"Mengqian, you're back."
Lin Mengqian's mother, Gu Ni, was overjoyed and gently embraced Lin Mengqian.
"mom."
Lin Mengqian held Gu Ni in her arms, feeling her mother's love.
Standing to the side, Lin Mengqian's father, Lin Langtian, had a stern face and was looking at Fang Xian with hostility.
"You're Fang Xian?"
Fang Xian greeted him with a smile.
"Hello, Uncle, I am Fang Xian."
Lin Langtian stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an imposing aura without being angry.
"I advise you to stop trying to seduce my daughter; it's impossible for you two to be together."
"dad!"
Before Lin Mengqian could speak, Gu Ni grabbed her and spoke first:
"Lang Tian, why don't we go inside and have a cup of tea so we can talk slowly?"
Lin Langtian didn't say anything, just snorted coldly and turned to walk into the living room.
Gu Ni looked at Fang Xian and saw the four women behind him. She frowned slightly, but still gave a peaceful smile.
"Let's go in and have a seat first."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Fang Xian and the four women followed Gu Ni into the living room and found a place to sit down.
The servants took the teapot and poured tea for Fang Xian and the others.
Lin Langtian looked at Fang Xian with disgust, his tone unfriendly.
"Kid, this is my last warning. Get away from my daughter right now, or don't blame me for being ruthless."
Fang Xian took a sip of tea; it was rich, fragrant, and delicious.
He smiled slightly, showing no fear whatsoever towards Lin Langtian, the bigwig of Yongjiang City.
"Uncle, I'd like to ask, who is worthy of your daughter?"
Lin Langtian didn't expect Fang Xian to raise this question, so naturally he wanted to make things difficult for Fang Xian.
"My son-in-law must naturally be an outstanding individual, an unparalleled and powerful full-time awakener."
"Although you have the legendary SP talent, you are just a mere contract master and will never have a chance to rise to the top."
"They don't deserve it at all!"
Gu Ni picked up her teacup and quietly observed the expressions of Fang Xian and the other women.
She was somewhat surprised, though. Logically, Fang Xian would naturally react with confusion or even anger upon hearing such harsh conditions.
But what's with that calm, confident expression on his face?
It doesn't seem like he's faking it. Does he have some hidden trump card?
What was even more surprising was the expression of Lin Mengqian and the other four women. They remained calm and composed, seemingly not finding Lin Langtian's request excessive at all.
Fang Xian smiled without saying a word, but simply shared his level with Lin Langtian and Gu Ni.
Lin Langtian and Gu Ni frowned slightly. They didn't say anything and silently clicked to accept the sharing.
As soon as they opened Fang Xian's level display, they couldn't sit still any longer.
Lin Langtian, abandoning his previous imposing demeanor, jumped up from the stool, his face filled with shock.
"What?! You're level 82?!"
Gu Ni was equally astonished, finally understanding why Fang Xian and Lin Mengqian were so calm. At this level, even geniuses paled in comparison to Fang Xian.
Lin Langtian looked at his level 82, then hurriedly looked at the number displaying 20 years old, and he was completely dumbfounded.
20 years old, class of '82?
Two seemingly ordinary sets of numbers appearing in the same person is simply contrary to human cognition.
"How...did you do that?"
Fang Xian revealed a confident smile and spoke calmly.
"I forgot to introduce you to your uncle and aunt. They are my contract partners. Please introduce yourselves to your uncle and aunt."
Yukino and the others smiled slightly, immediately understanding.
"Hello, uncles and aunts, my name is Yukino, I am 22 years old, and I am a level 61 S-rank mage."
"Liu Shishuang, 32 years old, level 71, S-rank talent priest."
"Tang Xiaowu, 28 years old, level 92 SSS talent assassin."
LI XIAOYU, 20 years old, level 27 S rank mage.
Except for Li Xiaoyu Lin Langtian and Gu Ni couldn't believe the numbers they heard. Their ages and ranks were simply phenomenal. How could they be so high?
This is completely illogical!
Lin Mengqian stepped forward, her expression serious.
"Mom and Dad, I am also Fang Xian's contract partner. Now let me introduce myself."
"Lin Mengqian, 20 years old, level 63 SSS talent warrior."
Gu Ni was completely stunned, her hands lost all strength, and the teacup slipped from her grasp and fell to the ground.
"Clang!"
Lin Langtian stared intently at Lin Mengqian, and hearing her words felt like a dream.
He is 58 years old and only level 71, while his daughter is only 20 years old and has only been awakened for less than a week, yet her level is already almost catching up with his.
"this..."
"what is going on?"
Fang Xian smiled and slowly stood up.
"Uncle and Aunt, I want to ask again, I..."
"Are they good enough for your daughter?"
No sooner had Fang Xian finished speaking than mocking voices came from outside.
"You're not worthy? You're not even worthy of a chicken feather!"
The person who walked in was Lin Zun. He had been furious when he heard Fang Xian's question.
"Fang Xian, how dare you speak to my parents like that? You're tired of living!"
He was about to swear a few more times when he was suddenly kicked to the ground.
"Grass!"
Lin Zun clutched his stomach, cursing as he looked up.
"Which bastard kicked me?!"
He then saw Lin Langtian raise his leg, and it was clear that Lin Langtian was the one who kicked him.
Lin Langtian glared at Lin Zun and kicked him again.
"You unfilial son! Who gave you permission to speak to your brother-in-law like that? You're tired of living!"
Lin Zun was full of question marks, feeling as if Lin Langtian had kicked him out of his auditory hallucination.
"Dad! Don't kick me!"
"Are you drinking fake alcohol? Who are you calling my brother-in-law?"
Lin Lang delivered a beautiful spinning kick, sending Lin Zun crashing into the wall and creating a large crater.
"Don't be disrespectful. Fang Xian is your brother-in-law. You should respect him from now on."
Lin Zun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, completely dumbfounded. What was all this about?
Lin Langtian coughed lightly and looked at Fang Xian with a kind expression.
"Son-in-law, let's have lunch together later and finalize this marriage agreement."
"dad--"
Lin Mengqian stamped her foot shyly and looked at Fang Xian embarrassedly.
Fang Xian chuckled, and couldn't help but admire the Lin family. Like father, like daughter; they indeed had two very different personalities.
"Then I'll have to bother you, Uncle."
Lin Langtian laughed heartily and patted Fang Xian's shoulder lightly.
"We're all family, no need to be so polite."
"And why are you still calling me uncle?"
Fang Xian was ashamed; the speed of development was truly astounding.
He ignored Lin Langtian's question, and instead said seriously:
"Uncle, actually, besides what happened between Mengqian and me, I have another matter that I need your help with."
Lin Langtian patted his chest, his enthusiasm surging.
"We're family, so let's not stand on ceremony. If there's anything Dad can help you with, just let him know."
Fang Xian didn't mince words and went straight to the point.
"I want something from the Lin family."
"What is that?"
That's the Lin family's tradition that has lasted for thousands of years.
