Chapter 294: Chapter 294 What I Gave

Shen Lingdie obediently nodded her head.

Chen Fan looked at the girl with some sympathy, remembering how, back in Jiang City, he had thought Shen Lingdie was just playing around, which is why she had run away from home. He felt a bit embarrassed, having tried to persuade her to return with Cang Long.

"She probably became good friends with Qingyan because they share a similar fate," Chen Fan thought to himself.

Tian Ying glanced at Chen Fan and said, "Don’t say things so unpleasantly. Although Master Lu is quite old, he is well-known in Harbor Island as the top practitioner in spells. Patriarch Shen agreed to this marriage also considering Master Lu’s background and strength. If the young miss marries him, it wouldn’t be a loss."

Shen Lingdie immediately said, "I don’t want that!"

Her eyes fixed on Tian Ying, "Ying, whose side are you really on? Why do you always speak up for that old man?"

Tian Ying gave an awkward smile and said, "Miss, I’m just thinking about your well-being. After all, taking all factors into consideration, this isn’t a bad thing."

Shen Lingdie huffed, "This is a bad thing, and I’m going to marry Chen Fan in the future!"

She turned to Chen Fan and said earnestly, "Chen Fan, you will marry me in the future, right?"

Chen Fan could guess that if he said he wouldn’t now, the girl might just burst into tears. To avoid trouble, he changed the subject, "I agree with you opposing your family’s decision. As a friend, I can help you settle this matter."

Shen Lingdie showed a smile, "I just knew it, you wouldn’t want me to marry someone else!"

Chen Fan: "..."

Tian Ying looked disdainful, "You’re going to settle this matter? Didn’t you hear what I just said? Lu Jiuxuan, Master Lu, is the number one in spells in Gang City! Do you think you can handle it?"

Chen Fan smiled and said, "It shouldn’t be a big problem."

Tian Ying was speechless, thinking this guy was too arrogant. Who did he think he was, claiming it wouldn’t be a big problem? If he really faced Master Lu, he wouldn’t even know how he died!

Beside them, Qi Heng showed a face of excitement, thinking that the Sword Array deployed by Fan could definitely match Lu Jiuxuan’s Formation, and if the two confronted each other, it would surely result in an unprecedented battle of wits.

Chen Fan looked at Shen Lingdie and said, "Let’s rest at the hotel tonight. Tomorrow, I’ll take you home to see if we can convince your elders. If they won’t listen, then I’ll go find that Lu Jiuxuan and make him give up the idea of marrying you."

Shen Lingdie nodded seriously, "Okay!"

Tian Ying, however, said, "Miss, think it through. If you go back this time, you might never get the chance to leave again."

Shen Lingdie, looking confidently at Chen Fan, said, "I believe in Chen Fan!"

After eating, it was already evening, and the four of them returned to the hotel.

The two rooms that Qi Heng had booked were next to each other. Arriving at the door, Shen Lingdie blinked her big eyes at Chen Fan and said, "Chen Fan, I want to sleep with you."

Chen Fan said, "No."

Shen Lingdie said, "Oh."

Then she went to the other room with Tian Ying.

Watching this scene, Qi Heng couldn’t help but feel, "Poor Shen Family’s young miss, played like a fiddle by Fan."

The next morning.

The group of four headed towards the Shen Family’s location.

Shen Family estate.

In the hall where discussions were held.

Patriarch Shen Ronghua was sitting on the Taishi Chair, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, and the tea beside him had gone cold.

Sitting next to him was a middle-aged man with a square face and a beard.

This person was Lu Jiuxuan’s eldest disciple, Zhang Beiyuan, whose strength had reached the realm of a Seven-turn True Person and was also a well-known master in the Gang City realm of magic.

Shen Lingdie’s mother, Dong Xiaoran, couldn’t help but wipe her tears and sob, "My foolish daughter, I have no idea where she has run off to; she has never suffered a hardship all her life. She didn’t take her phone or any money when she went out. I don’t know if she was frozen last night."

Shen Ronghua let out a cold harrumph, "Can’t you stop crying? It’s annoying to listen to. Even if she really suffered from the cold and hunger outside, it’s her own doing!"

Zhang Beiyuan’s face turned somewhat unsightly as he spoke coldly, "Patriarch Shen, it was you who personally agreed to this marriage with my master. I hope you find your daughter as soon as possible, otherwise, if my master’s reputation is affected, it will be your Shen Family that suffers."

Shen Ronghua forced a smile, "Don’t worry, Brother Zhang. I have already sent out all the Shen Family members to look for that girl. Gang City is not that big; I believe it won’t take long to find her and bring her back."

At this point, Dong Xiaoran sighed and blamed, "If I had known this would happen, I should have refused this marriage proposal from the beginning. Lingdie is our daughter, whom we’ve raised from a young age. She doesn’t like it herself, why must we force her, making her run away from home. I’m almost worried to death."

Shen Ronghua’s expression changed as he rebuked, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of Brother Zhang!"

Zhang Beiyuan’s expression also turned cold as he glanced at Dong Xiaoran and said, "Madam Shen, what you just said is not proper. It’s an honor for your Shen Family that my master has taken a fancy to your daughter. Have you considered the consequences of refusing my master?"

Shen Ronghua quickly said, "Brother Zhang is right. This wife of mine must be going insane to say such things. Please don’t take it to heart. It’s our Shen Family who wants to form ties with Master Lu, which is why we agreed to the marriage. It’s our ancestors’ good fortune that Master Lu has taken a liking to my daughter."

Zhang Beiyuan’s countenance finally eased a bit as he coldly said, "Good that you understand."

With contempt in her heart, Dong Xiaoran thought, Your master is nothing but an old lecher who bullies others by flaunting his strength. If not for fear of his power, why would our Shen Family ever put up with such treatment?

However, she knew the consequences of angering Zhang Beiyuan, so she swallowed all the grievances and anger in her heart.

Just then, a servant came running in, "Master, Madam, the young miss has returned!"

Both Shen Ronghua and Dong Xiaoran immediately stood up at the news.

"Where did you find her?" asked Shen Ronghua.

The servant replied, "We didn’t find her. The young miss came back on her own, and she brought two other people with her."

Shen Ronghua’s brows furrowed, and he hurriedly walked outside.

Dong Xiaoran and Zhang Beiyuan followed him out.

In the courtyard, Shen Lingdie was hiding behind Chen Fan, cautiously watching the Shen Family members.

Upon coming out, Shen Ronghua burst into cursing, "You dead girl, you still have the face to come back!"

Grasping the hem of Chen Fan’s clothes, Shen Lingdie said, "I came back to tell you, I will never marry that old man!"

Shen Ronghua snorted coldly, "This marriage has been decided, it’s not up to you to say you won’t marry! Who gave you the gall to say such words in front of me!"

Shen Lingdie looked towards Chen Fan.

Chen Fan said indifferently, "I did!"
