Married as a Substitute to the Male Lead Who Was Rejected

Chapter 28: XXVIII

In fact, no matter what Lin Qinghen thought, he really had no chance of escape.

Lin Zhongtian's men guarded the place tightly, and Yu Yinyin couldn't get in at all. When it came to matters concerning Lin Qingshuang, Lin Zhongtian was always extremely cautious to ensure that nothing would go wrong.

The wedding date is approaching, and there is no point in Lin Qinghen being angry now. He holds his chin with his hand and keeps thinking about Yin Jiuxiao.

To be honest, he had a good impression of this person when they first met.

Regardless of whether it was that face or the similar experiences to his own, Lin Qinghen also felt that he was a little too intimate, and he didn't know why.

While he was wondering if this person was planning something, he also thought that Yin Jiuxiao was now just a useless person. He heard from others that he couldn't even summon his own spiritual essence, his strength had been reduced to one star of the Yellow Rank, and his eyesight was not good.

Let alone adding a system, just in terms of spiritual power level, he can't even beat himself and can't cause any trouble.

Overall, this engagement partner is much better than Lin Qinghen had imagined.

He is not self-pitying, nor arrogant, and he seems to be a good person, at least he has a good attitude towards himself. The engagement is there, so there is no point in him pretending to be anything at this time.

He thought about it over and over again and came to the conclusion that Yin Jiuxiao was actually quite sincere.

If you really can't escape in the end, you can actually... give it a try.

At least, if the partner is agreeable, it's not a completely bad thing.

The most coincidental thing is that even if he fails to get married, he will still have to go to the Yin family's territory, so the loss is not too big, or there is no loss at all. Anyway, leaving the Lin family is a good thing.

After thinking it over for a while, Lin Qinghen had come up with a plan and felt less uncomfortable.

After meeting the real owner, all the frustration he had been feeling for the past few days disappeared, and he even began to look forward to it.

The next day was the Lin family banquet, and Yin Miao went to attend it with a heavy breath.

After what happened yesterday, the Yin family thought about it all night long. They were anxious and angry, and they knew that it was impossible for Lin Qingshuang to marry into their family.

It was obvious that Lin Qinghen was not valued, and there was no point in marrying her. It would be a wasted trip.

He went back and was furious with Yin Jiuxiao, but he didn't dare to touch him at all.

Everyone in the family knows that Yin Jiuxiao is in poor health. Now is the most critical moment. If he faints, he will not be able to worship the marriage stone.

What Lin Zhongtian said was right. If the wedding date was delayed, the Yin family would be doomed.

But Yin Jiuxiao ignored him completely. He was still thinking about Lin Qinghen and was obviously in a very good mood.

The Yin family was also invited to the banquet the next day and was seated in a corner.

Lin Zhongtian also looked at them, planning to wait until the banquet was over, even if he had to pressure both parties to fulfill their obligations, not a single second would be wasted.

Unfortunately, Lin Qinghen did not attend the banquet.

Yin Jiuxiao felt very sorry that the time they met yesterday was too short. He wanted to see this man more, talk to him more, and take a closer look at what secrets he was hiding.

But soon, the party was no longer boring.

—There’s a big show to watch.

Although many forces at the table were unaware of the competition for the red round wheat, even if they had a vague sense of something, they would not dare to take action and compete with Sanshan.

But in the end, the Lin family and the people of Suye Fairy Mountain did reach some agreement, and the news that Lin Qingshuang was going to go there for a short period of study spread widely.

Of course Lin Zhongtian would announce such good news in person on this kind of occasion to make it a grand announcement.

Everything had been going well before, and all the necessary groundwork had been laid, until he invited the Peak Master Chu from Sanshan to come up and planned to let him make the announcement. However, he saw that the Peak Master who came up had a smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

This peak master is Chu Wei's uncle, and he is from the same family as the head of Suye Immortal Mountain.

