Chapter 673 Touching the Scale
"Senior brother seems to treat Lin Ping a little differently," Chu Rujun asked curiously.
In her eyes, Lin Hao was like an iceberg that never melts, a ruthless killer, yet he showed mercy to Lin Ping and even held high hopes for him.
Lin Hao nodded and said without hesitation, "This kid is glib, cunning, and vindictive, which is my type."
"Okay, okay, you're the senior brother, you're right..." Chu Rujun was speechless; she didn't think these were compliments.
Just as the two were chatting, two figures quickly approached; it was Jiang Lanfeng and Jiang Yunying.
"Senior brother..." Jiang Lanfeng said hesitantly, his head lowered.
The once aloof and cold Holy Maiden actually blushed?
"Oh? Didn't you find my son?" Lin Hao asked casually, without any hint of blame.
He had prepared for this when he sent Lin Ping away, after all, he himself was in danger and no one knew how long he would live.
"It's all because my junior sister is incompetent. Since we haven't found a marriage partner for our junior nephew, we can't just give up. Senior brother, why don't you just take Yunying away?" Jiang Lanfeng said shamelessly.
“Aunt…” Jiang Yunying looked at the other person with a wronged expression, not expecting Jiang Lanfeng to go to such an extreme.
But she was powerless to resist, after all, her senior uncle was too powerful, even with tens of thousands of soldiers, he could not save Lin Ping's life.
"Hehe..." Lin Hao scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, unsure how to respond for a moment.
He is the Holy Sect Master of Lotus Palace, whose status is above that of the Palace Master, so his word is law.
If Lin Ping fails to complete his mission and is still able to be with Jiang Yunying, it would damage his dignified image.
Besides, Jiang Lanfeng has been busy with this matter, so it wouldn't be good to go against her wishes directly.
But he really didn't want to break up the couple, and besides, it wasn't really a good idea to keep Jiang Yunying by his side.
Taking on disciples?
Sorry, he doesn't have time to teach martial arts.
To be a maid?
That would be unfair to the other person, and that's not like him.
"Yun Ying, your senior uncle will ask you one more time: are you willing to marry my son?" Lin Hao's voice turned cold and carried a strong sense of threat.
Even someone like Chu Rujun was afraid of this voice.
Jiang Yunying answered without hesitation with two words: "I don't want to!"
That's right, just two words, she doesn't want to say a single more. That's her attitude.
Lin Hao looked somewhat embarrassed and continued to lower his voice: "Are you really unwilling?"
"No!"
This time, it can be summed up in one word: clean and efficient.
If Lin Hao continued to ask, she would probably only be able to shake her head.
"Since you're unwilling, then... then..." Lin Hao pretended to be hesitant, actually trying to save face for himself.
He hasn't even found his son yet, so what right does he have to monopolize the beautiful Jiang Yunying? What if his wife finds out? He'll be kneeling on a washboard.
"My wife, I'm here!" Just then, Lin Ping rushed over angrily.
A pair of large hands gripped Jiang Yunying's delicate hand tightly, and he said to Lin Hao aggressively, "Lin Hao, you are, after all, a Holy Sect Master of Lotus Palace. You should act with integrity and uprightness. Why are you making things difficult for my wife?"
Lin Ping was angry not only because Lin Hao threatened Jiang Yunying, but also because he had been abandoned and ignored for twenty years.
These words immediately turned the atmosphere, which had just eased, into a tense standoff.
Lin Hao's expression turned cold again, and he swallowed back the words he was about to say.
"You audacious disciple, how dare you defy your senior master! Kneel down and apologize!" Chu Rujun said angrily.
She kept giving Lin Ping meaningful glances, as if to say, "Silly roe deer, don't cause trouble."
Lin Ping, unaware of what had happened before, puffed out his chest and said confidently, "What's wrong with my senior uncle? Isn't he human? Does he have to accept criticism for doing something wrong?"
"Even the current emperor is subject to impeachment by supervisory officials, let alone a mere Holy Emperor of the Lotus Palace?"
These words startled everyone, and Jiang Lanfeng almost slapped him.
“Husband, Master Uncle is not what you think. He is not a cold-blooded and heartless person,” Jiang Yunying whispered in Lin Ping’s ear.
There were some things Lin Hao didn't say, and Jiang Yunying didn't dare to presume to know his meaning, so she couldn't directly say that he had given up on the marriage.
"Not a cold-blooded and heartless person?" Lin Ping sneered, pressing him further, "Breaking up a loving couple doesn't count as being cold-blooded and heartless, and abandoning one's wife and children doesn't count as being cold-blooded and heartless?"
"You brat, you're asking for it!" Lin Hao's face was frosty, his anger reaching its peak.
He could tolerate the first half of Lin Ping's sentence, but the second half touched a nerve.
First of all, he did abandon his young child, and that statement struck a nerve.
Secondly, his love for his wife was such that he would not tolerate any insults from others.
Lin Ping came to this conclusion because Lin Fugui revealed the truth of the matter: Lin Hao did not bring his wife with him.
"Hmph, everyone in the world is afraid of you, but I, Lin Ping, am not!"
Lin Ping's anger was even greater than Lin Hao's, and he recklessly launched an attack.
"Chaos ensued!"
Lin Ping leaped and bounded about, his movements completely unpredictable, and in the blink of an eye, he was right next to Lin Hao.
"Does a Lotus Palace disciple also possess such movement techniques?" Lin Hao looked at Lin Ping in surprise, with a hint of anticipation.
"It's not over yet!" Lin Ping gripped his longsword and swooped down: "Blazing Sun and Fiery Blaze!"
This was still his ultimate move, which was enough to deal with ordinary Black Lotus Realm experts, but it was far inferior to a top expert like Lin Hao.
"Red Sun Sword Technique? You brat, who exactly are you?" Lin Hao asked in confusion.
Just as Lin Ping's sword strike was about to land, Lin Hao flicked his sleeve, easily deflecting his attack and knocking the sword away.
If it weren't for some curiosity about Lin Ping, he would already be dead.
"Husband, come back quickly, you can't beat your master!" Jiang Yunying cried out urgently.
She didn't know what had gotten into Lin Ping today, that he would actually challenge Lin Hao's authority, which was no different from suicide.
Or perhaps his smooth sailing in the previous months made him a little arrogant, and he forgot that his surname was Lin.
"Tell me quickly, what is your identity, and why do you know the Crimson Sun Sword Technique?" Lin Hao's eyes darkened, revealing a menacing killing intent.
"Want to know? Beat me first!" Lin Ping grew increasingly angry.
"Since you want to die, don't blame me for being impolite!" Lin Hao, his killing intent fully revealed, swiftly attacked Lin Ping.
Even with X-rays fully activated, Lin Ping couldn't detect the other party's figure. His reliance wasn't on that, but on the sword in its sheath.
brush!
A flash of white light, and the Moon Chasing Sword was drawn from its sheath.
Lin Ping didn't know Lin Hao's location. He just swung the Moon Chasing Sword wildly, confident that as long as he had the Moon Chasing Sword, even if he was weak, he wouldn't be hurt by Lin Hao.
As expected, Lin Hao stood blankly not far away, staring intently at the sword in Lin Ping's hand.
"The Moon Chasing Sword? How did the Moon Chasing Sword end up in your hands? Tell me, what have you done to my son?" Lin Hao's last shred of composure was instantly overwhelmed by urgency and anger.
