Lin Xiangdie's house wasn't too good. It only had three thatched cottages, and the walls were made of straw and yellow mud.

The old wooden door was open, and a sturdy middle-aged man was using a fishing line to catch the net. When he heard the commotion, he looked up and casually said, "Dia'Er is back."

"Father, Father." Lin Xiangdie let go of Mu Xiaoling and ran over to hold the man's arm. "Elder sister Mu is homeless. I'll let her stay here temporarily, okay?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he looked at his daughter in astonishment before shifting his gaze to Mu Xiaoling.

Mu Xiaoling was also afraid of being too eye-catching. She was only wearing an ordinary cotton skirt. Her exposed face and hands were slightly scratched. Her face was also very pale. After all, she had been floating in the water for two days and two nights.

Lin Xiangdie's father, Lin Ze, sized up Mu Xiaoling. When he saw that she was only a thirteen-fourteen year old girl, he retracted his gaze and asked, "What's going on?"

Lin Xiangdie recounted her encounter with Mu Xiaoling, and Mu Xiaoling recounted her story.

Lin Ze was just an ordinary fisherman. He had been to Qingyu Town, the farthest place in his life. Upon hearing these words, he felt sympathy for Mu Xiaoling. He looked at Lin Xiangdie's pleading face and was unable to say a word to reject her.

His wife had died long ago, and he was the one who had raised Die'er. Die'er had grown up being sensible and had never asked for anything. Now, she only had one request …

'Forget it. The little girl on my left and right can't possibly hurt them. It's just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks. I still have an empty room at home. Lady Mu, please stay here. '

"Thank you very much." Mu Xiaoling thanked him.

"That's great. Come with me. Let's clean the room." Lin Xiangdie pulled Mu Xiaoling's hand and they entered a room on the right.

The thatched cottage looked old and worn out, but it was still okay inside. There was a kang in the corner and a cabinet in it. It was just that no one had seen any dust for a long time.

Lin Xiangdie pushed open the window and took a breath of fresh air. She then took out a cloth and a bucket of water. The two of them busied themselves, cleaning up the room in less than two hours.

Just as the two of them were resting, they heard a huge knock on the door, followed by a sharp shout from the woman, "Lin Ze, you bastard, come out. Let me tell you, your daughter has to marry, even if she doesn't marry, she has to!"

Hearing this voice, fear appeared in Lin Xiangdie's eyes, and she stumbled forward, her arms wrapped around her shoulders.

Mu Xiaoling hastily supported her.

This time, Lin Ze spoke as well, but his voice was filled with rage and grievance, and he was helpless. "Mom, I only have a daughter like Dia'Er, can't you let her go for a yard!"

It took me so much effort to find such a good marriage for Lin Xiangdie, and I've already received ten silver taels for the naturalization betrothal gift. If you don't want our dowry, then what are you not satisfied with, that's the Wang family in the town, and there's no one else with more money than them in the area of ten miles. Besides, Die'er is marrying the eldest son of the Wang family, who will inherit the Wang family in the future.

"Mother!" Lin Ze's face was filled with misery. "But his Wang Clan's Young Master is a fool!"

"So what if you're an idiot? Isn't it your daughter's decision to coax you? At that time, wouldn't you be able to get as much money as you want? Coincidentally, your third brother is also going to take the martial arts exam and needs money."

Mother, do you think that I don't know? That young master of the Wang family is not only a fool, but he also killed many maids.

"Pei, what nonsense are you spouting, in any case I'll tell you Lin Ze, today's bridal sedan was already brought over and left outside. The Wang Family sent martial artists over, and today you have to marry, whether you marry or not, you have to marry. If you still don't let her Lin Xiangdie out, then we'll go in and snatch her away."

"Mother!"

"Push him away, go in and take him away!"

Lin Xiangdie's tears flowed down as she watched Lin Ze being pushed to the ground. She immediately pushed open the door and ran out, "Don't hurt my dad, I'll go with you guys."

"No, Die!" Lin Ze crawled up from the ground, crying as he pulled Lin Xiangdie behind him.

Mu Xiaoling followed him out the door and immediately saw the woman's appearance.

He saw that the other party was actually wearing a beautiful brocade skirt with a golden hairpin stuck in her hair. Since the Lin Clan was in dire straits, it was clear that Lin Ze's mother's dress was not lacking in wealth.

Lin Ze shouted, "Even if I, Lin Ze, were to die, I won't let you take Die away!"

Mother Lin winked at the people behind her, "Seize him."

There were a total of four people behind Mother Lin. All of them were level two Martial Disciples. Each of them had a sturdy body and were young and powerful.

These four were the Wang family's guards, and they were brought here by Mother Lin to steal the bride.

The four of them approached Lin Ze step by step. However, Lin Ze was just an ordinary person who had never cultivated before. He shouted out explosively as he smashed his fist towards Lin Ze, but was easily kicked away by one of the martial artists.

"For a trash like him to be qualified to steal from us, what a joke."

Lin Ze looked at Lin Xiangdie in despair. Perhaps this was the last time they would meet. Damn it, Lin Ze had never done anything evil in his life, so why did he suffer such treatment? Could it be because they were too weak?

"Daddy, Daddy, I'm afraid …" Lin Xiangdie reached out her hand. However, at this time, another Wang Family martial artist reached out his hand and grabbed her arm.

At this moment, a copper coin suddenly flew out and struck the martial artist's elbow. With a crisp sound, the martial artist's arm was broken.

The person covered his arm and continued to howl. However, at this moment, no one paid attention to him. Their gazes were all on the young girl who had shot out the bronze coin.

Mu Xiaoling let out a sigh. She knew that she was being reckless. Although her wounds weren't severe, the cold energy had entered her body. Her internal injuries weren't light. She shouldn't be exposing herself.

Forget it, if she was discovered, she would just run away.

Lin Mu was shocked by Mu Xiaoling's beauty. Although her face was slightly scratched, she couldn't hide her beauty. She couldn't help but ask, "Who are you? Why are you meddling in my Lin Family's business?"

"She's my wife's distant niece." Lin Ze recovered from his shock and knew full well that Mu Xiaoling was the last straw for him and his daughter to save their lives. He immediately thought of an identity.

Lin Ze's wife was found by Lin Ze himself, and Lin Mu wasn't clear on the other party's family background. Coupled with the fact that the person was no longer present, no one knew whether it was true or false.

One of the remaining three warriors stepped forward and sized up Mu Xiaoling with an evil smile on his face. "I can tell that this girl looks pretty good. We should just take her and the Lin Family's daughter with us."

Mu Xiaoling smiled. "Alright then. You can give it a try."
