Fei Yin's

Ch. 4 - Marriage

The attention of the visitors there was immediately directed at Fei Yin and Lan Meilian. Most of them know both.

“Are they Fei Yin and Lan Meilian?”

“They are so compatible!”

“Young Master Yin is so handsome! If he is 10 years older then I will beg to be his wife!”

Dozens of compliments were shown to Fei Yin and Lan Meilian who walked in a procession. Fei Yin responded to her with a thin smile while Lan Meilian covered her face which became as red as a tomato.

“Please.. I say retreat.” said the waiter after being in front of a door on the second floor.

“Dad.” Lan Meilian pushed the door towards the room that looked minimalist.

A man was sitting at a desk filled with papers with a disheveled face.

The man immediately smiled gently as he saw Lan Meilian enter his room. But his smile disappeared when he saw Fei Yin enter, “Fei Yin..” murmured coldly.

The man was named Lan Hou, the main caretaker of the Jade Treasure House branch in Fengshui city. Although he worked as a manager, Lan Hou had martial skills at all stages under Fei Tian.

Fei Yin smiled faintly as she looked at Lan Hou's cold expression at her. It was obvious that the man disliked Fei Yin, but he did not reveal it directly because it could damage his relationship with the Fei Clan, while his biggest business partner was the Fei Clan.

“Does Mr Lan want to convey something important?”

Lan Hou snorted softly, “Ya.. Sit down first.” Lan Hou pointed at the seat in front of him. Fei Yin sat down casually.

‘This boy.. Since when did he become smiling?’ Lan Hou wondered in his heart. He rarely saw a smile on the boy's face.

‘Who cares..’

“So, there is something important that I have to say.” Lan Hou began to explain the things he wanted to convey to Fei Yin.

“The young man wants to duel with you. If you lose then you have to cancel your match with Lian'er.” close with a little emphasis on scaring Fei Yin.

Out of her expectations, Fei Yin only smiled widely after hearing Lan Hou's explanation. The point was that there was a young man from a famous sect who wanted to tie up a marriage contract with Lan Meilian.

However, he learned that Lan Meilian had been bound by a marriage contract with Fei Yin, so he asked to be reunited with her and asked her to duel to determine the end of the contract.

“Actually, it's out of my hands to decide.” Fei Yin leaned her body.

“But.” Fei Yin looked at Meilian who was biting her lips while holding back tears. The girl looks very sad because she feels like an item when talking about a marriage contract.

Lan Hou's expression also softened as he looked at Lan Meilian who was holding back her cries, ‘Lian'er.. That young man was better than this Fei Yin. Although his talent lost to him, but he was so kind and polite.’ his inner.

“Find me with him.” Fei Yin said confidently.

Fei Yin's words made Lan Hou stunned, even though he was more happy than surprised, ‘If he could, accept his duel invitation.’ he said inwardly.

...\=\=\=...

Lan Hou brought Fei Yin and his daughter to a luxurious inn in Fengshui city. The three waited for the arrival of the young man that Lan Hou meant on the first floor.

“Manager Lan! Miss Lan!” the young man came down with a man in his 40s and gave a brief greeting.

From his appearance Fei Yin could tell the two were fighters, moreover the spear they carried was so striking that it was not so difficult to judge their appearance.

“Gu Han, Elder Ji.” Lan Hou returned the greetings of the young man as well as greeted the man behind him, while Lan Meilian shifted her gaze.

The reaction made the elder behind Gu Han raise his eyebrows, yet he did not say anything to reprimand.

The friendly smile on Gu Han's face also disappeared from seeing Fei Yin not returning her greetings and respect, “My brother.. If anyone pays respect, you should respect them back. It's called manners.” Gu Han advised.

Fei Yin smirked and shook her head, “I'm not asking you to respect me, why should I respect you back?”

“Business!” the elder behind Gu Han ran out of patience and shouted loudly accompanied with a strong qi pressure.

‘Oh.. But he would not be able to do anything here.’ Inner Fei Yin after judging the tiers of Elder Ji.

“Already Elder.. We live in a martial world. The strong are worthy of respect, while the weak are trampled.” Fei Yin said.

Elder Ji wanted to refute, but Fei Yin's words were the truth. Although in the sect the mutual respect of the white stream occurred not just patronized by force, he could not force that will on Fei Yin who was not a member of any sect at the moment.

“A caterpillar in a branch behaves like a dragon who has seen the world.” murmured Elder Ji for not finding a sentence to reverse Fei Yin's words to relieve his growl.

“Ulat?” Elder Ji coughed softly as he did not expect Fei Yin to be able to hear his mutter.

“Chairman Ji, Gu Han, let's sit down first. I have ordered some dishes.” Lan Hou tried to cool down the atmosphere that was starting to be not conducive.

“Not that I refuse the banquet and disrespect Mr Lan, but can we get straight to the point? Me and Elder Ji should return to the sect in the near future so a few minutes time is quite meaningful for us. After all, Fei Yin's brother already knew the main intention of this meeting right?” Gu Han rejected her gently, then looked at Fei Yin who was still smiling faintly.

Lan Hou nodded in understanding. His gaze also fell on Fei Yin. Actually everyone was staring at Fei Yin as if waiting for certainty from her.

“I don't want to do it.” said Fei Yin lightly still with a smile, but this time wider.

Forehead Elder Ji, Lan Hou and Gu Han shriveled, “Why? Are you scared?” elder Ji asked with a laugh in his heart as he felt satisfied, he thought Fei Yin did not want to duel out of fear. Lan Hou and Gu Han also thought the same thing and felt disappointed.

Only Lan Meilian alone felt joy in her heart, ‘Yin-gege had no chance of winning. Gu Han was 4 years older than him. He has also been in Spirit Archery for several months, obviously the fight will be one-sided.’

“Fear? Unfortunately, your guess is wrong.. I don't want to fight in vain. If I lose then I have to cancel the marriage contract with Meilian right? What if I win? What did I get?”

Lan Hou snorted coldly, “Are you unable to think? If you win then your marriage contract with Lian'er will be safe.”

Fei Yin nodded, "Oh... Unfortunately I am not stupid.” Fei Yin said with a cold smile directed at Lan Hou.

That smile made Lan Hou become uncomfortable and chose to turn his gaze to something else.

“If only maintain a marriage contract with Meilian then I don't need to do this duel. Why should I bother to do it?”

Lan Hou's breathing was stifled, as were Gu Han and Elder Ji. Meanwhile Lan Meilian did not understand what Fei Yin meant so there was no reaction to her except for a face full of question marks.

‘I underestimated the intelligence of this child.’ Inner Lan Hou while staring at Fei Yin. His conjecture had been true all along that Fei Yin had a much more mature and calculating mindset, not according to her age of 8 years.

Elder Ji also did not expect Fei Yin to be able to think that far regardless of his young age, so inevitably he had to offer something interesting to Fei Yin as a bet of a break-even duel.

“I have one space ring of 20×20 meters. This is a spare room ring. You can see the contents yourself. Indeed not much value, the resources in it are only equivalent to 22 thousand pieces of gold.” Elder Ji gave a ring to Fei Yin.

Fei Yin directly checked the contents of the space ring after receiving it, ‘Ah.. This is what I need.. What a coincidence.’ Fei Yin actually wanted to smile widely, but she had to act in order to obtain even more valuable objects.

“This is it? For a beautiful girl who will be the wife of a talented disciple in your sect?” Fei Yin showed a disappointed face after examining the contents of the spatial ring.

“A-what?!” Lan Meilian shouted loudly at Fei Yin's words.

“Sorry.”
