C31 Opening of the Good Show
Seeing Lin Hai and Lin Feng, the Great Elder Lin Zhen stood up and said in a clear voice, “Since you actually showed up, let’s prepare to start the annual gathering.”
Lin Hai stopped as he heard Lin Zhen’s words. He stared at Lin Zhen, causing the Lin Family members’ gazes to slightly constrict, not knowing what was going on with Lin Hai.
“Lin Hai, what are you doing?” Lin Zhen asked once noticing that Lin Hai had stopped.
“Humph, Lin Zhen, let me ask you, in the current Lin Family, who is the Patriarch/?” Lin Hai said indifferently.
The gaze of the great elder, Lin Zhen, focused on him and his expression darkened. However, he still replied, “Of course, it’s you, Lin Hai.”
“Then, let me ask you, is the Lin Family’s annual gathering a top priority?” Lin Hai looked straight at Lin Zhen and continued asking.
“Of course, the annual gathering is the Lin Family’s most important occasion every year.”
“Very well, furthermore, I wonder who should host occasions of this kind of top priority.”
Hearing Lin Hai’s words, Lin Zhen’s expression completely darkened. Clearly, he already knew what Lin Hai meant.
“The major matters of our Lin Family should be handled by our Patriarch.”
“Since that is the case, Lin Zhen, let me ask you something. What are you doing there? Do you still take me as the Patriarch in your mind?” Lin Hai’s voice was ice-cold. It was no secret that Lin Zhen and Lin Badao had colluded together. Almost everyone in the Lin Family knew that nowadays, Lin Zhen was becoming more and more unscrupulous.
“Hehe, Second Uncle, just because you came too late, the Great Elder took the responsibility to be the administrator. What’s wrong with that? Don’t you have any sense of propriety.” Lin Qianqian asked calmly.
“Shut up.” Lin Hai scolded her, “Do you think you have any qualification to interrupt your elders? Lin Badao, manage your daughter. What manners do you have?”
Lin Qian’s expression froze as she cursed in her heart. Could it be that he was aware that his position of Patriarch was coming to an end and started to go crazy.
“She’s still better than your good-for-nothing son.” Lin Badao stared at Lin Feng and let out a cold laugh. With Lin Qian’s status in the Lin Family, how could he allow Lin Hai to insult her?
“Watch your mouth! In my eyes, a small Patriarch of the Lin Family is nothing more than an ant.” This woman was dressed in luxurious clothing, her cold face showing a trace of malice. Just like Lin Qian, she was an inner disciple of the Bright Moon Sect. How could she think highly of the Lin Family?
“Since Bright Moon Sect is so superior, why would you condescend to show up in my Lin Family? My father is the Patriarch of the Lin Family, I don’t think he has ever invited you before. Could it be that you are an unexpected guest?” The silent Lin Feng could not help but speak. When it comes to argument, who could even compare to him as the one that had lived two lifetimes? The language of that world was various and profound.
“You …” The harsh woman’s expression changed, but she soon sneered, “How dare a trash of the Cloud Sea Sect boast so shamelessly?”
“Whether I am a trash is not the key matter here. Whatever, unlike a certain someone, I know how shameless it is to come to one’s house as a guest but insult the Patriarch. It turns out that all the people groomed by the Bright Moon Sect are like this.”
Lin Feng’s words were laced with irony, causing the expressions of Lin Qian and the rest to change.
“Bastard, how dare you insult the Bright Moon Sect.” An elder stood up and started berating Lin Feng.
“Ridiculous, she is standing in the Lin Family and insulting the master of the Lin Family, but you are standing up for her. I would like to ask, Seventh Elder, are you a member of my Lin Family, or a dog of the Bright Moon Sect?”
Every word from Lin Feng was as sharp as a blade, yet it firmly was true and was impeccable.
“Well said, I also want to ask, Seventh Elder, is your surname Lin?” Lin Hai shouted in agreement. At this moment, Lin Hai was also extremely shocked. He did not expect his son’s cultivation to soar, and his words to be so powerful as well. Every word of his was filled with strength.
“Alright, I am to blame for it. The Patriarch, the annual gathering of the Lin Family is the most important matter, we cannot delay it. Please take over it.” Grand Elder Lin Zhen, having received Lin Badao’s order, slightly compromised. He wanted to see just how long Lin Hai and Lin Feng would be able to remain arrogant for.
