Lin Fan, Child of Destiny, Flies into a Rage—Is This How the Su Family Patriarch Forces His Own Daughter?

As Su Xian'er's two soft, boneless little hands settled on Qin Jiuge's shoulders, a faint blush unconsciously flashed across her breathtakingly beautiful face.

As the Miss of the Su Family, blessed with outstanding cultivation talent, she had been cherished like the apple of their eye by the Su Family ever since childhood. When had she ever done this sort of work serving someone?

But then again, he was the genius of the Second Sequence of the Eternal Qin Family... It was not exactly a grievance...

With that thought, Su Xian'er lightly bit her lip, and her small hands began to apply gentle pressure.

Though her technique was somewhat unpracticed, she still earnestly kneaded Qin Jiuge's shoulders.

Feeling Su Xian'er's soft, boneless hands massaging his shoulders, Qin Jiuge leaned back slightly, nearly resting his entire head against her full, firm softness as though it were a pillow.

Comfortable hums slipped from his mouth. "As expected of a Heavenly Pride Maiden... You surpass others in every way. Even this shoulder-massaging technique is far better than those clumsy-handed maids in my household..."

Hearing this, Su Xian'er could not help blushing.

She was the Eldest Miss of the Su Family in East Departure City. Since when did she need to be mentioned in the same breath as those maids?

Yet, wary of Qin Jiuge's status, she did not dare say much. She merely continued gently kneading his shoulders, one stroke after another.

Unlike Su Xian'er's unease, the Su Family's Elders exchanged glances at Qin Jiuge's praise, delighted smiles appearing on all their faces.

Especially Su Lie, the Patriarch—his eyes narrowed into two thin slits from smiling.

Originally, he had still harbored some doubts over whether Qin Jiuge had truly taken a liking to Su Xian'er.

But after that little episode of shoulder kneading, he was seventy to eighty percent certain that Qin Jiuge had indeed taken a liking to Su Xian'er!

If Su Xian'er truly managed to cling to Qin Jiuge, would their Su Family not soar into the heavens in a single leap?

Given the Qin Family's status and reputation on the Sky Profound Continent, once Su Xian'er married into the Qin Family, who would dare look down on the Su Family afterward?

Furthermore, could they not also get a share of the Qin Family's inexhaustible cultivation resources?

Would they no longer have to worry about the source of Pills, or treat a Lin Fan with merely a bit of alchemy talent like a treasure and worship him?

At that thought, Su Lie and the several Elders hurriedly spoke up.

"If Young Master Qin is willing, you may take Xian'er with you when you leave. Let her attend to you at your side; even serving as a maid would be fine."

"The Patriarch is right. Xian'er has admired heroes most since childhood. Young Master Qin is a brilliant young talent; he is surely an excellent match for Xian'er!"

"A talented man and a beautiful woman, a pair made by heaven..."

Su Lie and the several Elders eagerly tried to matchmake Qin Jiuge and Su Xian'er. As for Lin Fan, whom they had praised and tried to matchmake just moments ago, they had long since cast him to the back of their minds...

On the Sky Profound Continent, the strong were revered.

Though Lin Fan could be considered somewhat talented, what was he compared to Qin Jiuge?

What was more, Qin Jiuge had the Eternal Qin Family at his back!

Whether in personal strength or family background, he surpassed Lin Fan, a menial born of a Groom, by hundreds of times!

Watching the Su Family Elders fawn over Qin Jiuge with near-flattering servility, Lin Fan finally could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

Bang!

The table before him was smashed through by Lin Fan's fist. Then Lin Fan abruptly rose to his feet and angrily rebuked the Su Family Elders present.

"Su Xian'er is the Patriarch's daughter, yet you are pushing her into a pit of fire like this. You are utterly unworthy of being the family's elders!"

"From beginning to end, no one has asked Xian'er what she wants. By doing this, can you truly face Xian'er?"

At those words, the Elders present and Patriarch Su Lie turned pale in shock, before fury immediately surged through them.

Just now, they had been immersed in the beautiful dream of Su Xian'er clinging to Qin Jiuge, that great tree, and bringing endless benefits to the Su Family. They had forgotten Lin Fan completely.

They had not expected Lin Fan to make trouble at this moment...

"Shut your mouth!"

Su Lie's expression changed instantly. With his face livid, he glared at Lin Fan and roared, "You are nothing but a Groom. What right do you have to speak here?"

"If it were not for the Su Family... no one knows where you would have died long ago!"

"If you dare show further disrespect to Young Master Qin, this old man will personally act and remove you, this poisonous tumor of the Su Family!"

Faced with Su Lie's harsh reprimand, Lin Fan completely tore off all pretense as well.

"I am only seeking justice for Xian'er!"

"Seeking justice for Xian'er? Hahahahaha!"

Su Lie pointed at Lin Fan and laughed so hard he swayed back and forth.

"As Xian'er's father, how could this old man harm his own daughter?"

"And when has Xian'er ever needed you to seek justice for her!?"

Looking at the cold and indifferent Su Lie, Lin Fan could scarcely believe his own eyes.

Was this still that kind and amiable Uncle Su, who had treated him like his own son?

He still remembered Su Lie patting his shoulder, telling him to work hard, and promising that once he achieved something in the future, he would give Xian'er to him in marriage...

So why had everything changed the moment Qin Jiuge appeared?

Lin Fan turned to look at Su Xian'er.

He believed that, with the pride of a Divine Maiden, Su Xian'er would never agree to become someone else's maid...

Not even if that person came from the Eternal Qin Family!

Yet, when his gaze met that Heavenly Pride Maiden who had once shared a hint of ambiguity with him, he was shocked to discover that Su Xian'er slightly turned her cheek aside, avoiding his gaze!

What was going on?

Lin Fan could not help feeling stunned.

Just a few days ago, Su Xian'er had visited his room, given him quite a few cultivation materials, and encouraged him to cultivate diligently so that he could rise above others in the future.

He had always regarded Su Xian'er as the Goddess in his heart, not daring to entertain even the slightest disrespectful thought.

But now, how could Su Xian'er...

Lin Fan felt as though his world had collapsed...

At that moment, while Qin Jiuge sat in his chair, calmly watching this excellent show and enjoying Su Xian'er's shoulder-massaging service, the system's notification sounded in his mind.

[Congratulations, Host. You have struck at the Child of Destiny's fortune and received a reward: ten Azure Profound Pills.]

Hearing the system notification, the corners of Qin Jiuge's lips lifted slightly, curling into a somewhat wicked smile.

It seemed his guess had not been wrong at all. This Lin Fan truly was a Child of Destiny.

Through this series of moves, he had successfully shaken Lin Fan's Dao heart and left flaws in his resolve, even seizing a portion of his fortune.

As for the Azure Profound Pills, Qin Jiuge knew about them as well.

They were merely Pills capable of helping Spirit Nurturing Realm cultivators break through to the Spirit Sea Realm.

Though they could be considered priceless, they were completely useless to him, who had long since broken through to the Spirit Sea Realm. Still, as a reward for striking at a Child of Destiny, they were better than nothing...
