Extraordinary Medical Saint in the City-Chapter 1212 - 1210: Unwilling to Become My Fifth Sword Emperor’s Son-in-Law?
The Fifth Sword Emperor coldly watched Lin Fan who had fallen to the ground, showing no intention of helping him up.
He wasn't being heartless, deliberately embarrassing Lin Fan.
Nor was he being indifferent, ignoring the situation.
The Fifth Sword Emperor wanted Lin Fan to understand that, given his current physical condition, it was impossible for him to confront Ling Wudeng, or even Dongmen Buju.
Such a situation would only lead to his death.
Therefore.
He stood coldly aside, although his heart felt rather uncomfortable.
"Hoo—"
"Hoo—"
"Hoo—"
Lin Fan lay on the ground, breathing heavily, feeling completely drained, as though all energy had been withdrawn.
All his limbs were uncontrollable, his mind was filled with thoughts of rescuing Mo Ningxiang, but his body couldn't act on them, causing him great distress.
He tried his utmost to use his arms to lift his body.
But.
His whole body was trembling.
Violently trembling!
Every cell rejected his actions and requests.
He tried several times, without success.
Not only was he unsuccessful, but each attempt ended with him heavily hitting the ground, bruised and battered.
For Lin Fan at this moment, physical pain was trivial compared to the helplessness and blow he felt within.
Mo Ningxiang was still under the control of Dongmen Buju and Ling Wudeng.
Yet he lay here like a dead dog, unable to move even a step.
His eyes turned blood-red, as though they might burst, his face flushed with a terrifying intensity.
Why?
Why!
Suddenly.
Lin Fan began pounding the ground, shouting his anguish and desperation.
The Fifth Sword Emperor watched, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
But he had to be heartless.
Otherwise, Lin Fan wouldn't settle down.
Right now, what Lin Fan needed most was rest, not rage.
Raging here was useless.
"Young Master Lin, in your current state, you can't go to Changliu Mountain."
The Fifth Sword Emperor spoke gently.
Lin Fan suddenly turned his head, glaring viciously at him, but said nothing.
"You not only can't reach Changliu Mountain, but you can't even make it through this door. All you can do now is get proper rest; if you recover quickly, you might go earlier. Otherwise, it's entirely impossible."
The Fifth Sword Emperor was blunt.
He was not afraid of Lin Fan falling into despair and helplessness, because he knew Lin Fan was not that kind of person.
If Lin Fan could be defeated so easily, then he wouldn't be Lin Fan.
Someone who could shake the entire Sumeru Continent single-handedly would not give up so quickly. The Fifth Sword Emperor thought silently.
Lin Fan still said nothing, but the savage and frenetic look in his eyes gradually faded, though anger and urgency remained.
"You currently have no energy or Spiritual Power in your body, you can't even stand up, how will you save Ningxiang. You wouldn't be able to deal with Ling Wudeng, and encountering Dongmen Buju would only be a pointless death."
The Fifth Sword Emperor spoke sincerely.
"If you were to die, how could I explain this to Yun'er? If she wakes up and asks where you've gone, how should I answer? I wouldn't bear to see my daughter's heart break, and I certainly wouldn't let you, my son-in-law, die in vain."
Lin Fan was stunned, confusion and misunderstanding filled his eyes.
Son-in-law?!
When did he become the Fifth Sword Emperor's son-in-law?!
Could it be...he wants to marry Diwu Yun'er to him?!
Damn!
Lin Fan thought he misheard, eyes wide to the point they almost fell from their sockets, his jaw dropped heavily to the ground, unable to close for a long time.
The Fifth Sword Emperor's expression was surprisingly calm, as if nothing had happened.
In truth.
In his heart, he had long considered Lin Fan his son-in-law.
Since the moment Diwu Yun'er blocked a sword for Lin Fan, he knew this boy was someone Yun'er would risk everything to save.
At that moment, he understood Lin Fan's place in Diwu Yun'er's heart.
Moreover.
After subsequent interactions, he found Lin Fan indeed to be a monstrous genius with remarkable talent.
Righteous and capable, with formidable skills.
At such a young age, he had already achieved so much, given time, he would surely achieve greatness.
Therefore.
Gradually in his heart, he accepted the idea of Lin Fan becoming his son-in-law, even becoming very satisfied, with a protective mentality.
But seeing Lin Fan risking everything for Mo Ningxiang.
He was truly worried.
Firstly, he feared Lin Fan might transfer his affections, forgetting about Diwu Yun'er's existence. After all, Yun'er might not wake up for some time.
Secondly, he feared Lin Fan might lose his life before Yun'er woke up, leaving him unable to explain.
And if Yun'er woke to find out Lin Fan had died, she would surely be heartbroken.
There was no choice.
For Lin Fan and for Yun'er, the Fifth Sword Emperor had to intervene.
"Why such a look, unwilling?"
"Uh..." Lin Fan didn't know what to say for a moment, stunned speechless.
"I know, this isn't the time to say such things. But your reckless attitude worries me that Yun'er would be heartbroken later, so I'm reminding you. No matter what, you're my son-in-law, bullying you is akin to bullying me."
"Um...uh...thank you for your kindness, Sword Emperor..." Lin Fan was extremely helpless, at such a perilous time, suddenly having an additional father-in-law.
He wasn't unwilling, it's just that in his mind the Fifth Sword Emperor had always been an exalted figure, now suddenly discussing this felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"So, do you understand why I saved you, and why I won't let you leave?"
Lin Fan nodded, his gaze deepened, his expression grew solemn and severe.
Sure enough.
He raised his head, defying the Fifth Sword Emperor's wishes.
"Though I'm grateful for your kindness, Sword Emperor, I must go out this door today! Mo Ningxiang is also my woman, I must rescue her, not letting her suffer the slightest harm."
Unexpected yet reasonable.
The Fifth Sword Emperor paused, then helplessly shook his head.
"No wonder Yun'er likes you, once you decide something, you'll see it through, not even ten oxen could pull you back."
"Sword Emperor, I'm resolved, you cannot stop me."
Lin Fan spoke, his eyes slightly closing, then suddenly snapping open.
A fierce aura instantly erupted, like aftershocks of an explosion, shaking even the Fifth Sword Emperor slightly.
What?!
The Fifth Sword Emperor couldn't believe his eyes.
As he saw.
A gravely injured, powerless Lin Fan, actually using his arms to support his body, forcing himself to stand up, his eyes filled with chill determination.
Lin Fan's face was flushed, breathing heavily, his gaze firmly fixed on the direction of the door.
He was adjusting his breathing rhythm, preparing to head towards the door.
At all costs!
No matter what happens, no matter his physical condition, he must save his woman!
One step!
Two steps!
Three steps!
...
Lin Fan actually started walking, though his body wobbled, he indeed began to walk!
If it were anyone else, such injuries would likely keep them bedridden for a year.
Yet within less than a quarter of an hour, Lin Fan was walking!
What kind of monster is this!
The Fifth Sword Emperor watched in awe, marveling at Lin Fan's actions, genuinely admiring him.
