Chapter 1972: End of the Wedding Agreement
The Pei Clan members stared at Lin Feng. The Pei Clan was a very powerful clan and had incredibly strong cultivators, but with the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures, they would become even stronger. For a whole clan, having such scriptures was very tempting. The elders of the Pei Clan all dreamt of having the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures.
A marriage alliance was good for two clans to become stronger. But with the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures, they could become stronger on their own!
The crowd remained silent. Evidently, the elders of the Pei Clan were tempted.
The old man looked at Lin Feng, remained silent for a few seconds and finally smiled coldly, “You’re joking, I don’t believe you would be ready to abandon the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures?”
“I have only one brother. If you accept, I’ll give you the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures. If you accept, you have to cancel the wedding,” Lin Feng said quietly.
“Don’t try to fool us!” The elder tried to came back to his senses. If Lin Feng really wanted to give up the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures, why didn’t he go straight to the Yin Clan, why did he come to the Pei Clan? Even if the Pei Clan agreed, took the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures and canceled the wedding, the Yin Clan would hate Lin Feng even more.
“Even if we cancel the wedding, your brother won’t be able to marry Yin Yue.”
“I’ll be fair to both parties.” said Lin Feng smiling indifferently. The members of the Yin Clan were stupefied. Did Lin Feng want to give them the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures too?
The elder of the Pei Clan remained silent for a few seconds, he didn’t know what Lin Feng was thinking. But then he smiled, “Give me the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures first.”
“Do you think the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures are a toy? Say it publicly, if I give you the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures, you agree to cancel the wedding,” replied Lin Feng calmly. The elder’s eyes kept glittering. He perfectly knew well that if he accepted publicly, he’d offend the Yin Clan, but for the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures…
After a few seconds, the elder of the Pei Clan looked at Yin Rui and said, “Brother Yin Rui, if we obtain the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures, we will give them to you as a sign of respect.”
Yin Rui was stupefied. Then, the elder of the Pei Clan looked at Lin Feng and said, “Alright, if you agree to pay with the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures, the Pei Clan will cancel the wedding,” agreed the elder of the Pei Clan finally.
The Yin Clan would understand. And in any case, it wasn’t a firm statement, if they didn’t obtain the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures, they wouldn’t cancel the wedding.
Lin Feng smiled and said, “You’re wise. For the well-being of your clan, you prefer canceling the wedding.”
The elder looked at Lin Feng, his eyes were gleaming and said, “What about the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures?”
“I need to think,” smiled Lin Feng.
“You’re trying to trick me?” said the elder of the Pei Clan releasing ice-cold energies.
“Master, I haven’t promised anything yet,” said Lin Feng. All the members of the Pei Clan pulled a long face. One of them jumped forwards and released purple energies towards Lin Feng. It was Pei Dong Lai!
“I came here to congratulate the Pei Clan, is that how you treat your guests?” said Lin Feng mockingly.
The elder of the Pei Clan waved and said, “Dong Lai!”
Pei Dong Lai recalled his Qi, but he was really furious. During the Pathfinder Day, he hadn’t been able to do anything, and now Lin Feng had come to the Pei Clan to cause trouble.
“Brother Yin Rui, I’m sorry for all this. I will send people to the Yin Clan to apologize,” said the elder of the Pei Clan to Yin Rui apologetically.
“Let’s continue planning the wedding, we can’t be influenced by rude and useless young people,”said Yin Rui icily.
Lin Feng looked at Yin Rui and smiled, “Master Yin Rui, if you really want the wedding to happen, I’ll secretly give the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures to the Pei Clan during the wedding. You heard what the elder of the Pei Clan just said, and you can imagine what the consequences would be,”said Lin Feng.
The faces of the members of the Pei Clan and the Yin Clan stiffened when they heard Lin Feng. The Pei Clan had just admitted they were ready to cancel the wedding if Lin Feng gave them the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures. Their elder knew that Lin Feng was trying to trick him, but he had still said he would cancel the wedding if he obtained the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures.
“What a sly and evil bastard! The Pei Clan doesn’t want to see you here!” said the strong cultivator of the Pei Clan. Pei Dong Lai was furious.
