Regret

"Then I'll have no choice but to report today's events to the Demon Purging Division truthfully!"

Lin Feng naturally knew that a thousand taels of silver was nothing to the Xu family!

It was still within their means to bear.

But he couldn't ask for more, otherwise, Xu Qiang might pay his home a visit tonight!

Making him cut off a piece of flesh now was far from crippling him.

The other party wouldn't do anything too excessive!

Seeing Lin Feng's expression, which seemed to say, "You hate me, but you can't do anything about it."

Xu Qiang gritted his teeth in anger.

Xu Xiong, who was beside him, was severely injured and urgently needed treatment. They couldn't delay any longer.

So he fumbled in his embrace, took out a bank note, and handed it to Lin Feng.

Then he took his men and carried Xu Xiong away!

He had taken this loss.

This morning, Yan Song didn't show up for roll call, and he already felt it was strange!

Combining that with the fact that A'Le and his group had all been wiped out, he deduced that Yan Song must have taken action personally.

But the man was missing, and he couldn't be found at the Spring Red Brothel or at home.

So he brought two men and wanted to come to the shantytown to check the situation.

This was how he happened to witness Lin Feng injuring his nephew!

"I didn't expect this kid to be so unassuming, yet he actually passed the Demon Purging Division's assessment!

He must have someone backing him!

But the enmity has already been forged. Even if we stop now, if the other party grows stronger, will they let our Xu family off?

Impossible!

A'Le and his group also died mysteriously!

Without a Hall Master making a move, Zhao Sheng was also attending the Zhao family's grand ceremony that day!

Lin Yu was Zhao Sheng's confidant.

It seems this matter is inextricably linked to Lin Feng!

Since that's the case, let the Green Snake Gang deal with this Lin Feng!

If that doesn't work, I'll find another opportunity to assassinate Lin Feng!

But not now. I just had a confrontation with him, and the person died within a few days.

Even a fool would suspect me!"

Not long after, Xu Qiang carried Xu Xiong back to the Xu family and began treatment.

This is a story for another time.

"Brother Lin, you've joined the Demon Purging Division Reserve Camp?"

The Zhu family, who had witnessed everything just now, were stunned!

They never expected that Lin Feng was not only powerful but had also entered the Demon Purging Division Reserve Camp!

That was the most coveted place for aspiring young men in the entire county!

It represented true identity, potential, and a bright future!

"Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Aunt Zhu said with a tone of reproach!

If she had known earlier that Lin Feng had entered the Demon Purging Division Reserve Camp, how could she have let Zhu Cui'er get engaged to that Xu Xiong!

Although the other party had money, he was just a cripple!

And he looked like a pig!

But Lin Feng was exceptionally handsome and had always treated their Cui'er wonderfully!

Most importantly, he was someone from the Demon Purging Division!

Lin Feng heard this and ignored them. These people were shrewd and too calculating.

They would never wrong themselves and were as thick-skinned as a wall.

At this moment, Mother Lin and Lin Man rushed out and supported Lin Feng.

They worriedly felt him all over, saw the blood on his lip, and were in a hurry to take him to the doctor.

"Butcher Zhu, why are you and your family still lingering here? If you're leaving, hurry up! My family doesn't welcome you!"

Mother Lin, seeing this group of ungrateful wretches swarming around like flies drawn to meat, felt extremely annoyed!

"Sister-in-law, after so many years together, how can you say such things to someone?"

Aunt Zhu said with a smile. Mother Lin had indeed never spoken such harsh words to anyone before; she had always maintained a gentle image.

Butcher Zhu also chuckled, wanting to get closer to them.

Like Zhu Cui'er, after a few days of good living, he had already abandoned his pride!

He had become shameless.

"Can you even still be considered human?"

Mother Lin pulled Lin Feng and prepared to leave.

"Mother, I'm fine. I just need to circulate my energy to recover. You and Little Sister should go back first!"

Lin Feng said with a smile to his mother and sister.

Zhu Cui'er had remained silent until now, deep in thought.

How to win back Lin Feng.

How to make Lin Feng accept her again!

Seeing Lin Feng finally show a smile, she immediately made her move!

"Brother Lin, it's all my fault! These things were all caused by me!"

As she spoke, tears began to fall from Zhu Cui'er's eyes.

"Actually, I only agreed to Xu Qiang because he forced me. He threatened you, saying if I didn't go with him, he would beat you to death!

It's all my fault for not being able to help you and instead causing you trouble!

It's only right for you to not want me!

I can only blame myself!"

Zhu Cui'er burst into tears, a sound that would make the heartbroken weep and the listeners shed tears.

In just a few sentences, she had painted herself as a pitiful, decent girl forced by a brute, sacrificing herself for her beloved.

And she didn't even ask for anything in return, making it seem as if Lin Feng owed her by not wanting her!

At this moment, the neighbors standing nearby stepped forward again.

Seeing Zhu Cui'er crying her eyes out, they all began to persuade Lin Feng.

"Brother Lin, Cui'er is a good girl. You grew up together. This is fate!"

"That's right! To think he actually went to such lengths for you!

That Xu Qiang is too much!"

"Exactly! My Cui'er only pretended to agree to that Xu Qiang for you!"

"We were all forced! Brother Lin, you must understand us!"

These people started spewing words, launching a barrage of moral blackmail at Lin Feng.

"Heh!"

Lin Feng let out a cold laugh. He had already seen through the true faces of the Zhu family and these neighbors long ago!

He sneered.

If there is no morality, then others cannot use it to blackmail you!

"Fine, then according to your wishes, I won't want you!"

"And all of you, if you dare to say another word, I will send you all to the Demon Purging Division!"

Lin Feng roared, instantly silencing everyone!

For these people, saying another word would be a waste of life!

"Take back the silver ingots that Xu Xiong threw. I said before that if you were getting married, you should let me know.

I would give you a congratulatory gift!

I'll give these silver ingots to your Zhu family as a wedding gift.

I don't fancy them anyway.

When you get married, you don't need to tell me!"

Lin Feng pointed at the silver ingots on the ground and said to the entire Zhu family.

Then, he turned around and walked directly into his own home!

He would be moving to the outer city in the next two days anyway, so he wouldn't have to hear these neighbors' idle gossip anymore.

He wouldn't have to see these ugly faces again.

Watching the door slam shut, Butcher Zhu and his wife were dumbfounded.

They thought their daughter's move was brilliant, but they never expected Lin Feng to be so indifferent to his reputation.

He wasn't afraid of others' gossip.

The thought of Lin Feng's bright future ahead made them feel as sick as if they had eaten feces.

Meanwhile, Zhu Cui'er, seeing Lin Feng's expression devoid of any emotion towards her, collapsed onto the ground.

She burst into tears.

This time, her regret was genuine, her tears born of sadness.

Unlike before, when she was merely acting.

Thinking back to the choices she had made, she was filled with regret!

She had rejected such a perfect husband – kind to her, handsome, skilled in martial arts, and accepted into the Demon Purging Division.

Instead, she had chosen the ugly, crippled Xu Xiong, who frequented the Spring Red Brothel!

She was simply an idiot!

She had originally thought that if she said a few soft words, she might be able to return to Lin Feng's side, but now, seeing her current state, it seemed impossible!

"What are you crying about? If it weren't for you, you little brat, how could this golden opportunity have slipped away!

And you have the nerve to cry!"

Aunt Zhu, seeing her daughter, grew more and more enraged and began scolding Zhu Cui'er!
