Chapter 264: Pulling the Tiger's Skin
Hearing that Tang Zhongzhong wanted to use Tang Yiyao to marry the Gu family, Ling Fan's mind suddenly remembered that before the family banquet began, he heard the old man's words.
The prestige of the Tang family in Zhongzhou is getting worse day by day, and if you want to change this situation, in addition to the emergence of a top powerhouse in the family, there is also the most direct way, which is to marry.
Through marriage, form a solid alliance with a large family, which is a method often used by countless families with a long heritage, when there is no strong person in the clan, and when there is no succession.
This method, Ling Fan also wanted to use it for the Dao Sect, but he didn't expect that at this time, this method was used by Tang Zhongzhong and wanted to use it on Tang Yiyao.
Before coming back, Ling Fan had a guess that just like the Ning family at the beginning, most of the marriages of the descendants in the big family were difficult to decide by themselves.
But Ling Fan didn't expect that even if Tang Yiyao's marriage was not in her own hands, she was so fast, almost just after she came back, she was arranged out by Tang Zhongzhong.
Where is this treating Tang Yiyao as a clansman of the same blood and blood, and it is clearly used as a tool to help the Tang family stabilize its power.
Hearing Ling Fan and Tang Yiyao refuse in unison.
Tang Zhongzhong looked at Ling Fan again.
"Hmph, do you have the right to refuse?"
The voice of disdain came into Ling Fan's ears, smiled lightly, and continued: "Ling Fan, if you take Tang Yiyao back, if you take Tang Yiyao back≈∮, I won't care about you if you offend before, but if you say anything disrespectful again, don't blame my Tang family for not showing mercy!"
"No more mercy, have you ever shown me any mercy?"
Since Tang Zhongzhong didn't give Ling Fan any affection, Ling Fan didn't have to respect the other party.
"I took Tang Yiyao to climb mountains and wade through waters, just to return to Tang's house, but since you came here, have you ever greeted me?"
Ling Fan did not hide from Tang Zhongzhong's angry eyes in the slightest, and looked at him, and the sharp words in his mouth came out loudly like cannonballs.
"It's okay if you don't greet me, but do you know that Yiyao doesn't want to eat every day in order to find her home, originally she thought that when she returned here, she would definitely find the feeling of home and feel the warmth of home, but what did you do?"
"Holding a family banquet seems to be to welcome Yiyao, but in fact, it is to use her as a tool for marriage, is this something that a personal uncle can do? I'm afraid that even a stranger with a little conscience can't do it."
"Presumptuous!"
Seeing Ling Fan's words, he was merciless, and even made many people of the Tang family bow their heads in shame, and Tang Zhongzhong immediately shouted angrily.
"You doll, you dare to spread rumors here, I tell you that this is the Tang family, not the Eastern Wilderness, so you can't go wild here!"
"Come on, tie him up for me!"
As soon as Tang Zhongzhong's words fell, four or five strong men immediately walked out from a distance.
These four or five people, each of whom is no less than the Jindan stage, have a fat face, and they look extremely fierce.
As soon as these people appeared, they immediately rushed towards Ling Fan.
But at this time, Ling Fan's face did not change, he glanced at these people fiercely, and snorted loudly.
"You dare!"
Ling Fan's voice rose into the sky, although this voice was not a soul attack like a six-character mantra, but the effect was almost the same.
As the voice sounded, the arrogance that soared into the sky emanated from around Ling Fan's body.
This momentum was invisible, but it made the fierce few people stop and look at Ling Fan in surprise, as if curious, being in the Tang family, surrounded by people from the Tang family, almost fish on the chopping board, where did this arrogance come from?
"Are you trying to provoke a war between the Eastern Wilderness Academy and the Tang family?"
Seeing that these strong men seemed to be about to rush towards him, Ling Fan shouted again.
As soon as the words came out this time, several strong men did not dare to step forward.
Although in their mouths, the Eastern Wilderness is a poor and remote land, compared with Zhongzhou, it is almost heaven and earth. But the Eastern Wilderness Academy, after all, is the strongest force in the entire Eastern Wilderness, and their Tang family is only one of the larger families in Zhongzhou.
With the power of one family, if you want to fight against the entire Eastern Wilderness, even if the people of the Eastern Wilderness are lowly in cultivation, it is not something that a single family can fight.
If the Tang family really fights with the Eastern Wilderness Academy, even if the Eastern Wilderness Academy can be severely damaged, the Tang family will inevitably be destroyed at the cost of destruction.
This kind of responsibility is not something that these strong men who are obedient to orders can bear.
Although these people were also a little skeptical of Ling Fan's words, and doubted whether Ling Fan's life and death could provoke a big battle between the academy and the Tang family, they couldn't afford to gamble, and they were not qualified to participate in such a bet.
Ling Fan's words not only shocked these people, but also stunned everyone present.
At this time, everyone was a little curious, what was the origin of this Ling Fan, who could actually let the Eastern Wilderness Academy launch a war against the Tang family for him!
For a while, the entire inner courtyard of the Tang family was unusually silent, and it was not until after half a sound that Tang Zhongzhong spoke again.
"Ling Fan, you scredgy child, who do you think you are, could it be that the Eastern Wilderness Academy will be the enemy of my Tang family for you?"
Tang Zhongzhong snorted coldly, and without waiting for Ling Fan to speak, he had already spoken first.
"Don't you know your identity, you're just the sect master of a second-rate force in the Eastern Wilderness, although you have made some fame, do you think these fame are enough to make the Eastern Wilderness Academy stand out for you?"
Others didn't know Ling Fan's identity, but Tang Zhongzhong, who was the head of the Tang family, knew it clearly.
Ling Fan's words just now really stunned him, but with a simple thought in his heart, he immediately denied what Ling Fan said.
