Chapter 92 - The Tale Of Lin Feilin (2/2)

Yan Zaizen now understood why she was so relieved that the Soaring Cloud Sect was eliminated. Similar to Shin Xuanji, Lin Feilin suffered a similar situation at the hands of the Soaring Cloud Sect. Truly, the cultivation world was cruel and vicious. Without strength or proper backing, it's highly likely your end will come swiftly. As for why the Yan Clan was capable of surviving for nearly a thousand years, that was due to Meteorite City and the Soaring Cloud Sect's support.

Meteorite City was far away from any external enemies and was the local hegemon for hundreds of years with no one capable of usurping their position. They seemed to also have been decisive in eliminating all of their internal enemies thoroughly. Unfortunately, it seems that Shin Xuanji survived. Not to mention, their downfall was caused by the hubris of Yan Jinzen and the Soaring Cloud Sect.

”The cultivation world truly is vicious. A single mistake is all it takes…” He couldn't help but silently whisper to himself.

”A portion of my clan members survived and took shelter under the Water Veil Sect. The females were inducted as older disciples and outer elders, while the males were sent elsewhere. It was how the Lin Family survived. Of my direct family line, only my aunt is alive. As for me, I've been invited as an Inner Disciple of the Water Veil Sect.” Lin Feilin's life story wasn't overly complicated and aligned with the truth that was the cruelty of cultivation - the strong prevailed.

She was fortunate enough to survive and become an inner court disciple of the Water Veil Sect despite her age. To most, this would be a blessing. However, when she said it, it didn't feel like one.

”Is that it?” Yan Zaizen asked, feeling as if an important piece of her story was missing. For example, why she was outside of the Water Veil Sect with her aunt despite being an Inner Disciple. Shouldn't she try to cultivate her best for revenge against the Soaring Cloud Sect?

Lin Feilin eyes turned icy-cold and her expression gradually turned indifferent. ”I agreed to an engagement with another.”

What?!

Yan Zaizen couldn't help but feel inwardly shocked and also a little saddened at this. For some odd inexplicable reason, he felt a little frustrated. However, this frustration was fleeting and unstable as if it was barely there.

”Six months ago, I agreed to marry a man by the name of Khan Saiyu. He's the direct descendant of a Grand Elder in the Earthly Titan Sect. The reason…” She looked as if she wanted to continue, but now she felt a little lost. The reason was obvious: Revenge for Han Genji and the Lin Clan.

However, now what?

Everything has already been cleared up before she even knew what to do. However, the marriage was set for a month from now. Her leaving the sect's grounds was so that she could clear her thoughts and ready herself mentally for the sacrifice. But was there a reason to do so anymore?

Shockingly, when Yan Zaizen heard her and knew of the implications, he couldn't help but chuckle loudly. It drew the attention of Tao, Bai Lufeng, and Lin Qinlin. He loudly asked, his voice filled with tyrannical ferocity, ”Do you want to get married to this man?!”

Despite being shocked, as if instinctively, she shook her head softly. When Lin Qinlin saw this, her expression instantly turned somber. Her refusal after her previous acceptance could have severe repercussions for the entire Lin Family within the Water Veil Sect. Their status wasn't high, their strength wasn't great, and the Earthly Titan Sect and Water Veil Sect had a deep connection that no one knew until their alliance.

However, how could Yan Zaizen care even if he knew any of this?

”Then fine!” He thundered, ”As your Ninth Brother, how could I let you marry unwillingly? If you say yes, then heavens better not say no. If you say no, I dare anyone in this entire country to say otherwise!” His voice was filled with rambunctious laughter. His expression reverted back to his previously practiced heroic expression, but this time, with his handsome features and tall stature, he truly looked like a hero described in books.

”Let's annul this engagement! Are you willing?” He turned towards Lin Feilin and reached out his hand to her. His eyes filled with unyielding confidence and warmth. For some inexplicable reason, she felt that as long as she grabbed his hand, the world itself would have to make way. It filled her with confidence. She looked at Lin Qinlin's dark expression filled with shock and surprise, and couldn't help but nod inwardly.

She grabbed his hand with gusto.

”Haha! I am!” Her icy-cold voice and indifferent expression melted away, filled with an infectiously mesmerizing smile and warm happiness.
