Chapter 110 Leaving the City
That's outrageous!
Luo Sifan felt resentful and powerless, staring intently at Zhen Su with a deep gaze, unable to utter a word for a moment.
Zhen Suyu lightly waved her hand, took away the scroll, and shamelessly comforted the thunderstruck Luo Sifan:
"Young Master Lin, this is truly wonderful news! A large and prosperous family is what everyone desires. Young Master Lin doesn't require a dowry now, and in the future, you won't need to personally raise and educate them. Our entire city of nearly ten thousand people will dedicate its full resources to nurturing these children into an elite lineage. In ten years or so, Young Master Lin's children will surely soar to great heights, standing out from the crowd..."
With her eyebrows dancing, Zhen Su became more and more excited and confident as she spoke.
"Stop! Stop! Lord Zhen, there are so many men in the world, why did you have to choose me and make me do...do so much all by myself?!"
With over four hundred children, the debt of gratitude was as heavy as a mountain. Luo Sifan couldn't think of a suitable solution in a short time. Feeling extremely frustrated, he frowned and angrily questioned Zhen Su.
Zhen Su's eyes darted around. Not daring to reveal the white-clad beauty's involvement in the affair in just a few words, she gracefully stood up and unexpectedly knelt down before Luo Sifan.
"Young Master Lin, please don't be offended. It was the elders of this city who saw your extraordinary talent and the potential to save the lineage of Fangyuan City from extinction. Your children will be able to connect the two realms, spreading the remaining people of our Xuantian Continent to the world of Yunzhou, thus continuing the bloodline of Xuantian..."
Zhen Su's expression changed in an instant, looking distressed and as if she had let Luo Sifan down.
Luo Sifan wasn't buying it and watched her performance with a cold laugh:
"Lord Zhen, you have gone too far in this matter, yet you speak of it so lightly. Who can guarantee that these children can communicate between the two realms? Who can guarantee that these children can grow up peacefully, free from discrimination and abuse?"
As Luo Sifan spoke, his head grew increasingly throbbing, and he shouted angrily, completely forgetting his own status as a prey to others.
Zhao Lingfei listened intently from under the covers. Her anger had been rising ever since her mother knelt down, and now she couldn't hold back any longer. She threw off the covers and jumped out.
Her hair was disheveled, her face thinned, and she stood with her hands on her hips, pointing a dagger at Luo Sifan:
"You surnamed Lin! You're all about shifting the blame after you've had your fun! I, Zhao Lingfei, will raise my child myself. I don't need you, you cheap bastard, to take any responsibility!"
He angrily stepped forward, grabbed Zhen Su, and tried to help her up, his eyes reddening:
"Mother! It's not worth behaving so despicably in front of these people! Get up and let's talk!"
Zhen Su was secretly delighted, but she remained lying on the ground and refused to get up. She turned her head and gave Zhao Lingfei a good scolding:
"Ling Fei! Young Master Lin has shown great kindness and virtue to Fangyuan City. How can you be so rude! Get out of here at once!"
When Zhao Lingfei appeared, Luo Sifan was speechless. He still vividly remembered how Zhao Lingfei had ruthlessly destroyed the flower and taken the lead.
After being fiercely rebuked by Zhao Lingfei, Luo Sifan's face turned pale and then red. He had nowhere to vent his anger. The word "sperm" came out of Zhao Lingfei's mouth so decisively that it hurt him more than reality.
The mother and daughter kept pushing and shoving each other in front of Luo Sifan, one feigning affection and the other being sincere, making Luo Sifan feel irritable and cold.
Unable to bear it any longer, he slammed his fist on the table and stood up, coldly shouting:
"Fine! Out of sight, out of mind. Lord Zhen, I hope you will keep your promise and send me out of the city!"
Zhen Su was waiting for him to say those words, so she immediately gripped Zhao Lingfei's hands tightly, secretly giving him a meaningful look, and gracefully stood up:
"Young Master Lin, you are too kind. As a distinguished guest of our city, you are free to come and go as you please. No one in the surrounding area intends to cause you any trouble. There are over four hundred of your descendants in the city; if you ever feel troubled, you are welcome to return and visit them at any time..."
