"Father, ever since I was young, I always felt that you were the wisest. You told me in the past that when I marry someone, I don't care about his family background. I only care about his character. As long as he's a good person, you will agree. You also said that you won't force your children to marry like other parents.
"However, I learned today that I'm the same as other parents. Father, I learned that I'm the same as other parents. That is, 'Marriage is decided by parents.'
"You said that Anran is a good person. However, there are thousands of people in the Gui Yuan Sect who know Anran. How many of them say that he's a bad person? Could it be that the thousands of people in the Gui Yuan Sect are wrong? I've known him for almost a year. How could I be wrong? Father, you only spent half a day with him and decided that he's not suitable for you?
"I understand."
"Father, you must be right. You know that Anran was a mounted bandit. You must be the daughter of the founder of the Xing Yi Sect and the founder of the Internal Martial Art. How could you marry the son of a mounted bandit? Is this a disgrace to you? Am I right? Father, don't deny it. I know it too. The more powerful a person is, the more he values his reputation. I can understand. "
"Maybe my happiness is not as important as my reputation."
"Back then, for happiness, I didn't regret crossing the sea with you."
"Now, for happiness, I'm willing to marry the son of a mounted bandit."
"A message from your daughter, Honglin!"
The words in the letter were filled with resentment and injustice. Obviously, Teng Qingshan forced her to cut off contact with Fan Anran. This made Honglin feel pain, anger, and unwillingness. A woman immersed in love was indeed irrational. She even thought that Teng Qingshan did this because of his reputation.
Teng Qingshan felt sad. He didn't expect that his obedient daughter, whom he had doted on since she was young, would think of him like this.
"Little Jun, you see? Linlin is learning from you. She said that when you crossed the sea to pursue happiness, she also wants to pursue her happiness. "Teng Qingshan looked at his wife.
"This child has lost her mind."
Li Jun shook her head. "Qingshan, don't take Linlin's words to heart."
How could he not take it to heart?
Ever since she was young, she was afraid that it would melt in her mouth, and if she touched her hand, she was afraid that it would fall. Teng Qingshan had spoiled Honglin a lot when she was young. He had always believed that daughters should be spoiled and sons should be stricter. Teng Qingshan really didn't have any other thoughts for his daughter, but who would have thought that … She ran away with a man and abandoned her father.
"There's no way to persuade Linlin right now," Teng Qingshan said, shaking his head despite his heartache, "We can only let her try her luck … Only then will she see the truth. I am eighty percent sure that this Fan Anran is faking it. It's just that his disguise is very clever. "
What did Teng Qingshan do in his previous life?
To be a killer.
He was proficient in disguise. This Fan Anran was still lacking compared to Teng Qingshan. However, there was no knowing what was in a man's heart. Teng Qingshan could only say that he was 80% sure.
"Fortunately, I asked Little Blue to follow him." Teng Qingshan felt slightly relieved.
"However, Qingshan, wasn't what you said to Little Blue a little too ruthless?" Li Jun frowned.
"Ruthless? Anyone who dares to threaten my daughter deserves to die. "In Teng Qingshan's heart, he absolutely wouldn't allow anyone to hurt his family.
Li Jun smiled. "However, Qingshan, if you made a mistake this time …"
"I made a mistake?" Teng Qingshan laughed self-mockingly. "If that's the case, it'll be great. I'll be satisfied if I can make my daughter happy after being mocked by her. What I'm afraid of is that I didn't make a mistake … "

"Jia!" "Jia!"
Two Azure Mane Treading in Snow Horses galloped on the official road. Fan Anran and Honglin were riding on these two horses. Actually, over these years, the Undying Phoenix, Little Blue, had several bird-type demonic beast tribes under her command. Therefore, there were over ten bird-type demonic beasts in the Great Yan Mountain. Although these bird-type demonic beasts weren't strong, they were extremely fast.
Usually, Honglin and Hongwu would ride birds to travel between the Great Yan Mountain and Yong 'an County.
It was fast and safe.
However, this time, Honglin was acting out of spite. She rode her horse out.
"Linlin, slow down. Slow down." Fan Anran chased after her.
However, Honglin spurred her horse and galloped at full speed in front of them. Ever since they left the Great Yan Mountain, Honglin's heart was in great pain. At first, she was filled with anger. The glorious image of Teng Qingshan in her heart had collapsed. It turned out that her father was like other parents who tyrannically interfered with his daughter's marriage.
"Father, you're really disappointing," Honglin shouted in her heart.
The speed of the horse finally slowed down.
"Linlin, Linlin." Fan Anran finally caught up.
"What are you doing?" Honglin glanced at him.
Fan Anran revealed a smile. "Linlin, I know that your father doesn't like me. However, you still came with me. Thank you!"
Honglin's tears turned into laughter. She glared at him and then revealed a smile. "You have a conscience!"
"Alas, I originally thought that your father would like me. I don't know how he became like this. "Fan Anran seemed somewhat distressed.
