Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 533 You are not worthy of my clan's princess
After Qianshan left, only the three members of the Flower Clan remained in the courtyard.

"I never expected to run into Lin Chen here."

The woman with willow-browed eyebrows and another woman exchanged a glance, both with curiosity in their eyes. There was no way around it; Lin Chen's reputation in the clan had recently become too great.

It wasn't because of Lin Chen's achievements at Martial Arts Mountain, nor was it the Tower of Babel, but because of the little princess.

A month ago, Xiao Quan confessed his feelings to the little princess, but was resolutely rejected. At the time, the other members of the clan thought that the little princess did not like Xiao Quan, but the little princess's next sentence broke the hearts of many young people in the clan.

I already have a fiancé!

At first, some people didn't believe the little princess's words, but when the elders pressed her for details and she revealed the name of her fiancé, the clan members had no choice but to believe her.

This is because the person is traceable, and the little princess would not fabricate a fiancé for herself.

Canglan Sect Lin Chen!
Liu Mei knew that ever since the little princess revealed her fiancé's name, many young men in the clan had been filled with hostility towards Lin Chen. If it weren't for the clan rules, many of them would probably have gone to the Canglan Sect to find Lin Chen on the spot.

In the eyes of the young people in the clan, the little princess could choose not to choose him, but Lin Chen was not worthy of the little princess.

The Flower Clan Princess is of such noble status, and her martial arts talent is astonishing; a mere prodigy disciple of the Canglan Sect is not worthy of her.

Both women's gazes fell on Teng Cheng. At this moment, Teng Cheng's face was gloomy. He knew that he was not good enough for the little princess, so he had no improper thoughts. However, he also did not think that Lin Chen was good enough for the little princess.

“Before the little princess returns to her clan, she will be too young to be easily deceived. For the sake of the little princess’s future, as a member of the Flower Clan, I have a duty to make certain people back down.”

Teng Cheng spoke slowly, making no attempt to hide what he planned to do after learning that Lin Chen had appeared there.

"Tengcheng, don't act rashly. If the little princess finds out about this, she will be furious."

Liu Mei tried to persuade her, saying that the little princess already had a fiancé before returning to her clan, and the clan elders would surely be furious about this. They would probably have already captured Lin Chen, and even the Canglan Sect would not be able to stop them.

This is a clan rule, especially for the princess's marriage, which requires the approval of the clan elders.

Strangely, after the little princess mentioned Lin Chen, the clan elders did not make any statement, as if they knew nothing about it.

There are probably secrets hidden inside that they don't know about.

"If the little princess punishes me for this, I will accept it; clan rules cannot be broken."

Teng Cheng was resolute; he was upholding the dignity of his clan. If the other three clans knew that the little princess's fiancé was Lin Chen, they would likely be ridiculed.

Even though Lin Chen has already entered the third stage of the Innate Realm at such a young age, his strength is still not enough to marry the little princess!

Liu Mei and the other woman exchanged a glance; it seemed Teng Cheng was determined.

"Let's not rush things. Lin Chen is currently representing the Moon Soul Clan..."

Liu Mei shook her head. Although the Flower Clan was not afraid of the Moon Soul Clan, targeting Lin Chen at this time would inevitably involve them in the internal affairs of the Moon Soul Clan, which was not something that the younger generation could decide.

"In my opinion, we should go and meet Lin Chen first, and see what is so special about him that the little princess has taken a liking to him."

Linghua smiled and said that since the little princess returned to the clan, many young men in the clan had been in love with her. However, most of the clan members, like Tengcheng, knew that they were not worthy of the little princess and only dared to bury their love in their hearts.

She was curious about what was so special about Lin Chen that made the little princess so fond of him.

……

In the courtyard.

Lin Chen stood in the courtyard, circulating the Immortal Technique, and the next moment his eyes suddenly looked towards the sky above the left side of the courtyard wall.

"Since you are here, why not show yourself."

Lin Chen spoke calmly. Upon hearing this, Liu Mei and Ling Hua, who had just arrived outside the courtyard, both showed surprise. How could Lin Chen's divine sense be so sharp?

"We have no way to conceal our presence; as long as we set up our divine senses in advance, they can detect us."

Teng Cheng's expression didn't change much. The fact that Lin Chen was able to discover them only showed that he was very cautious. Even on the territory of the Entropy Clan, he was constantly scanning his surroundings with his divine sense.

But this also shows that Lin Chen is cowardly. This is the Entropy Clan, and no one dares to cause trouble under the noses of the Entropy Clan elders. Lin Chen, who comes from a small place, is just being cowardly because he thinks he is cautious.

A true strong person doesn't need to be so timid and cautious.

Teng Cheng and his two companions entered the courtyard directly through the wall. Yin Yue, who had heard the commotion, also came out of the house. When she saw Teng Cheng and his companions, she frowned slightly but then relaxed: "What brings you three here?"

Her voice was clear, and although she looked like a little girl, she possessed a natural royal dignity.

"Tengcheng of the Flower Clan greets Princess Yinyue."

"Linghua of the Flower Clan greets Princess Yinyue."

"Willow Eyebrows of the Flower Clan greets Princess Silver Moon."

When Tengcheng and the other two greeted Yin Yue, they acknowledged that although the Moon Soul Clan was not as powerful as their Flower Clan, they still had to show the Moon Soul Royal Family the necessary respect.

"So it's someone from the Flower Clan."

Yin Yue nodded in return, her gaze sweeping over the three men. From the faint patterns and names emblazoned on their robes, she recognized them. But in the end, her gaze settled on Lin Chen, carrying a silent question.

