Seeing that the woman hadn't exerted much force yet was able to subdue an adult man with one hand, rendering him immobile, it was clear that her grappling skills were extremely high, demonstrating her profound martial arts prowess.

The man was instantly pinned to the ground. Realizing the difference in their martial arts skills, he immediately begged for mercy.

The woman then kicked the man seven or eight steps away, and chuckled softly, "You dog, can't you even open your eyes? You dare to talk nonsense to just anyone?"

The man was initially somewhat displeased, but upon seeing the Sword Harmony Sect's robes on the woman before him, he realized she was someone he couldn't afford to offend.

So he had no choice but to beg for mercy and slunk away.

Upon seeing this, the other martial arts figures couldn't help but laugh out loud.

No one spoke up for the man.

After all, in the martial arts world, the strong are always respected, and there is constant fighting every day. When a conflict occurs, people just watch the show; everyone thinks, "It's better to avoid trouble."

Seeing that the woman had chased away the harasser for her, Fu Ruiying walked up to her, blushing, and said, "Thank... thank you so much, my benefactor, Miss..."

"Hmm, it's nothing."

The woman glanced at Fu Ruiying, seemingly noticing something, and suddenly smiled, saying, "You are... the beggar I saw in Jiuyi Mountain before, right?"

Fu Ruiying blushed and nodded, looking at the other person's beautiful face, then mustered her courage and asked, "May I ask... what is the name of my benefactor, Miss?"

Without hesitation, the woman replied, "My name is Lin Jun."

“Miss Lin Jun? I’ll remember that…”

Fu Ruiying nodded silently, as if she wanted to remember the name.

She then added, "I am so grateful for Miss Lin Jun's help before; without those few steamed buns, I certainly wouldn't have survived... And now she's helped me out of this predicament. I have no way to repay her, so I can only..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jun interrupted her, saying, "I don't need to repay you for doing good deeds, so you don't need to take it to heart."

“Is… is that so…”

Fu Ruiying seemed somewhat disappointed.

Lin Jun then added, "This Lou Family Garden is fraught with danger, like a dragon's den or a tiger's lair. You shouldn't have come here, but..."

She thought for a moment, then smiled brightly and said, "If you need any help, you can find me at the small building where the Sword Harmony Sect is located in the west. I will definitely help you if I can."

Fu Ruiying was delighted to hear this and quickly thanked her.

Lin Jun then had other matters to attend to, so she bid farewell to Fu Ruiying.

He then flung his sleeves aside, put his hands behind his back, and left.

Her elegance and grace were unparalleled.

Fu Ruiying placed her hand on her chest, her face flushed.

"Miss Lin Jun..."

She seemed to have engraved that name deep in her heart, never daring to forget it.

But if she knew that the so-called "Miss Lin Jun" had another identity that she dared not even imagine, I wonder what she would think.

-

Not long after, the banquet at the Lou family mansion ended.

Many guests in the main hall left their seats one by one.

At this moment, Tong Yan, along with Liu Li and Bei Dou, came down from their seats and met Chi Junlin outside the venue.

Chi Junlin bowed respectfully upon seeing Tong Yan.

However, his youthful expression didn't look very good at this moment.

Because she had an annoying guy following her, namely Jia Renyi.

Chi Junlin then bowed to Jia Renyi and said, "Lin Jun greets her senior uncle."

Jia Renyi seemed to have already heard Tong Yan reintroduce her, and made no comment.

He simply gave her a dismissive "hmm".

Then, he said to Tong Yan, "Junior sister, think about it again. This is a rare opportunity for the sect. Don't you think so at all?"

Upon hearing this, Tong Yan revealed an indignant expression and said, "Senior brother, you don't need to say anything more. I have my own considerations. There's no need for you to trouble yourself!"

Having said that, he led Chi Junlin and the others, turned and left.

Chapter 99 A Way to Die Has Been Established

After leaving the vicinity of the Lou family mansion, Chi Junlin walked side by side with him.

She turned to look at Tong Yan and saw that Tong Yan's expression seemed somewhat annoyed.

Liuli and Beidou followed behind.

Judging from Liuli's appearance, she seemed to have suffered some injustice.

Seeing that there was no one else around, Chi Junlin came to Tong Yan's side and almost imperceptibly took her hand in his.

Then she said softly, "Why are you so angry? What happened?"

Tong Yan felt the warmth from Chi Junlin's palm, and her face flushed slightly.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, he turned around and grasped Chi Junlin's palm.

Then he sighed and said, "While I wasn't paying attention, Jia Renyi arranged a marriage between himself and the Lou family without consulting them."

"Marriage? With whom?"

Chi Junlin asked with slight surprise, "You?"

Upon hearing this, Tong Yan glared at her, looking at her with captivating charm, "What nonsense are you thinking? How old am I? How could I possibly be forced into marriage?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Junlin smiled and whispered in her ear, "Master is only allowed to marry her disciple, and is not allowed to be intimate with anyone else."

Tong Yan blushed upon hearing Chi Junlin's sweet words, feeling a surge of joy in her heart.

But he quickly became serious again, and said with a hint of worry, "It's Li'er."

"Liuli? She's so young, why would she be engaged?"

"Yes, I think so too."

