As long as there are enough vests, the plot can't kill me
Chapter 16 The Wind Rises
"Uncle Kun, eat more these two days. When we go out, we will probably have to eat from a big pot."
Early in the morning, Lin Xiao set up a luxurious banquet and made his plans clear in his words.
"Girl, are you really determined to listen to the Patriarch?"
When there are no outsiders around, Uncle Kun is more casual, especially when eating, his facial expressions become much more expressive.
Lin Xiao filled the glass with wine, raised it lightly and clinked it with the other person's, his face full of helplessness.
"What can I do if I don't listen? Comrade Lao Lin not only emptied his own private money, but also took out the New Year's money I gave them over the years, and even sold the small treasury that my mother asked him to keep.
He will have to go to school even if he gets beaten up by my mother several times."
Uncle Kun's mouth curled up slightly when he heard the explanation. He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp without exposing this hypocritical little girl.
Thinking back to the past, he could no longer remember why he followed Lin Xiao, he just thought this girl was very interesting.
Just like when they get along as a family, it is always the daughter who takes care of the two adults. On the other hand, the parents, one is addicted to cultivation, and the other is careless, and both are unreliable.
"How far are you going to go?"
"That depends on whether they value the job I gave them. Uncle Kun, stop talking and come and eat your food."
Lin Xiao was so attentive that even a fool could tell there was something fishy going on.
But Uncle Kun didn't care at all. While eating various spiritual things that he couldn't name, he planned in his mind to practice sword skills after dinner.
He has been eating good food these years, and his cultivation has only improved, but he has not killed people very often.
If I don't behave myself, once I'm fired by this girl, where will I be able to find such a generous sucker?
In the small courtyard, one of them urged people to drink and serve food, while the other enjoyed the meal with peace of mind. They did not step out of the courtyard for two whole days, each preparing for the coming storm.
I don’t know if Lin Tianze trusted his daughter too much, he actually believed the nonsense told by the second butler and thought that Lin Xiao was packing the gifts seriously.
For this, he felt greatly comforted in his heart and was more motivated to deal with the troubles within the family.
The head of the Lin family, who had endured not going to his daughter's yard for two days, originally planned to sneak over to take a look, but when he heard that a conflict had occurred in the warehouse again, he quickly changed direction.
When he learned the cause of the incident, he could no longer suppress his anger.
"What's going on? Aren't these spirit stones the monthly income of Zhenxiu Pavilion? What do you want to do?"
"Master, we are in urgent need of purchasing a batch of cultivation instruments. Can you talk to the young master and ask him to lend them to us temporarily as an emergency measure?"
No one in the Qianxiu Sect was afraid of this head of the family who had no prestige, not even the younger generation.
Several young men who were favored by their elders failed to snatch the spiritual stones from the warehouse, and turned around and asked to borrow them.
Lin Tianze was not a fool, he slapped him directly, "How dare you touch Xiao Xiao's things?"
Snapped!
"Master, without us and the Lin family, how could the young master be where he is today?" The great elder who came upon hearing the news stretched out his hand to block the attack, looking at the angry master of the Lin family with a playful look.
"Your shamelessness is disgusting. Your share of the profits has already been distributed. Besides, is the Great Elder deaf or blind? In the Great Thousand Worlds, Lin Xiao's reputation is far more important than that of the Young Master of the Lin Family. Are you going to rob him now?"
“Master, no matter what you say, the young master is inseparable from the Lin family. This is not just my opinion.”
As soon as these words came out, Lin Tianze's expression immediately turned ugly. On the third day after Piao Miao Pavilion published its publication, Qian Xiu Sect finally showed its fangs.
They did not want to launch a collective attack, but instead targeted the huge industries under Xiao Xiao's name, those things that the Lin family had no access to.
"Great Elder, can I understand that you are talking about the ancestors?"
"That's good to know. Patriarch, the ancestor wants to see you."
The Great Elder stood in the middle of the road, neither bowing nor giving way, and conveyed orders in a notification tone.
Behind him were a group of eyes full of teasing and greed.
Strength is respected in the universe. Even if the affairs faction is unwilling, they must accept their fate as the weak.
What could Lin Xiao do? Facing the furious ancestor, he couldn't even jump up.