There is no deep relationship between the Moon Soul Clan and the Flower Clan. Even if she is the princess of the Moon Soul Clan, it would not be enough to make these three Flower Clan geniuses come together in the middle of the night.

After the ceremony, Liu Mei and Ling Hua's curious gazes fell on Lin Chen.

They didn't try to hide their gazes; their eyes swept over Lin Chen's tall figure and calm face, carrying a unique scrutiny and an undisguised curiosity.

Is this Lin Chen, the fiancé whom the little princess herself acknowledged?
The prodigy of the Canglan Sect, at the peak of the third realm of the Innate Realm at the age of twenty-one... A hint of interest even flashed in Liu Mei's eyes, while Ling Hua pursed her lips slightly, as if trying to discern from Lin Chen's every move what made him so extraordinary.

After looking at it for a while, I couldn't figure out anything.

In terms of appearance, among the Flower Clan, where handsome men and beautiful women abound, Lin Chen can only be considered average at best. The only difference is his temperament; he lacks the arrogance typical of people his age and is more like a calm lake, serene and mysterious.

Lin Chen also felt the gazes of the two women from the Flower Clan fixed on him, and he understood that the three women from the Flower Clan were coming for him.

However, he had no connection with the Flower Clan, and had never even heard of their existence before today.

Just as Liu Mei and the other woman were curiously observing Lin Chen, Teng Cheng's aura suddenly changed completely.

He stepped forward, his gaze piercing Lin Chen like a sharp sword, filled with undisguised hostility. An invisible pressure, accompanied by his questioning, crashed down on Lin Chen like a mountain.

"You're Lin Chen?"

Sensing the other party's strong hostility, Lin Chen frowned slightly, but remained neither humble nor arrogant: "It is indeed me. What can I do for you?"

"You are not worthy of my princess!"

Teng Cheng's lips curled into a disdainful smile, but what he said left Lin Chen and Yin Yue completely stunned.

Even at this moment, Lin Chen looked at Yin Yue with some doubt, wondering if she was sure that she was not a member of the Moon Soul Clan.

No, there's nothing between me and Yin Yue, I reject the idea of ​​a childish aesthetic...

After the initial shock, Yin Yue thought about it more deeply. She had just told Lin Chen about the return of the Flower Clan princess not long ago, so the Flower Clan princess knew Lin Chen before her return?
Teng Cheng took in Lin Chen's shock, and that astonishment only fueled his anger, convinced that it was a sign of guilt.

"What, you're too scared to even answer a question?"

Despite the aggressive and mocking tone of the other party, Lin Chen's expression remained unchanged. After his initial shock, he realized that since the Flower Clan had come looking for him, they couldn't have made a mistake. Therefore, the princess mentioned by the Flower Clan must be related to him.

There are only two people related to him. He already knows about Murong Yan's situation, but there's Senior Sister Jiang... His father-in-law and he are both from Linhu Village, but his mother-in-law's situation is uncertain.

Especially considering the mystery surrounding her mother-in-law and the jade pendant she had given her, coupled with Yin Yue's recent revelation that the Flower Clan princess's return would coincide with her journey to the Yan Dynasty, she was particularly struck by the fact that the two were almost at the same time.

I never expected that Senior Sister Jiang Qing would be the little princess of the Flower Clan.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen said in a deep voice, "Are you referring to Senior Sister Jiang Qing?"

When Lin Chen mentioned Jiang Qing, Yin Yue, who was standing next to him, suddenly realized that she had followed Lin Chen back to Canglan Island and knew that Lin Chen had a fiancée named Jiang Qing.

"How dare you! How dare you address a princess by her name!"

Tengchong's voice suddenly rose: "The princess is not someone you can covet. Give up now to avoid humiliating yourself."

Hearing Teng Cheng's words, Lin Chen smiled; he finally understood what was going on.

After his senior sister returned to her clan, she must have mentioned their marriage agreement, so Teng Cheng was very dissatisfied, and it seemed that he wasn't the only one who was dissatisfied.

"Does the Flower Clan elder have any comments?"

Lin Chen stared at Teng Cheng, whose face showed a hint of impatience. Seeing this, Lin Chen understood that the elders of the Flower Clan had not yet expressed their opinions.

Don't say the Flower Clan elders didn't express their opinion; even if they did, so what?
The marriage between myself and my senior sister was agreed upon by my father-in-law and mother-in-law. It was a marriage arranged by parents and matchmakers, and the Flower Clan could not interfere, let alone the younger generation of the Flower Clan.

"And what is your identity that allows you to represent the Flower Clan elders?"

Lin Chen sneered, and Teng Cheng was instantly enraged, his aura surging. However, at that moment, Liu Mei and Ling Hua quickly stopped him: "Teng Cheng, don't do anything rash!"

"Lin Chen was invited by me. Does the Flower Clan really think that my Moon Soul Clan is easy to bully?"

Yin Yue spoke at the opportune moment, her face as cold as ice. Even though the Moon Soul Clan was in trouble, she was still the Moon Soul Clan's princess.

Teng Cheng took a deep breath and bowed to Yin Yue: "Princess Yin Yue, please forgive me!"

After saying that, she turned her gaze to Lin Chen: "I cannot represent the Flower Clan, but if you want to become the husband of my clan's princess, you need the consent of the entire clan. You are far from qualified. For Princess Yin Yue's sake, I will not attack you, but I hope you will be unharmed after the Thousand Layers Secret Realm ends!"

Teng Cheng's meaning was clear: he was giving Yin Yue face and would not take action against Lin Chen for the time being.

"No need. If you're not satisfied, you can make your move now."

Lin Chen doesn't like to cause trouble, but there are some things he can't back down on, not even an inch.
