Supreme Emptiness

Chen Silin unconcernedly took all the Qi Cultivation Liquid back to her room.

A calm face emerged with lingering fear.

"Luckily, Jiang Fan left early, otherwise it would have been troublesome."

She patted her chest, her heart pounding wildly,

"These two people, are they enemies or friends of Jiang Fan? I can’t confirm it and absolutely can’t let them find Jiang Fan."

Slightly biting her finger, she forced herself to calm down,

"They definitely haven’t left yet, most likely monitoring me in secret. If I contact Jiang Fan now, they will definitely discover him."

"In that case, I can’t go to the day of Jiang Fan’s marriage proposal tomorrow."

"Sigh!"

The next day.

It was just dawn.

The Xu Family members got up early.

Because today was the day of Jiang Fan’s marriage proposal.

It was said that the Zhu Family might also come.

At that time, both sides would compete openly, and whoever had fewer betrothal gifts would lose face.

The Xu Family members were curious about how many betrothal gifts Jiang Fan could provide and whether he could finally win Xu Youran over.

"Finish the work quickly so we can also have a look and see who our new son-in-law is."

"Is there even a need to say? Of course, it’s Young Master Zhu. He is a disciple of the Green Cloud Sect, and the Zhu Family is one of the most prestigious families."

"Not necessarily. I heard yesterday that Jiang Fan only spent ten thousand taels of silver to get several bottles of Plant Essence, each worth hundreds of thousands."

"Jiang Fan’s betrothal gifts will definitely not be light."

"Who wouldn’t be jealous of the eldest lady, who, though not favored by the master, marries far more grandly than any other lady."

"Do you think the second lady regrets it? After all, Jiang Fan originally wanted to marry her."

At this moment.

Xu Yining emerged from the training ground, hearing the maids gossiping.

Her face immediately turned cold, and she scolded, "You all have no work to do?"

The maids scattered, but her mood remained unsettled for a long time.

Gripping her sword hilt tightly, Xu Yining clenched her teeth slightly, "Will I regret it? What a joke."

"No matter how good or valuable Jiang Fan’s betrothal gifts are, I don’t care! I don’t care!!"

Fuming, she passed by Aunt Wang’s room and heard the noise inside.

"Xu Zhengyan, it’s all your fault! Why are you so useless, why can’t you make more money?"

"The Beauty-Restore Pill is right in front of me, but I can’t afford to buy it!"

"I heard Zhang Yuxiu bought it back and, after taking it, became twenty years younger. She even looks like his sister next to her son now!"

"Why am I so miserable, delayed by your Xu Family."

Xu Yining sighed gently, "Still arguing overnight?"

Since returning from the auction house, Wang Yingfeng had been relentless.

After learning about Zhang Yuxiu’s transformation, she became even more aggressive, quarreling incessantly with Xu Zhengyan.

"Father really has it tough. When I marry someone noble in the future, I’ll definitely ask him to get a Beauty-Restore Pill to compensate for mother."

Suddenly.

The sound of firecrackers erupted.

Xu Yining smiled slightly, "Is the Zhu Family’s betrothal procession here?"

Although she knew clearly that Zhu Jianshen had nearly violated her sister.

Marrying him was like a sheep entering a tiger’s den.

But she preferred her sister not marry Jiang Fan.

Because, if her sister married Jiang Fan and didn’t live well, so be it.

If she lived happily, wouldn’t that mean Xu Yining had been short-sighted for giving up Jiang Fan?

"Hope Young Master Zhu wins," Xu Yining whispered.

In Jiang Fan’s room.

Xu Youran had come early and was crying silently in Jiang Fan’s arms.

"Fan, can we really be together?"

Although she initially felt wronged to marry in place of her sister,

After spending some time together, she discovered she already liked this childhood friend who had pretended to be mute for many years.

She didn’t want to marry anyone else besides Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan gently patted her back and said, "Silly girl, have I ever broken any of my promises to you?"

"I promised to marry you, and I will definitely marry you."

