The Government Assigns A Daughter-In-Law, Which Needs To Be Chosen?

Chapter 54: System Prompt Rings Again

Once again, familiar words, familiar actions, and a familiar brocade box.

Lin Fan didn't know how to react for a moment, just staring blankly at Jian Ling.

"Brother Lin, what's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face?"

Facing his direct gaze, even Jian Ling, with her cheerful personality, couldn't remain calm at this moment. She slightly blushed and touched her own cheek.

"No, there's nothing dirty."

Lin Fan shook his head, realizing that he was being a bit rude. Staring at a girl like this was impolite in ancient society and could even be seen as lewd behavior.

"Then what is it?"

Jian Ling didn't suspect anything, but she still felt a bit puzzled.

"If I tell you, you might not believe it. The things you said and did today are exactly the same as what happened a few days ago when I encountered Dao Miaomiao. It's like a template."

Lin Fan smiled bitterly and then explained what happened with Dao Miaomiao.

Such a trivial matter didn't need to be concealed.

Jian Ling furrowed her brows slightly upon hearing this, then spoke up, "It seems like a coincidence indeed, but she is her, and I am me. Although there are similarities, we are different."

"Naturally, I just find it a bit coincidental, nothing more."

Lin Fan nodded and smiled. It really was just a surprising coincidence.

Jian Ling didn't dwell on this topic and brought up the previous topic again.

"The information we cooperated on last time was leaked. There was indeed a traitor in our Divine Sword Villa, but they have been dealt with. Such incidents won't happen again in the future."

Jian Ling said, this was the explanation she came to give Lin Fan, to eliminate the unpleasantness caused by the incident.

After explaining, she pointed to the brocade box she had taken out. "As for this, it's a compensation for the trouble caused to you."

"I've already forgotten about the incident last time, so you don't need to worry about it. As long as it doesn't happen again in the future, it's fine."

Lin Fan shook his head. "As for compensation, there's no need. After all, you didn't want such a thing to happen either."

"Thank you for your understanding."

Jian Ling smiled. "But I still want to give you this compensation. It's also a token of my appreciation. It's a rare metal from beyond the sky. I hope you'll like it."

"A rare metal from beyond the sky?"

Lin Fan had intended to refuse. Money and wealth were enough, and there was no need to owe others any favors because of this.

But he didn't expect that what the other party gave him was not money or wealth, but a rare metal from beyond the sky.

Rare metals from beyond the sky, also known as celestial meteorite, were special metals that could withstand the burning when breaking through the atmosphere. Many of them were treasures used to forge divine weapons.

Lin Fan had actually planned to ask the other party to help him find some, and he would pay or contribute his efforts to exchange for them.

But he didn't expect that the other party would offer it without him saying anything.

Was this a case of telepathy?

Lin Fan muttered in his heart, and his gaze towards the other party changed slightly.

Faced with this change in gaze, Jian Ling's cheeks blushed again, but quickly returned to normal. She smiled and pushed the brocade box containing the celestial meteorite in front of Lin Fan.

This piece of celestial meteorite wasn't large, at most enough to forge a short sword. Its surface was pitted like a honeycomb, with unique burn marks and a different luster from ordinary metals. It was something that no one would notice if it was thrown on the side of the road.

But with just a glance, Lin Fan knew that it was an extremely strong metal material, more than enough to forge the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle, a hidden weapon.

However, Lin Fan felt that it would be a waste to use it to forge the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle. He planned to use it to create an even more powerful weapon.

"Thank you for your kind gesture. I really like this gift, so I won't be polite."

Lin Fan did need this piece of metal, so he didn't refuse the other party's goodwill and accepted the gift.

"I'm glad you like it."

Seeing Lin Fan accept the gift, Jian Ling smiled with satisfaction.

She felt that Lin Fan really liked her. She had prepared this gift for a long time.

Obtaining this piece of celestial meteorite had cost her a lot of effort. But now, it seemed that it was all worth it.

For Jian Ling, Lin Fan was not only someone who could increase her influence at home, but also her lifesaver.

Especially the latter, for a female knight who aspires to be chivalrous, it is the most important point to consider.

In this era, many ways of repaying a life-saving favor involve offering oneself.

Although she is not so casual, with the favor of saving her life, her fondness for Lin Fan is indeed very high.

Every interaction between the two makes her feel very good, even a bit infatuated. That's why she has come so many times in such a short period.

It is not only because of the circumstances, but also because of her subconscious infatuation.

Of course,

Lin Fan himself is unaware of the idea of marrying a wealthy woman.

Now that he has received the carefully prepared gift from the other party, he starts to think about what kind of powerful weapon would be most suitable.

But he shouldn't neglect the other party either. After thinking for a moment, he put it away and said to Jian Ling, who gave him the gift, "Miss Jian Ling, since you rarely come, and you brought a gift, let's have a meal together at home today. Consider it my way of showing hospitality as the host."

"That's not a problem."

Jian Ling nodded in agreement and accepted the invitation to have a meal together.

"You two should come too."

Lin Fan turned to the maid Xiaoqing and the second shopkeeper in charge of communication and invited them as well.

"Thank you, Master Lin."

The two naturally wouldn't refuse and thanked him while accepting the invitation.

With an important guest coming to have a meal at home, all three wives of Lin Fan prepared diligently.

In other aspects, Lin Fan's wives may have some shortcomings, but they are very good at being gentle and virtuous.

Every time guests come to the house, they take care of them very thoughtfully.

The meal went smoothly, without any waves. Only at the dining table, Xiaoqing occasionally looked at her young lady and the actions of Lin Fan's wives with a strange expression.

But no one noticed, and they spent a pleasant lunch with laughter and conversation.

"This is for you, consider it my return gift to you. It can be used for self-defense."

After having lunch, when Lin Fan personally escorted Jian Ling to the door, he handed her a well-crafted Rainstorm Pear Needle.

"What is this?"

Jian Ling reached out and took it, seeing a strange metal cylinder, and asked.

Lin Fan replied, "This is a hidden weapon, called the Rainstorm Pear Needle. It can release countless golden needles to cause damage within a certain range. Even a top-notch expert would be seriously injured when caught off guard."

Although it is a defective product, with the blessing of the Max Level Divine Craftsman, it can indeed cause harm to top-notch experts when caught off guard.

As for someone like Tielang Shui Shangpiao, it can completely deliver a devastating blow.

"It can harm top-notch experts?"

When Jian Ling heard Lin Fan's introduction, her eyes brightened.

Top-notch experts.

In the martial world, they are already considered top-notch, and only the Four Supreme Powers can surpass them.

Other forces have to be extremely cautious when facing such high-level experts.

The gift that Lin Fan gave her can actually harm this level of existence, although it requires catching them off guard. But if used well, it is definitely a powerful weapon.

In the future, when traveling the martial world, she will also have a powerful trump card for self-protection.

Such a gift is not just a return gift, but also carries the intention behind it.

The care and comfort she receives.

"Thank you."

Jian Ling smiled happily, like a brilliant summer flower.

Lin Fan was slightly distracted. He had to admit that her smile was even more beautiful than Dao Miaomiao's smile before.

But it doesn't mean that Dao Miaomiao is inferior. In terms of figure, the other party is definitely superior.

Ding dong!

"Detected extremely high beauty value in this woman. If the host can marry her, special items beyond rewards will be provided!"

Just as Lin Fan was lost in Jian Ling's beautiful smile, the system prompt, which had been silent for a long time, sounded again.
