Chapter 397 Grandmaster

Zhao Ling'er suddenly noticed that the girl in red was targeting Murong Fu, and tugged at Murong Fu's sleeve, saying, "Cousin."

Murong Fu comforted Zhao Ling'er, saying, "Cousin, look at her mediocre skills, she's no match for me. What are you afraid of?"

Zhao Ling'er nodded: "That's true."

As a grandmaster, Lin Yueru could naturally hear the two whispering loudly.

She is Lin Tiannan's only daughter. With her family's unique skills, "Sword and Finger Dual Skills" and her whip technique, she is unmatched in Jiangnan.

Because the Lin family has only had one son for three generations, and Yue Ru is a girl, she cannot compete for the position of leader of the alliance. Her father, Lin Tiannan, had no choice but to set up a martial arts tournament to select a heroic young man to marry into the Lin family.

But Lin Yueru felt this was an insult to her. She believed that even as a woman, she could defeat all heroes and become the leader of the Southern Martial Arts Alliance. Why would she need a man to marry into her family?

So, given her already fiery temper, she's been especially volatile lately.

Having heard this man look down on him twice in one day, he threw down his whip, drew his Longquan sword with his right hand, and with his left index and middle fingers pointing out a sword's edge, shouted at Murong Fu, "Take this!"

Murong Fu saw Lin Yueru's sword light and thought to himself, "Is this the 'Qi Sword Finger'? It is indeed somewhat similar to the Six Meridians Divine Sword and the Innate Body-Breaking Formless Sword Qi."

Suddenly an idea struck him, and he rushed onto the stage like a gust of wind. He placed his left hand behind his back and extended his right little finger, and a long sword beam stretched out five or six meters, pointing directly at Lin Yueru.

"Gentle Sword".

The sword light was a pale blue, seemingly soft and agile, but in reality sharp and strong.

At this moment, Murong Fu said, "Young lady, I only came up here to beat you up, not to marry you. I hope you won't be crying and begging to marry me later."

Lin Yueru was furious: "Shut up! I'll cut your tongue off after I defeat you!!!"

Murong Fu smiled faintly, and his soft sword shot towards Lin Yueru like a green snake.

Lin Yueru's right-hand longsword clashed with her left-hand qi sword and soft sword.

In the blink of an eye, they exchanged seven or eight blows, leaving Lin Yueru in a state of utter misery.

Although she and Murong Fu were both at the Grandmaster level, the difference between Grandmasters was enormous; she was only a beginner Grandmaster and her skills were still shallow.

However, Murong Fu's internal energy was accumulated over hundreds of years and was extremely powerful. Even with a soft sword, the immense force when they clashed made Lin Yueru feel unsteady on her longsword and unable to maintain her sword energy.

Furthermore, since Murong Fu has now grasped the meaning of "Yun Wuxiang" and combined it with his previous Tai Chi, this soft sword may have no resistance when they collide, but instead absorb Lin Yueru's strength.

The attacks varied in intensity, leaving her completely defenseless.

And the attack frequency is getting faster and faster.

Lin Yueru's forehead was already covered in fine beads of sweat.

To Lin Yueru, Murong Fu is now nothing but a monster.

Looking at the other person's nonchalant demeanor, she knew clearly that she was no match for them.

But having never been one to admit defeat since childhood, she would never give up easily; instead, she fought even harder.

He retreated, then leaped into the air like a large bird. He unleashed a sword strike towards Murong Fu!

The audience was thrilled to witness such a spectacular match.

It should be noted that in the past two weeks, not a single person who went on stage to challenge Lin Yueru had lasted more than three moves.

But at this moment, the young man in white had fought for a hundred moves and seemed to be firmly suppressing the young lady of the Lin family.

At this moment, Li Xiaoyao, Gai Luojiao, and the others also arrived late and walked to Zhao Ling'er's side.

Upon seeing Lin Yueru dressed in red, looking carefree and elegant, with a sharp glint in her eyes, Li Xiaoyao couldn't help but remark, "This woman is so beautiful... but she's too fierce."

Gailo kicked him and said, "Kid, what do you know? This is real charm."

In Gailuojiao's opinion, Lin Yueru is truly a promising young warrior. She is skilled in martial arts, has a strong will to win, and the more she looks at her, the more she likes her.

Li Xiaoyao was in pain from the kick and gasped for breath three times before angrily saying, "What kind of charm is that? Gentleness is charm!"

Miss Ling'er, don't you think so?

At this moment, Zhao Ling'er only had eyes for Murong Fu and did not hear what the two people behind her were saying. She just mumbled an "Mmm" in response.

At this moment, Lin Yueru's sword light crisscrossed, filling the entire arena.

Murong Fu stood proudly in the middle of the arena, neither dodging nor flinching.

A thin mist rose around them, and miraculously, all the sword light vanished instantly upon encountering the mist.

Seeing that her sword moves were having no effect, Lin Yueru felt not only anger but also a sense of powerlessness.

But being a stubborn person, she won't easily admit defeat.

Just as she was preparing to continue her desperate efforts.

The middle-aged man, who had been sitting upright in the chair behind the ring, suddenly slapped the armrest of his chair.

He suddenly leaped onto the arena and shouted at Lin Yueru, "Stop!"

Murong Fu was surprised to see someone come up on stage, and since it was unexpected, he challenged them to a duel.

Murong Fu took two steps back, while the middle-aged man took half a step back.

Grandmaster?!

Murong Fu instantly realized that the middle-aged man with a square face, thick eyebrows, and a large beard was a true grandmaster.

