Chapter 65: Your Compensation, Whom Are You Implying?
Lin Mo smiled happily.
Jiang Yanran, however, was a little stunned. This development was beyond her expectations.
Settle accounts?
Settle what accounts?
Shouldn’t the other party appear furious or sad and utter some grand pronouncements to regain face?
Lin Mo saw Jiang Yanran’s thoughts from her bewildered expression.
This foolish woman, she wouldn’t think I’m the type to say things like ‘Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don’t bully a young man because he’s poor,’ would she?
And then in the future, I’ll strive to become stronger, secretly vowing to become strong so she’ll look at me with new eyes?
What a joke, is this woman even worthy?
“Since I haven’t done anything that violates the boundaries of our engagement, shouldn’t you give me some compensation for unilaterally breaking it off?”
The people present were dumbfounded again.
What kind of move was this?
They had imagined many scenarios, but every step Lin Mo took was beyond their expectations.
Jiang Yanran couldn’t help but freeze.
Was Lin Mo this kind of person in her impression?
Indeed, all of Lin Mo’s previous kindness was a pretense.
This true nature is truly ugly to the extreme.
“As for compensation, I have naturally prepared it.”
Jiang Yanran clapped her hands, and the people she brought down below took out three boxes.
“Here are three Rank 4 Longevity Pills, one Rank 5 Marrow Cleansing Pill, and one lower-grade Spirit Treasure sword.”
“The Rank 5 Marrow Cleansing Pill can heal your father’s injuries to about seventy to eighty percent. The Longevity Pills are just what Grandpa Lin needs. The lower-grade Spirit Treasure sword can be your life-bound spirit sword.”
“How is this compensation?”
After saying this, Jiang Yanran tilted her snow-white chin slightly, waiting for Lin Mo’s reply like a princess.
These items, she had specially prepared after inquiring about Lin Mo’s situation.
She had already imagined how excited Lin Mo would be.
But unexpectedly, Lin Mo’s expression didn’t change at all, and his eyes even revealed disdain.
What was this situation?
Lin Mo sneered, “Are you looking down on our Lin Family with these broken things, or is this all your Jiang Family has to show?”
Jiang Yanran was furious: “Don’t try to take advantage of the situation. You should think clearly about the value of these things. With the Lin Family’s capabilities, it won’t be easy to obtain them.”
The Lin family members now looked at Jiang Yanran with extremely strange expressions.
Jiang Yanran hadn’t understood what was going on yet when she saw Lin Mo call out to Lin Zhan, “Father, give her a shout.”
Knowing his son’s intentions, Lin Zhan gathered all his spiritual energy and shouted at Jiang Yanran, “Little girl, do you really think I need your things?”
The elders present had already protected their juniors.
Facing Lin Zhan directly, Jiang Yanran felt like her eardrums were about to shatter. She quickly gathered spiritual energy to resist, but still couldn’t bear it.
Lin Mo wasn’t surprised by this outcome. He was also a Rank 7 Golden Core, and his father’s cultivation technique was no worse than Jiang Yanran’s. Moreover, his father was already in the late Golden Core stage, so it was normal for Jiang Yanran to be unable to resist.
Gu Ningxin found it a bit strange: “Husband, don’t you feel anything unusual?”
“What’s wrong?” Lin Zhan was already annoyed that his son had been humiliated. After shouting, he felt much refreshed.
Gu Ningxin didn’t know how to explain, but she just felt a strange sense of unleashing a dog to deal with something.
The white-clothed girl also protected Jiang Yanran at a critical moment, staring intently at Lin Zhan: “Yanran, Lin Zhan’s spiritual energy is abundant, and his cultivation has reached the late Golden Core stage. He is not what you described, someone with hidden injuries.”
Jiang Yanran was still dizzy from Lin Zhan’s shout. After a while, she finally spoke to Lin Mo, “Your father?”
Lin Zhan was even more excited than Lin Mo at this moment, and he answered first: “Mo’er found me a Rank 6 pill yesterday. My hidden injuries have long since fully recovered, and I don’t care about your broken trinkets, girl.”
