At that moment—
Yi Jian, who had been sent flying, climbed to his feet.
Seeing Ye Chen rescued by Fang Chang, he clenched his fists in fury.
He had been this close to killing Ye Chen to avenge his father and wash away the shame of Sword Name Manor. Who could have guessed that Fang Chang, that bastard, would ruin everything at the last moment?
"Young as you are, you've already broken through to Great Emperor and possess such formidable sword skills. You must be Yi Jian, the young manor lord of Sword Name Manor, right?"
After flattering Master San Nong, Lin Hao smiled as he approached Yi Jian.
He felt terribly pressed for time. He had to win over as many allies as possible, so Qin Feng would feel that if he pulled one thread, the whole web would unravel.
Only then could he avoid being framed out of nowhere.
Otherwise, Qin Feng could casually make up an excuse to pin something on the Lin family, and they wouldn't even have anyone to cry foul on their behalf. They'd have no choice but to let the Qin Emperor play his Nine Generations Eradication game.
"Greetings, City Lord Lin. I am indeed Yi Jian!"
Yi Jian might not have been a good person, but he had manners. He hurriedly clasped his hands in a polite return greeting.
"Young Manor Lord, you're too kind!"
Lin Hao quickly put his social graces to work. "If Young Friend Yi hadn't injured Ye Chen just now, who knows how much longer that battle would have dragged on? Now that it's over, I hope you'll do me the honor of coming to my humble home for a cup of wine."
"I'd be glad to!"
Yi Jian glanced at Lin Yuan and readily accepted.
