Chapter 973: This Is Really Helpless

The matter of the Huang family spread throughout Shenglong City within a single day.

When the commoners heard the news, their first reaction was disbelief.

The young master of the Lin family sweeping through the Huang family?

And even cutting off the hands of the Huang family's young master?

This was damn well a cold joke.

But when they passed by the Huang residence and saw that ravine, their hearts were completely convinced.

In their eyes, this was truly impressive.

At the same time, rumors spread that the Heaven and Earth Sect wanted to take the Lin family's young master as a disciple, but he was going to spar with an elder of the sect to test its capabilities.

As the story spread, it became more and more exaggerated, until it reached an absurd level.

The heads and even the patriarchs of the other major families grew restless.

This matter had become serious.

The managers of the major families also began to bustle about.

The Lin family young master's formidable strength shocked them, but what followed was truly terrifying.

The Heaven and Earth Sect wanted to accept the Lin family's young master as a disciple.

That was the Heaven and Earth Sect!

A sect that countless people would break their heads trying to enter, yet might not succeed.

If the Lin family's young master joined the sect, his future would be brilliant, and in his eyes, families like theirs would be nothing but ants.

Prepare generous gifts!

Prepare the people!

...

The Lin family.

The sudden rise of the third young master naturally caused astonishment among everyone.

"My son, how can you be so incredible?" Lin Haoming asked in disbelief.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even if beaten to death, he wouldn't have believed it.

That Huang family ancestor was formidable enough, yet he was directly grabbed by his own son with one hand—how domineering was that.

"I just became formidable by accident." Lin Fan really didn't know how to answer; as for Lin Haoming, Lin Fan truly didn't know what to say.

The Lin family in his hands could be considered a tragedy.

If it weren't for the other families not wanting to touch him, and Lin Haoming knowing when to back down, the Lin family would have been gone long ago.

"Formidable." Lin Haoming believed it; becoming incredible by accident—this reason definitely deserved full marks.

"Wife, your belly is really something to be proud of; you are the Lin family's benefactor, our savior." Lin Haoming said, embracing his wife.

Lin's wife smiled like a flower, very happy; in her view, it was still her own doing.

"Brother, I always thought you were useless; from now on, who would dare bully me?" Lin Lan'er said excitedly.

Elder sister Lin Hanyu and second sister Lin Feixue were now also gathered around Lin Fan, trying to see through their little brother.

Without a sound, silent every day, they were still worried—could there really be something wrong with their little brother?

But today's situation directly scared them speechless.

Formidable, truly too formidable.

Could he still be their little brother?

"I'm going to rest now." Lin Fan directly retreated; if he stayed any longer, who knew how many more questions he'd be asked.

After Lin Fan left, the Lin family members started discussing again.

Today's matter was a big deal for them.

...

The next day!

"Master, master..." The old butler rushed in hurriedly.

He knew that their young master had made a stunning debut yesterday; although they were servants, they were genuinely excited inside.

When one person attains the Way, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

If the young master is this formidable, how could the Lin family decline? They must be even more powerful. As their servants, they would have plenty of face outside too.

"What is it?" Lin Haoming had been excited all night and was still a bit worked up even today.

"The head of the Wu family has arrived, bringing many gifts, and wishes to see you," the old steward said.

"Let him in." Lin Haoming now stood tall and spoke with confidence. He then took the seat of honor, sipped his tea, and waited calmly.

"Ah, Brother Lin..." The head of the Wu family entered, brimming with warmth, his smile as genial as spring flowers.

"So it's Head Wu. Come, have a seat," Lin Haoming said with a smile, not even moving from his seat.

Now that his son was impressive, he had to put on some airs himself.

"Brother Lin, congratulations!" Head Wu offered his felicitations.

Lin Haoming smiled. Though he appeared composed, the smile on his face betrayed his inner pride.

"Brother Lin, I've come to discuss a matter with you. I hope you'll grant my request," Head Wu said.

"Please, speak your mind, Head Wu," Lin Haoming replied.

"My daughter, who is thirteen this year, I wish to arrange a marriage for her. Now that Brother Lin's son is also eleven, I was thinking of a fine match to bring us together, but I wonder what Brother Lin thinks." said Patriarch Wu.

"This is a good thing. I've heard that Patriarch Wu's daughter is as beautiful as a flower, a golden blossom in Rising Dragon City." said Lin Haoming.

At the same time, he began to ponder some matters in his mind.

His son was certainly going to the Heaven and Earth Sect, and who knew how long that would take before he returned.

If he could get him a wife and leave behind an heir, that would be quite good.

Moreover, building good relations with other families was also very necessary.

When Patriarch Wu heard that Patriarch Lin agreed, his heart was filled with joy.

But just at that moment, the old steward arrived again.

"Master, Patriarch Wu of the Wu family has come to visit."

"Show him in."

...

"Brother Lin, I, Wu, have come uninvited; please don't take offense. This time, I've come mainly to propose a marriage for my daughter, hoping to become in-laws with Brother Lin." Patriarch Wu got straight to the point.

"Ah..." Lin Haoming was taken aback, suddenly finding himself in a difficult spot. "Brother Wu, this Brother Wu has also come to discuss a marriage proposal, so I..."

Lin Haoming did not finish his sentence.

The old steward came running again.

"Master, the head of the Huang family has arrived."

"Invite him in..." Lin Haoming's head was now aching. What were these fellows up to?

"Brother Lin, I truly apologize for yesterday. I, Huang, failed to discipline properly. I've come this time to discuss a marriage alliance..."

The old steward, who had already made several trips, was panting heavily as he came running again.

"Master, the head of the Shen family has arrived..."

"Invite him in..."

Lin Haoming was about to explode. What were you all trying to do? Surely not all here for marriage proposals?

"Haha, Brother Lin..." As soon as the Shen family head entered, he glanced at the other heads and then stated his intentions.

Another marriage proposal.

Soon after, the remaining families also arrived one after another.

At this moment, the great hall was like a marketplace. For some reason, the seven family heads suddenly began to argue.

"Old Huang, your daughter is already sixteen, and you still have the nerve to bring her up? How embarrassing!"

"Hmph, what's wrong with sixteen? My daughter is the fourth beauty of Ascending Dragon City. Is your daughter as good-looking as mine?"

"Stop it, both of you. How can your daughters compare to mine..."

Lin Haoming stepped back slightly; the atmosphere in the room had changed.

Why was his son so popular?

But if he married them all, and each bore two children, wouldn't the Lin family's lineage flourish...

That wouldn't be bad.

But if Lin Fan found out, he would surely explode with rage.

"Do you take me for a stud?"