The resistance of ants will only bring ridicule from the strong.
Lin Tianze understood what the other person was thinking. He appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually panicking inside.
He is not Xiaoxiao, and cannot face the ancestors of the Lin family as calmly as his daughter. Not only himself, but even his wife cannot do that.
Perhaps, this is the main reason why this couple is disliked by their daughter on a daily basis and becomes a burden.
At this time, all the senior members of the Lin family gathered in the main hall. The two factions of affairs and cultivation were clearly divided, and no one wanted to be close to the other.
On the main seat in the north, on the right sat a man who looked younger than the great elder and had an imposing manner without being angry. He was the eighth ancestor of the Lin family, Lin Dong.
And on the left side, there is another person sitting in the position representing the distinguished guest.
The head of the Lin family was not unfamiliar with this person. He was a deacon of the Cultivation Alliance, who was specifically responsible for mediating some disputes in the local area to prevent the major forces from going too far and causing large-scale wars.
As a deacon of the Cultivation Alliance, he appeared in the Lin family at this time, obviously with a special purpose.
"Meet the Eighth Ancestor."
"Where's Lin Xiao?"
Lin Tianze was not surprised that his greeting was ignored, and bowed again as a junior, "Tianze greets the Eighth Ancestor."
"Let me ask you, where is Lin Xiao?" The man didn't buy it at all and it was obvious that he was there to ask for accountability.
The head of the Lin family is not stupid. He has already judged from the tone of the ancestor that today's matter will not be resolved peacefully.
He stood up slowly and responded calmly, "Replying to the Eighth Ancestor, Xiaoxiao has gone to school."
go to school?
When this answer came out, everyone was surprised.
They gathered here today, intending to use the publication as an excuse to denounce the rebellious young master of the family in order to achieve a specific goal.
In a top-level cultivation family, there is no situation where one cannot cultivate due to talent.
The young master of the Lin family was still a mortal at the age of 25. Everyone in the world understood that it was not that he could not but that he was unwilling to do so. It was an uncompromising resistance to the family.
She openly walked around the outside world as a mortal, which was equivalent to exposing the internal conflicts of the family to the outside world. Now the whole world is laughing at the Lin family.
This incident gave the Qianxiu Sect the best excuse to attack. No matter how the young master explained, it was useless because the facts were the facts.
After today, Lin Xiao has only two options: either cut off his own flesh and blood to ensure his safety and hand over most of his private property to the family, or surrender completely and officially embark on the path of Taoism.
Including the Lin family's ancestor who serves as the foundation, all the cultivators believe that this is a good opportunity to suppress the rebellious young master of the Lin family.
After a few years, when the opponent has grown stronger, it may not be possible to suppress him. After all, the two names Lin Xiao are too famous in the world and no one can ignore them.
Now Lin Xiao is being dealt with on the grounds of internal family affairs. Outsiders cannot interfere, no matter how many connections one has. Otherwise, it will violate the rules set by the Cultivation Alliance.
This is also why, among the eight surviving ancestors of the Lin family, only the youngest, Lin Dong, was allowed to preside over the meeting.
Because in their hearts, Lin Xiao, without external support, would not be able to make any difference.
Even if an accident really happens, Deacon Zheng sitting in the hall represents the Cultivation Alliance and will be a big deterrent.
However, the premise of all this is that Young Master Lin must be present.
If she did not attend the meeting, then everyone in the hall would be a joke. Once the news got out, the Qianxiu Sect would be too ashamed to stay in the outside world.
"Lin Xiao, is he really not in the family?"
"Replying to the Eighth Ancestor, it is absolutely true. Xiaoxiao received the admission letter from Yaoguang University a few days ago and has already gone to school."
Lin Tianze's overly confident expression made many people feel uneasy.
Two days ago, there was indeed a cultivator who claimed to be Yaoguang who came to the Lin family to deliver a letter.
Is the young master really gone?
In an instant, the hall fell silent, with a hint of awkwardness in the solemn atmosphere.
The head of the Lin family took advantage of the moment when everyone was frightened to quietly wipe the sweat from his palms and sighed deeply in his heart.
I just hope Xiaoxiao has seen the opportunity to leave, otherwise something really bad will happen!
