Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

Chapter 876 Asking for trouble

Whether it was pushing over the city lord of Weinan or taking away the people's life-saving grain, both touched Zhang Yuelu's bottom line.

"Do you want everything the city lord has done over the years to go to waste?"

Just as she was about to act, a pair of large hands tightly gripped her small hands.

Zhang Yuelu instinctively tried to break free, but found that Lin Ping was very strong.

She wasn't incapable of breaking free, but she felt that those large hands were warm and gave her a sense of security.

"Killing is illegal. Don't implicate the City Lord's Mansion for a moment of pleasure. If you can't hold your temper now, you might as well have fought the imperial court to the death more than ten years ago. Not only that, but once the City Lord's Mansion is destroyed, these people will have no one to rely on. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the City Lord and these innocent people."

Lin Ping spoke seriously in Zhang Yuelu's ear.

"You are a coward!"

Zhang Yuelu forcefully shook off Lin Ping's hand, but the murderous intent in her eyes dimmed considerably.

She knew Lin Ping was trying to help her, but the anger in her heart was hard to quell, so she could only vent it on Lin Ping.

“That’s not what I meant…” Zhang Yuelu explained subconsciously, for some reason, she was worried that Lin Ping would be saddened by this.

"You've successfully ignited my fighting spirit." Lin Ping smiled faintly and slowly walked to Cui Liangzhi's side.

He patted the other person on the shoulder and said casually, "That's enough."

Perhaps Lin Ping was too fast, because Cui Liangzhi didn't notice at all. He was suddenly patted and was immediately startled.

"Who are you, kid? How dare you meddle in my business?" Cui Liangzhi forcefully pushed Lin Ping's arm away, his gaze lingering on Lin Ping's handsome face for a long time.

It has to be said that Lin Ping's face is so exquisite that even girls envy him.

Even though Cui Liangzhi had never been one to win people over with his looks, he was now feeling a bit jealous.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm the man who was captured by Xiaohua!" Lin Ping cleared his throat and said in a serious tone.

Zhang Yuelu, who was originally furious, suddenly burst out laughing. It wasn't because Lin Ping used the same trick again, nor because of his serious demeanor, but because of how he addressed her.

"Little Flower?" Zhang Yuelu murmured to herself, her face flushed.

Hearing this title in Weinan City is not unusual, but it feels strange coming from Lin Ping.

Cui Liangzhi immediately realized that something was wrong; the implication of being captured was quite clear, and his hostility towards Lin Ping grew to an unprecedented level.

"You dare to steal my woman? You're asking for death!" Cui Liangzhi clenched his fist, which was as big as a clay pot, and was about to smash it at Lin Ping.

"Young Master Cui, hitting someone is against the law. You wouldn't hit me in front of everyone, would you?" Lin Ping said sarcastically.

With his strength, how could he be afraid of a mere Cui Liangzhi? Lin Ping was waiting for the other party to dig his own pit.

Cui Liangzhi indeed stopped. The reason he didn't forcibly abduct the woman was to take her away without breaking the law. If he hit Lin Ping now, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?

“Kid, since we both like Xiaohua, why don’t we have a contest between men?” Cui Liangzhi said confidently.

"But..." Seeing that Cui Liangzhi had dug a big pit, Lin Ping really couldn't bear to do it.

"Are you scared? Xiaohua doesn't like cowardly men." Cui Liangzhi emphasized.

This provocation worked! Lin Ping gritted his teeth and adopted the demeanor of a weak scholar. "Fine, I'll fight you!"

In this way, the two were engaged in a normal competition, rather than fighting.

"Pretty boy, you're just waiting to die!" Cui Liangzhi thought viciously to himself. He didn't think Lin Ping, this pretty boy, had much ability.

"No!" Zhang Yuelu suddenly said from behind, deliberately putting on a worried look.

"Don't worry!" Lin Ping gave him a strange look.

"He'll kill you!" Zhang Yuelu guessed Lin Ping's thoughts and said cooperatively.

Cui Liangzhi then realized that although the competition itself was not illegal, the nature of the crime would be different if someone was maimed or killed.

"Kid, fists have no eyes. Injuries and deaths are inevitable in a contest. Why don't we sign a waiver of life and death?" Cui Liangzhi's eyes were full of cunning, clearly indicating that he was going to cripple Lin Ping.

Lin Ping looked extremely pained, repeatedly thinking to himself, "Such a good thing?"

After a difficult decision and Zhang Yuelu's strong opposition, Lin Ping reluctantly signed the waiver of life and death.

"Sigh, this young man is really too reckless."

"Good people don't live long, but evil people live for thousands of years."

The onlookers kept shaking their heads; they didn't think highly of Lin Ping, who was small and fair-skinned.

She's no match for fighting; she might have made a name for herself in the world of needlework, but unfortunately, she's going to die here.

"Hahaha, he actually dared to challenge our young master and even signed a death waiver. He must be a fool. I really don't know how the princess could have fallen for him."

The servants around Cui Liangzhi kept mocking him, almost laughing until they cried.

"Ruthless, admit defeat now, or he'll beat you to death!" the Weinan City Lord shouted.

He knew Lin Ping was young and impetuous, and that he wanted to protect Zhang Yuelu, but his actions were unwise.

However, Lin Ping did not back down, because there was absolutely no reason to back down.

"Someone like you, I could crush ten of you with one kick. I won't bully you, I'll let you have three moves first." Cui Liangzhi beckoned, looking like he was determined to win.

"Oh!"

He uttered a single, simple word, without the slightest change in expression.

"Looks like he's been scared out of his wits by me," Cui Liangzhi said smugly, waiting for Lin Ping's three weak and feeble moves.

However, before he could react, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Bang!

A fist carrying hundreds of pounds of force landed directly on Cui Liangzhi's shinbone, making his already less-than-handsome face even more unsightly.

This punch not only broke Cui Liangzhi's nose, but also caused his entire face to collapse, and excruciating pain rushed over him.

The force of the impact sent Cui Liangzhi staggering back about ten steps. Just as he was about to regain his balance, a sharp pain shot through his lower back again.

Lin Ping's kick broke his waist.

Due to the upward force, Cui Liangzhi's body flew up in a parabolic arc.

As the parabola reached its peak, Lin Ping's figure flashed again, his knee, imbued with the power of his entire body, descending from the sky. This time, the target was Cui Liangzhi's inner thigh, and it was slightly off target.

Bang!

Lin Ping's knee slammed into the inside of Cui Liangzhi's thigh, and they both fell down.

The two crashed to the ground like cannonballs, and Lin Ping finally completed the second stage of damage with this attack.

Click!

The ground cracked open, revealing the shape of Lin Ping's knee.

“It’s broken…” Lin Ping painfully pulled out his knee and said meaningfully.
