Marrying Wives and Attaining Immortality in a Chaotic World

Chapter 92: The Second Young Master and the Second Young Miss

Lin Wan entered the living room first, followed by Xu Lian. Inside, they found Lin Yue and Hua Rongjun, as well as a young man dressed in luxurious attire and a young woman adorned with multiple accessories on her head.

They were probably the second young master and second young lady of the Lin family, namely Tong Miao of the Tong family and Lin Ying.

Upon seeing Lin Wan, Lin Ying glanced at her briefly and said, “The older sister has arrived, please take a seat.” However, she did not stand up or greet Lin Wan.

Tong Miao, on the other hand, picked up his tea cup and took a sip, his gaze fixed on Lin Wan as he carefully examined her appearance and figure.

This made Xu Lian furrow his brow. What was the second young lady of the Lin family doing? She was treating Lin Wan like a guest, and not even a respected one at that. And what was Tong Miao doing staring at Lin Wan so brazenly?

Lin Wan remained silent and simply found a place to sit down. Xu Lian also greeted Lin Yue and Hua Rongjun before sitting next to Lin Wan.

When Xu Lian, a young man, sat down next to Lin Wan, Lin Ying and Tong Miao were taken aback.

Tong Miao asked, “Who is this?”

Hua Rongjun smiled and introduced him, “He is Xu Lian, a guest who was originally brought home by Yu’er to stay with us. Now he is in a relationship with our older daughter, although it’s not public yet.”

For some reason, Tong Miao’s expression turned gloomy and he fell silent.

Lin Ying became angry and said, “Elder sister, you are looking for a man without even consulting me!”

Xu Lian found this strange. Why would Lin Wan need to consult with Lin Ying?

Lin Yue, who had been silent until now, lightly tapped the table and scolded, “Lin Ying, watch your attitude. You’ve been back in the Lin family for a few days, and your mother and I are happy to have you. However, if you’re only here to show off your status as the young mistress of the Tong family, then you’re doing it in the wrong place.

Your elder sister is looking for a husband, and as long as your mother and I are in agreement, why do you need to be consulted?

You’ve been married into the Tong family for a while now, and your mother and I thought you’d learn to be more reasonable. But it seems that you’re becoming more and more rude, to the point where you don’t even understand the proper order of seniority.”

Lin Ying’s anger dissipated after being scolded, but her eyes turned red and her voice became choked as she said, “Father, you’re misunderstanding me. I’m only doing this for the benefit of the Lin family.”

Lin Yue looked confused and asked, “How is this for the benefit of the Lin family?”

Lin Ying looked at Lin Wan and explained, “Our Lin family may not be a powerful or wealthy clan, but we do have some influence. The marriages of our children cannot be taken lightly. We must form alliances with families stronger than ours to expand our family’s power. There’s no reason to settle for someone inferior.

My older sister was with a loose cultivator in the past, and I didn’t say anything about it since I was still young.

But now that our older sister has the chance to choose again, she can’t just pick anyone. Our family’s reputation is at stake.”

Lin Yue opened his mouth to speak but hesitated, looking at Xu Lian’s expression. He was worried that this conversation would offend Xu Lian, but he couldn’t reveal Xu Lian’s background to Tong Miao as they had no relation to each other.

Hua Rongjun also didn’t want to reveal too much, so she just smiled and said, “We understand that you’re thinking of the Lin family’s best interests, but our elder daughter has been a widow for ten years, and no other family has come to propose marriage. It’s clear that they are hesitant because of her past. Xu Lian, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to mind, and he has a good relationship with our older daughter.”

Lin Ying urged, “Who says that no other family is interested in our elder sister? With her appearance and figure, other families would still be willing to take her as a concubine. The Tong family has even expressed interest.

In fact, I’ve already discussed this with the Tong family, and if our older sister is willing to join them, they’ll provide funds to purchase a spiritual cultivation institute on First Street where both families can cultivate together. It would be beneficial for both of us.

