To be honest, even if Lin Zhengxiong nodded, Lin Zhilan would not agree to be with Jiang Hao.
He knows his daughter's character very well.
Apart from kendo, there is nothing else I care about.
Letting Lin Zhilan become someone else's wife... is simply impossible.
Furthermore, Lin Zhilan is still practicing the swordsmanship passed down to her by Fang Yu.
Lin Zhengxiong knew that since Fang Yu taught Lin Zhilan sword skills... then she was equivalent to Fang Yu's disciple.
Under such circumstances, this marriage cannot be agreed to at all costs.
But……
The Jiang family is going strong today, looking like they won't give up until they succeed.
How to deal with it?
Thinking of this, Lin Zhengxiong sighed again.
By his generation, the Lin family was really in decline.
The old and the young are changing, and the young and the old are no longer connected.
Before the spiritual energy was revived, he was still ranked second among the eight aristocratic families. In fact, it was because of his past foundation.
In fact, the Lin family was in rapid decline at that time.
The outside world ranks the Lin family second, but in fact... the Lin family may not be much stronger than the bottom four.
If Fang Yu hadn't appeared, the Lin family's situation would have been even worse.
But now, with the revival of spiritual energy... the current weakness of the Lin family has been completely exposed.
Many middle-class or even middle-lower families in the past have taken advantage of the revival of spiritual energy to leap forward and receive huge improvements.
But the Lin family's promotion... is quite average.
Among the younger generation, except for Lin Zhenxu and Lin Zhilan, the talents of others are too average.
The increase in their strength could not keep up with the pace of spiritual energy recovery.
The Lin family could only watch helplessly as many aristocratic families that were far inferior to themselves quickly surpassed themselves, but there was nothing they could do.
Recently, Lin Zhenxu broke through the integration stage, which actually gave Lin Zhengxiong some inner comfort.
But the Jiang family came to the door and gave the Lin family a blow.
Jiang Hao, whom they brought to propose marriage, is currently second on the Heavenly Ranking, and his cultivation has reached the peak of the integration stage.
This is the most obvious contrast.
Lin Zhenxu, the first genius of the Lin family, has just entered the integration stage.
And Jiang Hao from the Jiang family is younger than Lin Zhenxu, but he has reached the peak of the integration stage.
"well……"
The more Lin Zhengxiong thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and he sighed secretly.
In this current situation, the only one who can help them is Fang Yu.
However, Fang Yu has not appeared for a long time, and besides... Fang Yu has helped the Lin family a lot before.
The Lin family really can't go to Fang Yu for everything.
A strong man of Fang Yu's level must be very impatient with the affairs of these aristocratic families...
"Brother Lin, how are you thinking?" Jiang Gaohe asked with a smile.
He is the current head of the Jiang family and Jiang Hao's father.
"Well..." Lin Zhengxiong was thinking about his words and wanted to refuse.
"Brother Lin, our Jiang Hao is now second on the list, he must be worthy of Zhi Lan, right?" Before Lin Zhengxiong could speak, Jiang Gaohe suddenly said.
Lin Zhengxiong's face changed slightly.
Jiang Gaohe turned to look at Lin Zhilan again and said, "Zhilan, you should have noticed Jiang Hao's affection for you very early, right? I think you two are really well matched."
With that said, Jiang Gaohe glanced at Jiang Hao again.
When Jiang Hao caught his eye, he immediately stood up, walked to Lin Zhilan, and knelt down on one knee.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of everyone in the Lin family changed.
He took out a small box from his pocket and presented it in front of Lin Zhilan.
"It is inevitable. This is the secular way of proposing." Jiang Hao said with a smile on his handsome face, "Zhi Lan, I really like you. If you marry me..."
The content of what Jiang Hao said was very disgusting.
In fact, the relationship between the Lin family and the Jiang family was indeed good in the past, but Lin Zhilan and Jiang Hao... were not very familiar, and they had only met a few times.
But what Jiang Hao said was as if he and Lin Zhilan had known each other for a long time and were very familiar with each other.
"Zhilan, I will definitely make you happy..." Jiang Hao opened the box in his hand, and inside was a ring inlaid with gems.
The gems on the ring glow with colorful light.
"This is the Five Elements Ring given to me by our ancestor of the Jiang family. This is a top-notch magical weapon." Jiang Hao said, "The ancestor gave it to me... and I will give it to you."