“Hmph.” Lin Hai waved his sleeves and walked towards the main seat with Lin Feng, then they sat in the center of the group.
“Let’s see how long you can be so overbearing, Lin Hai, I’ll embarrass you when I become a core disciple of the sect.” Lin Qian coldly said in her heart.
“Let the annual gathering begin.” There was a total of four or five hundred members of the Lin Family, and there were about seventy younger generation members from twelfth to eighteenth at their best ages. It was a pity that some people in the Family had evil intentions and knew nothing about leadership, making the members disunited at all. Maybe it was a mistake for his father to pass the position as Patriarch to him back then.
Lin Hai felt a bit bitter. If it wasn’t for that powerful martial soul … There was no need for him to worry about the position of the Patriarch of the Lin Family.
“Dad, don’t worry. I won’t let the Lin Family fall under my hands.” Lin Hai felt guilty. He vaguely remembered his father’s words before his death, but unfortunately, he could not focus all his attention on the Lin Family.
The annual gathering was actually a test of the cultivation of the disciples of the Family. This is a show to witness how much progress they had made. The young generation represented the future of the Family after all.
As for the content of the annual gathering, it was a test of one’s strength in battle.
The Lin Family’s Second Elder walked to the center of the high platform and said in a clear voice: “The first round will be a free-for-all battle. Everyone will come to the platform and the 32 remaining people will advance to the next round.”
Finishing his words, the Lin Family’s Second Elder walked down the platform as the Lin Family’s young disciples all ascended the stage.
Lin Feng nodded his head at Lin Hai and also walked up the platform.
“I wonder if Lin Qian and the rest will deliberately target me.” Standing at the edge of the battle stage, Lin Feng’s eyes glimmered as he secretly thought in his heart.
Soon, a total of seventy-three young disciples all arrived at the enormous battle stage. They looked around vigilantly, especially those who were weaker. It was very possible that they would become the first targets.
Once Lin Qian stepped up the battle stage, disciples stepped aside to make way for her. No one dared to provoke her, as the first round’s goal was to eliminate the weak. Very few would make a move against those strong individuals, unless they were asking for death, and Lin Qian was undoubtedly one of the strongest. The crowd would rather avoid than attack her.
As for Lin Feng, he soon saw many people staring at him. Their gazes flickered one after another, as if he was their prey, treating him as an easy target.
The battle on the stage had already erupted. The spear-wielding young man walked to the side of Lin Feng, the rest of the people around him all knew that this man was not to be trifled with.
“Get the hell down, don’t embarrass yourself here.” Lin Wu looked at Lin Feng with disdain. He was the son of the Seventh Elder who had a grudge with Lin Feng just now.
Lin Wu’s cultivation was already at the Seventh Level of Qi Martial Stage half a year ago. Now, he should have stepped into the Eighth Level of Qi Martial Stage and his strength was on par with Lin Yu.
“He’s mine.” A cold voice drifted over. Lin Qian, who wore a long robe with a phoenix tail, walked over with arrogance.
“It’s all the same.” Naturally, Lin Wu would not fight with Lin Qian over this opponent so he stepped aside to make way.
Lin Qian walked up to Lin Feng and said, “Don’t worry, no one will touch you in this round and you will be promoted successfully. It’s not fun for you to be relegated this early.”
“Hmm?” Lin Feng was stunned, he did not think that Lin Qian was actually there to help him advance to next round, this was indeed a little funny, however if he could advance without making a move, why not? Of course, Lin Qian, who had seen his strength, also knew that if she did not personally do it, there would be few here who could force Lin Feng out.
On the life and death arena of the Cloud Sea Sect, Lin Feng had cut off the arm of a person with a cultivation at the Ninth Level of Qi Martial Stage.
“What is Lin Qian doing? Why did she leave that trash behind?” When the Great Elder, who was prepared to see Lin Feng make a fool of himself, saw that Lin Qian was actually protecting him, he could not help but ask Lin Badao in a low voice.
“Don’t you think it’s fun to watch a piece of trash advance to the second round? Furthermore, the second round will be a rotating battle and everyone will have to fight for a few rounds. What do you think the trash will face in the future? ” Lin Badao thought that he had got Lin Qian’s intention and his smile was become even more sinister.
“Hehe, why didn’t I think of it? It is indeed a good show.” When Lin Zhen heard the explanation, he secretly exclaimed. It was as if he had already seen Lin Feng being ravaged time and time again in the second round. Could he still have any chance to display his speech talent in next round?
