210: Crying

Li Haotian was currently in his mansion, quietly awaiting the results from the other side. Today they were having hotpot, and everyone sat around the table, continuously swishing ingredients in the pot.

"Slurp, munch, munch... Even if you feed me every day and give me such delicious food, I will absolutely never... munch, munch, munch... forgive you!"

Zhang Linger spoke while eating the hotpot, her cheeks bulging as they were stuffed with food.

"Yes, yes, yes, you are right."

Li Haotian said this while stuffing the remaining beef in his bowl into her mouth, completely silencing her.

Suddenly, Li Haotian paused slightly. An electronic screen appeared before him, and the person displayed on it was none other than Lin Tianxuan.

He had utilized this video call function; as long as one was not in a call with him, the other party could not see the existence of this screen at all.

The table was full of people now, but not a single person could see the image displayed on the screen.

Lin Tianxuan was currently crossing the Void Realm, preparing to return to the location of the Fissure. They had finished handling things on that side, and he was now returning to report; all the evil cultivators had also been pacified.

With extremely ruthless methods and speed, Lin Tianxuan had slaughtered every evil cultivator in the world who had any name or reputation.

Relying on his speed and Cultivation, accomplishing all of this was very easy.

At the very least, for the next period of time, the various evil cultivators would not dare to rear their heads again.

The plans of the various factions were also underway; they were continuously recruiting more Disciples, and sooner or later, they would leave the evil cultivators with no path forward.

As long as this step could be achieved, there would be no more evil cultivators in the world, which would resolve the problem of the rampant evil cultivators.

Li Haotian was quite satisfied with this guy; after staying outside for a period of time, he had arranged everything very properly.

Now that the Fissure side had also been resolved, the evil cultivators should not continue to launch attacks on the city walls within a short period of time.

"The matter over there has been handled, and our plan has succeeded."

Li Haotian looked at Crimson; the latter was stunned for a moment, then immediately revealed a look of joy.

She had previously kept pressing Li Haotian on why he got married, and only desisted after learning the reason was for the peace of the entire Human Race. Now, she was very clear about the Human Race's plan, and since it had succeeded, it would certainly deal a heavy blow to the alien race.

"Come out. Let your granddaughter see you. Now that everything is over, it is time for your reputation to spread across the world again. This time, you are the greatest contributors."

As soon as these words were spoken, a Powerhouse in the shadows slowly revealed their figure. Zhang Lian came to the table and respectfully cupped his hands in a salute toward Li Haotian.

Zhang Linger, whose mouth was stuffed with food, was stunned, an expression of disbelief appearing on her face.

Her grandfather had clearly been killed, and the Sect had even held a funeral for him; she had believed all of this deeply, but now, being suddenly told that her grandfather was fine gave her a feeling of being in a different lifetime.

After some explanation, everyone present showed expressions of surprise.

Many people present were unaware of the situation; for example, Little Fatty Bai and Zhang Hai were completely unaware of the Human Race's plan.

Just a moment ago, they had still held a hostile attitude toward the Emerald Bird Pavilion, but now that they understood everything, they all showed expressions of extreme astonishment.

The Emerald Bird Pavilion's movements were so strange; they had actually colluded with the Human Race to play a counter-espionage strategy, pretending to be spies, and then striking quickly. The alien race must have been completely fooled, and their losses this time would surely be extremely painful.

"So, that means you were actually fine all along, Grandpa, and were just acting with him, right?"

Tears welled up in Zhang Linger's eyes, and then she burst into a deafening wail.

"Alright, alright, don't be too sad. Didn't Grandpa come back?"

Zhang Lian affectionately stroked his granddaughter's head, but the latter immediately broke free, an angry expression appearing on her face.

He had originally thought that his granddaughter was crying out of joy because of his death and subsequent return, but he had not expected that her crying had absolutely nothing to do with that matter.

"You just married me off so rashly? You bastards!"

Zhang Linger cried and cursed, and only at this moment did everyone understand what she was crying about; it turned out she was crying over her innocence.

Even if it was just a charade, and they had only gotten married to deceive the alien race, it was useless to say anything now. Even if the two clarified their relationship, having lived together as a man and woman for so long, anyone would think that they had already done something.

In this era where such concepts were extremely strict, no one would ever want to discuss marriage with Zhang Linger again. Her heart-wrenching wailing just now was because of this.

"This..."

Crimson gently frowned. She naturally knew what this girl was worried about. If the two of them had only married to deceive the alien race, she would indeed be unable to get married; after all, the wedding had been held, and in the eyes of others, something must have happened regardless.

"Stop crying, stop crying. Just find an opportunity to call off the marriage and it will be over. You are still innocent. I didn't touch you; every day I just tied you up and didn't stay here."

Li Haotian heartlessly added a piece of tofu into his mouth, but immediately drew the hostility of all the women present.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Li Haotian felt a little nervous inside. Watching everyone, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his expression looking somewhat awkward.

"You still have the nerve to say that! Hurry up and apologize to the girl; don't drive her away!"

Crimson expressed their thoughts with some dissatisfaction, and only then did Li Haotian realize and scratch his head in embarrassment.

"But before the wedding, the elders of our two Sects had already agreed that this matter would just end like this. If we were to turn the fake play into reality, I'm afraid it wouldn't be..."

Li Haotian still wanted to try to shirk it, but was glared at fiercely by the two of them again.

Crimson lectured for a long time, and Xue You also spoke up to help, while Zhang Lian looked at Li Haotian with a helpless and very pitiful gaze.

As a death servant, he had no way to make any evaluation or judgment on his master's decision and could only obey his master's orders. But he was, after all, a person of flesh and blood; he could not bear to let his granddaughter live her life in a daze like this.

"You are the one being bad by leaving others alone now. The Luck above this girl's head has dissipated completely, leaving it pitch black. If you really don't care, I'm afraid when she goes back, she will probably..."

Xue You's face was pale, and blood flowed from the corners of her mouth. By saying these words, she had already changed Zhang Linger's fate, and she herself naturally had to bear the power of Karma.

After hearing this, Li Haotian fell into deep thought and finally nodded.

"Since fate has arranged it this way, we have no way to refuse. Let nature take its course. If one day you meet someone you truly love and want to leave, just notify me, and I will not stop you."