Although Suye Xianshan is not a family-type inherited family, it is indeed the most powerful family with the surname Chu.

Honestly speaking, Lin Zhongtian felt that their interests were a bit weird. No matter what rare treasures he had, Chu Wei was not pleasing to him. The same went for the peak master. He showed no interest in many treasures given to him and was very interested in the red round wheat.

Now when Lin Zhongtian came up to talk, he was fine at the beginning and praised Lin Qingshuang a few words, but he repeatedly stopped mentioning the matter of becoming his disciple.

Lin Zhongtian felt something was wrong and was about to speak when he was interrupted by him in a low voice.

"Master Lin," he looked over, "before this, do you have anything else to say to me about the previous transaction between me and the Lin family?"

Lin Zhongtian was stunned for a moment, then said: "Brother Chu, haven't we already discussed it..."

"Yes," Master Chu Feng smiled slightly, "I am indeed curious, so I made a deal with you to introduce you to your daughter. If I ask, it won't be difficult for my brother to accept me as a disciple. After all, I have never seen this thing before. If you spend some time on it, I can accept it, but the most important thing is that it must be the best in the spiritual world. Do you understand?"

This force is not thinking about profit like other forces, it is just simply interested.

He wanted to keep this thing in his backyard as part of his collection, and then take a closer look to see what tricks there were.

Although this thing is only yellow-grade four stars, it has never appeared before.

Lin Zhongtian didn't understand what he was talking about, and replied: "Brother Chu, that's natural. I promise that the Lin family has never lied to you."

"Yeah?"

That Master Chu Feng smiled coldly at him.

When he saw the round wheat for the first time, he was really shocked. It had been improved in many aspects, it was completely transformed.

With joy in his heart, he agreed. After all, Su Ye Xian Shan was only accepting a disciple and there was no loss. However, after various experiments, he was finally disappointed.

The quality of this strain is somewhat unsatisfactory.

He had seen those pills that appeared in the Lin family's pill recipe that day, and had asked someone to test them. Those pills used the low-grade medicinal base for three-star pills, but their efficacy was much better than the ones he had someone refine later.

This Lord Chu Feng was not an alchemist, and he had not yet clearly realized the difference. But last night, someone sent him a new bottle of medicine.

It was still a four-star hemostatic powder, but it was obviously on a higher level. It was the top four-star level and he couldn't take his eyes off it.

In comparison, the wheat in my hand seemed even less valuable.

What he gets must be the best in the entire spiritual world.

This was the reason why he paid so much attention to this matter. It was not like the conflict of interests between Bai Lu Zongheng and Fu Xin Miao Fa, but just out of a strange collecting habit.

Master Chu Feng was very unhappy.

He didn't care who sent this thing or for what purpose. Since the Lin family agreed to the deal, he had to get what he wanted.

As for how this thing was made, it was not his concern. The Lin family had to give him an explanation.

He chose to attack at this time intentionally, in order to force Lin Zhongtian.

"Brother Chu!" Lin Zhongtian didn't understand what he was saying at all, but he felt that he seemed to be going back on his word at this critical moment. "Do you want to go back on your word?"

The Chu Feng master was not panicked at all and replied: "It has always been like this. It's not the first time that you go back on your word. If you can't give me what I want, don't even think about sending your daughter to Suye Fairy Mountain."

"you!"

Although the Lin family has become more powerful in recent years, it cannot compare with Sanshan.

No matter how angry Lin Zhongtian was, he could only swallow his anger, lower his posture, and continue to negotiate with the person in front of him.

But some people at the banquet had already noticed something wrong with their strange appearance.

There was a joyous atmosphere before, and the good news was about to be announced. Even the head of the Suye Immortal Mountain stood up, but nothing happened afterwards.

Some people from other families deliberately stirred up the crowd and asked, "I heard that the daughter of Patriarch Lin is going to become a disciple of the head of Suye Immortal Mountain. It's a great alliance. Isn't Patriarch Lin going to tell us about this?"

