Chen Qinglian's thoughts were the same as Wu Tian's.
This was because she did not have a good impression of Yang Zhi. This man had arrived here a month ago and had been harassing her ever since.
Now, at this moment, he suddenly proposed such a condition, and it was voluntary. How could this not be seen as having ill intentions!
So she flatly refused, "Forget it. I can't accept this condition. My family doesn't need his help."
Yang Zhi seemed to have anticipated Chen Qinglian's answer.
He smiled coldly, "Qinglian, I advise you to think clearly. After all, your father has already been arrested."
"No one can help you now except me. If you don't listen to me, and you regret it later, I won't pay attention to you!"
Chen's mother was also momentarily flustered.
She didn't care about anything else and quickly tugged at Chen Qinglian, saying, "Daughter, don't talk nonsense. Let Yang Zhi save him!"
"Yang Zhi is skilled and good-looking. Why can't you agree to him?"
"It's your father who was arrested. Don't you care about your father's life or death?"
Chen Qinglian said, "Mom, don't be so anxious."
"That's a sword sect. Are you still unaware of the power of the Qinglian Swordplay? He's just one person, how can he possibly save Father?"
"If something happens to him, he'll definitely hold us responsible!"
"Your goal is me. Once he latches onto us, even if things don't work out, he'll keep pestering us!"
Hearing this, Yang Zhi was slightly shocked.
He hadn't expected Chen Qinglian to be so meticulous and see through his scheme at once.
What Chen Qinglian said was not wrong. He had no intention of rescuing anyone, let alone being able to do so with his abilities.
His original intention was just to find an excuse to get Chen Qinglian.
But that was what he thought, and of course, he couldn't say it out loud.
He said coldly, "Qinglian, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"I know you have some misunderstandings about me, but aren't these misunderstandings too big?"
"I clearly want to help you, but how can you think of me like this? You're really hurting me!"
Chen Qinglian said with a cold face, "Help me? Do you believe yourself when you say that?"
"I don't need your help. You should leave. I don't want to see you again."
Yang Zhi had been pestering Chen Qinglian for a month without success, so he knew that Chen Qinglian was difficult to deal with.
It was probably impossible to find a breakthrough from Chen Qinglian.
So he immediately turned to Chen's mother and put on an angry look, saying, "Madam Chen, I originally wanted to help you sincerely, but since Qinglian says so, then forget it."
"Your family's affairs will have nothing to do with me from now on. I'm leaving."
He pretended to leave, but in his heart, he expected Chen's mother to stop him.
As expected, Chen's mother quickly said to him, "Don't be angry. If you leave, what will we do!"
Yang Zhi said with a straight face, "What do you want me to do? She doesn't need my help. Am I supposed to beg her?"
"I also have pride. Since that's the case, it's better not to talk about it!"
Chen's mother was anxious and immediately reprimanded Chen Qinglian, "Qinglian, how can you be like this!"
"You're not even saving your father. This is unfilial!"
"Tell me, if Mr. Yang leaves, who else can save your father?"
Chen Qinglian felt very angry seeing her mother so stubborn.
But at this moment, she didn't know what to say, as she really couldn't come up with an effective solution.
Yang Zhi sneered from the side. His plan was set, and now he just had to wait for Chen Qinglian to fall into it!
This woman actually dared to be so cold to him!
When he finally embraced his beauty, on their wedding night, he would definitely make this girl taste his power!
But just as he was having a pleasant dream, suddenly, a cold voice sounded:
"I'll take care of this. I'll save your father."
Wu Tian's words stunned everyone. Chen's mother finally noticed Wu Tian's presence.
She couldn't help but ask Chen Qinglian, "Daughter, who is this? I've never seen him before."
Chen Qinglian hadn't figured out how to introduce Wu Tian yet.
Wu Tian spoke first, "Hello, Auntie. My name is Wu Tian. I'm Qinglian's friend. I'm here to help you."
"Ah?" Hearing this, Chen's mother was even more confused.
On the other hand, Yang Zhi was also somewhat surprised by Wu Tian's sudden intervention.
His expression immediately turned grim, and he looked at Wu Tian, saying, "Kid, who are you? What business is it of yours?"
"I'm telling you, don't meddle in other people's business. This isn't something you can get involved in. You should leave here as soon as possible!"
Chen Qinglian disliked Yang Zhi's attitude and replied, "How are you talking to Wu Tian?"
"Wu Tian is my friend. As for you, you have no relation to our family. What right do you have to interfere in our family's affairs?"
"You!" Yang Zhi was so angry that his face turned green.
He sensed that if Chen Qinglian was defending Wu Tian like this, their relationship might be unusual.
Perhaps they had even slept together secretly...
This jealousy immediately surged in his heart.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Qinglian, I advise you to be sensible. Only I can save your family now!"
"I believe you also know that this is not a fight between ordinary thugs. This is a conflict between sects. Anyone who gets involved will only meet their death!"
"You're letting him get involved unnecessarily. Aren't you afraid he'll die there!"
Chen Qinglian was slightly stunned. This was indeed what she was worried about.
Although she knew Wu Tian was capable, Qinglian Swordplay was not to be trifled with. She really didn't have the confidence to say that Wu Tian would definitely win.
Just as she didn't know what to say, Wu Tian coldly said again, "You're the one who should be talking about that. You're just a ronin, do you really think you're that capable?"
"Guys like you will be lucky to save your own lives."
"How dare you!" Yang Zhi was furious seeing Wu Tian look down on him so much.
He raised his sword, pointing the tip directly at Wu Tian, and said angrily, "You've provoked me. I'm telling you, I won't let you off easily today!"
"If you know what's good for you, apologize to me now and get lost immediately!"
"Otherwise, you won't be able to keep your right hand today!"
