Lin Fei, who was originally walking forward, stopped abruptly like a car applying emergency brakes, almost colliding with his second brother. Fortunately, he stopped in time.

"Are you kidding me? When did I have a fiancée?"

Lin Fei's face was one of shock and disbelief. Out of nowhere, he had a fiancée, which was too hard to believe.

If these words had come from anyone else, Lin Fei would never have believed them. But since they came from his second brother, Lin Feng, he had to believe it. His second brother wouldn't lie to him.

In his memory, the three of them, being blood brothers, had never been in constant conflict as the outside world claimed. On the contrary, they were very united.

This was the reason why Lin Fei had taken action and offered help.

……

Before Lin Feng could speak, the little girl Lin Yan Yan, who was in his arms, giggled, "Big brother, that sister is like a fairy, very, very beautiful! Yan Yan really, really likes her!"

Lin Fei's forehead was instantly covered with black lines.

When did the little girl become so "mature"...

Lin Feng could feel a heavy "killing intent" fall upon him, regretting having mentioned this matter. This was intentionally making himself uncomfortable. Now that the words were out, there was no way to change them, especially with the killing intent gaze making him feel uneasy all over.

"Third brother, don't be angry," Lin Feng hurriedly said, "listen to me, I'll explain it to you."

On the street, Lin Feng noticed that his third brother had changed. A martial artist's keen perception could faintly sense that his third brother was no longer ordinary.

Zhang Wan Song, a martial artist at the Seventh Level of Martial Dao, was defeated so easily, even though he practiced a Yellow Rank mystic technique. Lin Feng wasn't sure he could do the same, but on Lin Fei, it was like picking up a snail with two fingers, almost certain. He no longer dared to look at his third brother with the same old eyes.

……

It was better not to hear it. When Lin Feng heard what his second brother said, he almost jumped up.

Unbelievable, unbelievable!

What kind of cliché plot was this? Lin Fei couldn't have said it before, but after hearing his second brother's words, he finally understood what a real cliché was. He doubted anyone would believe it if he told them.

"Are you kidding me?"

Lin Fei was full of doubts, his gaze looking at his second brother as if he were a strange person.

Lin Feng felt uneasy under his gaze, "Our Lin family is at least the first family in Guiyuan City. Even the City Lord would give us some face. Do you think our Lin family could fall so quickly in just five years?"

These words carried a hint of blame and anger, directed at Lin Fei.

Previously, Lin Fei had always been puzzled about how the Lin family could fall so quickly. The title of the first family wasn't just a name; it was earned through real strength.

Now, recalling those words, Lin Fei had to believe that his predecessor "Lin Fei" was no good, causing such a big trouble for him.

……

Who was the fiancée?

No one could have guessed it was the City Lord's daughter, Su Shuiyan.

As for why she became his fiancée, it was simple: Su Shuiyan said it herself.

What a City Lord's daughter said carried significant weight, a matter worth pondering. Why it happened, no one knew.

What everyone knew was that the City Lord was furious afterward.

Everyone expected a storm, but to everyone's shock, the City Lord did not take action against the Lin family, as if nothing had happened.

Thus, the title of fiancée remained on the City Lord's daughter, even to this day.

The reason for the Lin family's decline was that various forces secretly targeted them, and the City Lord turned a blind eye, revealing the underlying reasons.

One could say that the title of fiancée on Su Shuiyan's head played a significant role.

In five years, the Lin family suffered a great blow, and the matter with Lin Fei and Su Shuiyan became the biggest trigger.

……

If he had heard about a fiancée before, Lin Fei might have been very happy and excited.

Unfortunately, at this moment, Lin Fei couldn't be happy. On the surface, Guiyuan City seemed calm, but anyone with keen eyes could see that a storm was quietly brewing, ready to fall at any moment.

The center of the storm was the Lin family.

"So, my return this time is not well-timed, right?"

Lin Fei said with a self-deprecating smile, flashes of memories crossing his mind.

Lin Feng didn't know how to answer this question, patting Lin Fei on the shoulder, "Five years ago, you were indeed wrong. No one can help you with this; now you have to rely on yourself. My advice is simple: it would be best if you could charm Miss Su. That would be the best outcome."

Lin Fei had hoped his second brother would come up with a good plan, but this cliché plan made him roll his eyes, "You go, I'll cheer for you!"

To be honest, it was strange that Lin Fei wasn't surprised to suddenly have a fiancée.

Killing, Lin Fei could do without a second thought.

But dealing with a fiancée, even if not a real one, was different. For five years, Su Shuiyan had been claiming this title, and now she was meeting his mother in the hall.

This was unimaginable...

If people didn't know the truth, they might think Lin Fei was ungrateful and would tarnish his reputation.

Only Lin Fei himself felt a deep sense of injustice, as this imposter had to deal with all these cliché situations.

Unfortunately, Lin Fei couldn't say any of this.

……

In the end, Lin Fei was dragged away by Lin Feng.

According to Lin Feng, if this conflict could be resolved, the Lin family might have a chance to turn things around.

Guiyuan City belonged to the Shanhe Prefecture, and the City Lord had the greatest power.

If the City Lord spoke, no one would dare to act. As long as the Lin family had time to rest and recover, their strength would be restored in a few years.

But now, with the City Lord silent, those people were eager to bring down the Lin family. If the City Lord was happy, there might be many benefits.

As they walked, Lin Fei's brows were furrowed.

For some reason, when he heard the word "fiancée," Lin Fei immediately thought of a woman in white, a woman named Qing'er.

"Could it be that I like that violent beauty?"

Lin Fei said to himself for no reason.

Unconsciously, they arrived at the Lin family hall.

The guards outside, seeing Lin Fei in his black robe, couldn't help but show a look of surprise, followed by a hint of disdain, completely disregarding Lin Fei, the third young master.

Just as Lin Fei came to his senses, two figures, one in red and one in purple, appeared at the top of the steps. A red figure rushed toward him like the wind.

"My child, you're finally back, I've missed you so much."
