Chapter 1194: Confident and Fearless
To be honest, even if Lin Zhengxiong nodded, Lin Zhilan would not agree to be with Jiang Hao.
He knew his daughter's character very well.
Apart from the sword, there was nothing else she cared about.
It was impossible to let Lin Zhilan become someone else's wife.
Besides, Lin Zhilan was still practicing the swordsmanship that Fang Yu had passed on to her.
Lin Zhengxiong knew that since Fang Yu had passed on the swordsmanship to Lin Zhilan... then she was equivalent to Fang Yu's disciple.
In this case, this marriage could not be agreed to.
But...
The Jiang family came today with a fierce momentum, as if they would not give up until they succeeded.
How to deal with it?
Thinking of this, Lin Zhengxiong sighed again in his heart.
The Lin family had really declined by his generation.
The old and the young were replaced, and there was a lack of successors.
Before the revival of spiritual energy, it could still rank second among the eight great families, but in fact it still relied on the previous foundation.
In fact, the Lin family was in a state of rapid decline at that time.
The outside world ranks the Lin family second, but in fact... the strength of the Lin family may not be much stronger than the four families ranked last.
If Fang Yu hadn't appeared, the situation of the Lin family would have been even worse.
And now, with the revival of spiritual energy... the weakness of the Lin family at this stage is completely exposed.
Many families that used to be middle-class, or even lower-middle-class, have taken advantage of the revival of spiritual energy to leap up and get a huge improvement.
But the improvement of the Lin family... is quite ordinary.
Among the younger generation, except for Lin Zhenxu and Lin Zhilan, the talents of others are too ordinary.
The improvement of their strength can't keep up with the pace of spiritual energy revival.
The Lin family can only watch many families that were far inferior to them before quickly surpass themselves, but they can't do anything about it.
Recently, Lin Zhenxu broke through the fusion stage, which gave Lin Zhengxiong some comfort.
But the Jiang family came to the door and gave the Lin family a warning.
Jiang Hao, who they brought to propose marriage, is currently second on the Tianbang and has reached the peak of the fusion stage.
This is the most obvious comparison.
Lin Zhenxu, the first prodigy of the Lin family, has just entered the fusion stage.
And Jiang Hao of the Jiang family is younger than Lin Zhenxu, but has reached the peak of the fusion stage.
"Alas..."
Lin Zhengxiong felt more and more uncomfortable the more he thought about it, and sighed secretly.
In this situation, the only one who can help them is Fang Yu.
However, Fang Yu has not appeared for a long time, and... Fang Yu has helped their Lin family a lot before.
They, 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 these family affairs...
"Brother Lin, what do you think about it?" Jiang Gaohe asked with a smile.
He is the current head of the Jiang family and Jiang Hao's father.
"Well..." Lin Zhengxiong was brewing words and wanted to refuse.
"Brother Lin, our Jiang Hao is now the second on the list, he must be worthy of Zhilan, right?" Jiang Gaohe suddenly spoke before Lin Zhengxiong could speak.
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 feelings for you a long time ago, right? I think you two are really a good match."
As he said that, Jiang Gaohe glanced at Jiang Hao again.
Jiang Hao immediately stood up when he saw her eyes, walked to Lin Zhilan, and knelt on one knee.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the Lin family changed their faces.
He took out a small box from his pocket and presented it to Lin Zhilan.
"It's no exception. This is the way of proposing in the secular world." Jiang Hao smiled on his handsome face and said, "Zhilan, I really like you. If you marry me..."
Jiang Hao's words were very corny.
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 with each other. At most, they had 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 gemstone on the ring glowed with colorful light.
"This is the Five Elements Ring given to me by our Jiang family ancestor. It is a top-level magic weapon." Jiang Hao said, "The ancestor gave it to me... and I will give it to you."
Lin Zhilan kept her head down and said nothing.
Lin Zhengxiong was extremely anxious at this time.
He knew Lin Zhilan's character very well.
He was very restrained to be able to remain still now.
"Master Jiang, I think this matter is still..." Lin Zhengxiong said.
Jiang Gaohe raised his hand directly and said, "Master Lin, this is a matter between young people, let them handle it themselves."
When he said this, a trace of success flashed in Jiang Gaohe's eyes.
Lin Zhengxiong caught this trace of eyes and his heart sank.
He suddenly understood the intention of the Jiang family today!
At this moment, Jiang Hao below had already 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, I will prove my love for you..." Jiang Hao said, and stretched the ring forward a little, 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.
"Pah!"
At this time, Lin Zhenxu stood up suddenly, slapped the ring in Jiang Hao's hand away, and grabbed Jiang Hao's other hand.
"Jiang Hao, what are you doing?" Lin Zhenxu asked with an extremely cold look.
At this moment, Jiang Hao's face changed and he stood up.
The seven Jiang family members sitting opposite also stood up suddenly with cold expressions.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The faces of the Lin family members present were full of anger.
And Lin Zhengxiong glanced at Jiang Gaohe next to him, his face was extremely gloomy!
This is the real purpose of the Jiang family.
Take advantage of the topic!
One is to test the tolerance of the Lin family, and the other 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, so as long as there is a conflict... the winner must be their Jiang family!
Once they win the head-on collision, the Lin family will no longer have any resistance and can only let them be ravaged by the Jiang family.
As for Lin Zhilan... it would be impossible for her to refuse the marriage at that time.
"Brother Lin, our Jiang family has proposed a marriage, you can refuse, why did you fight?" Jiang Gaohe said with a gloomy look in his eyes.
"Jiang Gaohe, you..." Lin Zhengxiong said with an ugly face.
"It seems that your Lin family is used to the high and mighty attitude, or looks down on our Jiang family..." Jiang Gaohe said slowly, "Since you don't give us face, then today... we will let your Lin family face the reality!"
"Bang!"
Jiang Gaohe slammed the table and stood up.
The rest of the Jiang family members burst out with their cultivation aura.
They really want to fight!
The Lin family members present were both angry and worried.
The nine people sent by the Jiang family have already surpassed any one of their Lin family in terms of realm and strength!
They can't fight!
Once they fight, the result will only be defeat!
"By the way, I remember that your Lin family has embraced a thigh... Go and invite Fang Yu!" Jiang Gaohe laughed.
Lin Zhengxiong clenched his fists and stared at Jiang Gaohe.
"You can't invite Fang Yu, right? I've already investigated. Fang Yu hasn't shown up for four months! I'm afraid he's seriously injured and dead, right?" Jiang Gaohe laughed, "This is the consequence of offending too many people!"
"Without this big thigh, what are you Lin family? How dare you attack my son!?"
Jiang Gaohe was extremely arrogant.
In fact, the previous collapse of the Wang family was rumored to be caused by the seriously injured Fang Yu... He knew it.
But Fang Yu has not appeared in the past three months.
This is one point.
The second point is because Jiang Gaohe brought a magic weapon.
A magic weapon given to him by the ancestor!
Once this magic weapon is activated, its power can instantly cover the entire Lin family.
Everyone in the Lin family will be controlled and cut off from all external contacts.
Even if Fang Yu is really still alive and can help, this group of Lin family members cannot send a distress message!
As long as he activates that magic weapon... all the Lin family members will be powerless to fight back and will be bullied by him!
The Lin family will become the Jiang family's subordinates without Fang Yu knowing.
After that, if Fang Yu comes to them...