Tong Yan sighed and said, "But Jia Renyi has already introduced Li'er to Consort Lou, hoping to establish a marriage alliance with her only son. Consort Lou met Li'er today and was extremely satisfied with her. She wants to finalize the matter."

"I only learned from Lou Xiangfei's words that Jia Renyi had made such a big decision for me, but he hadn't mentioned it to me at all."

Chi Junlin's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this.

However, he chuckled coldly in a low voice, "This Jia Renyi... ha."

Tong Yan turned around and glanced at Liu Li again, noticing that she was still somewhat sullen.

He then asked Chi Junlin, "Junlin, what do you think we should do?"

Chi Jun was not in a hurry when he arrived. He just smiled and comforted Tong Yan, "Master, don't worry. Your disciple is here for you. Leave this to me."

Although Tong Yan didn't know what preparations Chi Junlin had made, she naturally felt relieved after hearing what she said.

Unbeknownst to her, Tong Yan had already begun to treat Chi Junlin as her rightful husband.

He is both the backbone of the Sword Harmony Sect and his beloved.

Tong Yan... has decided to wholeheartedly trust Chi Junlin.

So I didn't ask her how she planned to resolve the issue or what methods she would use.

He simply leaned against Chi Junlin and gently rested his head on her shoulder.

-

On the other hand, after being met with a harsh response from Tong Yan, Jia Renyi couldn't help but feel embarrassed and annoyed.

He thought to himself that he was clearly considering Liuli's future and finding her a good place to settle down.

Despite her youthful appearance, she showed no gratitude whatsoever.

It's like a dog biting Lü Dongbin—they don't appreciate a kind heart!

What makes Jia Renyi even more resentful is that if Liuli doesn't get married, Tongyan will always be distracted from taking care of her.

How could I possibly get close to Tong Yan and become intimate with this stunningly beautiful and aloof junior sister?

Just as he was thinking about these things, Jia Renyi saw Ding Xia in the grove in front of Ding, whispering something to another maid.

No one knows what Ding Xia said, but it made the little maid giggle.

Jia Renyi felt a surge of rage whenever he saw a young man who was so popular with girls.

Unable to resist, he stepped forward and glared at the two of them.

The maid was so frightened that she immediately turned and ran away.

Seeing this, Ding Xia was slightly displeased and looked at Jia Renyi, asking, "Uncle-Master, what's the matter?"

Jia Renyi stared at Ding Xia and asked, "What did you talk about when you went to meet your master's wife?"

Ding Xia thought, "What's it to you, old man, if I'm chatting with my master's wife?"

Despite thinking this in his heart, he still honestly lowered his head and replied, "My master's wife told me to stay here and behave myself."

If possible, it's best to stroll around the Lou family mansion and take a look. It would be ideal to befriend the Lou family members; even if that's not possible, try to get close to them.

"that's it?"

"that's it."

"You didn't mention me?"

"No."

Jia Renyi couldn't help but glare at Ding Xia, thinking to himself, "I've been so good to you these past few days, all that money has gone to waste. You don't even know how to say a good word for me."

Ding Xia was bewildered by the stare, wondering what was wrong with this old dog this time.

Jia Renyi hesitated for a long time, seemingly unable to think of anything to say, and could only squeeze out a few words through gritted teeth.

"Fine, we'll listen to your master's wife. She's not wrong, she's not wrong."

At this moment, Fu Ruiying ran over from the courtyard and seemed very happy to see Ding Xia, as if she wanted to share something with him.

He called out, "Brother Ding Xia!"

But soon she saw Jia Renyi, and her expression immediately became tense. She whispered, "Uncle-Master Jia."

Jia Renyi was displeased, so he took his anger out on Fu Ruiying, saying, "What kind of senior uncle am I to you? Can you just call someone your senior uncle?"

Fu Ruiying was at a loss upon hearing this, and lowered her head with her hands hanging down.

Ding Xia looked at Jia Renyi, feeling somewhat bewildered.

Jia Renyi shook his head and said, "Forget it, you can go back. You're just getting in the way of me standing here."

So the two of them quickly left Jia Renyi's presence and ran along the path toward the courtyard.

After the two men walked away, Jia Renyi found a quiet spot and pondered as he walked.

The matter of Liuli is pretty much settled.

In short, the Lou family head was very satisfied with her, and Tong Yan couldn't help but be happy.

The thought of Lou Xiangfei's voluptuous figure, beautiful face, and noble yet disdainful arrogant expression made Jia Renyi's heart burn with desire.

For many heroes in the martial arts world, being received by Lou Xiangfei, the head of the Lou family, is already an unparalleled honor.

Not to mention being treated with a smile by her, or even having the chance to become in-laws?

Jia Renyi couldn't help but think that the more opportunities like this, the better.

Fortunately, there are many female disciples in the sect.

If the opportunity arises, it would be best to introduce all the female disciples in the sect to the handsome young man of the Lou family as wives and concubines.

That would further solidify his position within the Lou family.

Just as he was thinking about these things, Jia Renyi suddenly saw a figure appear not far in front of him.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that she was wearing the blue and white Taoist robes of the Sword Harmony Sect, and she was a woman.

Jia Renyi recognized the woman as Tong Yan's newly accepted disciple.

Her name appears to be Lin Jun.