"No one can stop me."

Easy to say, but what about reality?

Xu Youran’s brows remained furrowed.

After the last rush, the Zhu Family must have made more thorough preparations this time.

Moreover, in the past few days, Jiang Fan had completely offended Wang Yingfeng, who naturally would support the Zhu Family more.

"Fan, why don’t you give some Plant Essence to Aunt Wang to calm her down?"

"Otherwise, I’m worried she will make things extremely difficult for you."

Jiang Fan shook his head, "Haven’t you heard the story of Mr. Dongguo and the Wolf?"

"You can’t satisfy a wolf. Give it all the meat it wants, and it will still want to eat the meat off your bones."

"Wang Yingfeng is the same."

"Will she be satisfied with Plant Spirit? No, she will want my 510,000 taels of silver, want you and me to obey her every word, want you to marry into the Zhu Family to gain more benefits."

Upon hearing this, Xu Youran knew it was true.

But if this wasn’t done, when Wang Yingfeng lost her temper later, not even Xu Zhengyan could stop her!

"Don’t worry, the betrothal gifts I prepared will satisfy Wang Yingfeng."

"Even if I slapped her, she would still grit her teeth and say she was satisfied."

Ah?

Xu Youran looked surprised.

What kind of betrothal gifts were that exaggerated?

Jiang Fan didn’t seem to be joking, which made her even more curious.

The sound of drums played, and Xu Youran’s body trembled, holding Jiang Fan even tighter, as if about to lose him.

Jiang Fan teased, "Don’t worry, after the betrothal gifts are given, you can hug me however you want."

Xu Youran’s face flushed with both embarrassment and anger, "Is this the time to joke around?"

After cuddling in his arms for a long time, Xu Youran took a deep breath and, with difficulty, followed Jiang Fan to the Xu Family’s main hall.

At this time, Xu Zhengyan, Wang Yingfeng, the Xu Family members, and Lu Zheng were already there.

Aside from Xu Zhengyan sincerely hoping Jiang Fan would win, the others either watched with glee or had no expectations.

Lu Zheng seized the opportunity to mock openly in front of the whole family,

"Jiang Fan, don’t feel any pressure. You won’t win anyway."

Originally, Jiang Fan didn’t want to respond.

But Lu Zheng kept going, sneering, "The woman I can’t have, you won’t get either, right?"

"If you ask me, you should admit defeat honestly to save face."

"Otherwise, the Zhu Family’s betrothal gifts will make you ashamed!"

"Shut up!"

A voice of disdain came.

It was the usually gentle Xu Youran who scolded Lu Zheng, dissatisfied. @@novelbin@@

"Just because you are useless, don’t think Fan is like you!"

"Fan is a hundred times better than you!"

No man wants to be compared, especially in front of the woman he likes.

Lu Zheng, embarrassed and angry, said, "How is Jiang Fan better than me..."

He stopped mid-sentence.

Recently, in front of Deputy Pavilion Master Chen, he was easily crushed by Jiang Fan, like fighting off a dog.

So, Lu Zheng changed his tune, "What has he given you to make you defend him so much?"

Xu Youran couldn’t bear it anymore.

She stood up and slapped Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng, angered, said, "Alright, alright! A woman dares to hit me? Then don’t blame me for being rude!"

If Xu Yining struck, he could only stand still and take the hit, since she was at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation.

But Xu Youran, being only at the Second Layer, dared to lay hands on him?

Fine, let him teach Wang Yingfeng’s long-held dislike for Xu Youran a lesson.

So, he angrily threw a punch to counter.

Smack—

But as soon as they collided, Lu Zheng was shocked to find his spiritual power inferior to Xu Youran’s.

Her slap deflected his hand and directly slapped his face, knocking him to the ground.

Just now, the Xu Family members who had been laughing with Lu Zheng now looked at Xu Youran as if seeing a ghost, shocked.

Xu Youran coldly retracted her hand and stared at Lu Zheng in disgust, "Now do you know what Fan has given me?"
