#378 - Chapter 378 Lin Wan'er's Choice
Now that he had obtained the cultivation method, all that remained was to master the basics, and the rest would follow naturally.
Cheng Feng had obtained a cultivation method that would allow him to advance further.
From then on, his path of martial arts would take another step forward.
As for the Black Flood Dragon Body Refinement Art, Cheng Feng felt that it required too many points and was not worth it.
With the great battle imminent, Cheng Feng dared not delay.
After bidding farewell to Wang Tieshan, Cheng Feng went straight to the Lin residence.
In the entire Qingxi County, there were only a few people that Cheng Feng cared about.
Besides his family,
the woman he loved and had successfully wooed was already his.
Now, only Lin Wan'er remained.
She was the white moonlight in Cheng Feng's heart.
That moment of emotional悸动, Cheng Feng would never forget.
Heh, men!
Lin Residence.
Upon hearing of Cheng Feng's arrival, Lin Wan'er put down what she was doing and went straight to Cheng Feng.
The nearby butler watched Lin Wan'er's deep affection.
He shook his head helplessly.
He grumbled in his heart: "How could Miss choose someone like Cheng Feng who has no background?"
In the butler's eyes, a matching social status was the most important thing.
How much could one achieve by fighting in the underworld?
What if one day…
The arrogance of the wealthy was evident.
Lin Wan'er hurried through the carved and painted corridor,
her face brimming with the joy of seeing Cheng Feng.
Her smile was like the brightest sunshine in spring, instantly dispelling the gloom in Cheng Feng's heart.
"Cheng Feng, why are you here? Is there something urgent?"
Her voice was gentle and concerned, each word softly touching Cheng Feng's heart.
Cheng Feng smiled slightly, his eyes filled with tenderness: "It's nothing, I just wanted to come and see you.
Is Uncle Lin at home?"
Lin Wan'er was surprised to hear this, Cheng Feng was actually saying such blunt words.
This was equivalent to indirectly expressing his feelings.
Not daring to think too much, Lin Wan'er replied: "Father is out, what do you need him for?"
The butler watched silently from the side, although he was unwilling,
he couldn't say anything in the face of the talented man and beautiful woman.
After all, Cheng Feng's appearance was indeed not bad.
His face was like a sculpture, his features were distinct,
his appearance seemed unrestrained, but the glint in his eyes made people dare not underestimate him,
his dark hair, paired with a high nose bridge, showed an irresistible charm.
He began to reflect, perhaps social status was not the only standard for measuring happiness,
true love required two hearts to rely on and understand each other.
"Cheng Feng, tell me if you have anything, I can make decisions for the Lin family now." Lin Wan'er's words were gentle and powerful.
Cheng Feng was indeed a little emotional, Lin Wan'er, who might have looked worried when encountering things before,
had grown to this point.
"Wan'er, I received news that the Red Lotus Sect rebels are already attacking Qingyang County.
They will soon be at the city gates, and our Qingxi County is probably not going to be able to hold out.
I have already arranged manpower in the Blackwood Prefecture.
It can be used as a retreat, and we will prepare to set off tomorrow.
Thinking that your Lin family is also a large family,
I came to inform you to be prepared."
Lin Wan'er was shocked to hear this, and the romantic feelings in her heart suddenly disappeared.
All that remained was surprise at the war that the family might face in the future.
Seeing Lin Wan'er not speaking, the old butler standing aside hesitated to speak.
The news from the underworld was somewhat credible.
The news that someone of Cheng Feng's level came to convey
naturally could not be groundless.
But he was of little importance and could not speak out.
Just as he was about to remind his young lady,
Lin Wan'er solemnly said: "I believe that Brother Feng would send this news at this time,
Wan'er naturally believes it.
But the Lin family has many people, and my father is not here either.
I need a night to prepare in advance."
Looking at Lin Wan'er's fair face with a bitter expression,
Cheng Feng took out a jade pendant and put it in Lin Wan'er's hand, saying: "I can understand your situation,
there is not much time left,
I also need to prepare.
You come to me tomorrow, I will definitely not leave you alone.
If you need anything, you can also ask the Hongmen disciples for help with this jade pendant.
Tomorrow, I will come again."
Taking the jade pendant, Lin Wan'er was naturally moved.
The current turmoil made Lin Wan'er a little at a loss.
But at least she was currently in charge of the Lin family,
and naturally knew the weight of the Hongmen now.
How could Lin Wan'er not know about a gang that dominated a county?
Lin Wan'er quickly gathered her emotions and thanked Cheng Feng.
As the sun set, Cheng Feng bid farewell to Lin Wan'er and embarked on the road home.
His figure stretched in the afterglow of the setting sun, each step appearing exceptionally firm.
In front of the Lin residence, watching Cheng Feng leave, she felt both reluctance and anticipation.
It was not easy for Cheng Feng to do this much.
Perhaps, she should also do something?
That night, the Lin family gathered together.
"Lin Wan'er, why did you call us here so late?"
"That's right, the wives and concubines at home are waiting for us to go back for dinner."
Lin Wan'er sat upright in the main seat, the candlelight illuminating her resolute face, her eyes flashing with an unprecedented light.
Faced with the complaints of the family members, she simply raised her hand gently, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"Uncles, brothers, the reason for gathering everyone here today is to discuss important matters." Her voice was soft, but contained a power that could not be underestimated.
"Cheng Feng, you may have heard of him. He has done me a favor, and he is the person Lin Wan'er has recognized in her heart."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall. Several elders whispered to each other, discussing endlessly,
while the younger generation was mostly curious and puzzled.
Lin Wan'er continued: "I, Lin Wan'er, will remember his help to me."
"But… but he is just a commoner, how can he be worthy of the Lin family's daughter?" An older uncle questioned.
Lin Wan'er smiled slightly, her eyes as firm as torches: "Is worthiness determined by status and position?
Cheng Feng's heart is a thousand times purer than those seemingly glamorous but corrupt aristocratic children.
I have made up my mind to help him and add a boost to our Lin family."
"Wan'er, your words are inappropriate. The world is dangerous, how can a woman like you get involved?" Another brother retorted.
"That is why I need to take action." Lin Wan'er stood up, her tone resolute.
"I received news that the Red Lotus Sect rebels will attack Qingxi County in a few days.
As far as I know, no one has been able to obtain such news."
The hall fell into a brief silence, and everyone was shocked by Lin Wan'er's words.
After a moment, an older uncle slowly opened his mouth: "Wan'er, is this true? This is a major matter, and you can't mess around."
"Niece understands." Lin Wan'er nodded, a trace of gratitude flashing in her eyes.
"The name of Hongmen, I believe everyone has heard of it.
And this news was personally told to me by Cheng Feng."
"The reason for gathering the family members tonight is for this.
I know that you uncles are worried about Wan'er's lifelong affairs, and today I will make it clear.
I already have someone I love, and if anyone mentions this again in the future, don't blame me for turning against you.
Secondly, I want to confirm that tomorrow afternoon, the entire Lin family will be divided into smaller groups and leave the city in batches to go to Blackwood Prefecture.
How should this arrangement be made? I would like to hear everyone's opinions."
