Chapter 1234: Chapter 1234

"I don’t want it this way either. Those two masters who seriously injured me followed up with a final blow, completely destroying my Dantian."

Tang Ming sighed helplessly, "I’ve said, I know medical skills too, and they’re not weak. If there was any possibility of recovery, I wouldn’t let the rumors fly around."

"Damn it, how could this happen, it’s just too..."

Lin Qingfeng’s face turned grim; he hadn’t expected a generation’s prodigy to be truly ruined , with no chance of recovery. Such a pity.

Tang Ming sighed helplessly, "It’s all because I meddled. Otherwise, I could have stayed in school in Songlan City, not joined the Dark Group, and wouldn’t have encountered such misfortune."

"You, you don’t worry, even if you’ve lost your cultivation, my Lin Family can take care of you for the rest of your life."

Lin Qingfeng firmly expressed his attitude and looked at Niu Fu, "Old Niu, you may go to rest."

"Alright, I take my leave."

Niu Fu nodded, picked up his belongings, and left the private room accompanied by the guards.

After leaving the private room, Niu Fu immediately informed the other families about Tang Ming’s situation.

Soon, the other families also confirmed that Tang Ming’s cultivation was indeed destroyed.

Only Tang Ming and Lin Qingfeng remained. Lin Qingfeng awkwardly looked at Tang Ming, "Little Tang, now that your cultivation has been destroyed, my Lin Family was supposed to stand by you, but now things have changed. I’m not sure how to tell you."

"Uncle Lin, just say whatever you want."

Tang Ming smiled, knowing they were finally getting to the main point.

"Alright, I won’t be overly polite."

Lin Qingfeng gritted his teeth and said apologetically, "As you know, your marriage with Lin Xue was forced by our Lin Family. At that time, because you were an Eight-star Martial Artist and the champion of the martial competition, there was no issue. But now, with the current situation, I’m unable to do anything."

"The Lin Family wants to break off the engagement?"

Tang Ming squinted his eyes, uncertainly looking at Lin Qingfeng. Actually, he wasn’t too concerned about breaking the engagement, but being broken off at this time inevitably made him feel uncomfortable.

"I... I don’t want it this way either, and Lin Xue doesn’t want to break the engagement. She truly wishes to marry you, to be your wife."

Lin Qingfeng sighed helplessly.

"She doesn’t want to break off the engagement? Is that really true?"

Tang Ming looked surprised and doubtful. He hadn’t noticed Lin Xue having any interest in him before. The first time his cultivation was destroyed, he went to say goodbye to Lin Xue, but she wouldn’t even meet him. What’s going on?

"Indeed! My daughter has no desire to break the engagement. She actually has a liking for you; otherwise, given her personality, she wouldn’t have agreed to the engagement even if the family forced her. Am I right?"

Lin Qingfeng rubbed his forehead, realizing this issue only later.

With Lin Xue’s rebellious personality, going to Songlan City to become a small police officer just to avoid family control, how could she be forced into an engagement?

Being able to engage initially showed Lin Xue didn’t reject Tang Ming, but sadly Lin Qingfeng realized this too late.

"Then what are you suggesting?"

Temporarily putting aside Lin Xue’s thoughts, Tang Ming looked at Lin Qingfeng uncertainly.

"I naturally hope you two can marry, but the Su Family disagrees."

Lin Qingfeng sighed again, pushing all the blame onto the Su Family, "Su Tianyu insists that since you are no longer a martial artist, you cannot have multiple wives, forcing Lin Xue to terminate the engagement with you. Moreover, Su Xiaoxi was engaged to you first; our Lin Family has no way to fight for you. We can only agree to let you and Lin Xue break the engagement."

"What trick is the Su Family playing now?"

Upon hearing the Su Family wouldn’t let him break off the engagement, Tang Ming became bewildered. What was happening?

"I’m not sure either, don’t know if they’re genuinely trying to help you or believe your cultivation is still intact. Whatever the case, they have the upper hand first, I can’t do anything."

Lin Qingfeng offered a bitter smile and promptly assured, "However, you can rest assured, if Su Xiaoxi and the Su Family treat you poorly, you can secretly interact with Lin Xue. Once you break off relations with the Su Family in the future, I’ll immediately arrange for you to marry Lin Xue."

"Let’s just forget it, I’d rather stay honest."

Tang Ming quickly shook his head. In any case, the marriage with Lin Xue was considered annulled, relieving a troubling burden, with no reason to invite further trouble.

"No matter what, the friendship between you and the Lin Family won’t be interrupted because you lost your cultivation. If you need Lin Family’s help in the future, feel free to speak up."

Lin Qingfeng solemnly promised.

"Then, thank you. At such times, the Lin Family still offers me assistance; I’ll remember this favor."

Tang Ming sincerely expressed his gratitude and saluted.

"Alright, for now, I have nothing else. You should visit the other families."

Lin Qingfeng shook his head guiltily, feeling a bit confused, and indicated that Tang Ming could leave.

"Then I’ll take my leave."

Tang Ming nodded, got up, and headed out.

Just as Tang Ming was about to leave, Lin Qingfeng couldn’t help but call out.

Tang Ming turned, looking at Lin Qingfeng with confusion.

"Ah, the Lin Family apologizes to you."

Lin Qingfeng sighed. If Lin Canghai hadn’t tricked you into the Dark Group back then, perhaps none of this would be happening now.

"It’s alright, I joined voluntarily, don’t take it to heart."

Tang Ming smiled and gracefully left the private room.

"Lin Xue really doesn’t want to break off the engagement; is it true or false?"

After departing, Tang Ming’s mind was filled with questions, unsure whether Lin Qingfeng’s words were excuses or Lin Xue’s genuine thoughts.

In any case, he had managed to push the marriage issue aside.

Tang Ming walked towards the private room where the Su Family was, arriving at the door, deciding secretly: no matter how the Su Family chose, he would seize this chance to resolutely call off the engagement.

After Tang Ming left, Lin Qingfeng helplessly looked towards the room where Lin Xue was, "Xue’er, come out. He’s gone."

"Dad, is his cultivation truly destroyed?"

Lin Xue asked nervously towards Lin Qingfeng.

"Niu Fu wouldn’t lie to me. His Dantian is ruptured; not even a deity can restore it."

Lin Qingfeng nodded, his face serious, "I must immediately return to the Imperial City. Now it’s certain Tang Xin is truly crippled, so we must prepare to deal with Ming Group’s retaliation."

"I’m not going back."

Lin Xue resolutely shook her head.

"What will you do if you don’t return? You want to continue being a small police officer in Songlan City?"

Lin Qingfeng furrowed his brows.

"He’s already crippled; there will surely be many dangers. I need to stay and protect his safety."

Lin Xue looked towards the door, speaking firmly.

"You’re being ridiculous."

Lin Qingfeng’s face changed slightly, reprimanding, "At Tang Ming’s level, his enemies are at least martial master grade. You, a girl, can’t assist him."
