At that moment, Chen Anlin couldn't help but smile upon discovering the Child of Destiny, Tang Huohuo, and his fortune level.
He noted that the ability detection had successfully identified the presence of an ancient spirit named Elder Fu within the pendant. This spirit was a master of talisman crafting.
No wonder Tang Huohuo had been so formidable; when he couldn't defeat Chen Anlin, he had immediately used a talisman to escape. Without that talisman, Tang Huohuo would have undoubtedly met his end.
Chen Anlin observed that when Tang Zhan invited Li Xizhi and others to take their seats, he didn't even glance in Chen Anlin's direction, seemingly intent on ignoring him. Fortunately, Li Xizhi noticed this and coldly remarked, "Master Tang, this is Chen Anlin, a trusted confidant of His Majesty!"
"Oh, it's you, Chen! I thought you were just a follower. My apologies; it's my mistake. Someone, please bring a seat for Chen!" Tang Zhan said with a forced smile.
"No need; I can stand," Chen Anlin replied dismissively with a wave of his hand and a cold snort.
Seeing this, Li Xizhi flicked his sleeves and said indifferently, "Master Tang, since you do not respect Chen Anlin, it shows a lack of respect for us as well. We have no need to sit here."
"Exactly," came the agreement from others.
They felt there was no need to accept such an insult. The members of Wan Jian Mountain Villa scoffed lightly, their expressions filled with disdain. They were seasoned veterans and could easily see that Tang Zhan was deliberately making things difficult for Chen Anlin.
Such behavior was beneath them, and they had no intention of giving Tang Zhan any face. This left Tang Zhan in an awkward position; he hadn't expected Chen Anlin to be held in such high regard by the people from Wan Jian Mountain Villa.
What was the basis for this? He recalled that during his previous visits to Wan Jian Mountain Villa years ago, he had never received such treatment.
Li Xizhi wasted no time and directly stated the purpose of their visit.
"Master Tang, we have come to discuss the annulment of the engagement between my daughter Li Xuexin and your son Tang Huohuo. This engagement was hastily arranged years ago, and it seems disrespectful to the parties involved. My daughter is extremely unwilling, so I hope you can understand and agree to this!"
"Of course, our Wan Jian Mountain Villa is reasonable and willing to offer some compensation. I hope you will consider it."
"Absolutely not!" Suddenly, Tang Huohuo shouted.
Li Xizhi's expression turned cold. The adults hadn't even spoken yet; who was this kid to interrupt?
"Who are you?" Li Xizhi asked.
He had never met Tang Huohuo and didn't know who he was.
Tang Huohuo snorted coldly, "I am Tang Huohuo."
"So you are Tang Huohuo."
"I don't believe that Li Xuexin is doing this willingly. It must be you who are trying to force her!" Tang Huohuo declared with righteous indignation.
Li Xizhi's face darkened. "Who told you that?"
"It's simple. If Li Xuexin is willing, then where is she? Where is she? If you have the ability, confront me directly!" Tang Huohuo retorted with a sneer.
Beside him, Ma Sanjian nodded in satisfaction.
"Indeed, as expected of a young man valued by me, Ma Sanjian. He loves fiercely and hates fiercely; truly impressive."
"Did you hear that? You Wan Jian Mountain Villa should not bully us too much; otherwise, I, Ma Sanjian, will be the first to object."
Tang Huohuo smirked. With Ma Sanjian's support this time, let’s see how they would respond.
Chen Anlin looked at Ma Sanjian with a furrowed brow.
This person...
He had seen him in novels before; Ma Sanjian had followed Xiao Chen during his rebellion!
On the surface, this man appeared carefree and solitary.
But in reality, Ma Sanjian had a family.
In a small town, the daughter, Marili, had once shared a flirtatious relationship with Xiao Chen. However, with so many girls around Xiao Chen, it wasn't long before Marili mysteriously disappeared.
Chen Anlin chuckled, "Ma Sanjian, huh?"
"Junior, do you think my name is something you can just throw around?" Ma Sanjian sneered.
Others feared the court because their entire families were at risk of retaliation. But he was not afraid. Everyone outside knew that Ma Sanjian was a lone wolf. He had always been cautious in his dealings, never revealing anything about his family, striving to protect them at all costs.
As a solitary figure, he had developed a fearless personality over time. His motto was simple: I walk alone; if you can't find me, you can't threaten me.
Chen Anlin stared at him and scoffed, "I know a Marili who looks just like you."
Ma Sanjian's eyes widened in shock as he stared at Chen Anlin, as if he had seen a ghost. He couldn't believe that Chen Anlin knew his daughter's name. Did he also know where she was?
Suddenly, a wave of fear surged within Ma Sanjian. If Chen Anlin truly knew her whereabouts, would the court pose a threat to her?
"Ma Sanjian, are you sure you want to get involved in this matter?" Chen Anlin asked with a smile that held no warmth.
In truth, if Ma Sanjian insisted on getting involved, Chen Anlin wouldn't be afraid; it would just be troublesome. His words were meant to hint that Ma Sanjian should recognize the danger and back off. Of course, if he didn't take the hint, then he would be dealt with accordingly.
At that moment, Ma Sanjian hesitated. While he was not afraid of these people, he genuinely feared for his daughter's safety.
