Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

"Is this still the same lecherous man?"

Xia Linglong stared at Lin Ping in astonishment, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her.

She was not only moved by Lin Ping's actions, but also by his way of thinking.

The other party is not simply acting for themselves, but also resisting for all oppressed women in the world.

In an instant, Lin Ping's image in Xia Linglong's mind became much more impressive.

"In my eyes, you are nothing but an ant, yet you dare to try and interfere with my little sister's marriage?" Xia Linglong suddenly appeared in front of Lin Ping, his eagle-claw-like fingers forcefully gripping his neck.

Lin Ping suddenly couldn't breathe, his face turned red, and he coughed incessantly.

"Big brother, please let him go, I'll go back with you." Xia Linglong knelt on the ground and begged desperately, her tearful appearance was simply heartbreaking.

"You actually knelt down for this brat! It seems you've fallen for him. In that case, I can't let him off the hook even more!" Xia Linglong's face darkened further, his tone icy cold.

He could disregard Lin Ping, but he couldn't ignore Xia Linglong's feelings. Despite her noble status, she had never knelt before anyone, yet now she was begging him so desperately for Lin Ping's sake, which fully demonstrated her feelings for him.

Therefore, Xia Linglong decided to kill Lin Ping to end Xia Linglong's hopes.

"Idiot, run! Do you want to wait here to die?" Xia Linglong shouted at Lin Ping, her heart filled with indescribable worry.

"Tomboy, which eye of yours thinks I can get away?" Lin Ping thought to himself, but shouted out loud, "Since I've taken your money, I have to complete the mission."

"Are you stupid? You're risking your life for a thousand taels of silver." Xia Linglong cried even harder, no longer behaving like a Jinyiwei captain.

"There's nothing I can do. I, Lin Ping, love money more than life itself. Once money's in my pocket, there's no reason to give it back." Lin Ping gripped Xia Linglong's wrists with both hands, his face contorted with rage, the veins on his neck bulging, as if he was about to be strangled to death.

"You still have some backbone," Xia Linglong said coldly, but he increased the force in his hand.

"If kneeling and begging for mercy were effective, I, Lin Ping, wouldn't have needed to put on this act..." Lin Ping cursed inwardly, knowing full well that begging for mercy was useless to Xia Linglong. He truly regretted accepting Xia Linglong's thousand taels of silver.

However, there's no going back in life; you have to jump into the hole you dug yourself, no matter what.

"I will not allow you to take Ranmei away, even if it costs me my life..." Lin Ping's eyes suddenly turned terrifying and sinister, like a huge vortex, forcing Xia Linglong to jump into it.

Under the intense X-ray beam, Xia Linglong was somewhat dazed. He released Lin Ping's hand, took a few steps back, and said coldly, "Let me see your true strength."

"Very well, you are the first person to force me to show my strength. It's just a pity that even if you are Ranmei's brother, I will not show any mercy!" A terrifying power rose from Lin Ping's body, and the joints of his hands cracked, making him look like a true master.

His ten fingers moved rapidly, quickly forming a spell seal. Suddenly, he slammed his hand on the floor and shouted, "Ultimate Summoning Technique... Little sister, save me?"

At the same time, Lin Xiaomei burst through the door in despair, feeling ashamed for her brother. In the end, he still had to rely on a woman.

Without saying a word, Lin Xiaomei thrust her sharp sword directly at Xia Linglong's throat.

She didn't care about the other person's identity; anyone who dared to harm her elder brother was an enemy.

Chen Haoran was caught off guard and was almost hit in a vital spot, but fortunately, two guards beside him blocked him in time.

"Seeing flowers through the fog!" Lin Xiaomei didn't hold back at all and immediately used her ultimate move.

She knew that these guards were highly skilled, and Xia Linglong himself was an expert; a prolonged fight would only be detrimental to her.

"Linglong, let's go!" Lin Ping seized the opportunity to grab Xia Linglong's hand and run outside.

"Want to leave? Not so easy!" Xia Linglong and the guard outside the door saw Lin Ping in front of them and launched a fierce attack.

"Big brother, please forgive me!" Xia Linglong stood in front of Lin Ping and actually got into a fight with Xia Linglong.

Unfortunately, Xia Linglong's fancy but ineffective moves had no effect on Xia Linglong. After two moves, he was captured alive and could no longer care about Lin Ping.

"Run! Big brother will kill you!" Xia Linglong shouted again, already sensing Xia Linglong's murderous intent.

"If I could escape, would I have waited until now?" Lin Ping was speechless, also feeling Xia Linglong's murderous aura.

Lin Ping was so confident because he had complete faith in Lin Xiaomei's abilities. However, he never expected that she would be held back by two guards and even be at a disadvantage, unable to help him at all.

If he had known this would happen, Lin Ping shouldn't have taken on this hot potato.

At the same time, Lin Ping began to gather his spell seals again, slamming his hand on the floor and shouting, "Ultimate Summoning Technique... Wife, save me!"

Lin Ping was confident in his own strength and knew he couldn't escape Xia Linglong's palm strike. Rather than obediently waiting to die, he might as well shout for help.

"You're just playing dumb, prepare to die!" Xia Linglong charged toward Lin Ping with a ferocious expression, the long sword in his hand gleaming coldly.

"Don't you dare hurt my husband!" With a sharp shout, a cold flying sword came flying through the air and collided directly with Xia Linglong's longsword.

Xia Linglong was forced back three steps, his arms still trembling with the longsword. If he hadn't gritted his teeth and persevered, he probably would have lost the ability to wield the sword.

"My lady, you've finally arrived!" Lin Ping exclaimed with joy, but upon looking up, he noticed something amiss. Jiang Yunying was dressed in black, her face veiled and covered with a bamboo hat, obscuring even her watery eyes.

Jiang Yunying ignored Lin Ping and easily helped Lin Xiaomei defeat the two guards.

"Sister-in-law, your strength has increased again!" Lin Xiaomei said happily, without asking why the other party was wearing a mask.

"Who are you? How dare you interfere in my affairs?" Xia Linglong asked calmly, knowing that even if everyone combined their strength, they couldn't defeat the other party alone.

Jiang Yunying held her longsword level, and another cold light flashed as she said in a cold voice, "The one who will kill you!"

Before he could finish speaking, the longsword was already in front of Xia Linglong, ready to take his life at any moment.

"No!" Xia Linglong stood in front of him, shaking her head repeatedly, even looking at Lin Ping with pleading eyes, and said helplessly, "Don't kill him, he can't die."

After all, the other party was Xia Linglong's older brother, and Lin Ping didn't really intend to kill him. However, he didn't expect Jiang Yunying to be so ruthless. No wonder she wore a bamboo hat and a veil over her face. She probably didn't want to expose her identity so that there would be no way to prove her dead.

"Young Master Lin, I don't want that thousand taels of silver anymore. Our deal is over. Linglong is willing to go back with my brother. Please forgive him this time." Tears welled up in Xia Linglong's icy eyes, not out of concern for Xia Linglong's life or death, but out of heartache and helplessness.

She felt she had been willful enough and couldn't cause Lin Ping any more unnecessary trouble. If Jiang Yunying really killed Xia Linglong, the City Lord's Mansion would probably suffer a devastating disaster.
