Chapter 1248 Signing a Life and Death Contract
In the dim environment, the conversation between Lin Fan and Phoenix continued, and every word revealed deep emotions and complex backgrounds.
"That's why your father hates the Nalan family, so he wants to raise dead soldiers to avenge his hatred." Lin Fan's voice was full of emotion, and he seemed to be able to understand the pain of having a loved one taken away.
However, Phoenix gently shook her head, a trace of deep pain and anger flashed in her eyes, "No." Her voice was trembling, as if she was trying to suppress the emotions in her heart, "Participate in the metropolitan conference, We had to sign a life and death certificate in advance. No matter how angry we were, we would never lose our minds and care for the dead, because doing so would not only put our family into a deeper crisis, but also lead to the death of our brother. becomes meaningless."
She took a deep breath and tried to calm down her emotions, "However, after this, the Nalan family deliberately came to propose marriage again and again. And the man who threatened to marry me was the one who punched me to death. My brother's Nalankang!" Her voice was filled with endless sorrow and anger, as if she had returned to that heartbreaking moment.
"Nalankang? He wants to marry you?" Lin Fan's eyes widened and he couldn't believe his ears. This behavior is so shameless!
"That's right." Phoenix nodded, her eyes flashing with hatred, "Not only does he want to get me, but he also wants to control our entire family through me. The Nalan family is one of the nobles of the Golden Wind Empire , they have strong power and influence. If our family can marry with the Nalan family, then they can use our family's resources and connections to expand their sphere of influence."
"But your family is only at the lower-middle level, what's the benefit of doing this?" Lin Fan asked doubtfully. He really couldn't figure out why the Nalan family would like a family that was not very powerful.
"This is the cunning point of Nalanqing." Phoenix sneered, "What he values is not the strength of our family, but a mysterious place of our family."
“Mysterious place?” Lin Fan became even more confused.
"Yes." Phoenix explained, "Although our family is not strong, we do own a mysterious land that has been passed down for thousands of years. It is said that there is an ancient secret and powerful power hidden under that land. Nalanqing didn't know from Who knew this news, so he wanted to control our family through marriage, and then get that mysterious land. "
“This…” Lin Fan was shocked. He didn't expect that there were such deep secrets and conspiracies hidden behind this, "Then does your family agree?"
"Of course not!" Phoenix said decisively, "Although our family is not strong, we still have our own backbone and dignity. We would rather die than succumb to the power of the Nalan family!"
"That's good." Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief, "What happened next? The Nalan family didn't just give up, right?"
"That's right." A hint of coldness flashed in Phoenix's eyes, "The Nalan family saw that we did not agree to the marriage, so they began to suppress and threaten our family. They used their power in the court to persecute our family in various ways. . Our family’s business was severely hit, and our family was almost in dire straits during that time.”
"Then how did you survive?" Lin Fan asked with concern. "It was my father's persistence and the unity of the clan that allowed us to survive that difficult time." Phoenix's eyes flashed with determination and pride, "My father said that as long as we are united, nothing can defeat us. He Led the clan members to get back on their feet and restart the family business. Although the process was difficult, we survived in the end.”
Hearing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but stand in awe of Phoenix and her family. Although they faced adversity, they still maintained their indomitable spirit and the strength of unity. This kind of spirit and strength cannot be defeated by any difficulties and setbacks.
“What happened next? How is your family doing now?” Lin Fan asked.
"Later..." A trace of sadness flashed in Phoenix's eyes, "Although we survived that difficult time, the suppression and threats from the Nalan family did not stop. They have been looking for opportunities to completely destroy our family. And now..." She paused, "And now I am the only one left in our family."
"What?!" Lin Fan's eyes widened in shock, "You are the only one left? What about the others?"
"The others..." Fenghuang's eyes were moist, "They were all killed by the Nalan family." Her voice trembled, "The Nalan family suddenly launched an attack on our family while I was not at home. They brutally killed all the clan members and guards, and I was the only one who escaped because I was outside."
Tears slid down Phoenix's cheeks, and her heart was filled with endless grief and anger. She could never forget those **** and cruel scenes. The tribesmen who had grown up with her and given her warmth and care left her forever.
Looking at Phoenix's grief-stricken expression, Lin Fan's heart was filled with anger and sympathy. He held Fenghuang's hand tightly, "Cangyan, don't cry. Don't worry, I will help you get revenge! I will make those murderers pay the price they deserve!"
Fenghuang raised her head and looked at Lin Fan with tearful eyes, "You...are you really willing to help me?" There was a hint of hope and expectation in her voice.
"Of course!" Lin Fan said firmly, "You are not only my friend, but also the person I, Lin Fan, want to protect.
