Inoue You fell silent, then said after a moment, "I need to think about this first, Mr. Kurofuji, I won't see you out!"

Kurofujidera gave a slight smile, "I hope Mr. Inoue can see the big picture. Personally, I would still like to collaborate with you, you were a pleasure to work with because you're a smart man."

Kurofujidera left, and Inoue You spent a long time alone in the study. Eventually, he came out with a resolute look on his face.

"What? Marry Kurofuji Youshun? I don't want to marry someone like him!" When Inoue Sakura heard this from Ling Feng, she was completely upset.

"Brother Lin, you must be lying, right?" Inoue Sakura looked at Ling Feng pitifully, "Aren't you supposed to help me take over as the head of the family? I…"

Ling Feng waved his hand and said, "Don't panic. I have my own thoughts on this matter, and I haven't agreed to Inoue You's proposal either."

Upon hearing this, Inoue Sakura's face lit up with a happy smile. As long as she didn't have to marry Kurofuji Youshun.

However, Ling Feng frowned and said, "Although I didn't agree on the spot, the Inoue Family has severely weakened. If you marry into the Kuroteng Family, it would ease the tension with the Kuroteng Family on one hand, and on the other hand, you could no longer pose a threat to Inoue You and Inoue Ki in the competition for the clan leader, so they would definitely strongly support this arrangement!"

Inoue Sakura became anxious again, "What should I do?"

In the Inoue Family, Inoue Sakura was like a little lamb among wolves, with no power to rely on except for Ling Feng.

Ling Feng closed his eyes and pondered the whole matter, while Inoue Sakura bit her lip and moved behind him to give Ling Feng a massage.

Ling Feng's body stiffened at first, then relaxed.

About Inoue You's proposal for Inoue Sakura to marry into the Kuroteng Family, Ling Feng deep down wasn't opposed to it. He keenly sensed that this might be the best opportunity to establish a connection with the Kuroteng Family!

But how to leverage this situation was what Ling Feng urgently needed to think about now.

After a long time, Inoue Sakura's hands were getting sore; suddenly, Ling Feng opened his eyes and said, "Ying, I've thought about it, there's no reason for me to refuse Inoue You's proposal!"

"What!" A flash of disbelief crossed Inoue Sakura's eyes, "Brother Lin, aren't you supposed to help me win the position of family head? Are you going to give up on me too?"

Ling Feng shook his head and said, "Of course I remember, but I am not your personal bodyguard right now, my current role is as the Great Elder, so I must handle this matter from the Great Elder's perspective because only in this way can I deceive everyone and implement our plan."

If the real Great Elder were here, the first thing he would consider would definitely be the overall benefits of the Inoue Family. As for Inoue Sakura, she would merely be a pawn under the Great Elder, so why would he care about her wishes?

Realizing this, Ling Feng decided to go with the flow and agree to this arrangement. By doing so, it would appear reasonable and also enable contact with the Kuroteng Family.

"Chen Ying, if you trust me, then follow my arrangements!" Ling Feng said seriously, "Whatever decision I make, you must follow it, okay?"

Inoue Sakura looked at Ling Feng with a complex expression. After a moment of contemplation, she nodded heavily; she had no other path but to follow Ling Feng's arrangements!

Seeing the look of utter despair on Inoue Sakura's face, a tinge of pity arose in Ling Feng's heart. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Don't worry, I won't let you marry Kurofuji Youshun. My promise to them was only a temporary measure!"

"Really?" A gleam of light flashed in Inoue Sakura's eyes: "Brother Lin, I believe in you!"

Ling Feng inwardly grimaced; in fact, from beginning to end, he had been using Inoue Sakura's identity to achieve his own goals. Thinking of this poor girl, a tinge of pity still arose in his heart, so he hesitated for a moment but still gave her a promise.

Ling Feng sighed inwardly. Had it been a year ago, he would never have been so merciful. But since meeting Liu Tingyu and those other girls who truly loved him, Ling Feng did not want to darken his heart anymore because, in that case, he felt he did not deserve to be with them!

"You go and rest first!" Ling Feng said, "I still need to think carefully about how to deal with Inoue You and the Kuroteng Family!"

Inoue Sakura suddenly bent down, her tender red lips pressing against Ling Feng's face. Blushing, she said, "Brother Lin, thank you... this is my first kiss!"

Seemingly impulsively, Inoue Sakura added that last sentence, then turned and left with a blush on her face.

Ling Feng was stunned. He touched the moisture on his face and shook his head with a wry smile: "It seems that girl misunderstood something! Ah, it's hard being too charming!"

After being self-admiring for a short while, Ling Feng's expression regained its composure, and he kept tapping on the table. Fortunately, through the Soul Capture of the Great Elder, he knew that the Kuroteng Family had made thorough preparations.

With forces like the Sakura Group, the Matsushita Family, the Yamaguchi Group, and the Alliance of Gods, if Ling Feng plunged in without any knowledge, he would surely be devoured completely by these people!

Not to mention others, just the Clan Leader of the Kuroteng Family and the Divine Ninja of the Sakura Group were formidable adversaries!

"You want to marry Inoue Sakura?" Ling Feng's lips curled into a slight smile, "Then I'll simply make it happen for you! I hope you don't get too pleased!"

Two days later, Inoue You finally got the consent of the Great Elder, but the Great Elder only agreed to let Inoue Sakura marry Kuroto Youichi, not Kurofuji Youshun!

"Why!" Inoue You was somewhat baffled, thinking that it did not matter who she married within the Kuroteng Family. To him, even if Inoue Sakura were to marry a dog from the Kuroteng Family, it would make no difference to him.

The Great Elder explained calmly, "Why? Don't you know that within the Kuroteng Family, Kurofuji Youshun is merely a son of a maid? Although he is also a son of the Clan Leader of the Kuroteng Family, he is just a peripheral figure within the family. How could Inoue Sakura, a legitimate daughter of our Inoue Family, possibly marry a marginal figure of the Kuroteng Family? That would be a disgrace to our Inoue Family!"

"Therefore, Inoue Sakura can only marry Kuroto Youichi. A Kurofuji Youshun is simply not worthy of our Inoue Family's treasured daughter!" the Great Elder stated unequivocally.
