Chapter 524: Heartless Conditions

Lin Feng was coldly staring at Duan Wu Ya.

It was all about face, the Imperial City Clan only cared about their own prestige, they didn’t care about Xin Ye.

“I would like to ask you, if I hadn’t saved Xin Ye, what would have happened?” Asked Lin Feng in an ice-cold tone which surprised Duan Wu Ya. She would have died, or even if somebody else had saved her, the humiliation would have been the same, they would either lose face or lose the princess.

“Shouldn’t you go and find out who really gave the poison to her instead of groundlessly accusing me? Besides, attaching importance to a concept such as face is useless, you can’t change what happened. Do you think that if you kill me, you will regain the prestige you lost? Have you thought about Xin Ye?” Shouted Lin Feng furiously. Duan Wu Ya couldn’t refute Lin Feng’s words.

“What you mean is that we should let you off that easily?” Said Yue Tian Ming.

“Shut the hell up.” Shouted Lin Feng. He then added: “You have nothing to say here! Nobody gives a shit about your crappy marriage agreement! I’ve already told you, Xin Ye is mine. Even if the incident of yesterday evening had never happened, she would have still remained mine and only mine!”

Yue Tian Ming pulled a long face, he hated Lin Feng, he hated him so much! And Lin Feng wasn’t even giving him face.

Besides, for Yue Tian Ming, it was more embarrassing that his own grandfather, Yue Qing Shan had told him to stop blocking Lin Feng. He didn’t want him to directly oppose Lin Feng.

His grandfather, by doing that, had implied that Yue Tian Ming wasn’t a match for Lin Feng.

When Duan Wu Ya heard Lin Feng’s aggressive tone of speech, he remained silent for a long time and then said: “How do you want to solve the problem then?”

“What do you think? Do you have any ideas?” Asked Lin Feng. Duan Wu Ya probably already had an idea.

“I want you to marry Xin Ye immediately and tell everyone. That is the only solution which will regain our prestige.” Said Duan Wu Ya looking firm.

Yue Tian Ming was astonished, he wanted Lin Feng to immediately marry Duan Xin Ye?! What about the marriage contract!?

Lin Feng looked stupefied for less than a second but immediately returned to normal. That solution was probably the best, killing Lin Feng gave no advantages, it would only cause more damage.

“Let me think.” Replied Lin Feng. He was, of course, going to marry Duan Xin Ye, but time was a problem.

“Think? You need to think?? My sister’s reputation has been tarnished! Everybody knows about what happened! And you’re still thinking of a way to flee from your responsibility?! Lin Feng, give me your answer immediately.” Said Duan Wu Ya looked firm and tenacious.

“I will marry Xin Ye.” Said Lin Feng completely certain. He, of course, had to bear that responsibility for his actions. Duan Xin Ye was a princess and he had taken away her virginity, besides, everybody already knew about it. Duan Xin Ye would be considered an easy woman if he didn’t marry her. He had to marry her for her reputation.

“You must marry her, but also quickly!” Said Duan Wu Ya while staring at Lin Feng: “Besides, you have to show to everyone that you are determined. Everybody must know that you are going to marry her.”

Duan Wu Ya continued: “Everybody knows that my sister is not a virgin anymore. If you don’t marry her right away, she will never regain her reputation. Everything is now in your hands, the only solution is for you to show to everybody that you are determined to be with her and quickly, that is the only way for my sister to regain her reputation.”

Lin Feng felt tense and nervous, but Duan Wu Ya was absolutely right.

If he didn’t marry Duan Xin Ye quickly enough, she wouldn’t regain her reputation. Lin Feng had to prove to everybody that he wanted to be with Duan Xin Ye, but also that he was the perfect man for her. He had to impress everyone and show them that he had what it took to marry a princess, however, how could he do that? How could he prove that he had what was required to marry her?

“Brother, you are so mean to Lin Feng, I don’t care if he doesn’t want to marry me, it doesn’t matter!” Said Duan Xin Ye while running out of her residence. If Lin Feng was willing to marry her, that was already enough. She would be happy to share everything with him. Initially, she didn’t even want to be his first wife, she just wanted to stay by his side. She didn’t care about prestige or reputation.

“Xin Ye, you have nothing to say here. We’re not talking to you.” Said Duan Wu Ya aggressively.

Considering Duan Wu Ya’s behaviour and statements, it seemed like he had planned everything from the beginning… Lin Feng then asked: “Your Highness, tell me, how I can prove it to everyone then.”

“I want you to participate in the Great Competition of Xue Yu and become the glory of Xue Yue, you must show everyone the power of our country. Then you must return and marry my sister.” Said Duan Wu Ya slowly. Then he added: “You, Lin Feng, must participate in the Great Competition of Xue Yu and place amongst the top ten participants, but not at the bottom of the list, only ninth place or above. Otherwise, it would be better for you to die in the competition, there would be no need to return, my sister can’t marry someone who is not worthy.”
