After hearing what Shan Yufei said, the patriarch of the Lin family was shocked. Then, he gave Lin Shishi a big slap and shouted in shock and anger, “Bitch, you betrayed me!”

Then, the old man of the Lin Family remembered something and immediately grabbed Lin Shishi’s neck. He was a little afraid but pretended to be calm and said sternly, “Shan Yufei, I have your wife. Hurry up and commit suicide. Then, I’ll let your wife go!”

Shan Yufei sneered. “Old man, are you dreaming? Do you think I’d die for a single woman? Haha. How ridiculous!”

The Lin family’s patriarch was startled. He looked at Lin Shishi and said mockingly, “Didn’t you say that he loves you deeply? Why doesn’t he care about your life now? Look at what kind of heartless man you’ve married.”

Shan Yufei sneered, “Isn’t it your plan so that she’d marry a heartless man like me?”

The Lin family’s patriarch’s pupils constricted as he asked with a trembling voice, “You… How did you know?”

“Old man, you people really went through a lot of trouble to kill me. You even deliberately ruined a woman’s life. You destroyed her spiritual root and ruined her appearance. All that just to replicate the things that had happened to me?” At this point, Shan Yufei curled his lips and asked curiously, “But I’m curious. How could you be sure that I’d save her?”

As he said this, Shan Yufei took a few steps forward, scaring the Lin family’s patriarch to take a few steps back while holding Lin Shishi hostage.

“Stop… Stop right there!” The Lin family’s patriarch shouted sternly.

“Then, answer me!” Shan Yufei shouted.

“We… we don’t know either. We… were just taking a gamble.” They were both in the nascent soul stage, but when the Lin Family patriarch was in Shan Yufei’s presence, he felt fearful and uneasy. Perhaps it was because Shan Yufei had left a deeply terrifying impression on Jiang Hu.

When Chanyu Feizhi heard this, he immediately became furious and said, “You people ruined a girl’s life for a gamble?”

The Lin Family patriarch said without much confidence, “But Lin Shishi volunteered to do this. She was willing to sacrifice for the Lin Family’s great cause!”

When Shan Yufei heard this, he suddenly let out a cold laugh, “Are you sure you didn’t threaten her mother and younger brother? Didn’t you come up with this sinister scheme after witnessing her peerless beauty and astonishing talent?” Shan Yufei snorted, “I really look down on you. A few nascent soul stage patriarchs used a little girl in order to deal with one man. You people are shameless! If this gets out, how will you face the Jiang Hu?”

The Lin family patriarch’s face was red and white. His expression was both embarrassed and angry as he shouted, “Shut up! So what if we have used some tricks to deal with the Great Demon King? As long as we manage to kill you, the whole Jiang Hu will clap for us, and they will not mind the details at all.” At this point, the Lin family’s patriarch sneered and asked, “Shan Yufei, when you found out the person sleeping next to you only approached you for a mission, how did you feel?”

“How do you know that I have betrayed Yufei?” At this moment, a woman’s voice sounded. She landed beside Shan Yufei.

When the Lin family’s patriarch saw the woman who looked exactly like Lin Shishi, his pupils shook. Then, he quickly pushed the woman he strangled to the ground.

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

The woman in his hand quickly turned into a wisp of black gas and assaulted the old man.

The Lin family’s patriarch shouted in fear and unease, “What… What is this thing?”

Shan Yufei said with a cold smile. “That is the spiritual blockage poison that you asked Shishi to feed me. I’m just returning it to you!”

“How dare you?” Hearing this, the Lin family’s patriarch immediately widened his eyes and cursed in shock and anger, “Lin Shishi, you bitch, you have betrayed us. I will kill your mother and brother. I’ll make sure they have a shameful death.”

Unexpectedly, Lin Shishi’s attitude was unusually cold. Her expression was calm as she said indifferently, “Do whatever you want with them!”

She had completely given up on them!

Back then, the reason why she was willing to go along with this trap was not only because she truly adored Shan Yufei but also because her mother and her ten-year-old brother were threatened by the family.

If she did not agree, they would divorce her mother and chase out her younger brother. She loved her mother and brother, so how could she sacrifice them?

So, she agreed.

However, what happened next was disheartening.

When her family destroyed her spiritual root and her appearance, neither her mother nor her beloved brother cared about her. Not even a hint of pity could be seen in their eyes.

When she was bullied by her family, as long as her younger brother, who was the son of the first wife, said a word, those people would not dare to attack her openly. She would not have suffered so much.

As for her mother, she had been raised to the position of the first wife due to her daughter’s sacrifice. She was too busy showing off to the other concubines to care about her daughter.

Lin Shishi sacrificed everything for them, but they didn’t care about her at all.

When no one was around, Lin Shishi questioned them, “Mother, brother, I was willing to be a pawn for you. But as my dearest family, why did you do this to me?”

At first, they argued that they had to put on a show so that Shan Yufei would fall for it. But eventually, the mother told the truth.

The mother said sarcastically, “You said it yourself. You were willing. You can’t blame us. Also, now that you’re a cripple, don’t admit that you’re my daughter. It’s so shameful.”

Brother Lin said disdainfully, “I’m the legitimate son of the Lin family, but my sister used to get all the attention. So this is perfect. I don’t want to see you again. Get lost!”

Lin Shishi saw the truth then. She had given up on her family.

After meeting Shan Yufei, she was willing to play her role. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have married Shan Yufei. However, since she had given up on her family, why would she follow their plan?

Moreover, she had always admired and loved Shan Yufei. She would never hurt him.

Therefore, when Shan Yufei really came to save her, she made up her mind to tell him the truth.

After Shan Yufei found out, he simply said, “Play along!”

In the past 30 years, the couple had lived very peacefully.

However, from time to time, people would come looking for Lin Shishi, and Lin Shishi would follow their orders.

However, those people probably did not know that Shan Yufei was following behind them. As long as they were unfavorable to Lin Shishi and wanted to hurt her, their lives would be gone in an instant.

About 10 years ago, they arranged for Lin Shishi to poison Shan Yufei. However, after waiting for ten years, the poison still hadn’t taken effect. They got tired of waiting. They decided to use a trick to lure Shan Yufei away and then came to find Lin Shishi directly.

However, the Lin family patriarch didn’t expect this to be a trick by Shan Yufei.

When the Lin family’s patriarch heard the reason why Lin Shishi betrayed them, he vomited blood.

He cursed loudly, “Those bastards!” He was talking about Lin Shishi’s mother and younger brother. If those two had continued to fool Lin Shishi, Lin Shishi would have followed the plan. Lin Shishi sacrificed herself because of them. The two had to go and destroy the plan.

The Lin family patriarch was poisoned. He couldn’t fight Shan Yufei and his wife. He could only flee back to the Lin family.

The first thing he did when he fled back to the Lin family was to directly cripple Lin Shishi’s mother and brother.

“Bastards, it’s all your fault!”

It didn’t take long for news to spread that the Lin family patriarch’s cultivation level had dropped from the nascent soul stage to the great circle, but it seemed to be still dropping.

Not only the Lin family patriarch, but the cultivation levels of the other nascent soul stage patriarchs were also dropping.

In an instant, there was only one nascent soul stage cultivator in the entire nine heavens continent, Shan Yufei.

Shan Yufei’s Shan family instantly became the largest family clan on the entire continent.

Three hundred years later, Shan Yufei and his wife ascended and became a legend.

The Shan family was also honored for hundreds and thousands of years.
