My Most Beautiful Fiancée

Wei Nianru’s mind raced, but she couldn’t figure it out.

For the Ning Family to act this way at a time like this was, by any measure, unreasonable.

But they were just that domineering, and they did it anyway.

Sun Tiandang had already recognized Wei Nianru.

”You’re the young miss of the Wei Family, Wei Nianru, right?”

Wei Nianru lifted her chin, revealing her slender neck. ”That’s right, it’s me!”

Sun Tiandang said, ”What’s there to be arrogant about? You left others to die at Hidden Sword Manor. That’s a capital offense you can’t escape.”

’What does that have to do with anything?’ Wei Nianru thought. ’I was the absolute victim at Hidden Sword Manor. The fact that Mu Lin saved me was already a blessing from my ancestors.’

But in Sun Tiandang’s eyes, anyone who went against the Ning Family’s wishes deserved to die.

He raised his palm and struck out in Wei Nianru’s direction.

With a cry, Wei Nianru was sent flying, spitting up blood in mid-air.

The force was immense, like being hit head-on by a speeding car.

She was instantly and grievously injured.

Sun Tiandang glanced at Divine Doctor Zhao.

”If I were you, I’d hurry up and call Mu Lin and tell him to come here to die. Time is running out. If the one-hour limit passes, you’ll be the ones to die.”

Divine Doctor Zhao felt utterly helpless, hating that he was just a physician. His healing skills weren’t even that great, and he hadn’t learned a single thing about how to kill.

Otherwise, how could this Sun Tiandang have the chance to be so audacious?

On the surface of a frozen lake, an ice pillar nearly ten meters tall had appeared, and Mu Lin stood atop it.

This was also a form of training, meant to strengthen his control over cold energy.

At that moment, Mu Lin was quite satisfied.

His phone rang. Mu Lin answered, and as he listened, his eyes suddenly hardened. The ice pillar beneath his feet exploded into dust with a BOOM.

Not only that, but the entire surface of the frozen lake fractured and shattered into powder.

It was as if God himself had decided he wanted a snack and made a giant shaved ice.

Mu Lin had already vanished, leaving only a white streak across the lake’s surface.

Mu Lin flew through the air, his feet tapping in quick succession, accelerating his speed.

In just a few breaths, he had already appeared outside the Holy Medicine Hall.

Just as he was about to enter, a man blocked his path.

Mu Lin glanced over and saw it was that Mr. Qingshan from Hidden Sword Manor.

”A good dog doesn’t block the road. I have urgent business, so get lost!” Mu Lin spoke bluntly. He was truly in a hurry and couldn’t be bothered with pleasantries.

But Mr. Qingshan said seriously, ”Divine Doctor Mu, a life is at stake. Could you spare a moment?”

”No!”

Mu Lin turned to leave as soon as he spoke.

”Young friend, hear me out. If you still want to leave after that, I won’t stop you!”

A deep, hoarse voice called out. Mu Lin turned his head to look.

It was a man with a long beard, dressed all in black, with a sword hanging from his waist.

Standing beside him was Steward Jiang, Jiang Lan.

”Are you the Manor Master of Hidden Sword Manor?” Mu Lin asked, making an assumption. After all, with Jiang Lan standing by his side, who else could he be but the Manor Master?

Jiang Lan pressed her lips together. ”Please don’t speak nonsense, this is my father! However, on occasions when it is inconvenient for the Manor Master to appear, my father usually acts on their behalf.”

This gave Mu Lin a headache. ’What is this situation?’

’Acting on behalf of someone?’

With Sun Tiandang waiting to be dealt with inside the Holy Medicine Hall, Mu Lin’s head was truly throbbing.

”I’m not interested in this. Don’t block my way!” Mu Lin said.

The hoarse-voiced man continued, ”Divine Doctor Mu, I don’t think you will refuse.”

’On what grounds?’

Mu Lin was about to curse when a stunningly beautiful woman stepped out of a car.

When Mu Lin saw her, even he was captivated by the woman’s appearance.

The woman was truly beautiful. Dressed all in white, she was tall and slender, with long, shapely legs. Her oval face had perfectly proportioned features that would make anyone gasp in admiration.

Jiang Lan said, ”This is our Manor Master!”

Mu Lin was speechless. No wonder they said Jiang Lan’s father acted on her behalf on inconvenient occasions.

’Being that beautiful, there probably aren’t many places she can go, huh?’

Mu Lin recalled his master’s teachings: never trust a beautiful woman, but also never hit a woman.

His choice at this moment was simple.

”Tell your people to move. I have urgent business.”

Luo Wanqing was a little disappointed. There was no emotion in Mu Lin’s gaze, let alone any desire.

It was as if her beauty didn’t exist.