Lin Mo: “……” His father was quite interesting.
Lin Nantian, having lived for five hundred years, was actually a very steady person.
But now, he also had the urge to show off in front of this Jiang Family girl.
Thinking of this, he took out the birthday gift Lin Mo had just given him: “Longevity Pill, my grandson gave it to me today. This old man doesn’t like your broken trinkets either.”
Uh…
Lin Mo was a bit speechless. Where had Grandpa’s imposing demeanor from their meeting gone?
As expected of father and son.
The white-clothed girl frowned at this moment. Their Ice Palace could afford a Rank 5 Longevity Pill.
They didn’t bring it at the time because they thought it wasn’t necessary.
Unexpectedly, they lost face now.
Her gaze fell on Lin Mo. This young man was only at the Golden Core cultivation level. According to what her ‘disciple Yanran’ had told her, he had only joined Rank 2 Azure Spirit Sect. How could he obtain pills that even Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation cultivators coveted…
Jiang Yanran was now deeply embarrassed. She hadn’t expected that the compensation she had meticulously prepared would be considered worthless by the Lin Family.
Lin Mo was not idle either. Since his grandfather and father had both shown off, he had to cooperate and go through the motions.
Summoning the Liuli Sword, which had been eagerly waiting to appear, Lin Mo also smiled, “I also have a magic weapon-grade sword, and I don’t care about yours either.”
This triple blow left Jiang Yanran suffering greatly from humiliation.
The white-clothed girl was surprised: “Liuli Sword, isn’t that the sword that old fellow Xuan Yi used to favor the most? Why is it with you?”
Lin Mo didn’t expect the white-clothed girl to recognize the Liuli Sword, but he didn’t want to explain: “This has nothing to do with you, does it?”
The white-clothed girl narrowed her eyes and stopped speaking.
It indeed had nothing to do with her.
However, Lin Mo noticed something. This white-clothed girl actually called True Lord Xuan Yi an ‘old fellow.’
One should know that True Lord Xuan Yi was also an elder of the Rank 1 Immortal Sect, Spiritual Sword Sect.
If they were not of the same generation, then the white-clothed girl must have a deep hatred for True Lord Xuan Yi.
Well, this also didn’t concern him.
The white-clothed girl patted Jiang Yanran’s shoulder, signaling her to calm down.
Jiang Yanran regained her senses and asked with a somber expression, “Then what compensation do you want?”
Lin Mo looked at Lin Nantian and gave him a barrage of winks: “Grandpa, tell Miss Jiang about the betrothal gifts we prepared for the Jiang Family earlier.”
Lin Nantian, having lived for five hundred years, was quite a seasoned elder and immediately understood his grandson’s intentions.
He stroked his beard with a cheerful smile and said, “A medium-sized spiritual vein, three thousand Qi Nurturing Pills, five hundred Nine Revolutions Pills, twenty Spirit Treasures, eighty Mortal Treasures…”
Upon hearing this, all the guests were stunned.
This was truly a grand gesture.
Lin Mo smiled faintly, “Compensate us with exactly what my grandfather mentioned, and then the marriage is called off.”
Jiang Yanran was not an idiot and of course saw that Lin Mo was trying to rip her off. She angrily said, “You are asking for an exorbitant price, inflating the cost.”
Lin Mo smiled even more happily: “Miss Jiang, do you think you are not worth this betrothal gift?”
“If you think we are inflating the cost, you don’t have to break off the engagement.”
“Tomorrow, our Lin Family will send this betrothal gift to your Jiang Family, and we will get married that day.”
“You…” Jiang Yanran’s face turned red with anger, not expecting Lin Mo to be such a shameless scoundrel.
Just then, Nangong Xu spoke up, “Our Nangong Family will provide this compensation.”
Hearing this, the corner of Lin Mo’s mouth curved slightly.
This man that Jiang Yanran fancied wasn’t very bright either.
…
