At the sight of the Lin Lineage corpses strewn across the ground, Lin Nantian's fury surged to the heavens.
Ever since the Lin Lineage had entered Xuantian City, who had dared act so brazenly?
At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to tear Qin Wuyou into ten thousand pieces.
But when he thought of Qin Wuyou's current status, he had no choice but to suppress his anger. In a grave voice, he said, "Wuyou, I know the Lin Lineage has wronged you, but you must believe that none of this was my intention. The moment I learned Xue'er had broken off the engagement, I gave her a harsh scolding. She later came to regret it, too. We had already agreed to do everything we could to compensate you for what you lost over these years. Now that you're here, we'll make sure you're satisfied."
Faced with the deaths of his clansmen, Lin Nantian had actually managed to swiftly suppress his anger and even speak so calmly. Even Qin Wuyou was somewhat astonished.
He had originally thought that, upon seeing these Lin Lineage corpses, Lin Nantian would fly into a towering rage as the clan head.
Yet Lin Nantian's current attitude took him by surprise.
"Lin Nantian, I'm nothing but a lowborn mud-legged peasant, unworthy of your Lin Lineage and unworthy of Lin Qingxue! But since you were the ones who broke off the engagement, I've come to collect the compensation owed to me under our agreement!"
Whatever Lin Nantian's attitude might be, Qin Wuyou's would not change. He casually took out the original marriage pact.
The moment the marriage pact was unfolded, Lin Nantian's expression turned extremely ugly.
"Wuyou, the Lin Lineage has wronged you in this matter. But there really is another reason why Xue'er cannot marry you.
