Become a Knight Across the World

"What? This wild girl dares to be so arrogant!" After hearing the guard's message, Zhou Laosi was so angry that he stood up from his seat. "Hmph, I want to see just how capable she is. Men, tie this girl up and bring her in!"

"Fourth brother, calm down. Since all who come are guests, they should be invited in through the main entrance. Please come in quickly," said Old Madam Zhou calmly. Although she was equally indignant, she had to maintain her composure and grace because Ye Chen was present. "Young friend Ye, I'm truly sorry. This child was sent away to endure hardship and training since she was young, so she doesn't know she's a member of the Zhou family! After you two are happily married, she will naturally regain her Zhou family identity and surname!"

"No problem, no problem, Patriarch, you flatter me. To be honest, I'm quite curious about this Miss Lin!" Ye Chen smiled, revealing a hint of anticipation. Based on what had just happened, Ye Chen deduced that this young lady must be quite unique. Although he had visited the Wang family yesterday and fallen in love at first sight with the eldest daughter, becoming engaged, as the male protagonist of a harem novel, Ye Chen naturally wouldn't mind being surrounded by beautiful women.

A moment later, the guard rushed out, smiling obsequiously, and said, "Miss Lin, the head of the family requests that you enter through the main gate." Lin Yue glanced triumphantly at her brother, then proudly led him through the Zhou family's gate.

After the two entered the main hall, Lin Yue found that there were many people sitting there. The head seat was occupied by an old woman, the left side was filled with a row of middle-aged men, and the right side was occupied by a young man she didn't recognize. It seemed that this person was Long Aotian.

Upon seeing Lin Yue, Ye Chen's eyes flashed with instant amazement! The girl standing before him wasn't wearing makeup; she was naturally beautiful. Her skin, as white and flawless as alabaster, radiated a captivating glow; her eyes shone like brilliant stars in the night sky, sparkling with a lively light; her face was exquisitely beautiful, with distinct and three-dimensional features, each one seemingly meticulously sculpted; and her figure… aside from being a little flat-chested, it was practically perfect. At this moment, a surge of joy welled up within Ye Chen.

"You have no manners at all!" Old Mrs. Zhou looked at Lin Yue, who was standing straight, and was very angry, but she held back and said to Lin Yue with a fake smile, "Lin Yue, right? Come and greet Young Master Ye Chen."

Lin Yue smiled slightly and looked at Ye Chen: "So you're Long Aotian. You're not that good-looking."

Ye Chen was taken aback. What was Long Aotian? But he didn't care and then laughed, "Miss Lin is so witty. My name is Ye Chen. It's a pleasure to meet you, my beautiful lady."

"I'm not here to get to know you." Lin Yue looked at his crooked smile and suppressed the urge to vomit. "I'm here today to tell you that I don't recognize this engagement!" Lin Yue said firmly.

Old Mrs. Zhou's face instantly darkened. "Lin Yue, don't be ungrateful! This marriage is not up to you!"

Ye Chen seemed indifferent, and said with a smile, "Miss Lin, why be so resolute? Perhaps we can spend some time together before making a decision."

"No need!" Lin Yue didn't even bother to look at him. "To keep this man tied to your house without paying any price, you can only bring back the child you abandoned before to fill the gap! You really want to be a shameless whore while trying to build a chastity monument on yourself, you shameless bastard!"

"You..." Old Mrs. Zhou's face instantly turned extremely ugly, and she trembled with anger. This wild girl had actually blurted this out so recklessly! She had previously told Ye Chen that the woman before her was the real Zhou family's daughter! What if Ye Chen became disappointed because of this and turned to the Wang family instead...?

"You wretched thing! I... Pfft!" Overcome with anger and anxiety, the old lady coughed up a mouthful of blood and then fainted in her chair.

"That old bastard deserved to die!" Lin Yue showed no sympathy whatsoever, and even added insult to injury by kicking him while he was down.

"Homeowner!"

The scene instantly descended into chaos as the Zhou family rushed to check on Old Mrs. Zhou. Ye Chen stood to the side, watching everything thoughtfully.

Taking advantage of the moment, Lin Yue pulled the completely bewildered Lin Mu away from the Zhou family home, leaving the Zhou family members in a panic. Lin Mu's mind was blank the entire time, from entering the house to being dragged out by his sister, and then mechanically getting into the car. "Brother, I want to go see sister-in-law!" Lin Yue said excitedly. "Oh...oh, okay!" Lin Mu came to his senses and started the car.

At this moment, everyone in the Zhou family was in a panic. "Make way, let me do it!" Ye Chen pushed through the crowd and stepped forward to take her pulse: "Her blood and qi have attacked her heart; she's just fainted."

Hearing Ye Chen's words, the Zhou family breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Chen then treated her with the Six Meridian Divine Needles, and soon, Old Madam Zhou woke up. She immediately saw Ye Chen beside her and, upon learning that Ye Chen had saved her, felt deeply grateful.

"I'm so sorry, young friend Ye, my granddaughter is used to being carefree and unrestrained outside, so she doesn't recognize us old folks. I'll call over all my other granddaughters right now, and you can choose whichever you like..."

"There's no need for that!" Ye Chen abruptly interrupted the old man's next words.

"I found that Miss Lin quite interesting; she has a very unique personality. I'd like to try getting to know her better. I'm confident that with my charm, I can win her heart! Of course, I won't easily give up on the cooperation with the Zhou family either."

Ye Chen pondered to himself, his mind drifting to the three young ladies of the Wang family. There was Wang Mengyun, a gentle and sophisticated 24-year-old, exuding mature charm; Wang Mengyao, a vibrant and energetic 18-year-old; and finally, Wang Jiayi, an adorable 15-year-old, playful and endearing. The Wang family had hinted that they hoped he would choose from these three. However, for Ye Chen, this choice between two or even three was pure torture. After all, a man as outstanding as him couldn't possibly be content with just one beauty. He wanted all three beauties, each with their own distinct style, to be his! And the unconventional girl from earlier had successfully ignited his intense desire to explore her.

The old woman was overjoyed. She hadn't expected that although the process was different, the result was the same! "Then what about my granddaughter's hidden illness…?" "I'll take care of the other young lady's illness! But I'd like to ask the head of the family, where does this Miss Lin live now? Where does she go to school? And how old is she?"

"I already found out. I'll have Zhou Laosi tell Ye Xiaoyou right away..."
