"By the way, have you heard of the Happy Sect?" Lu Ren asked while chewing on the fish. Lin Jinyan nodded calmly:"The Happy Sect is a force in Anhe County, not very powerful. I know you are worried about being retaliated by Master Huang Nan, but I can tell you responsibly now that there is no need to"

"Why?" Lu Ren looked at her curiously.

"According to the information I got, Huang Nan was taught by a female elder of the Huanxi Sect. He was very talented and was once regarded as the leader of the next generation of the Huanxi Sect."

"Then why did he defect? "

Lin Jinyan smiled softly and said,"Guess."

Lu Ren pondered for a moment and thought of a ridiculous possibility.

"Could it be that he wanted to commit treason and had some evil thoughts about his master?"

Lin Jinyan looked at him in surprise, then smiled coldly:"Men really understand men best. I think you and Huang Nan are just the same kind of people."

"It seems that I guessed right." Lu Ren didn't care about Lin Jinyan's ridicule.

"Yes, Huang Nan was not satisfied with the ordinary furnace, and was obsessed with wanting to practice dual cultivation with his master who had a special physique, so as to speed up the progress of cultivation."

"He really isn't afraid of death!"

Lin Jinyan said without comment.

"Huang Nan prepared a powerful drug to force himself on his master, but he underestimated his master's strength.

This ugly act was discovered on the spot. In a hurry, Huang Nan escaped from the Happy Sect and settled near Shanyin County half a year ago, where he established the Qingfeng Temple."

After listening to Huang Nan's experience, Lu Ren couldn't help but secretly smack his lips.

He didn't expect that this guy was actually a traitor to his master!

He had only seen similar plots in some pornographic novels in his previous life.

It really fits the saying that art comes from life!

"You stayed alone in Qingfeng Temple for so long during the day, what were you looking for?" Lin Jinyan asked suddenly.

Lu Ren acted very calmly:"I have my eyes on Huang Nan's gilded ball that can absorb mental power, but the one in his hand was destroyed by me, so I want to see if there are any extra ones."

Lin Jinyan stared at him straightly:"Just for the gilded ball?"

"Otherwise? If it weren't for the magic weapon, I would think it was unlucky to stay in that place for a moment longer."

"Regardless of whether you are telling the truth or not, I have to advise you that the Huanxi Sect is not a famous and upright sect, and the skills they pass down are all evil skills that will gradually corrode people's hearts. You must not get involved, otherwise..........."

"What else?"

"The Demon Suppression Division will not tolerate you." Lin Jinyan warned coldly.

Lu Ren smiled awkwardly and nodded:"Master Lin, you can rest assured, I am a gentleman! Even if I have no skills to practice in this life, I will never practice those evil ways."

Lin Jinyan stared into his eyes, always feeling that this guy didn't say a word of truth.

But.......For the sake of this fresh fish soup tonight, I will trust him for now.

"You'd better keep your word! If one day I find that you violate the prohibition of the Demon Suppression Bureau, I will personally deal with you!"

Lu Ren:"........Lord Lin, you are a woman after all. If you are always so serious and rigid, and keep talking about fighting and killing and the prohibitions of the Demon Suppression Division all day long, you may not be able to get married in the future."

Lin Jinyan glared at him fiercely:"So what if you are a woman? The meaning of my existence has never been to marry or to please anyone. I have my own way of living and my own path to follow, and no one can interfere with my choice!"

Lu Ren saw that she seemed a little excited.

Could it be that his joke just now just hit her sore spot?

"Ahem~~ You didn’t join the Demon Suppression Division just to escape your marriage, did you?"

Lin Jinyan blushed and fell silent.

It seems that I guessed it right!

"Then when you return to Huashui County this time, you will inevitably meet your family members. Aren't you worried?........"

Lin Jinyan smiled bitterly and said,"I've gotten used to it. Even if I don't go back, they will send me letters regularly, urging me to go back and get married quickly, and they will let me do whatever I want."

"It's ridiculous. They really think I don't know that once we get married, I have no say in anything."

"Why?" Lu Ren frowned:"Could it be that your fiancé is very powerful?"

Lin Jinyan said"hmm" softly:"He is the eldest son of Sikong Qi, the governor of Tianchen Prefecture, and Sikong Luan"

"The son of the governor?" Lu Ren's eyes widened.

This background is indeed a bit scary.

The Lin family behind Lin Jinyan is just one of the major families in Huashui County.

If the marriage can be facilitated with the Governor's Office, it will indeed help the Lin family to become the absolute overlord of Huashui County.

Under such huge temptations of interests, the Lin family only tried their best to persuade, rather than force Lin Jinyan to marry Sikong Luan.

From this point of view alone, the person at the helm of the Lin family is not bad.

In fact, there is no right or wrong in the conflict between Lin Jinyan and the Lin family.

Lin Jinyan does not want to get married, which is her freedom, and others should not interfere.

But marrying with the Governor's Office will undoubtedly play a significant role in promoting the development and growth of a local family.

In the final analysis, this is a conflict between personal interests and family interests.

"Do you also think I am unfilial?" Lin Jinyan took out a pot of wine from somewhere and started drinking.

"My father, as the head of the family, was caught between me and many of the clan members, but I could do nothing........I really don't want to be a caged bird in the deep palace. I want to pursue the path in my heart........"

Lu Ren stared at the beautiful face that was flushed with alcohol.

"You are not wrong, you are just not strong enough."

Lin Jinyan put down the wine pot and looked at him with a dazed look:"What do you mean?"

Lu Ren said seriously:"The reason why your father, or your Lin family, wants you to marry into the Governor's Mansion is naturally because they see the many benefits that the relationship with the Governor can bring to the Lin family."

"I know this, so I never blame them."

"Have you ever thought that if one day you are strong enough to rival the Governor's Mansion, then the three words"Lin Jinyan" will be the greatest glory of your Lin family!"

Lin Jinyan's eyes darkened, and she took another gulp of strong liquor.

"cough cough~~"

She doesn't like to drink normally, and only drinks when she is upset and worried.

Alcohol can make her forget all her worries for a short time.

"Do you know how powerful the Governor's Office is? Haha, you still want to be on par with the Governor's Office, it's just a big joke!"

Lin Jinyan laughed at herself.

But this laugh was full of bitterness and powerlessness.

"Don't drink anymore." Lu Ren snatched the wine jug from her hand.

"Give it back to me!" Lin Jinyan stood up drunkenly and tried to snatch the wine jug back.

Lu Ren simply raised his head and drank the remaining half of the wine in one breath.

"Take it and play with it." He returned the empty wine bottle to Lin Jinyan in a tone like coaxing a child.

The latter shook the wine bottle vigorously, then glared at Lu Ren with a face full of resentment:"It’s gone!"

Lu Ren taunted mercilessly:"With your alcohol tolerance, if you drink more, I’m afraid you will have sex after drinking"

"Nonsense, I can drink a lot!"Lin Jinyan shouted unconvinced

"You can't even stand steadily, you should go back and rest early."

Lu Ren helped her walk to her residence.

Halfway through, Lin Jinyan was drunk, her pretty face flushed as she struggled to break free from Lu Ren's arm, then drew the sword from her waist, pointed the blade at Lu Ren, and shouted:"Stupid, do you dare to fight with me?"
