Chapter 244 – Don’t even think about it, you brat!
This brat, relying on the Sect Master's backing, respects no one.
Nangong Wu was furious but helpless. He couldn't just beat him up again; if something happened, he couldn't bear the responsibility.
The Sect Master would probably skin him alive.
But apologizing to Lin Jichen? That was out of the question. He couldn't swallow his pride.
Even getting beaten by the Sect Master was better than admitting defeat.
But at this moment, Lin Jichen spoke again, "I don't have to report it, but Elder Nangong, you must promise me that this ends here. No more personal vendettas, okay?"
Nangong Wu's old face turned red. He coughed twice and said, "Fine, let's drop it. Consider yourself lucky."
Lin Jichen grinned, his swollen cheeks making his smile look ridiculous.
This was exactly what he wanted.
How could he dare tell Leng Feiyan about this? What if she asked why Nangong Wu beat him up?
Could he say it was because he hugged Nangong Wu's daughter, which made him furious?
If he said that, he would be completely done for.
He was just using this to scare Nangong Wu, borrowing the Sect Master's authority to prevent any further trouble from him.
"Good, Elder Nangong, shouldn't you show some sincerity?" Lin Jichen made a gesture towards Nangong Wu.
Nangong Wu angrily retorted, "Brat, are you trying to extort me?"
"No, no, look at my injuries. Do you have any good medicine? Otherwise, if I go out like this and my senior sister sees..." Lin Jichen trailed off.
Speak of the devil.
Nangong Yue, worried that Lin Jichen hadn't returned for a long time, came looking for him.
Seeing Lin Jichen beaten so badly, Nangong Yue immediately burst into tears.
"Junior brother, are you okay?"
Nangong Yue ran to Lin Jichen, touching his face with a look of deep concern in her eyes.
"Senior sister, I'm fine," Lin Jichen had to act nonchalant.
Nangong Yue felt even more heartbroken, her lips pouting as she turned to glare at her father.
Watching his daughter gently tend to Lin Jichen's wounds, applying medicine and healing him.
With Nangong Yue's care, Lin Jichen's minor injuries quickly healed.
Nangong Wu felt as if he had eaten dozens of lemons, his stomach churning with sourness.
At this moment, Elder Tianyuan walked in, seeing Nangong Wu's pained expression and laughing heartily.
Seeing Nangong Wu's discomfort made him inexplicably happy.
"Father, why are you so happy? Aren't you going to say something to her?" Nangong Wu asked, puzzled by his father's smiling face.
Elder Tianyuan chuckled, "What should I say? Every generation has its own blessings. Besides, if you, as her father, can't make her listen, why should I, as her grandfather, upset my granddaughter and make her angry? Besides, it's normal for her to have romantic feelings at her age."
"That's not right. Traditionally, marriages are arranged by parents. How can she be so impulsive, getting so close to Lin Jichen after knowing him for less than a month? It's too unreserved, making it seem like no one wants my daughter," Nangong Wu complained.
"I tried to advise her before, but it didn't work. Just let it go. If you want to advise her, do it yourself. Don't drag me into it. I've come to terms with it," Elder Tianyuan said with a smile.
Nangong Wu had no choice but to handle it himself. He changed the subject and asked Lin Jichen, "Brat, what are you doing at Spirit Beast Mountain?"
"Oh, I came for three things. First, to visit my senior sister and see if she had returned," Lin Jichen said.
Nangong Yue blushed, clearly pleased.
Nangong Wu's face darkened. Flirting with his daughter right in front of him? Damn it!
"Now that you've seen her, what's the second thing?" Nangong Wu asked impatiently.
"Oh, the second thing is that I was ordered by my master to investigate the Sword Pavilion and discovered..." Lin Jichen reported the situation.
Elder Tianyuan and Nangong Wu were already aware of this, so they weren't too surprised.
"The Sword Sect has already sent people to the Sword Pavilion. They should find the culprit soon. This is a serious matter, and your cultivation is too low. Don't get involved to avoid getting into trouble," Elder Tianyuan said with a smile. He had changed his opinion of Lin Jichen after seeing his actions at the Sword Pavilion.
This kid wasn't so bad after all.
"And the third thing?" Nangong Wu asked again.
Lin Jichen honestly replied, "The last thing is that I want to collaborate with Elder Tianyuan's Spirit Beast Garden, to allow me to sell the pets from the garden."
Elder Tianyuan instantly exploded, "Impossible! Don't even think about it, you brat!"
The little bit of improved impression he had was instantly shattered.
This brat was still so annoying!
