Wang Wen looked at his brother incredulously for a moment before he quietly said, "I'll go with you."

Wang Wu heavily patted Wang Wen's shoulder twice, "That's my brother! When it matters, no one else will do. It's only your own blood brother you can count on!"

Wang Wen smiled bitterly in his heart but said nothing. He thought to himself that after everything was over, he'd find a chance to have his brother apologize to Brother Du. But... it would probably be a bit hard. Unless... his brother really did marry Fang Lan. But deep down, Wang Wen had a foreboding feeling: Could his brother really end up marrying Fang Lan?

Wang Wen couldn't forget the heartbreaking sight of Fang Lan weeping. Even though he had never been in love, he wasn't an idiot and could sense Fang Lan's heartbreak, as though she had lost all hope.

However, Wang Wen didn't know how to tell his brother about this. His brother had just finally calmed down; if Wang Wen mentioned it, he might go mad instantly, right?

So all Wang Wen could do was, step by step, accompany his brother on their journey towards Jinxiu Village, the place they had dreamt of entering since they were children.

......

Xiangfu Inn.

Chu Mo opened the door, somewhat surprised to see the unexpected guest in front of him. He couldn't quite believe that this man was actually the Family Head Jin of the prominent Jin family in Jinxiu City.

He subtly used the Sky Mirror to take a glance at the man.

He's in the Golden Core stage!

In the Spirit Realm, he's definitely considered a great cultivator!

This influential figure actually came to see him bright and early, with generous gifts?

What's going on?

"Young Master Chu, I have come uninvited and disturbed your rest. Please accept my apologies," said Jin Dongnan, with a beaming smile and a very sincere fist and palm salute towards Chu Mo.

Chu Mo was slightly startled, then quickly reciprocated the salute, "Head of the Jin family, you're too polite! Please, come in!"

......

Outside the finest guest room of the Jin family.

Jin Ming, bare-chested, bearing several cane marks on his back, stood rigidly at the room door.

Inside the room, Fang Lu said quietly to her sister Fang Lan, "Sis, that guy is Jin Ming, right? He's pretty good-looking. What's he doing? Is he apologizing? Hehe, he's quite sincere – he's been standing out there for hours. I see dew on his hair. He must have been standing there since early morning. He startled me when I opened the door just now."

Fang Lan shot a glare at her sister, "What does it matter if he's good-looking or not? He's just putting on a show!"

"Sis... just putting on a show is already quite good, isn't it? He's the legitimate son of the Jin family! For someone of his status to be doing this much... It shows that... he truly loves you," Fang Lu said seriously.

"You...have you been blinded and beguiled by the extravagance of the Jin family, Lu? In just one night, have you forgotten who we are? Have you forgotten your Brother Wu?" Fang Lan coldly looked at Fang Lu.

"Sis, please don't be upset," Fang Lu seeing her sister's face changing, immediately came over to cajole her, shaking her arm, "Of course, I haven't forgotten our situation. The Jin family's not as luxurious as I thought. Although this room is nice, it's actually not as resplendent as I imagined."

"What do you know?" Fang Lan gave her sister a sideways glance.

Seeing her sister's expression improving slightly, Fang Lu whispered: "Sis, the Jin family has done a lot. No, they've done very well, way beyond our expectations, right? Not only did the family head personally apologize to you, but he also compensated with the materials for Foundation Establishment... It's invaluable! They even promised that they would not force you into anything. Now, the young master of the Jin family is at your door, punishing himself to apologize... Sis, I think, whatever resentment you had, it should be gone, right?"

Fang Lu wasn't an overly materialistic girl. Although she was somewhat rash and spirited, at her core, she was a sentimental person. This outcome was something she could not even dream of or dare to hope for.

She did not expect it to become reality!

So, in Fang Lu's eyes, although the Jin family wielded great power and was amongst the top in Jinxiu City, they were reasonable and methodical in their dealings.

Although Jin Ming was hateful for previously pressuring her sister, in the end, her sister didn't suffer any losses and even gained the materials for Foundation Establishment she had always dreamt of. So, what could she be dissatisfied with?

Looking at her own sister, Fang Lan couldn't help but sigh. She was indeed very clever, pure at heart. Last night, she was completely overwhelmed by Jin Dongnan's domineering presence, so much so that she almost lost her ability to think. However, when she calmed down after returning to the room, she managed to figure out Jin Dongnan's intentions to a large extent.

They still wanted to keep her to marry his son, Jin Ming!

But at this point, Fang Lan, she couldn't be angry anymore. Because they made their intentions clear with sincerity... Honestly, it was quite substantial!

She might be beautiful and intelligent, but the Spirit Realm was full of such girls. She wouldn't underestimate herself, but she also didn't think she was outstanding enough to be given such importance by the head of a powerful family.

In the end, they were just worried about his own son!

A parent's love knows no bounds, indeed!

So, in reality, Fang Lan wasn't angry anymore. She couldn't be.

They did their part and more. Furthermore, the decision was in her hands. After her encounter with Jin Dongnan last night, Fang Lan believed that he was a man of his word. Since he said he would not give her a hard time, he truly wouldn't.

Therefore, even if she chose to leave, the most they would feel is regret, but they wouldn't hassle her or give her any trouble.

In fact, having the Jin family's implicit backing in future could make her life better!

Although this thought might seem somewhat selfish, it was a common sentiment. Who wouldn't want their lives to be better? Who wouldn't want to have a strong backing and background?

The crux of the matter was the attitude of that person!

Yes, that person was Wang Wu!

Fang Lan knew Wang Wu better than Du Fei. She knew it in her heart that if she walked out of the Jin family unscathed this time and returned to Fang Clan Town, Wang Wu would definitely suspect her.

He would definitely question what she had to give up to not only leave the Jin family safely but also acquire the materials for Foundation Establishment!

This was what Fang Lan was most helpless and worried about. She even feared thinking about the scene when she met Wang Wu again.

Fang Lu naturally wouldn't understand these things, but she did.

So, she was the one who was distressed!

Her childhood sweetheart... why... couldn't he just trust her once? Did she have to give herself to him before they were married to prove her innocence?

If that was the case... why should she marry him anyway? Would she really be happy after marrying him?

Fang Lan was incredibly conflicted.

Glancing out the window at the handsome man standing with canes tied to his back, she felt even more conflicted.