"Forget it. How can you guess my father's thoughts?" Honglin shook her head and said, "However, Anran, don't let me down." Honglin stared at him.
"I won't." Fan Anran laughed softly.
"Hmph, if you let me down, I'll kill you." Honglin snorted deliberately. "You're not my match."
"Okay, okay, okay. Heroine, I'm afraid." Fan Anran deliberately begged for mercy.
Honglin couldn't help but let out a clear and melodious laugh.
Her laughter reverberated on both sides of the official road. The two horses advanced southwest at an astonishing speed. About two to three thousand Zhang above the two horses, a blurry mass of cloud about five to six Zhang in length was also moving slowly. Inside this cloud was the fiery-red Undying Phoenix, Little Blue. Little Blue could easily see through the cloud and see the two horses below.
It could even see the little white bird on Honglin's horse.
…
Ever since Honglin and Fan Anran returned to the Gui Yuan Sect in Yong 'an County, Teng Qingshan received information about them almost every day. Teng Qingshan paid attention to his daughter all the time.
However, everything was peaceful.
In the blink of an eye, it was already March.
In the County City of Yong 'an County, Fan Anran's home was in a very ordinary courtyard.
"Uncle Fan." Honglin smiled as she carried a basket of fruits.
"Little girl, you're here. You even bought fruits? If you have some money, why don't you buy some good wine? Your uncle likes to drink wine. " A messy old man who reeked of alcohol opened his bloodshot eyes and muttered. He struggled to stand up.
"Father, why did you drink wine again? You drank so much," Fan Anran said discontentedly.
"Hehe."
The messy old man shook his head and said, "Nothing. I just thought of your mother. Anran, in half a month, it will be your mother's death anniversary. Get ready and follow me out of the city to pay our respects to your mother. "
"Okay." Fan Anran nodded.
The messy old man walked into his house.
"Anran, are you going to pay your respects to your mother? When are you leaving? "Honglin asked.
"I will leave in seven or eight days." Fan Anran sighed and said, "My mother's grave is actually a cenotaph. The place where the grave is located is close to the den of mounted bandits where I lived when I was young. It is within the borders of Yanzhou. Yong 'an County is the county closest to Yanzhou in Yangzhou. However, it will take four or five days to get there. It's better to leave earlier. "At this moment, Fan Anran seemed a little sad.
"Okay." Honglin nodded.
"Linlin."
Fan Anran's eyes suddenly brightened. "Why don't you come with me to pay our respects to my mother? My mother, if she can see you, we can go and pay our respects together. She will definitely be very happy in the underworld when she sees my daughter-in-law. "
"Daughter-in-law?" Honglin glared at him.
Fan Anran smiled shamelessly and said, "When the time comes, we will go to pay our respects to my mother, okay?"
"Me?" Honglin was startled. She was a little tempted, but she shook her head and said, "No, my father doesn't allow me to run around."
"Going to pay respects to my mother with me is also running around?" Fan Anran was a little angry. Then, he shook his head and said, "Alright, forget it. If you don't want to go, then don't go. "
"Anran, it's not like that …"
Honglin struggled for a while and then made a decision. She nodded and smiled. "Alright. Anran, I will go with you. I also want to pay my respects to your mother. "
"Really?" Fan Anran was a little surprised.
"Of course. Why? Why are you so surprised? "Honglin smiled proudly.
"Thank you," Fan Anran grabbed Honglin's hand and said gratefully.
Honglin blushed slightly. She didn't struggle and let Fan Anran hold her hand.
At this moment …
In a mansion in the Gui Yuan Sect, the Undying Phoenix was lying there, using its domain to sense Honglin's location.
*****
On the 28th of March.
Honglin, Fan Anran, and Fan Anran's father, Fan Wutong, left Yong 'an County in the morning.
In the evening …
In an ordinary mansion in Xin 'an City, a small city in Nanxing County in Yangzhou, a silver-haired old man was running toward the depths of the mansion. He ran along the corridor and the gate of the courtyard for a while. Then, he arrived at a quiet courtyard. The silver-haired old man couldn't help but hold his breath when he arrived at the entrance of the courtyard.
After thinking for a while, he said respectfully, "Sir, a secret letter from Yong 'an County."
"Come in." A deep voice sounded.
The silver-haired old man pushed the door open carefully and saw a tall man standing in the courtyard.
He was barefooted and wore a sackcloth robe. His long hair hung loosely over his shoulders, and he had a strange charm. Most importantly, he wore a golden mask on his face.
"Alright, you may leave." The mysterious man with the golden mask took the secret letter and waved his hand.
"Yes."
After the silver-haired old man left respectfully, the mysterious man with the golden mask opened the secret letter and read it carefully. Under the cover of the golden mask, his expression couldn't be seen clearly. However, as he read, he suddenly let out a strange laugh. "Once, twice. Teng Qingshan, let's see how you can avoid the third time!"
