She felt very proud to have borne two daughters for him.

Dali Duan Dali Duan Zhengchun was also deeply moved; he had never known he had two more daughters.

Lin Fan, meanwhile, frowned to the side. In Jin Yong's original work, the elder daughter, A-Zhu, was "sixteen or seventeen years of age," while the younger, A-Zi, was "only fifteen or sixteen."

Clearly, A-Zhu and A-Zi were not twins; the two were separated by a year or two.

This meant Ruan Ruan Xingzhu had first become pregnant out of wedlock and given birth to A-Zhu, then sent her away, only to give birth to A-Zi a year or two later and send her away as well.

Kang Min, seeking revenge for Dali Duan Dali Duan Zhengchun abandoning her years ago, had deceived Huang Qiao Feng into believing the leader of the conspirators was Dali Duan Dali Duan Zhengchun. This had led to A-Zhu dying in Dali Duan Dali Duan Zhengchun's stead—an act meant to protect both Huang Qiao Feng and Dali Duan Dali Duan Zhengchun.

Yet, just after A-Zhu died, Dali Duan Dali Duan Zhengchun had flirted with the culprit, Kang Min, while fully aware of the truth. That Ruan Ruan Xingzhu could still forgive him upon seeing this was truly excessive. Combining this with the current scene, it seemed Ruan Ruan Xingzhu was a "love-brain."

It was no wonder Dali Duan Dali Duan Zhengchun was so promiscuous; he hadn't seen his other women in over a decade after winning them over, yet he frequently visited Ruan Ruan Xingzhu at Little Mirror Lake. It appeared their affection was the strongest of all.

Lin Fan felt that although Ruan Ruan Xingzhu was beautiful, she was not worth him collecting.

Just as Lin Fan made up his mind not to take Ruan Ruan Xingzhu, she suddenly felt a headache. Dali Duan Dali Duan Zhengchun hurriedly supported her. A moment later, Ruan Ruan Xingzhu's diary copy and all related memories were completely erased, and she returned to normal.

Every heroine who possessed a diary copy was shocked upon discovering Ruan Ruan Xingzhu had lost hers, and a sense of crisis took root in their hearts.

This was because the diary copy prompted them that this time, it was Lin Fan who had actively severed all possibilities with Ruan Ruan Xingzhu, leading to her losing the copy.

This showed that the choice between them and Lin Fan was mutual; they could choose to abandon Lin Fan, and Lin Fan could also abandon them.

However, even those heroines who had no feelings for Lin Fan did not want to discard their diary copies, as they could now not only learn of secret rumors in the Wu Lin but also receive rewards from the copies. Thus, none of them wanted to miss out.

"Sister, that little thief Lin Fan wouldn't abandon me, would he?" Yaoyue suddenly asked, worried.

"Young Master Lin's wish is to collect the beauties of the Wu Lin. He is screening those who already have partners, but he hasn't let a single one go who is unattached. You are the Great Palace Master of the Moving Flower Palace; any man would take conquering you as his goal, so there is no need for you to worry, Sister!"

Lianxing felt like laughing; since when had the dignified and overbearing Yaoyue become so insecure?

"What are you babbling about? I just don't want to lose the diary copy and the chance to obtain rewards!"

Yaoyue realized she had overreacted. Would her sister notice anything?

Ning Zhongze looked at the Evil-Warding Sword Manual beside her with a complex expression. This sword technique was indeed bizarre and extraordinary, filled with a sinister aura, but the opening line—"To practice this art, one must first castrate oneself"—was something no one could bear.

Zuo Zuo Lengchan was eyeing them like a tiger. Unless she produced the Evil-Warding Sword Manual for her senior brother to practice, he would be no match for Zuo Zuo Lengchan at all. But she couldn't possibly let her senior brother cut himself, could she?

Then the heavy responsibility of saving the Mount Hua Sect rested on her shoulders. She absolutely could not be abandoned by Lin Fan; she even needed him to mention her more often. If he rewarded her with a divine art or a heavenly treasure to increase internal energy next time, wouldn't the crisis of the Mount Hua Sect be easily resolved?
