"Could there be something fishy about his identity?"

The crowd was puzzled, harboring renewed doubts about Lin Yifan's identity.

On the other side, Tang Jing was so surprised by the response that she was lost for words.

She couldn't believe that she had guessed right; the spirited man before them truly was her former classmate, Lin Yifan.

"How did he change like this? How did he come to possess such immense power? How could he have such an identity?"

One question after another surfaced in her mind; Lin Yifan before her was truly no longer the Lin Yifan who used to be bullied; now he had both money and strength.

"He just said that for my happiness, he would be willing to offend the entire Zhao Family. Was he serious? Could he really like me?"

Tang Jing felt out of her depth. She had never harbored any feelings of affection for Lin Yifan; but now, seeing him again, she actually felt a slight fondness for him, perhaps because humans are visual creatures. More importantly, Lin Yifan gave her a strong sense of security that she could lean on.

While Tang Jing was still reeling with shock, Zhao Yi was already furious.

Hearing Lin Yifan actually calling himself a despicable person, Zhao Yi couldn't contain his anger and then growled, "Who the hell are you calling a despicable person?"

"I'm talking about you! Who else could it be!" Lin Yifan answered.

"Damn it, without evidence, don't slander people!"

"Whether I am slandering or not, you know best in your heart. Don't think that no one will find out about the dirty things you've done before. Just a little investigation, a little search, and everyone can know," Lin Yifan replied.

The clans' young masters present actually understood what kind of person Zhao Yi was, but they were not much different themselves, so they didn't say anything.

"F*ck you, you dead bastard, Tang Jing will never be with you, just give up on that thought," Zhao Yi spat out in a fit of rage.

Zhao Yi was truly infuriated, and now he could only mock Lin Yifan like this.

However, Lin Yifan was unswayed and explained, "If she wishes to continue being foolish, of course I will give up on her; but if she wants to take control of her own happiness, then I can help her!"

Hearing this, Tang Jing suddenly had an epiphany. Now, only Lin Yifan could save her; otherwise, she would become someone without freedom or happiness.

"You think you can help just because you want to? Who do you think you are?" Zhao Yi demanded angrily.

His dignity did not allow for provocation.

"Precisely because I am the direct disciple of the Medicine Saint!" Lin Yifan retorted confidently.

With these words, the entire place was shocked once again.

These clans' young masters had only guessed that Lin Yifan was a disciple of Medicinal Saint Valley with a special status, backed by the Medicine Saint; they had never imagined that Lin Yifan was actually the direct disciple of the Medicine Saint, which was truly terrifying.

"Do you think he's telling the truth?"

"It's highly likely, the Medicine Saint Order isn't something just anyone can get their hands on."

"Actually, there might be a false element to it as well; we can't rule out that he's lying to intimidate Zhao Yi."

The opinions were varied, and everyone was uncertain about the truth of Lin Yifan's words.

"Brother Long, do you think Brother Lin is telling the truth?" Lu Qiu Shaoge inquired.

"Whether it's true or not, there should be no mistake about his identity as a Medicinal Saint Valley disciple," Long Tengyu replied.

"That's true! It's just uncertain if Brother Lin dares to really fight with Zhao Yi for her."

"If he dared to say it like that, he should dare to do it that way."

On the other side, Zhao Yi clenched his teeth, hatred for Lin Yifan searing in his bones. He hadn't expected Lin Yifan to use the identity of a direct disciple of the Medicine Saint to pressure him, which was a heavy blow, as it meant that his family might not side with him and help him.

However, he believed that Tang Jing would not abandon him, so he calmed his emotions and replied coolly, "Tang Jing has found her happiness, so stop worrying about her."

"I only want to hear the answer from her lips," Lin Yifan responded, staring intently at Tang Jing, hoping she could give him a straightforward response.

"Baby, tell him quickly that you've found your happiness and advise him not to meddle in other people's business," Zhao Yi urged Tang Jing beside him, trying to use Tang Jing to weaken Lin Yifan's arrogant spirit.

"I…" Tang Jing stammered, undecided.

Every time she wanted to express her true feelings, she couldn't help but remember Zhao Yi's assistance; therefore, for a moment, she did not know what to do.

Seeing this situation, Lin Yifan gave her some courage, "Don't hesitate, speak out your thoughts, and leave the rest to me."

With Lin Yifan's words, somehow, Tang Jing suddenly found the courage, and in one breath, she revealed her true feelings, "Zhao Yi! I'm sorry, but I never liked you. The only reason I agreed to marry you was to repay a favor."

At this response, Zhao Yi felt as if struck by a thunderbolt, and he completely crumbled.

He could not believe that Tang Jing had no feelings for him, which made him furious.

After all, he was a presentable young man with admirers and suitors enough to circle ten streets, so what right did Tang Jing have to disdain him?

"You shameless woman! I've always been so good to you, even paid off your father's two billion in gambling debts, and now you repay kindness with betrayal, siding with an outsider to bully me, I'll kill you!"

Unable to contain his anger, Zhao Yi grabbed Tang Jing's neck with one hand, intending to strangle her to death.

Watching this scene, Lin Yifan moved quickly, attacking towards Zhao Yi.

However, just as he was about to reach Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi pulled Tang Jing in front of him as a shield, and then threatened, "Don't come any closer! Take one more step, and I'll kill her!"

"If you dare to kill her, I'll kill you today," Lin Yifan threatened in return.

He had never imagined that Zhao Yi would go to such extremes, and he had indeed miscalculated.

"Heh! It doesn't matter to me if I die, but if a beautiful woman dies, won't you feel heartache?" Zhao Yi sneered, his question laced with contempt, not at all intimidated by Lin Yifan's threat.

In fact, he was testing the depth of Lin Yifan's love for Tang Jing. If Lin Yifan truly loved Tang Jing to the point of no return, he believed Lin Yifan would willingly die for her; hence, that was his purpose.

Lin Yifan understood what Zhao Yi was thinking, which was nothing more than wanting to use Tang Jing to constrain him.

To be honest, his rescue of Tang Jing was solely to repay a past favor, and although there were some emotions mixed in, they were not substantial.

So, he inquired, "What do you want?"

"As long as you commit suicide in public, I'll let her go," Zhao Yi shamelessly replied.

"It's this move again, why do all the useless people think of using such despicable tricks against powerful adversaries?" Lin Yifan was exasperated.