Lin Zhilan always lowered her head and said nothing.
Lin Zhengxiong was extremely anxious at this time.
He knew Lin Zhilan's character very well.
I can still remain still now, showing great restraint.
"Master Jiang, I think this matter is..." Lin Zhengxiong said.
Jiang Gaohe directly raised his hand and said: "Master Lin, this is a matter between young people, let them handle it by themselves."
When he said this, a hint of success flashed in Jiang Gaohe's eyes.
Lin Zhengxiong caught this glance and his heart sank.
He suddenly understood the Jiang family’s intentions today!
At this moment, Jiang Hao below had placed the ring directly in front of Lin Zhilan.
Lin Zhilan frowned, but her tone was still calm and she said, "I won't accept it."
"Zhilan, give me a chance, and I will prove my love for you..." Jiang Hao said, and stretched the ring further forward, almost touching Lin Zhilan's face.
"I don't accept it." Lin Zhilan moved her head back a little and said coldly.
"Zhilan, I..." Jiang Hao stretched out his left hand, as if he wanted to touch Lin Zhilan's cheek.
"Snapped!"
At this time, Lin Zhenxu stood up suddenly, slapped the ring out of Jiang Hao's hand, and then grabbed Jiang Hao's other hand.
"Jiang Hao, what are you doing?" Lin Zhenxu asked with extremely cold eyes.
At this moment, Jiang Hao's expression changed and he stood up.
The seven Jiang family members sitting opposite also stood up suddenly, their expressions cold.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The faces of the Lin family present were full of anger.
Lin Zhengxiong, on the other hand, glanced at Jiang Gaohe next to him, his face extremely gloomy!
This is the true purpose of the Jiang family.
Use the topic to your advantage!
The first is to test the tolerance of the Lin family, and the second is to anger the Lin family... and then have a head-on collision.
They are confident that the Jiang family is stronger than the Lin family. Therefore, as long as there is a conflict...the winner must be their Jiang family!
Once they win a head-on collision, the Lin family will no longer have any resistance and can only be ravaged by the Jiang family.
As for Lin Zhilan...it will be impossible to refuse the marriage at that time.
"Brother Lin, our Jiang family has come to propose marriage. You can refuse, so why do you do it?" Jiang Gaohe said with gloomy eyes.
"Jiang Gaohe, you..." Lin Zhengxiong said with an ugly face.
"It seems that your Lin family is used to being aloof, or you still look down on our Jiang family..." Jiang Gaohe said slowly, "Since you don't give us face, today... we will let you, the Lin family, recognize the reality!"
"boom!"
Jiang Gaohe slammed the table and stood up.
As for the rest of the Jiang family, their cultivation auras exploded.
They really want to take action!
The Lin family members present were both angry and worried.
The realm and strength of the nine people sent by the Jiang family have completely surpassed anyone from the Lin family!
They can't fight it!
Once a fight breaks out, the only outcome is defeat!
"By the way, I remember that your Lin family hugged a thigh... Go and invite Fang Yu!" Jiang Gaohe laughed.
Lin Zhengxiong clenched his fists and stared at Jiang Gaohe.
"We can't invite Fang Yu, right? I've already investigated it, and Fang Yu hasn't shown his face for four months! I'm afraid he's seriously injured and has passed away, right?" Jiang Gaohe laughed and said, "This is offending.
The consequences of too many people!”
"Without this thigh hug, who are you, the Lin family? How dare you attack my son!?"
Jiang Gaohe's momentum was extremely arrogant.
In fact, when the Wang family collapsed before, it was rumored that Fang Yu, who was seriously injured, was responsible... He knew it.
But in the past three months, Fang Yu has indeed not appeared.
This is one point.
The second point is because Jiang Gaohe brought a magical weapon.
A magic weapon given to him by his ancestor!
Once this magical weapon is activated, its power can instantly cover the entire Lin family.
Everyone in the Lin family will be controlled and all contact with the outside world will be cut off.
Even if Fang Yu is really alive and able to rescue him, these Lin family members will not be able to send out a distress message!
As long as that magic weapon is used...all the Lin family members will have no power to fight back and will be left to his own devices!
The Lin family will become affiliated with the Jiang family without Fang Yu's knowledge.