Lin Feng smiled and said, “Alright, since the Pei Clan expels guests, I’m off, see you!”
Then, Lin Feng turned around and walked back to the gate with Lin Wu Shang. People’s faces changed drastically.
“Master Yin Rui, think about what I said. If the Pei Clan is willing to cancel the wedding for the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures, the Yin Clan could also go back on their words too and make Yin Yue and Wu Shang marry. That wouldn’t be impolite since the Pei Clan isn’t serious about the wedding. And in the future, I will give the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures to Yin Yue and Wu Shang’s children, they’ll also go to the Yin Clan, they’ll come see you and the other elders, the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures will keep being transmitted to everyone in the clan,” said Lin Feng loudly.
Yin Rui’s heart was pounding. Now the Yin Clan had an opportunity.
“And as I said, if the wedding happens, I will give the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures to the Pei Clan on the day of the wedding. I will do it secretly. Master Yin Rui, you can gamble if you want as well. if I give them the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures, will they cancel the wedding at the last minute? You can decide.”
Lin Feng slowly disappeared in the distance. The members of the Pei Clan were all furious. Lin Feng had tricked them!
If Yin Rui really wanted the wedding to happen, one possibility was that on the day of the wedding, the Pei Clan would receive the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures and would cancel it at the last minute.
If Yin Rui canceled the wedding, maybe some years later, Lin Feng and the Yin Clan would be friends. Yin Yue would bring the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures back to the Yin Clan quite often for everybody to study.
But it seemed too simple, even stupid people would choose the second option. Just like Lin Feng had said, the Pei Clan cared more about the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures and they had said it openly, so if the Yin Clan canceled the wedding, it wouldn’t be rude.
“Lin Feng is smart. A few sentences and he can make things change,” muttered some guests to one another. Some of them were laughing on the inside. All of this had nothing to do with them, but they found such situations amusing. And besides, many other ancient clans hoped the Pei Clan and the Yin Clan wouldn’t become allies.
Any clan would have done the same thing as the Pei Clan, they all would have chosen the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures. Those people cared about profit more than anything, that’s how Lin Feng had come up with his plan.
Who could refuse Ancient Holy Scriptures, especially the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures? The Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures could help anyone become stronger and even more talented.
Lin Feng had left, and now Yin Rui had to make a decision. Everybody looked at Yin Rui. He had mixed feelings and didn’t know what to think. If Lin Feng really gave the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures to the Pei Clan on the day of the wedding, would they refuse? Of course not. He knew it. So Lin Feng was threatening him by doing that.
If you cancel the wedding, we can be friends, we become like a family.
The future of the Yin Clan was now in Yin Rui’s hands.
“Brother Yin Rui, don’t listen to that bastard,” said the elder of the Pei Clan when he saw that Yin Rui’s eyes were glittering.
“Brother Pei, have you forgotten what you’ve just said?” said Yin Rui indifferently and raised his head. The face of the Pei Clan’s elder stiffened.
“Lin Feng is sly. Brother Yin Rui, you’ve seen it too.”
“I did, and he will probably continue. You may even obtain the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures. I’m sorry, but I can’t gamble putting my clan at stake. I’m off,” said Yin Rui coldly. He bowed before the elders of the Pei Clan and waved at the people of his own clan, they were leaving!
The members of the Pei Clan were stupefied. They had offended the Yin Clan? But the Yin Clan would have done the same thing…
Anyone would have done that…
“Lin Feng!” The elders of the Pei Clan looked furious and released Qi.
“Brother Pei, see you!”
“See you!”
The other guests also left. The members of the Pei Clan felt really awkward. Very quickly, there was nobody left, but there were many tables still laden with alcohol and food everywhere.
The members of the Pei Clan were furious. The temperature dropped and the wind whistled, but it didn’t matter anymore.
Of course, all this had nothing to do with Lin Feng anymore. He had done all he could. If this plan failed, he’d find another way. He wouldn’t hesitate to resort to even more cruel methods.
What had happened on that day quickly spread across the region. In the Yin Clan, a young woman was smiling widely at Lin Feng’s actions.
