Demon Dragon Mad God

Chapter 29: Chapter 29 Lei Pojun

In fact, she had known Lei Pojun for some time already, and her heart had even been captured by him. Although Lei Pojun was not the top talent of the Lei Family, compared to Lin Feng, no matter how, he could utterly outclass Lin Feng.

After returning to the Lin Family, Lin Feng went straight into his room to start his cultivation; a Martial Master at the First Layer has the strength of one thousand jin, a Martial Master at the Second Layer, twelve hundred jin, and at the Third Layer, thirteen hundred jin, and so on.

Without learning any Combat Skills, raw strength can overcome any tricks, and whoever has greater strength controls the victory.

"A Martial Master can indeed begin learning a Four Stars Battle Skill."

The worst Combat Skills in Lin Feng’s mind were Four Stars; anything lower was simply not available to him. Despite the high grade and difficulty, Lin Feng naturally did not worry about being unable to learn them.

"Let’s break through to Martial Master Second Layer first."

With a burst of motivation, Lin Feng immediately took out the Dragon Vein Grass he bought earlier to prepare a medicinal bath, absorbing the pure medicinal power within.

Inside the Family Head’s residence.

This was the private domain of Lin Zheng, the head of the family, a place not openly accessible to anyone.

Here, Lin Zheng and the Third Elder Lin De received the two sisters from the Shen Family.

"Uncle, Elder."

Shen Bingyan bowed gracefully.

Lin Zheng simply smiled awkwardly. He had already heard from Lin De the hidden purpose behind the Shen sisters’ visit—likely because of the matter concerning Lin Feng.

The thought made him sigh inwardly; despite all his calculations, he had not foreseen this scenario.

"Niece Bingyan, when you come to..."

"Family Head Lin, just call me Shen Bingyan or Bingyan. I will also refer to you as Family Head Lin," Shen Bingyan interrupted Lin Zheng’s words with a light tone.

Hearing this, Lin Zheng sighed helplessly. She was deliberately distancing herself from them.

"Alright, since that is the case, I won’t say more. I just want to ask, regarding your actions, does your father know?"

As he spoke, he fixed his gaze sternly on Shen Bingyan’s eyes. To his slight hope, Shen Bingyan’s gaze wavered slightly. After all, she was a girl not yet deeply experienced in the world, and even without Lin Zheng intentionally exerting his aura, she involuntarily revealed her emotions under his scrutinizing look.

Seeing this, Lin Zheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He knew that Shen Bingyan’s visit was definitely to call off the engagement. He just wanted to clarify whether this was the intention of the Shen Family Head or Shen Bingyan’s own decision. Now, it seemed more like the latter.

If it was the latter, there was room for negotiation.

A woman’s family initiating the annulment of an engagement was a tremendous humiliation to the man’s side. Lin Zheng could not afford to lose face, and even less could Lin Feng. Knowing that Lin Feng had already been greatly affected, if he were to face an annulment on top of that, it would be indescribably bleak.

"Hmph, Family Head Lin, my sister is a Seventh Grade Star; do you think, that Lin Feng is worthy of my sister?" Seeing her sister unable to speak up, Shen Ling’er couldn’t contain her anger. Why was it as if her sister had done something wrong? She immediately spoke up unabashedly.

Lin Zheng’s gaze slightly narrowed. Everyone only knew about how exceptional the Shen Family’s eldest daughter, Shen Bingyan, was, but as for the second daughter, Shen Ling’er, she was seldom mentioned. Even on the rare occasions she was, it was only in four words—peculiar and sprightly.

It seems that doesn’t quite fit, given the courage of this second daughter, she appears to be even stronger than her sister by a measure.

"Lin Feng is my son, the future Young Master of the Lin Family, what makes him unworthy?" Lin Zheng said indifferently.

Shen Ling’er scoffed, "Please, drop the act. Do you think I’m a three-year-old? With Lin Feng’s capabilities, it’s still questionable whether he can even become the Family Head or not."

Boom!

As soon as her words ended, Lin Zheng’s aura burst forth powerfully, revealing the presence of a Great Martial Master.

Startled, Shen Ling’er’s face turned white as she took several steps back. Although frightened, her words remained sharp and merciless.

"What’s this, the Family Head of the Lin Family stooping to bully the young? If word gets out, it would be utterly disgraceful."

Swoosh!

That imposing aura was fleeting.

Lin Zheng took a deep look at Shen Ling’er and then glanced at Shen Bingyan, "If you want to cancel the marriage, have your father come over in person."

With that said, he flung his sleeves and turned to leave, followed closely by Lin De.

"Pfft, what’s so great about him? Just a Great Martial Master. My sister will surely reach that level, and even become an Earth Martial Master in the future," whispered Shen Ling’er, making a face at Lin Zheng’s departing figure.

"Sister, why didn’t you say anything just now? You just let that chance slip away."

Shen Bingyan shook her head helplessly. Only her sister would dare to speak to Lin Zheng like that, a privilege of being from the Shen Family. Anyone else would’ve been struck down with a palm strike for such insolence.

"Forget it, I knew from the start this wouldn’t be simple. We still need father to speak up. If all else fails, I’ll marry into the Lin Family for appearances’ sake, as father says."

"But father only has eyes for the family honor. Haven’t you been to see him several times and each time been turned away halfway through? If it weren’t for me, you’d probably be locked in your room by father without a chance to leave," Shen Ling’er’s eyes gleamed as she seemed to come to a realization. "Right, sister, I heard that the Lin Family is also the guardian family of the Star Tower. It won’t be long before the Star Tower opens, and your beloved, Lei Pojun, will be participating too, won’t he? When that time comes, we just need Lei Pojun to come forward on our behalf, right? Are you sure that Lei Pojun is fond of you?"

Shen Bingyan’s cheeks flushed at the mention of affection, "Perhaps."

"Wow, still shy about it."

Shen Ling’er teased her sister, "Well then, that’s easy. The Shen Family is no match for the Lin Family because aside from wealth, our influence and number of martial masters are far less. But the Lei Family is different. With your excellent talent, they would certainly wish to have such a daughter-in-law. So, all we need is for Lei Pojun to intervene and plead with the Lei Family. Surely, they will pressure the Lin Family. Then, no matter how tough Lin Zheng’s stance, can he really persist?"

Hearing this, Shen Bingyan’s eyes slowly filled with brightness.

Seeing her sister persuaded, Shen Ling’er swelled with pride. Her own ideas were valuable, unlike her sister who was practically clueless, spending her days staring at the lake and complaining without knowing what to do.

Shen Ling’er stretched lazily,

"What we need to do next is find an inn in Boyang City to take a bath and change into clean clothes, and then we set off for Wind and Fire City to find the Lei Family. We should make it there before sunset."

By the time Lin Feng returned to the Lin Family, it was almost sundown. Before going back to his room to cultivate, Lin Feng went to find his father Lin Zheng.

Lin Zheng was inside the Family Head’s residence, looking lost in thought. On seeing Lin Feng return, he immediately sighed, "You’re back."
