Rural Romantic Life

Chapter 329 Betrayal by the Family

When Lu Yang saw Shen Yun again with a higher level of understanding and insight, he finally realized that Xiao Tianze and Shen Yun, these young masters and noblemen, were not what ordinary people thought they were, but merely ordinary rich and powerful young masters and noblemen on the surface.

In fact, they are powerful martial artists who are the true rulers of this world, a fact that is difficult for ordinary people to imagine.

As soon as Shen Yun made his move, Lu Yang immediately realized that his opponent was an ancient martial arts practitioner, and that his martial arts strength was not weak.

His cultivation level reached the eighth level of the Acquired Realm.

Just now, Lu Yang used Brother Da Long's corpse to smash the other party, which is why the other party was able to deal with it so easily and then launch a counterattack against him.

Shen Yun kicked the corpse back at Lu Yang, sneering, "Fool, I don't know why Da Long isn't your match, but you still dared to attack me. Well then, today I'll show you just how vast the difference between us truly is!"

Lu Yang replied with equal disdain and mockery, "Is that so?"

boom!

Lu Yang saw the corpse hurtling towards him like a sandbag. If it were an ordinary person, they would not have time to dodge and would be smashed into a daze, suffering serious injuries.

However, Lu Yang was no ordinary person; he followed Shen Yun's example and did the same thing.

With a whoosh, the corpse flew backward at an even faster speed toward Shen Yun, who was scoffing and mocking.

Upon seeing this, Shen Jun was stunned. He was about to reach out and catch it, but the speed was too fast, and he felt that he could not react at all.

However, at that crucial moment, the young nobleman beside him suddenly let out a soft, cold snort: "A mere ant dares to act so arrogantly in front of me!"

puff!

He merely raised his hand casually, and a tangible palm strike of true energy slammed into Shen Yun's corpse, turning it completely into a cloud of blood mist.

Splash!

Then, the blood mist fell onto the floor like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, so poignant and beautiful.

Shen Yun was still somewhat shaken. He had really thought that he was going to be humiliated by Lu Yang in public, and even be injured by the corpse.

However, it was Long Jingyun who stepped in at the crucial moment to help him resolve the crisis. He immediately bowed respectfully to the other party and said gratefully, "Thank you very much for your help, Young Master Jingyun!"

Long Jingyun waved his hand dismissively and said, "Take care of what's at hand quickly. I'll take Wenjing for a stroll around the night market!"

As he spoke, he gave what he considered a very gentlemanly smile to the stunning Shen Wenjing behind Lu Yang, and waved to her, saying, "Wenjing, I've been looking everywhere for you. I never expected to find you here!"

"Come here, come to my side, I'll show you around this night market!"

"Once your cousin has finished dealing with things here, we'll go back to the Shen family together!"

As Shen Yun stepped into the shop, he immediately noticed that his cousin, Shen Wenjing, was also there. He quickly said to her, "Cousin, you just returned from the capital, and Young Master Jingyun chased you all the way to our Shen family in this ancient city. Why don't you take the initiative to show him around this night market and spend some time with Young Master Jingyun while you're at it, cultivating your relationship?"

Shen Wenjing was also extremely surprised at this moment. She did not expect that Brother Dalong was actually one of her cousin's underlings. Even more unexpectedly, she did not expect that she had just gotten rid of the annoying and hateful Long Jingyun in the capital, but in the blink of an eye, he would come chasing her all the way to the Shen family like a leech.

Seeing her cousin's humble and ingratiating demeanor, she guessed that the Shen family, having learned of Long Jingyun's identity and background, was probably already preparing to betray her to the other party.

Without much consideration, she bluntly rejected Long Jingyun, saying, "Long Jingyun, I already rejected you when I was in the capital. I never imagined you would still pursue me all the way to our Shen family!"

"However, I can still tell you this clearly: you're not my type. Please don't waste your time on me anymore; there's no future for us!"

Upon hearing this, Long Jingyun's expression remained unchanged; instead, his smile grew even brighter as he said, "Wenjing, I know you might not be able to accept my feelings right now, but you also know my personality. I won't truly give up!"

Shen Yun suddenly scolded Shen Wenjing angrily, "Wenjing, you're really disrespecting Young Master Jingyun! He's a young master from a powerful family in the capital. In front of so many people, I think you should just agree to let him go for a stroll around the night market!"

"Before you refuse, I have something to tell you: Second Uncle has already agreed to Young Master Jingyun's marriage proposal, and you are now officially his fiancée!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Wenjing was utterly astonished: "What? I'm already Long Jingyun's fiancée?"

"That's impossible! I don't believe my dad really agreed to this marriage!"

Shen Jun looked at the other person's unpleasant expression and said jokingly, "Wenjing cousin, nothing is impossible. Second Uncle is doing this for the future of our entire Shen family!"

"Do you know what a tremendous opportunity Young Master Jingyun has brought to our Shen family by coming all this way to propose marriage?"

"As long as our Shen family agrees to this marriage, we will be under Young Master Jingyun's protection from now on, and the betrothal gifts also include two top-grade, third-rank Breaking Heaven Pills!"

"These two top-grade, third-rank Breaking Heaven Pills are enough to bring two high-level Grandmaster-level martial arts experts to our Shen family. As long as our Shen family has a high-level Grandmaster, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for us to become one of the true eight great families of the ancient city in the future?"

The more Shen Wenjing listened, the more shocked and desperate she became.

It seems that not only her own father, but the entire Shen family is forcing her to agree to marry Long Jingyun in front of her.

However, she still wouldn't truly compromise, and said to Long Jingyun with unwavering resolve, "Long Jingyun, no matter how much dowry you offer our Shen family, or how grand your promises are, I will still not agree to marry you, unless I die!"

Long Jingyun had originally thought that Shen Wenjing would truly compromise and agree to marry him under the pressure from the entire Shen family and his own father.

To his surprise, the other party was so ungrateful that they dared to continue openly slapping him in the face.

He was, after all, a young master from a powerful family in the capital. How could he tolerate such humiliation and indifference? His gaze suddenly swept over Lu Yang and Chu Yuyao, whose eyes lit up at him, and he said to them with a faint, mocking tone, "Wenjing, are these two your friends?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Wenjing sensed the ill intent in the other party's words and couldn't help but angrily retort, "Long Jingyun, what exactly do you mean by asking that? If you dare to harm my two friends, I will swear I will never forgive you!"