There were not many kind-hearted people among the famous families that Lin Qingshuang had brought back from her travels. They also joked, "Sister Shuang, you're right. Why didn't you tell us about such a good thing?"

Chu Wei didn't say anything, but looked up at her.

He is not stupid. He knows from the situation that something is wrong and it will fail.

How boring, he thought. This time during his trip to the Lin family, he didn't get the things that he and his uncle were most interested in.

That Chu Feng master was also a ruthless person. He felt that Lin Zhongtian was still playing dumb, so he immediately lost his patience and said to the crowd, "The Lin family is well-educated, and I think they look down on us from Su Ye Xianshan. The matter of becoming his disciple is just a rumor."

After these words were spoken, Lin Zhongtian's face turned pale, not to mention how ugly Lin Qingshuang's face looked.

There was silence for a few moments at the table, and then a few scattered laughs were heard, full of mockery.

No matter how grand the banquet was, with such a joke, many of the Lin family's plans were ruined.

Not to mention that they had offended the other two mountains in order to conquer Suye Fairy Mountain. It was really a waste of time.

Even Yin Miao, who was in a bad mood, laughed in the corner. Everyone in the place heard what Master Chu Feng said, and many people whispered and laughed at him.

"Bah! You deserve it!" he said, "You are such a jerk, who do you think you are!"

Yin Jiuxiao also heard it. Unlike those who were just there to watch the fun, he knew much more inside information than others.

Was it Lin Qinghen who did it

He felt much better when he thought of this person.

If it were him, it seems that this ugly duckling is not just a soft-tempered person, but also a vengeful person.

He was able to seize the opportunity to do such a trick on others, but he hid it very well. The loss to the Lin family was immeasurable.

It's just... endearing.

The world is unpredictable and no one can predict what will happen. Up to this point in time, he and Lin Qinghen cooperated with each other for the first time and got what they wanted.

Yin Jiuxiao had gotten everything he wanted these past few days, and all the unexpected things happened just in time.

On the other side, Yu Yinyin quickly told Lin Qinghen what happened at the banquet through the butterfly that remained.

After she finished speaking, she heard silence over there and asked again, "Qinghen, aren't you happy about this?"

"It's okay," Lin Qinghen said honestly, "When I did this originally, I probably anticipated what would happen. I used my things to flatter the Lin family, and the Lin family will have its own retribution. I've worn off the enthusiasm now."

He had heard about the personalities of some of the leaders of Suye Immortal Mountain. Chu Wei and Chu Fengzhu were uncle and nephew, and their personalities were very similar to some extent.

That Master Chu Feng also had a bit of Chu Wei's attitude of being reckless about what he liked. The round wheat that the Lin family got was not good to begin with and did not meet his standard of "the best", so the relationship was naturally broken at the first sign of trouble.

Yu Yinyin also sighed, feeling guilty towards him: "It's my fault that I didn't protect you well."

By night, Lin Qinghen was about to get married, but she still had no way to get through so many guards and take the person away.

Just because the banquet went awry doesn't mean the guards here will be reduced.

"It's none of your business, and I'm not sad now," Lin Qinghen said, "It's a matter of taking one step at a time. Now, um, I'm thinking about Yin Jiuxiao."

"What do you want him to do?"

"I was a little surprised to meet him. He's actually a good person," Lin Qinghen said, "I've been thinking about it for a day. Now I feel that if I can't resist, it's not a bad thing to marry him."

After a while, Lin Qinghen added another sentence, as if muttering to himself: "Look at him, he is pitiful, speaks softly, and looks good. I don't expect him to do anything, so it's not bad to keep him by my side and watch him."

Marrying him is not a bad thing

Yu Yinyin: “…”

Now it was her turn to be speechless.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Lin Qinghen's attitude changed.

Young people, young people.

I accepted reality pretty quickly.