But now our elder sister has found someone without consulting me, so I have no idea how to explain this to the Tong family.”

Xu Lian asked curiously, “Who would she be a concubine to in the Tong family?”

Lin Ying frowned at him, seemingly unwilling to respond, but she nonetheless replied, “You’re really naive. Of course it would be my husband, Tong Miao. He’s the eldest son of the Tong family, and who else would be worthy of our elder sister?”

The room fell silent again.

Xu Lian was shocked, unsure whether to praise Lin Ying as a good sister or a good wife, her ideas were truly unique and even bizarre. However, in this world, such things were not uncommon, and Xu Lian’s limited experience was to blame.

Xu Lian’s anger flared up, “You want my woman to be the concubine of your family’s man? You’ve got some nerve, I think you’d make a good concubine yourself.”

The room fell silent again.

Tong Miao suddenly stood up, his eyes cold and menacing as he glared at Xu Lian, “What are you talking about?”

Xu Lian also stood up, his words slow and deliberate, “I’m saying get out of here, stop trying to control my woman.”

Tong Miao’s face turned red with rage, “You are the door of death!”

With a loud “crack”, Tong Miao’s hand formed a fist, and a white mist resembling steam rose from it. He punched Xu Lian with a fierce scream.

Xu Lian’s eyes narrowed and his hand also rose, with a white mist dancing on his palm like flames. He slapped Tong Miao’s face, testing his thickness.

The sound of the punch and the slap echoed through the room. Tong Miao’s fist hit Xu Lian’s chest, making him feel like he had been struck by a raging bull. His chest ached and burned.

However, this punch also allowed Xu Lian to gauge Tong Miao’s strength, which was around the third stage of the Bright Strength Level, slightly weaker than his own.

At the same time, Xu Lian’s punch hit Tong Miao’s face, sending him flying across the room. Tong Miao crashed into a tea table and chairs, shattering them, and landed heavily on the ground, coughing up blood and leaving a deep handprint on his face.

Both men were injured, but Xu Lian’s wounds were relatively lighter, and he only coughed up a little blood. This was the advantage of deeper cultivation.

“Stop!”

Lin Yue’s face changed dramatically as he rushed over to intervene, not expecting the two men to come to blows so quickly.

With a swift movement, he positioned himself between Xu Lian and Tong Miao, preventing them from fighting again.

Hua Rongjun looked at Tong Miao and then at Xu Lian, hesitating for a moment before going to Xu Lian’s side, “Xu Lian, are you okay?”

Lin Wan quickly moved to Xu Lian’s side and stood in front of him, her eyes cold and menacing as she glared at Tong Miao, “If you dare to touch my husband again, I’ll kill you!”

Lin Ying was shocked and screamed, her face pale as she rushed to Tong Miao’s side to tend to his wounds.

The maids were in a state of panic and fled the room in disarray.

Lin Yue sighed and took out two healing pills from his spatial bag, handing one to Lin Wan for Xu Lian and the other to Lin Ying for Tong Miao, “This is a healing pill, take it quickly.”

Lin Wan held the medicinal pill up to Xu Lian’s mouth, and Xu Lian swallowed it.

Xu Lian felt the pill dissolve in his stomach, transforming into a warm current that surged up to his chest. To his surprise, the pain in his chest quickly subsided, and he was amazed by the pill’s efficacy. He made a mental note of this, thinking that now that he had spirit stones, he could purchase some medicinal pills to heal his wounds and detoxify his body.

Lin Ying also gave Tong Miao a pill.

Tong Miao’s condition improved significantly, but the deep palm print on his face didn’t fade away as quickly.

With Lin Ying’s help, Tong Miao stood up and looked at Xu Lian. He calmed down, realizing that the young man’s strength was not inferior to his own, and might even be slightly superior. This made him cautious, as someone so young with such impressive abilities was unlikely to be a rogue cultivator. He must be from a family with great influence and power.
