Lin Shiheng nodded and logged into The Immortal Path' game from his computer.
[Public World Chat (Ten Thousand Demons Guild Leader) Hengxing: At least I used my own money. I didnt go around acting like a good person with other people s money like you.]
Huo Jingzhou choked, and his expression immediately turned colourful.
How could this happen? According to Lin Shihengs character, he wouldnt respond.
However, Lin Shiheng not only responded, but he also accepted his invitation.
[Public World Chat (Ten Thousand Demons Guild Leader) Hengxing: Today at 8 pm. Come to the desert, Ivl.]
Huo Jingzhou, who was still secretly gnashing his teeth, saw this message before he recovered.
Lin Shiheng had only really started learning the skills for how long? He was conficlent. It was definitely possible.
And...
Huo Jingzhou exited the game pod and looked at this hastily rented rental apartment; his expression was dark and shady.
Zhen Zhen once told him that Lin Shiheng was a man with a strong desire to win, not to mention that he still liked Zhen Zhen. As men, what they couldnt accept the most was being cuckolded. Lin Shiheng had been ill for a long time. and his psychology might have been distorted.
Then, Lin Shiheng would do whatever it took to win.
In this battle, if he won, everyone would be happy if he lost...
Huo Jingzhou slightly narrowed his eyes and thought that it was a good opportunity.
It was absolutely impossible for Lin Shiheng to beat him. After all, even if they were at the same level, he had been playing this game since his freshman year, and he was familiar with the skills. On the other hand, he didnt even know if Lin Shiheng had logged in 48 hours since his contact with the game skills.
Huo Jingzhou even suspected that the news about the four-layer stacked spells Hengxing used, circulating in the forum, was simply another substitute Lin Shiheng had found.
As long as he himself lost, it would raise questions. If Jingzhou bought a water army and took that opportunity to tarnish The Immortal Paths reputation, it was an opportunity for him to launch his own game.
Huo Jingzhou thought very well, and for a moment, he couldnt decide whether he wished to win or lose the fight.
In his expectant mood, 8 P.M. finally arrived.
Around the desert, there were a lot of players coming in one after another. After all, this was a fight between the once number one throughout the server against the current number one throughout the server. They certainly wanted to spectate the whole thing.
With the intention of being resurrected even if they were unfortunately draggecl into it and get killed. more and more players teleported to the desert to watch.
In reality, Huo Jingzhou laid down in the game pod and teleported to the desert.
A moment after he came online, Lin Shiheng watched the live broadcast in the forum, chucklecl, and turned on his computer instead of entering the game pod.
In the desert, many players formed a circle and looked inside. Some rich people with flying spirit beasts flew in the air to watch, while other business-minded players took the opportunity to push their carts and started selling things.
The game pod players could taste things, so the sales of snacks in the game were also very good. After all, weight loss prevented these people from eating high-calorie things; they didnt have to force themselves in the game.
Under the attention of the group of people , Huo Jingzhou, carrying his long sword, remained motionless in a heroic posture. If people only looked at his appearance, they wouldnt think that he was the kind of person to occupy people s things and stab people in the back.
500 meters away, in the public area chat, players who knew each other, or didnt know each other, came together and started an enthusiastic discussion.
[Why isnt Hengxing here yet? Didnt he say 8 oclock?]
[Silly, its only 7:50 now. I dont know whats wrong with Jingzhou; he came 20 minutes early. Hes been in this position for 10 minutes. Isnt he tired?]
[Who knows? Not just dressed luxuriously, hes also acting as if he were a hero. Who doesnt know that everything he has, is relied on Hengxings money?]
[Yes, but I really have to thank him. If it werent for him, I wouldnt have gotten the opportunity to make a profit.]
The group of players were bored, so they simply gossiped. Just as they were waiting impatiently, a pretty girl in a goose yellow dress suddenly teleported to the desert through the portal.
"Jingzhou!
Huo Jingzhou, who was still posing, froze and looked at the girl squeezing through the crowd, Zhen Zhen?
Where have you been for so long? I couldnt find you anywhere.
He spoke with a bit of guilt. When Ai Zhizhen said that she was going to see Lin Shiheng and disappeared that day, he only made a few phone calls and intended to find her later. After that, he was angry at the group of guys at the school, who looked down on him, was busy thinking about the countermeasures, and also coaxing the female admirers who questioned him when they heard the news. Under the busy situation, he simply left Ai Zhizhen at the back of his mind.
Ai Zhizhen didnt doubt it. Her eyes were red, and she complained with a sobbing voice, My parents locked me up at home. Jingzhou, please come and save me. They actually said that they were going to marry me off to another man. Hes a divorced 50-year-old man, and he already has children.
I managed to convince the people who are watching me to let me log into the game and ask you for help. Jingzhou, you have to come and save me, or my life will be over!
As she spoke, she remembered the grievances she experienced these clays, and her tears fell.
On that day, she was aggrieved in the Lins residence. Ai Zhizhen went home to cry to her parents, but she didnt expect to be greeted by her fathers slap as soon as he got home.
Because she secretly broke off her engagement and angered the Lins, the Lins withclrew all cooperation with the Ai family. Her family was weakened now, and all the family members were questioning whether Ai Zhizhens father could be the head of the family. It was all Ai Zhizhens fault.
