Capítulo 1697: Chapter 156: Young Master, Please Wait
He really wanted to teach the officials of the small town a lesson, but doing so would only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.
As long as this country refuses to repent, such societal bullying will not be eradicated.
So let these people think, after all, when the governnt oppresses the people, rebellion often follows, and many regis have been replaced in this way.
The incident settled down, and the crowd dispersed.
Lin Yifan entered the Li Family to discuss the matter of the embroidered ball.
With the doors closed, everything could be discussed openly, so Lin Yifan got straight to the point: “Let be honest with you, I caught the embroidered ball by accident and have no intention of becoming your son-in-law, so please don’t worry about a marriage between and Miss Li.”
Inside, Li Chunting felt a wave of disappointnt. She could tell that Lin Yifan didn’t like her, but she didn’t expect him to be so direct.
A wedding offered for free, and he didn’t want it. Was she too unattractive, or was Lin Yifan too aloof?
She didn’t know, but her mood sank deeply.
However, Father and Mother Li were secretly pleased, as Lin Yifan had offended the Wang Family and would not have easy days ahead.
So they pretended to be sowhat helpless as they responded, “I see, in that case, we won’t force it.”
“That’s much better!”
Lin Yifan did not care about the other party’s motives; as long as the marriage didn’t go through, it was fine.
To compensate for the loss of Miss Li Chunting’s reputation, he took out a box of gold bars from the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring and gave it to Father and Mother Li: “Take this money to pay off your debts, and don’t let your daughter get caught up innocently anymore.”
Father and Mother Li were deeply moved, never expecting Lin Yifan, an outsider, to be so generous at this mont, really making them feel undeserving.
They were embarrassed to hide anything further, so they advised, “Young man, you should leave here quickly. The Wang Family has so backing. If those people co, you won’t be able to escape.”
“Who is the Wang Family’s backing?” Lin Yifan inquired.
“General Wang from the Capital City,” Father Li replied.
“General Wang? Is he formidable?” Lin Yifan asked further.
“This person’s realm is very high; I heard he’s reached the Mysterious Immortal Realm. You should leave quickly.”
“Mysterious Immortal Realm? That’s indeed quite high.”
Lin Yifan hadn’t expected the Wang Family to have such a backing. No wonder they dared to run rampant in this small town.
A big official in the Capital and a local king, the saying was true.
He could leave anyti, but what about the Li family? So he asked, “Will you be safe here?”
“If Young Master Wang doesn’t relent against my daughter Ting’er, I don’t think it’s safe here,” Father Li replied.
“Then what do you plan to do?”
“We can only move to the Capital City. Under the emperor’s nose, they wouldn’t dare act recklessly.”
“Alright, when do you plan to leave? I’ll see you off.”
“We appreciate your kindness. However, we are ordinary people and might burden you, so we’ll make the journey ourselves.”
Father and Mother Li declined Lin Yifan’s offer. On the surface, it was for this reason, but internally, they had so selfish thoughts.
They feared that Lin Yifan might bring trouble to them, as when the Wang Family pursued him, they might also suffer because of it.
“Alright! Be careful, and don’t let any problems arise.”
Lin Yifan had done all he could. Since they didn’t need him, he didn’t insist.
“Okay, we understand,” Father and Mother Li responded.
After the discussion concluded, Lin Yifan left.
At this ti, the deeply moved Li Chunting chased after him.
“Young master, please wait.”
Lin Yifan turned around and asked curiously, “Miss Li? Is there anything else?”
“Are you really not considering as your wife?” Li Chunting asked.
“I can’t even contend with General Wang right now. You should heed your parents’ advice and live a good life.”
It’s not true that he didn’t get Father and Mother Li’s hints, so Lin Yifan understood their aning.
However, this also aligned with his own perspective, so he followed their suggestion.
“But I only threw the embroidered ball once; I won’t do it again in this life,” Li Chunting pleaded, not wanting to lose Lin Yifan as such a good prospect.
“Why go through such trouble? We only t by chance; you don’t know about , and I don’t know about you. Being so hasty is not good for anyone,” Lin Yifan responded.
“Feelings can be cultivated slowly. As long as you promise to marry , I can wait forever,” Li Chunting was deeply devoted.
“No, no, no, I’m a fugitive wanted in multiple countries. You won’t be happy with .” Lin Yifan hurriedly refused, not wanting to gain a wife for no reason.
“You have such a kind heart; how can you be a fugitive?”
“It doesn’t matter if you believe it or not. The point is, I am wandering everywhere, holess, so take care of yourself and your parents,” Lin Yifan replied.
“But…”
“No buts. It’s impossible for us to be together.”
Lin Yifan was reaching his limit; he wanted Li Chunting to give up hope.
Such cold and heartless words greatly shook Li Chunting’s fragile heart, and tears stread down her face uncontrollably.
She ran back to her room, crying alone.
Watching Li Chunting’s sad departure, Lin Yifan wondered if he might have been too harsh, questioning whether it was right to treat an innocent young girl in this way.
Father and Mother Li ca over to comfort him: “Young man, don’t worry; we’ll take care of Ting’er. You should hurry and leave.”
“Take care then!”
With that, Lin Yifan quickly departed.
On the other side, the Wang Family had already sent a ssage via carrier pigeon, asking General Wang to send reinforcents.
Once reinforcents arrived, it would be Lin Yifan’s end. To prevent him from escaping, they deployed people to secretly monitor around the Li family’s mansion, ready to report if anything happened.
Upon hearing from their spies that Lin Yifan had left the Li family, Wang Dapeng panicked and ordered all spies to track Lin Yifan.
At the sa ti, he sent people to seize control of the Li family, using them as bait to lure Lin Yifan into a trap.
When Lin Yifan, reaching the outskirts, suddenly felt uneasy, he slipped into the forest and captured those who were following him.
The Wang family’s scouts had followed him to this point but beca alert when they couldn’t see Lin Yifan, scanning their surroundings.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Suddenly, a barrage of stones struck them, leaving them immobilized on the ground.
“Who sent you?” Lin Yifan descended from the tree, interrogating them sternly.
“Spare us, hero; we’re Wang family’s scouts, sent by Wang Dapeng,” the scouts answered, trembling.
They had witnessed Lin Yifan’s skills before; this person feared not even the Wang family, let alone them, so they knew they should tread carefully.
“Wang Dapeng? So he’s already inford them.”
Without further delay, Lin Yifan left imdiately.
Seeing this, the Wang family’s scouts secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Continuing to track him was now impossible, so they had no choice but to return and report in.