Luo Sifan waved his hand, too lazy to listen to Zhen Su's sweet talk anymore, and just wanted to get away from this family.
“I know perfectly well, Lord Zhen, there’s no need for further words. May I ask where my companions are now?”
Mentioning Shu Hongyi and Lin Qianxiu, Zhen Su couldn't help but have a slightly ambiguous expression. Thinking back on the outrageous things the white-clad beauty had done, she felt bewildered and a little guilty, saying:
“Young Master Lin, those two women… left the city a day ago. As for the man who accompanied them, he is currently waiting in the guest room.”
Luo Sifan glanced at her silently, but before she could speak, Zhao Lingfei interrupted, her lips moving to deliver a barrage of sarcastic remarks:
"Lin Xiaozhi! My mother is such a respected person, why would she need to use empty words to stop you? Your two lovers are of no use to Fangyuan City, what's the point of keeping them around? Let me give you a piece of advice, stop making a scene for yourself! Get out of the city sooner rather than later, maybe you can get together with your lovers sooner!"
Zhen Su patted Zhao Lingfei's hand gently, signaling her not to get too excited. Her expression was subtle, but she completely agreed with what Zhao Lingfei had said.
"Hmph! I'll take your words as true!"
Losfan stood up, bored.
"Thank you, Lord Zhen, for showing me the way!"
He didn't even bother to glance at Zhao Lingfei out of the corner of his eye.
Zhen Su understood her daughter's thoughts far better than Luo Sifan did. She sighed inwardly, whispered a few words to Zhao Lingfei, whose expression was fierce, before turning around and leading Luo Sifan out the door.
Zhao Lingfei bit her lip and watched Luo Sifan's figure disappear into the distance without any lingering affection. Anger surged in her heart, and she stood frozen in the pavilion for a long time, her mood only getting worse.
Zhen Su became much colder towards Luo Sifan along the way, leading Luo Sifan and Uncle Qiao to the inner courtyard gate as if they were plague carriers, and then turned and left.
Uncle Qiao had been in a deep sleep. When he woke up in the guest room, he was weak all over and obediently followed behind without saying much.
Stepping out of the inner courtyard, Uncle Qiao's spiritual energy gradually returned, and he asked Luo Sifan about the whereabouts of his young lady.
Luo Sifan was still looking absent-minded, but he perked up a bit after hearing this:
"Uncle Qiao, according to the people in the city, your young lady left this place a day ago. We'll probably have to put in some effort to find her now."
Inside and outside the council chamber, there was no one in sight. Not only were Shu Hongyi and Lin Qianxiu gone, but even the two followers who had been following Luo Sifan and Shu Hongyi, Jiang Wanfeng and Lu Juefei, were nowhere to be seen.
Uncle Qiao understood and stopped bothering Luo Sifan. He took out a Mingjiao Treasure Blade from his pocket, infused it with spiritual energy, and observed it silently for a while.
He then looked up in surprise, his expression hardening:
"Young Master Lin, my young lady is not here!"
Uncle Qiao tested the range of the treasure bladder after arriving in this realm. Although it was greatly restricted in this realm, it could still connect to Lin Qianxiu's golden treasure bladder within a range of more than ten miles.
Within the territory of Fangyuan City, the area is only about ten miles in circumference. If there is no movement, Lin Qianxiu should not be here anymore.
The premise is that she is not trapped by anyone and that the precious swim bladder is still on her body.
After hearing Uncle Qiao's explanation, Luo Sifan could only stand there and stare blankly.
There was no one around, no sign of anyone. Where could I possibly look for them? Should I go back to the First Realm and ask Miss Shi Zhen?
As they hesitated, both of them at a loss for what to do, a familiar voice faintly reached Luo Sifan's ear.
"Young Master Lin! What troubles you?"
Luo Sifan was annoyed at the sound, glaring at the suddenly fluctuating and strangely eerie void before him, and scoffed coldly:
"Grandpa Zhao, it's been a long time!"