Although Murong Fu felt that his strength and methods might not be inferior to those of a typical grandmaster.

But their sudden appearance before him made him extremely alert.

Name: Lin Tiannan

【Favourability: 80】

"Good! Very good!"

Lin Tiannan, with his hands behind his back, took a half-step forward discreetly, scrutinizing Murong Fu even more intently. He thought to himself: "I never expected a Grandmaster-level expert to force me to retreat! This boy is definitely not simple!!!"

Then he burst into laughter and said, "Truly, heroes emerge from among the young! You're very good!"

"May I ask your esteemed name, young hero? And what your master is? I have never heard of such a talent in the Southern Martial World!"

Murong Fu said, "Alliance Leader Lin, I am Murong Fu from Gusu."

"Martial arts skills are bestowed by heaven; there is no master."

"No master?!"

Lin Tiannan was taken aback upon hearing this, but upon recalling Murong Fu's moves, he realized that they were indeed unprecedented and unheard of.

It's likely that he found a martial arts manual somewhere, but to be able to practice to this level shows his exceptional talent.

Moreover, judging from his appearance, he was only in his early twenties, and it was only a matter of time before he surpassed him. The more Lin Tiannan looked at Murong Fu, the more pleasing he became, and he even felt that his daughter was not good enough for him.

He then addressed the audience, saying, "Esteemed martial arts heroes, our Lin family's martial arts contest for marriage has now come to an end. Thank you all for your support during this time."

Lin Tiannan bowed in gratitude.

This young hero Murong is now the son-in-law of our Lin family, hahahahaha!

"No!" X4

Before Murong Fu could speak, Lin Yueru on the stage, and Zhao Ling'er, Gai Luojiao, and Li Xiaoyao offstage all refused in unison.

Lin Tiannan completely ignored his daughter, Lin Yueru, and looked at the three people below the stage. He naturally remembered that these three were all acquaintances of Murong Fu, and even...

Lin Tiannan looked at Zhao Ling'er and realized that this beautiful woman was Murong Fu's lover.

His own daughters were certainly not lacking in qualities, but compared to this woman, they seemed to pale in comparison. However, he believed that with the Lin family's century-old foundation and martial arts secrets, Murong Fu would be tempted.

Then he slowly said, "Oh? Do you have any insights?"

This is a martial arts contest to find a husband. Since Young Hero Murong has come up on stage and even defeated my daughter, this is quite remarkable.

"If my daughter doesn't marry him, who will she marry?"

After spending these days together, Gai Luojiao generally had a good impression of Murong Fu. In response to Lin Tiannan's words, she retorted: "Although this arena is a martial arts contest to find a husband, our young master Murong did not go up on his own initiative. It was your daughter who forced him to challenge him."

What, is the Lin family trying to steal the bride?

Besides... he's already married to our young master, your daughter should find someone else!

Lin Tiannan was surprised to find that Murong Fu had already married the girl in the audience, and his brows furrowed tightly.

He may seem like a rigid and stubborn man, but he was deeply devoted to his deceased wife and never remarried. He cherished Lin Yueru like the apple of his eye.

In this era, with his status, it wouldn't be difficult for him to have three wives and four concubines, or even a harem.

The fact that he only had one wife and one daughter shows that he was an extremely loyal person to his feelings and family.

He looked at Murong Fu, but then felt that he was a really good prospect, one he had never seen before.

If I miss this opportunity, I may never find it again in my lifetime...

Lin Tiannan thought to himself: Could it be...? Sigh... Yue Ru is too strong-willed. No, she won't agree to marry a married man...

But since these were Gai Luojiao's words, he still wanted to confirm with Murong Fu, so he asked, "Young Master Murong, are you married?"

Murong Fu nodded and said, "I am already married, with many wives and over thirty children."

When Zhao Ling'er heard Murong Fu say this, she thought to herself: My cousin really dares to make up anything to refuse this old man.

We don't even have a child yet!

Zhao Lingji knew she couldn't expose Murong Fu's mistake, so she forced herself not to laugh, but this little trick naturally couldn't be hidden from Lin Tiannan.

He glanced at the smile on Zhao Ling'er's lips and thought to himself: This young master is quite devoted; he'll say anything to reject me.

More than thirty children? Even an emperor probably couldn't have that many!

However... her temperament is far too unstable.

But then he looked at Murong Fu's face and thought to himself: Is it possible for a young person not to be impetuous? I, Lin Tiannan, was just as impetuous when I was young!

Although she no longer had the same strong desire to take Murong Fu as her son-in-law as she had at the beginning, her appreciation for Murong Fu remained unchanged.

Lin Tiannan said, "In that case, I would like to ask Young Hero Murong and his family to stay at my Lin residence for a few days, since you were the one who defeated my daughter in the arena."

"Let's make things clear, otherwise what face will my Lin family have left?"

Lin Tiannan's words made perfect sense. Except for Zhao Ling'er and Gai Luojiao, who frowned slightly, everyone else, including Li Xiaoyao, agreed.

Murong Fu didn't care, as he knew that Lin Tiannan was a virtuous gentleman and a Grandmaster-level expert he had never met before.

It's good to observe.

And so, Murong Fu and his entourage, each with their own thoughts, moved into Lin Family Fort.

At night, Lin Zhengnan paced back and forth in his room, muttering to himself, "I've been the leader of the alliance my whole life, guiding countless young heroes, but all of them combined can't compare to him."

If only I could be your successor...

My Lin family is taking off now!
