If that really was the case, then it would be somewhat easier for him to bear. After all, having the reputation as someone whose wife was stolen by another man would become a lifelong stain.
"If there is any deceit, you may deal with it as you see fit," Lin Yifan answered seriously.
Giving Zhao Yi an answer was also like giving Zhou Jiajia and the others an answer.
With Lin Yifan's response, Zhou Jiajia felt even more relieved; Lin Yifan surely wouldn't be so scared as to deceive Zhao Yi, so these words must be true.
Seeing his eldest son calm down, Zhao Tianba breathed a sigh of relief, believing his son must have seen reason; the less trouble now, the better.
Afterward, he went straight to the side of the injured Elder, squatted down, and wanted to start persuading him.
However, the injured Elder raised his hand, stopping him: "Family Head, no need to say more, I will kneel!"
It was indeed his rashness earlier, and if his actions were to cause the death of his entire family, he would feel guilty to death.
With the help of his family, he went straight to Lin Yifan, knelt on the ground, and apologized to Lin Yifan: "Mr. Lin, I was wrong earlier, please forgive my offense!"
This scene, a lifetime of disgrace for the Zhao Family, was one that everyone found hard to forget.
"Elder! We will certainly avenge this humiliation for you, definitely!" The younger generation of the Zhao Family all secretly vowed to consider Lin Yifan a lifelong enemy.
On the other side, Lin Yifan's face was expressionless; there was neither joy nor sorrow. Everything was within his control, and he knew they would act this way.
"Will you dare to be so disrespectful to me in the future?"
"I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't dare!" the Elder answered in haste, his courage already shattered.
It wasn't death he feared, but the possibility of implicating his entire clan.
"Then stand up!" Lin Yifan didn't want to punish too severely, after all, this was the Zhao Family's Earth Dish, and it was wise to be forgiving when one could.
With Lin Yifan's consent, the injured Elder immediately stood up and then left the hall looking disheartened, accompanied by his family.
With the apology done, it was time to move on to the second matter.
After consulting Zhao Yi and obtaining his agreement, Zhao Tianba relayed the message to Lin Yifan: "My son Zhao Yi and Miss Tang Jing's marriage agreement is formally canceled as of today; moreover, the 2 billion lent to Miss Tang Jing will not be pursued by the Zhao Family."
Lin Yifan recorded the entire process on his phone, believing that Tang Jing would be very pleased to see it.
"The second matter is also resolved. Now only the last one remains. When will the two hundred billion be transferred?" Lin Yifan asked.
"It will be transferred in a moment!" Zhao Tianba replied.
"Good! Then I will wait for your good news." Having said that, Lin Yifan took Zhou Jiajia's hand and turned to leave the place.
At this moment, Zhao Tianba called out, reminding him, "Ah! Mr. Lin, WeChat, WeChat! Tell your Elder Sister not to go to Medicinal Saint Valley."
Lin Yifan almost forgot about that matter; he immediately took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Fangfang: "Fangfang! No need to go! The Zhao Family has apologized!"
On the other side, Fangfang, who was catching a ride to the outskirts, immediately instructed Su Qingqing to stop the car upon receiving the WeChat message; she then asked Su Qingqing to drive back to the villa.
"Sister Fangfang, what happened? Why are we going back?" Su Qingqing asked curiously.
Just now she was focused on driving as if she had been doing it for thirty years, oblivious to events outside the window, and had not heard Lin Yifan's words.
"Yifan said he's alright," Fangfang replied.
"Are you certain it was his voice?" Su Qingqing asked.
"Certain!" Fangfang assured.
Still, to be on the safe side, she called Lin Yifan's phone to verify it was his voice; all for the sake of safety.
Lin Yifan, who had just walked a few steps away, immediately received the call from Fangfang.
He guessed why Fangfang was calling, so he immediately swiped to answer, "Hello, Fangfang, it's Yifan! I'm safe now; you guys can come back!"
"Are you really okay?" From the other end of the phone, Fangfang asked curiously.
"Really! If you don't believe me, you can ask your sister Jiajia." Lin Yifan handed the phone to Zhou Jiajia beside him, so she could assure Fangfang they were safe.
"Hello! Sister Jiajia! Are you really all okay?"
"We're really fine, don't worry. Come back quickly!" Zhou Jiajia answered.
"Okay!"
Hearing Zhou Jiajia's voice, Fangfang and the others finally relaxed.
If they were facing danger, Zhou Jiajia would definitely not answer their questions so calmly; moreover, Lin Yifan and Zhou Jiajia would surely advise them to leave, not to come back.
So, they immediately turned around and returned to the villa.
After listening to this conversation, Zhao Tianba finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He hadn't expected Lin Yifan's senior sister to have really left the villa, heading towards Medicinal Saint Valley; fortunately, he had humbled himself in time, lowering his stance to negotiate, otherwise his Zhao Family might have faced a disaster.
The thought of the most powerful sects of the Cultivation World coming to attack made him shiver; the scene was too terrifying to even imagine.
"It's best to avoid provoking him in the future!"
After saying this, he returned to the main hall to deal with the third matter.
After Lin Yifan left, an elder of the Qingcheng Sect who had been stationed there suddenly appeared in the main hall.
He had witnessed the whole process from the shadows, and truly, he was shocked by Lin Yifan's status.
Seeing the Qingcheng Sect's stationed elder appear there, Zhao Tianba immediately went up to ask, "Elder! Is the token that kid had real?"
"It's real!" the stationed elder of the Qingcheng Sect answered directly, without any attempt to hide it.
With this answer, Zhao Tianba would never dare to touch Lin Yifan again.
"Ah! It was really terrifying; we almost caused a huge disaster."
Recalling the recent conflict, he still felt frightened. If anything had happened to Lin Yifan in their Zhao Family residence, they wouldn't be able to clear themselves even if they jumped into the Yellow River.
"Who else could we offend but a disciple of Medicinal Saint Valley? Whose fault is that?" the Qingcheng Sect's stationed elder criticized with a feeling of hating iron for not becoming steel.
This matter, he really couldn't help with.
He had a rough understanding of Bright True Master's temper; on the surface the man appeared compassionate, but in reality, he was not someone to be trifled with. Therefore, it was better to keep a distance.
Even the stationed elder who was their backing blamed them, so it seemed their Zhao Family's hope for revenge was gone.
As the person involved, Zhao Yi, although extremely reluctant, slowly came to accept this outcome.
Unless he wanted to die along with Lin Yifan, this vendetta, he truly couldn't avenge.
On the other hand, after leaving the Zhao Family, Zhou Jiajia finally took a deep breath of relief; and so did Lin Yifan.
This visit to the Zhao Family had taught him a massive lesson: even a cornered dog will leap over a wall, so don't push people too far.
"Thank goodness for this Death Exemption Token, otherwise today could have really been dangerous."
Caressing the token in his hand, Lin Yifan was lost in thought for a moment.
Strength is what matters most, with strength, everything can be resolved.
