SWNOVELXO Chapter 7: Endless Conflicts
Chapter 5:
The wall cracked severely from the powerful impact of Lin Fan's strike, resembling a spiderweb in the vastness of the fractures.
As for Lin Fan, he had no time to rise. He quickly rolled to the left, narrowly avoiding another kick aimed at his head. The man's foot sank deeply into the ground, showing the immense power behind that kick.
'Damn, what a fool I am. Did I really expect to fight them head-on without accounting for a surprise attack? I still lack so much experience!' Lin Fan thought self-deprecatingly as he quickly got to his feet, now more focused and ready for battle, a trickle of blood visible on the side of his mouth.
"I didn't expect you to be such a coward, old man. To launch a surprise attack on someone of my generation, are you really the future patriarch of the Xiao Clan?" Lin Fan taunted the man who attacked him, wiping the blood from his mouth, a sneer on his face.
"That's none of your business, scum. Anything goes in battle, and I won't let someone like you ruin my daughter's wedding and humiliate my family. You'll have to step over my dead body first!" Xiao Ming shouted in furious rage. How could he not be angry? What should have been the happiest day of his life had turned into chaos because of the young man standing before him. He couldn't swallow that and remain calm, even if he were a saint.
"Father! Be careful! This young man seems really strong!" Xiao Mi called out worriedly, looking at her father.
"Don't worry, Xiao Mi. I'll put an end to this scoundrel's life, trust me," Xiao Ming replied with a reassuring smile, confidence in his voice.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Lin Fan clapped enthusiastically. "What a touching display between a father and his daughter. I feel like tears are about to fall from my eyes." He said sarcastically, pretending to wipe away nonexistent tears, mocking Xiao Ming to the fullest.
'This scoundrel!!' Xiao Ming thought, seething with anger. His veins bulged on his forehead, and he looked as if he might explode from the intensity of his rage.
"I'll kill you, you scoundrel!!" Xiao Ming screamed as he charged toward Lin Fan, his eyes radiating murderous intent, displaying his vast combat experience and the fury that drove him.
"Hahaha, I hope all of this isn't just empty words. I look forward to seeing you beg me like a dog while I torture you, old man!" Lin Fan shouted back at Xiao Ming, his enjoyment clear, as their fists collided with immense force in the air.
As the battle between Lin Fan and Xiao Ming began, worry was still evident on Xiao Mi's face. She turned her gaze toward her grandfather's seat, where anger was also clear on his face. However, he gave her a reassuring look, signaling that everything was under control.
'This crazy young man is strong. Grandpa will definitely intervene if things take a bad turn and my father's life is in danger, but still, it's risky. I need to have Yu Kuan step in to ensure my father's safety.' Xiao Mi thought, her concern for her father persistent, her eyes now resolute, as if she had made a decision.
She then released Yu Ming's hand and moved closer to him, their bodies brushing together before she gently and lovingly embraced him. "Darling, my father is in danger right now. Please tell Mr. Yu Kuan to intervene, and that way, we'll be able to finish our wedding and our happiness quickly, my dear."
Xiao Mi tried to say this to Yu Ming with as much love and tenderness as possible. She wasn't accustomed to such things, so she didn't know if she had done it well.
"Y… Yes, my dear. I'll tell my father right away, and he'll take care of this scoundrel. Don't worry about Uncle at all." Yu Ming said, stuttering in surprise, as he wrapped his arms around Xiao Mi and embraced her passionately. Xiao Mi had never acted like this with him before, never drawn close to him. She had always been distant, and this was the first time she called him something other than his name.
"Thank you, my dear." Xiao Mi said, her love seemingly fake as she kissed Yu Ming on the cheek, her face turning bright red from embarrassment.
'This is necessary, Xiao Mi. I have to go through with it, I have to go through with it,' Xiao Mi thought, trying to convince herself of how crucial this was, while feeling embarrassed and disgusted at the same time.
Yu Ming stood frozen in place after Xiao Mi kissed him, disbelief written all over his face.
"H... Okay, my dear, no need to thank me. I'll go tell my father right now." Yu Ming said after a moment, snapping out of the sweetness of the kiss, before quickly heading toward his father, a wide smile on his face. It seemed that Xiao Mi's change in treatment had made him forget the chaos at his wedding.
'Hah, it's fine, Xiao Mi. He'll be my husband in the end. The most important thing is ensuring my father's safety and keeping him alive.' Xiao Mi sighed, trying to forget what she had just done, but her face was still red, and it seemed she couldn't forget.
