Chapter 974: What the Hell Is This Situation

The scene at the moment was somewhat chaotic.

The heads of the seven great families were arguing, each refusing to yield, all claiming their daughters were as beautiful as celestial maidens.

Lin Haoming, at a loss for what to do, could only stand aside and watch them argue.

“Father, what’s wrong?” Lin Hanyu, hearing the commotion in the hall, came to see what was happening.

“They all want to marry their daughters to your brother. There are too many, and I don’t know how to choose,” Lin Haoming said with difficulty.

Lin Hanyu was taken aback, then burst into laughter, though she felt it wasn’t too early for her brother to be betrothed.

“Father, why not have them bring their daughters over, and then we can take our time choosing?” Lin Hanyu suggested.

She hadn’t expected things to turn out this way, but she knew it was all because her brother was too formidable.

His future achievements would be limitless.

These seven families had come to form marriage ties.

“Ah, right!” Lin Haoming slapped his thigh and immediately stopped the chaos. “Everyone, you all say your daughters are as beautiful as celestial maidens. Why not bring them here so we can have a look?”

At Lin Haoming’s words, the family heads immediately agreed. To forge iron, one must be strong oneself; let facts speak.

Then the crowd dispersed, each rushing home to have their daughters come and compete.

After everyone had left, Lin Haoming couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This situation was really too intense.

“Call your sisters over to help take a look,” Lin Haoming said.

“Mm.” Lin Hanyu nodded. In their view, this was a big deal; they had to pick a perfect wife for their brother.

When Lin Feixue and Lin Lan’er learned that they were to choose a wife for Lin Fan, they were full of curiosity and soon arrived at the hall.

In their eyes, this was a major event.

The Lin family had only one male heir, so naturally they wanted the family to be lively.

Before long, the heads of the seven great families arrived with their daughters.

As they entered the Lin residence, the lineup drew everyone’s attention.

Lin Haoming took a look and nodded. “Not bad, really not bad.”

The Huang family head pushed his daughter forward. “Brother Lin, please take a look. How is she?”

“Not bad,” Lin Haoming immediately said.

Although the Huang family head wasn’t much to look at, his daughter was truly something—she had everything, a well-proportioned figure, and was a top-tier beauty.

“Hmph, Brother Lin, take a look at my daughter,” the Shen family head said, dismissing the Huang family head, and pushed his daughter forward.

Lin Haoming looked and nodded again.

“Not bad.”

These girls, pulled out by their fathers, were shy, and some were resigned.

At first, when they heard they were to be married off, they were resistant, and when they learned it was to the young master of the Lin family, their resistance grew even stronger.

They didn’t know why they would marry a good-for-nothing.

But after hearing about the young master’s deeds, they all became willing.

Strong, young, handsome.

He was the perfect Prince Charming in their eyes.

Especially when they learned the competition was fierce, they dressed up meticulously, making themselves look beautiful.

“What’s that compared to this? Look at my daughter.”

The other family heads felt that if they didn’t take the initiative, they would lose the advantage.

Lin Haoming nodded repeatedly, then asked his daughters, “What do you think?”

“They’re all very good,” Lin Hanyu said, nodding. These girls, if married to her brother, would be a match, especially a few with decent cultivation, clearly talented.

“All these sisters are beautiful,” Lin Lan’er said.

Lin Haoming was satisfied, especially since his daughters had said so; clearly, they had all passed.

“Brother Lin, tell us, who do you choose?” the Huang family head said.

“My daughter is definitely superior. Your daughters are far inferior.”

“Shameless! Can you say that with a clear conscience?”

…

In an instant, the arguing started again.

Lin Haoming looked at the scene, his head spinning. If he only chose one, it would be hard to justify.

It might even lead to a bloody conflict.

“Father, why not choose them all?” Lin Hanyu said.

Lin Haoming said nothing; perhaps this was the best solution.

This way, he wouldn’t offend any family, and they could coexist peacefully in the future.

“All your daughters are excellent. How about they all enter the Lin family?” Lin Haoming said.

The crowd hesitated, then looked at each other, and finally gritted their teeth.

“Alright, that proposal is fine.”

In the eyes of the seven family heads, if they didn’t form marriage ties with the Lin family, it might be dangerous in the future.

Since that was the case, they might as well keep the power balance in Shenglong City stable.

Although the Lin family would dominate in the future, at least the seven families would remain on the same level.

“I’ll go tell big brother now.” Lin Lan’er said excitedly, then hurried toward Lin Fan’s residence.

“Brother Lin, since things are settled, why not let us meet the young master?” the family heads said.

“Alright, please follow me,” Lin Haoming said.

…

At that moment, in a delicate courtyard.

Lin Fan stood on the water’s surface in the middle of a lake, his eyes slightly closed, his mind immersed in the world.

Feeling the laws of heaven and earth, Lin Fan understood how magnificent the Endless Continent was.

The power of heaven and earth, the structure of the world, was even vaster and more rigorous than the Ancient Saint Realm after the fusion of myriad realms.

This world was truly awesome.

Lin Fan was filled with boundless fighting spirit, determined to raise his strength as quickly as possible in this world.

The Heaven and Earth Sect was naturally good.

But Lin Fan didn’t want to be an ordinary disciple; no matter what, he had to start from a higher point.

Only then could he be valued and gain access to deeper martial arts mysteries.

“Brother…” Just as Lin Fan was immersed in it, Lin Lan’er came running from afar.

“Father found you a bunch of wives.”

The first sentence didn’t faze Lin Fan much, but when he heard the second, he was stunned.

What the hell was this about now?

Wives?

I’m only eleven years old. Isn’t it a bit early to find a wife?

And that wasn’t even the main point.

It was the “bunch of wives.”

What did that mean? Why did it feel ominous?

Just then, a commotion came from afar.

Lin Fan focused his gaze and saw Lin Haoming leading a group of people toward him.

Close behind were a group of girls.

Most of these girls were young, only in their teens.

The youngest might be only eleven or twelve.

What the hell was this? These were all children.

In his previous life, that would be at least three years in prison, maximum the death penalty.