However, in the face of Tang Zhongzhong's questioning, although Ling Fan's heart trembled, his face did not show it at all, and even a trace of disdain appeared between his eyebrows.
"Hmph, you are still the head of the Tang family, but the news is not so well-informed. ”
Seeing Tang Zhongzhong's brows suddenly furrowed, Ling Fan immediately continued: "Since you know that I am the sect master of the Dao Sect, don't you know that our Dao Sect has formed an alliance with the Eastern Wilderness Academy? What's more, in addition to being the master of a sect, I am also a teacher of Jingzhou Academy!"
"Jingzhou College is one of the only four colleges of higher learning in the Eastern Wilderness!"
Of course Tang Zhongzhong knew about Ling Fan's status as a teacher in the academy, but after receiving the news, he didn't care too much, after all, in the Eastern Wilderness, there were many colleges of various levels, and there were countless people with the identity of teachers.
However, when Ling Fan mentioned Jingzhou Academy, Tang Zhongzhong had a solemn expression on his face.
In the Eastern Wilderness, although there are many teachers, there are not many teachers in colleges and universities, after all, there are only four colleges in the huge East Wilderness.
To be able to become a teacher in such an academy, they are all important members of the Eastern Wilderness Academy, if you kill one of them, you can't say it, it will really attract the revenge of the entire Eastern Wilderness Academy!
In this way, hearing Ling Fan's words, Tang Zhongzhong couldn't refute it, and he also believed a little bit that Ling Fan's life and death could affect the remarks of the Eastern Wilderness Academy.
However, after all, he was the patriarch of a generation, and he was actually offended by Ling Fan's words just now, even if he was afraid of the Eastern Wilderness Academy, he still wanted to vent his anger at Ling Fan in his heart.
Frowning. For the first time, he put away his seemingly innocent smile, his eyes flashed with an uncertain light, and his body inadvertently exuded a fierce aura.
Although this breath was subconsciously issued, the target was not Ling Fan, but in Ling Fan's feelings, it was no longer able to resist.
At this time, Ling Fan was very sure that Tang Zhongzhong's cultivation was at least not weaker than Sun Han at the beginning.
Sun Han was a cultivator in the early stage of his out-of-body life, and he was not a little stronger than Ling Fan, and if he made a move against him, he would have no chance to resist at all.
Thinking of this, although Ling Fan still did not show the slightest worry on his face, and even showed even more disdain, his heart had already hanged, and his right hand was subconsciously inserted into his arms, until he held a stone slab tightly, and then he felt a little more steady.
This slate is the fate card that claims to be able to save Ling Fan's life.
At this time, Ling Fan had already decided that as long as Tang Zhongzhong showed a hint of wanting to make a move, he would immediately crush the fate card.
This fate card can be won to Yang Mo, Yang Mo is a character who can defeat Sun Han softly, since Yang Mo said that the fate card can save his life, although it may not be absolute, but in the face of this person who is only equal to Sun Han's strength, Ling Fan believes that there should be no problem with the fate card to save his life.
In this way, Ling Fan held the fate card and looked at Tang Zhongzhong without giving way, and for a while, the entire inner courtyard of the Tang family was extremely silent.
Ling Fan only had the cultivation of the early stage of Jindan, and such a strength could not be concealed in the Tang family at all, and it was soon seen by people with intentions.
But it was precisely because Ling Fan's cultivation was recognized by most people that these people were even more surprised by Ling Fan's courage.
With the strength of the Jindan period, he actually dared to contradict the person who came out of the body period, such a person was not without before, but such a person was either a fool or relied on.
At a young age, if you cultivate to the Jindan stage, how can you be a stupid person?
In this way, the people present believed Ling Fan's previous words even more.
The huge inner courtyard of the Tang family was supposed to be a cheerful feast, but at this time, it was extremely quiet and indescribably weird.
The strange atmosphere lasted for a quarter of an hour before it was interrupted by a soft sigh.
"Well, listen to me. ”
The person who spoke had a cold face, it was Tang Yiyao's father, Tang Zhongliang.
Although Tang Zhongliang is not respected by everyone in the Tang family because of his low cultivation, after all, he is Tang Zhongzhong's elder brother, and when he speaks in public, even if he is Tang Zhongzhong, who is the patriarch, must be given due respect.
Without the name of the elder, even the patriarch can't afford it.
"Tang Yiyao is my daughter after all, and I should have the right to speak about her marriage. ”
Seeing that Tang Zhongzhong nodded, Tang Zhongliang continued: "Let Yiyao marry the son of the Gu family, for the sake of the family, although it is not impossible, but Yiyao has just come back after all, and I also feel a little inappropriate to marry her now." ”
Tang Zhongliang's words, although tactful, were a rejection of Tang Zhongzhong's decision after all, which made Tang Zhongzhong's eyes immediately flash with resentment.
However, for this gaze, Tang Zhongliang didn't seem to see it, he just turned his head in the direction of Ling Fan, and continued: "And you, if you want to marry my daughter, it is not so easy, after all, Yiyao is the young lady of our Tang family, if you want to marry her, you must also have the strength to satisfy our Tang family!"
As soon as Tang Zhongliang opened his mouth, he rejected all the people on both sides.
This made everyone look at him suspiciously, wondering what he was planning.
After half a ring, seeing that Tang Zhongzhong and Ling Fan both looked at him in disbelief, Tang Zhongliang said slowly: "In my opinion, it is better to choose a compromise method, and choose a son-in-law for my Tang family in the way of recruiting relatives through martial arts competitions, and the date of this martial arts recruitment can be set in three years, so that not only can I make up for my debt to Yiyao, but also choose a strong son-in-law for the Tang family!"