Ai Zhizhen didnt expect this to happen. In her heart, Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin loved her very much. Even if the engagement were broken off, she would still be the niece that Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin loved, and Brother Shiheng liked her so much that he would undoubtedly take care of her as he did before.
But she didnt expect that they would be so heartless. She just wanted to break off the engagement, but the Lin family actually turned against her family.
At first, Ai Zhizhen was reluctant when her parents forced her to apologise to Lin Shiheng, but after her face was swollen from being struck by her father, who had always pampered her, she could only follow him to the Lin family with tears in her eyes.
No matter when Ai Zhizhen appeared in front of the Lins residence in the past, the security guard would open the door for her with a smile, but this time, the Lins door was closed, and the security guard who always smiled kindly spoke with a cold expression, "Sorry Miss Ai, our family head has instructed that no one from the Ai family is allowed to enter the Lin residence.
Ai Zhizhen, who was already aggrieved, cried again.
In the past, when she cried, there was always a group of people who cuddled her lovingly. This time, when she cried, no one paid any attention to her, and even her father, who had always spoken kindly to her, had a stern expression on his face and looked at her with eyes that frightened her.
Ai Zhizhen always knew that her father didnt like the other sisters in the family very much, but because she was favourecl, she didnt think much of it until now. Being looked at with such eyes, a chill emerged on her back.
Her father was no longer as inf initely tolerant of her as he once was.
By the time she got home, she, who had been naive and didnt like to inquire about company affairs, did so for the first time.
She then learned that although the Lin family didnt retaliate, they withdrew all the privileges previously given to her family. Now, the whole circle knew that the Lin family broke off relations with the Ai family because Ai Zhizhen withdrew from the engagement.
Before, some people who hacl animosities towards the Ai family were afraid to attack because the Ai family had the protection of the Lin family. Now that the Lin family had withdrawn its protection, those people naturally hacl no more scruples.
The Ai family was like a big piece of meat, being bitten by a group of people . Everyone took turns biting off a piece. In a short periocl of time, they were full of holes, all over the place.
Ai Zhizhen didnt feel anything at first. Although there was a decline at home now, her life was still the same as before. Although she couldnt touch electronic devices at home, she could watch TV, make flower arrangements, and occasionally paint, in addition to sometimes missing Jingzhou.
Until she learned of her fathers decision to send her somewhere to curry favour with a powerful figure in the business world.
Although she wasnt old enough, and so it was just a temporary engagement, Ai Zhizhen saw the persons profile.
He was a bald, greasy philanderer. How could she be willing to marry?
How could her father marry off his beautiful daughter to such a person for the sake of the family?
Ai Zhizhens father didnt force her to marry like in TV plots. He just calmly said, if you dont marry according to the familys arrangement, then dont enjoy the familys resources in the future.
Ai Zhizhen had always been using her fathers secondary card, something that the other cousins in the family didnt have, so she was always envied.
But now, her father actually said that he would stop the secondary card.
Ai Zhizhen simply thought it was a nightmare. With tears streaming down her face, she questioned, Just because I broke off my engagement with the Lin family? Dad, do you love me just because Im the future daughter-in-law of the Lin family? Am I not your daughter?!
Her father, who once doted on her immensely, coldly scowled, Thats right, I love you because youre the future daughter-in-law of the Lin family."
Ai Zhizhen, youre an adult. I have no obligation to support you anymore, no matter from a legal or reasonable point of view. Before, you got everything you wanted, based on the fact that the Second Young Master of the Lin family liked you. And now, you turned our Ai family into this! The fact that I didnt send you packing to someones bed is already good enough!
As he spoke, his face also showecl anger, Do you really think that everyone pampers you and favours you? Its only because youre Lin Shihengs fiancee. They want to please the Lin family by pleasing you!
If I had known that you were such a useless person for this family, I should have let your cousin do it! Are you satisfied that the Lin family wants to out off all relations from our family now? If you werent my own daughter, I would have beaten you to death!"
Ai Zhizhen covered her mouth and wept bitterly, Dad, I know you love me. I dont want to marry. that man is so much older than me. I have someone I like. His name is Huo Jingzhou. Hes very good. If you give him a chance, he will soon be able to ...
Tsk!"
Father Ai directly pushed away his daughter, who wanted to embrace his arm, Do you think I didnt check the information? How dare you want a man like Huo Jingzhou, who has countless lovers before he even succeeds? Not to mention the fact that he has now offended the Lin family, who are protective of their family and are absolutely unlikely to let him have the opportunity to rise up.
You can marry if you dont want to: I wont force you. As long as you tell me that you dont want to make up for the mistake, you made right now. Leave immediately and dont come back to the Ai family in the future. The Ai family raised you for so many years and spoiled you with all the glory. It wasnt so that you could become a white-eyed wolf, gnawing on its feet!
Ai Zhizhen almost fainted from crying, but she didnt dare to say that sentence until she fainted.
Even if she grew up spoiled, she knew exactly what kind of life she would live if she really lost her familys support.
Desperate, she thought of Huo Jingzhou.
Huo Jingzhou was so powerful; he would definitely be able to save her.
