Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique-Chapter 1381 - 17: Nan Man’er’s Rejection

Nan Zaitian naturally had reasons for wanting to marry his daughter to Lin Feng.

Because Nan Zaitian had only two daughters and no son to inherit the family business, he needed to recruit a son-in-law to join the family.

But recruiting a son-in-law also had its considerations.

If he arranged a marriage with someone from a family of equal status, then the other family would not allow their son to join another family as an in-law.

Moreover, Nan Zaitian was worried that after he passed away, the large family business would be taken away.

Instead, finding someone without much background as the son-in-law was the best choice.

Lin Feng, young and a Martial Arts Grandmaster, assured that the future son-in-law of the Nan family had enough strength to protect the Nan family.

And Lin Feng was alone, drifting from place to place.

The life of wandering outside must have been extremely difficult.

If Lin Feng agreed, the Nan family would become his home, allowing him to settle down, and Nan Zaitian wouldn’t worry about the family business being taken over and merged into the son-in-law’s family after he passed away.

Of course, there was another point, Lin Feng was indeed handsome, and when standing with his daughter, it was evident they were a match made in heaven.

Nan Zaitian had also interacted with many family sons.

Those so-called family sons, regardless of their temperament, speech, and manner, were vastly different from Lin Feng, which was why Nan Zaitian ultimately targeted Lin Feng.

"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about?" At this moment, Nan Man’er ran out angrily from the back hall.

Immediately after, Nan Qingqing also followed.

Nan Qingqing was more sensible and slightly bowed to her father and Lin Feng.

However, Nan Man’er’s face was extremely ugly; clearly, the matter of Nan Zaitian wanting to marry her to Lin Feng had infuriated her.

"Man’er! You are also not young anymore, it’s time to settle on a marriage," Nan Zaitian’s face darkened as he spoke.

Nan Man’er said, "I don’t agree. Even if I marry, I, Nan Man’er, will marry a sect genius."

Nan Man’er was proud, and her standards had always been high.

So she found it hard to accept marrying someone "ordinary" like Lin Feng.

"Marriage is a major event, decided by parents and matchmakers. How can you mess around here?" Nan Zaitian slammed the table and said sternly.

Nan Man’er looked at Lin Feng angrily and said, "I ask you, are you qualified to marry me?"

"Sister... words can hurt!" Nan Qingqing tugged at Nan Man’er.

Lin Feng raised his eyelids but didn’t look at the proud Miss Nan Man’er; instead, he looked at Nan Zaitian and said, "Thank you, Lord Nan, for your kindness. However, I have always liked to wander, not preferring to stay in one place for too long. So, I am destined to disappoint you. Today, Lord Nan helped me out, and also bought my four pieces of Fierce Beast skin at a high price, and I will remember this in my heart. I shall repay it in the future. I have some matters to attend to, so I must take my leave."

"Young man, wait before you leave. This girl is immature, we can discuss this further," Nan Zaitian said, trying to keep Lin Feng.

It seemed Nan Zaitian really wanted to recruit Lin Feng as his son-in-law.

Lin Feng was determined to leave. He cupped his hands, turned, and walked out.

Only then did Nan Man’er snort, "At least that person has some self-awareness, no need for me to personally drive him away."

Nan Qingqing sighed, "Sister, words can wound for six months, even if you want to refuse, you can choose a more tactful method. There’s no need to confront him directly, leaving no room for maneuver."

Nan Man’er said indifferently, "If I don’t do it this way, how can I make this person retreat knowing the difficulties?"

"Shut up!" Nan Zaitian shouted angrily.

Nan Man’er snorted, "Why should I shut up? I have the right to choose my marriage, and father insists on marrying me to a useless person. I just don’t agree."

Nan Zaitian said angrily, "Would father harm you? All these years, what kind of person has father not seen? That young man, whether in looks, character, or speech, is excellent. If you marry him, you are sure to have a happy life, yet you drove him away with ridicule and sarcasm. Wanting to find such a remarkable person again in the future will be as hard as climbing to heaven."

"Hmph, remarkable? Someone like him?" Nan Man’er pouted and then turned to run out.

"Unfilial daughter!" Nan Zaitian slammed the table in anger.

"Father, sister is still young. Please don’t get angry because of this; it’s not good to harm your health," Nan Qingqing persuaded.

Nan Zaitian sighed, "Qingqing, quickly chase after him and bid farewell to that young friend for me."

"Okay!" Nan Qingqing nodded.

...

With a servant leading the way, Lin Feng headed towards the outside of the Nan family. Soon after, Nan Qingqing caught up with Lin Feng.

"Young Master, please wait." Nan Qingqing called.

Lin Feng stopped, turned, and saw Nan Qingqing. He cupped his hands and said, "May I ask what the Miss of the Nan family wants to say?"

Nan Qingqing looked at Lin Feng with full of apology and said, "Young Master, Man’er is still young. If there were any offensive words, please forgive her."

Lin Feng was slightly surprised, not expecting Nan Qingqing to come and apologize for her sister. In fact, he hadn’t been angered by Nan Man’er’s words. It was like a beggar calling a billionaire a pauper; how could the billionaire argue with the beggar? That would be losing face; the billionaire would only find the beggar amusing.

Just as Lin Feng found the proud Nan Man’er somewhat amusing.

Lin Feng said, "Miss Nan, rest assured, I won’t take it to heart."

Nan Qingqing smiled and said, "Father didn’t come to see you off personally, so he asked me to see you off. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can always come to our Nan family."

"Thank you..." Lin Feng cupped his hands.

Then he bid farewell to Nan Qingqing and left.

In Lin Feng’s eyes, the Nan family’s affairs were just a small episode; he didn’t take it to heart.

Lin Feng arrived at the town and wandered around the market, visiting many shops and street stalls in search of Array Formation Materials.

This was, after all, a small place. Even if there were Array Formation Materials, many people wouldn’t know and would sell them as ordinary items. Lin Feng’s luck was quite good; he spent more than two hours collecting over thirty types of Array Formation Materials, though they were mostly low-level ones; they were very useful to Lin Feng.

When passing by a small stall, Lin Feng’s gaze was attracted by an item placed on the stall. It was a dark red stone about the size of a palm, but Lin Feng felt that this dark red stone was not simple at all.