This was a considerable blow to her confidence. She pursed her lips and said sternly, ”For the sake of your own life, I advise you to turn around and leave!”

Mu Lin narrowed his eyes. ”But I have something very important to do. If I turn and leave now, it would be the same as leaving my friends in a dangerous situation.”

”Mr. Mu, did you know that the Ning Family was behind Huang Fengnian, the man you killed?”

Mu Lin said, ”I didn’t know before, but I know now. Does it make a difference?”

”Then do you know that one of Master Ning’s subordinates is his carefully groomed adopted son, named Sun Tiandang, whose strength is already at the highest level?”

”If you just push open that door and go in, I’m afraid it will be extremely dangerous for you.”

’You’ve said all this just because you don’t want me to go save them, right?’ Mu Lin thought.

’But lives are at stake. How could I not go save them?’

”Impossible. Sun Tiandang wants to kill my friends, that’s a certainty. I have to go save them.”

Luo Wanqing said, ”I have a way to rescue your friends, but after it’s done, you have to agree to one request of mine!”

Mu Lin chuckled. ”What’s your method? Why don’t you tell me first?”

Luo Wanqing said, ”My word carries a lot of weight with Sun Tiandang. He’ll listen to me.”

Mu Lin sneered. ”That’s not a solution. You seem to have too much confidence in your beauty.”

What did he mean by that! Luo Wanqing’s face flushed with anger. Jiang Lan scolded him on her behalf:

”You uncouth brute, you have no sense of appreciation! Do you have any idea how many people wish to marry our Manor Master and can’t?”

Mu Lin said, ”Well, it doesn’t include me!”

With that, his movements became a blur. He bypassed Mr. Qingshan’s block and shot straight ahead.

Luo Wanqing’s face turned pale. She was clearly fuming.

”Good grief. I kindly tried to persuade him, but he treated me like a liar.”

Jiang Lan said, ”Miss, let’s not worry about him! Just let him be!”

Luo Wanqing had thought so too, but then she remembered that certain matters could only be handled by Mu Lin. She sighed and said:

”No, I can’t. If he goes and gets himself killed, when will I ever find a cure for my poison? There probably aren’t many doctors in the world with his level of skill. Besides the two Holy Doctors, Hua and Sun, he might be the only one who can save me.”

She spoke with immense sorrow.

Jiang Lan let out a long sigh. ”Manor Master, you have a point!”

Luo Wanqing sighed. ”Let’s go. Even if I have to throw away all my pride, I have to save him.”

The feeling of having to ask someone for a favor was truly awful.

Jiang Lan’s heart ached for Luo Wanqing. She said, ”Manor Master, let’s just give up on Mu Lin. The world is a big place, can’t we find someone else who can cure this?”

Luo Wanqing gave a wry smile. ”Actually, I was also hoping to win him over. With Mu Lin’s current strength, he definitely can’t defeat Sun Tiandang. If I save him in his most desperate moment, he’ll owe me a huge favor. I could use that opportunity to recruit him into the Manor, wouldn’t that be great?”

Jiang Lan’s face immediately crumpled like a piece of waste paper. ’Not great, not great, this is absolutely not great at all!’

If she had to spend every day with this Mu Lin, she would go crazy.

The three of them reached an agreement and headed straight for the Holy Medicine Hall.

Inside the Holy Medicine Hall, Sun Tiandang, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly snapped them open, his killing intent radiating outwards.

A figure landed in the courtyard of the Holy Medicine Hall, carrying Wei Nianru, whose breathing had now stabilized.

’Leaving her out in the hot sun would make her sick even if she wasn’t injured. I have to bring her somewhere cool to keep her safe.’

After a moment of observation, Sun Tiandang recognized him as Mu Lin.

The ultimate target of this operation.

Everything he had done just now was merely laying the groundwork to lure Mu Lin here to his death.

”I gave you an hour, but you only took a little over ten minutes. Are you in such a hurry to die?”

Seeing that Mu Lin’s fate was sealed, Sun Tiandang became more talkative.

Mu Lin glanced around and saw Divine Doctor Zhao holding Zhao Ling’er. A few needles were stuck in Zhao Ling’er’s body to stabilize her condition, and her breathing was currently steady.

Confirming that Zhao Ling’er was okay, Mu Lin grew much bolder.

Divine Doctor Zhao tried to walk toward Mu Lin, but Sun Tiandang punched the nearby wall with a BOOM, forcing Divine Doctor Zhao to stay by the wall to protect Zhao Ling’er.

Sun Tiandang said coldly, ”You’re noisy. Did I give you permission to shout?”

Mu Lin walked up to Sun Tiandang, not bothering to hide his killing intent. ”I’m the one who killed Huang Fengnian. Why are you going after them?”

”Are you just ignorant, or what?”
