In Zhu Minglei's eyes, Xu Linyan's words were an insult to him.
"Good, good, good! He was indeed courageous! Since that's the case, let's do it!"
With that, he flicked his sleeves and turned to walk towards the courtyard outside.
Xu Linyan smiled faintly and was about to follow her. However, when he took a step forward, he found that his sleeve was grabbed by someone. He looked back and saw Ye Lanyun looking at him anxiously and worriedly.
Xu Linyan smiled gently and patted the back of the other party's hand. He said softly,"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Ye Lanyun gritted her teeth. She was anxious like an ant on a hot pan, but when she saw Xu Linyan's eyes, she felt relieved and subconsciously let go.
Xu Linyan looked up at his family members and gave them the same comforting smile. Finally, he nodded to Xu Chengshan and turned around to walk out.
Beside Xu Chengshan, Ye Zhizhu couldn't hold it in any longer and said anxiously,""Brother Xu, why aren't you stopping me? Did he really want to watch Lin Yan cause trouble?!”
Xu Chengshan smiled." It's okay. I believe Lin Yan knows his limits."”
"..." Ye Zhizhu was speechless. He didn't understand what was wrong with his old friend today.
Could it be that he was also angered silly by the Misty Moon Sect's actions of forcing him to break off the engagement?
Beside them, Wang Congyun and his son looked at each other with a hint of gloating and mockery in their eyes. They naturally hoped that the matter would be bigger and that the Xu family would be punished.
City Lord Qi Yuanjie was also silent, with the attitude of an outsider.
However, when he looked at Xu Linyan's back, a thoughtful look flashed across his eyes.
It felt like the Xu family was acting a little strange today…
At this moment, Zhu Minglei and Xu Linyan had already walked out of the hall, and everyone followed them.
Many people were discussing animatedly outside. Seeing Zhu Minglei come out, those who were close to him all stood up and retreated, leaving a spacious space in the middle of the courtyard.
Xu Chengshan and the others who came out of the hall stopped at the top of the steps in front of the hall.
Beside the crowd, Zhao Chunxia said to Zuo Jiyao with some worry,""Senior Brother Zuo, is there…a problem?”
Zuo Jiyao revealed a bitter smile and said,""I don't think so…Senior Brother Zhu should know his limits. Since his master had given Senior Brother Zhu a task, he would let Senior Brother Zhu decide.”
Zhu Minglei was the leader of the expedition this time. They were all junior brothers and sisters, so they could only listen to Zhu Minglei's arrangements.
The two of them looked at Ye Lanyun, who was standing beside Ye Zhizhu, feeling helpless.
Junior Sister Ye was already drawing a line between them.
……
Zhu Minglei walked to the middle of the courtyard and turned around to look at Xu Linyan, who had also walked down the steps. He said,"Xu Linyan, I accept your challenge as a disciple of the Misty Moon Sect. Furthermore, as I said before, I won't use True Qi. I'll compete with you using my fists and legs.”
He paused for a moment and changed the topic."However…fists and feet have no eyes, and injuries are inevitable. You and I will leave it to fate and take responsibility for our own lives! Do you agree?"
"Naturally," Xu Linyan said calmly.”
"Good!" Zhu Minglei said," You and I have a fair duel. Unless one side admits defeat, no one else has the right to interfere!”
He looked at Qi Yuanjie on the steps and said,""City Lord Qi, your cultivation is the highest here. Please be our witness!”
Qi Yuanjie smiled faintly and nodded.""Alright, since both of you have agreed, then I will be the witness. However, you should try your best to stop and not hurt the harmony.”
When the bystanders heard this, many of them had strange expressions on their faces.
"Don't worry, I won't harm your life!" Zhu Minglei looked at Xu Linyan and said.”
As for whether it would cause any injuries, it was hard to say. After all, fists and feet had no eyes.
Previously, Zhu Minglei had been provoked by Xu Chengshan, Ye Zhizhu, Ye Lanyun, and Xu Linyan. He had indeed lost his mind.
But now, he was actually much calmer.
Zhu Minglei had not expected things to reach this stage, but he was already in a difficult situation.
As a disciple of the Misty Moon Sect, he definitely couldn't lose this face.
The most important thing was to complete the mission given by his master.
Knowing that Ye Lanyun still had Xu Linyan in her heart, her master didn't tell her about it. Instead, he asked Zhu Minglei to do it in private.
In order to complete this mission, Zhu Minglei felt that he had already schemed enough.
He purposely delayed for a few days and chose to come to the Xu Clan at this time. Then, he publicly proposed to cancel the engagement. He didn't want to give Ye Lanyun any extra time to react, nor did he give the two clans a chance to discuss. He wanted to use the Misty Moon Sect's reputation to complete the mission in one go.
In his opinion, even if the two parties involved did not agree, it was impossible for the two clans to have the guts to go against the Misty Moon Sect.
Unexpectedly, things did not develop in the direction he had expected…
Since these two families did not know what was good for them and would rather offend the Misty Moon Sect than cancel the engagement, then they could only use roundabout tactics.
Xu Linyan challenging him was a good opportunity.
Since Junior Sister Ye still liked this kid even though his cultivation was crippled, then he would beat him into a true cripple!
That way, Junior Sister Ye would probably give up!
