C229 The Lin Family Seized Power
If someone was outside, they would definitely think that the hall was empty. However, as long as they opened the door and entered, they would be able to see that there were more than ten people seated inside.
Patriarch Lin Tian Chou, Great Clan Elder Lin Faangda, and Eldest Miss Lin Xi were all among them. The other few elders were all elders from the side branches who had status and position in the Lin Family.
Everyone's face were solemn, the Great Clan Elder Lin Faangda who was sitting in the middle had a gloomy face, some of his anger was raging.
"Lin Xi, an outsider of unknown origin, how could she easily bring such a person into the Inner Palace? How will you manage my Lin Family in the future? "
"Great Clan Elder, I have already asked clearly, his name is Ye Feng. He is a student who is heading to the capital's Martial Palace to study. Saving a life is better than creating a seven-levelled pagoda. Why can't I save him? "
The gentle and gentle expression that appeared on Lin Xi's face before was no longer present as she spoke with a determined expression.
"Who knows if what he said is true or not? Our Martial Ning's three great families, the Zhu Family and the Leng Clan have always been eyeing our Lin Family fiercely, and only because of this old man, can we temporarily suppress their two families. If the other party sends some vicious people to ambush this old man, then wouldn't that cause a great disaster? "
"Furthermore, even if he is not a spy from the Zhu and Leng Clans, and his origins are unknown, and the person who injured him is someone else, you recklessly saved him, and if his opponent is a great expert, how could we, the Lin Family, afford to offend him?"
Seeing that Lin Xi actually went against him, Lin Faangda became even angrier and shouted while patting the back of the red wooden chair.
These words immediately drew a flurry of discussion from the others present.
In the end, the one who had the most authority in the Lin Family was not the patriarch Lin Tianheng, but the stronger Great Clan Elder Lin Faangda. Hearing his words, a few of the elders started chattering.
"Lin Xi, as the successor of Lin Family, you have to take the position of Lin Family no matter what happens. How can you do whatever you want?"
"This old man has already said that the doe, Si Chen, does not bode well. Since the Patriarch has no children, why not choose a man from the other branches of the family to be the successor to our Lin Family. That girl, Lin Xi, married out a long time ago. "
"Deacon is right. His cultivation has already reached the Innate Second Level at such a young age, so his future is limitless. Moreover, he is the grandson of the Patriarch, so he can be considered our Lin Family's descendant.
In the end, his surname is not Lin, and if you want to become the Clan Master of our Lin Family, you must have a surname Lin. In my opinion, the great clan elder's nephew, Lin Xiaohao, has a good character.
"..."
Hearing the various voices of opposition in the hall, Lin Tiancheng's face revealed a helpless expression as she quietly said to Lin Xi: "Xiao Xi, how can you go against the Great Clan Elder? Hurry and apologize to Great Elder, then send that whatever Ye Feng out of the house … "
Lin Xi coldly snorted, and said: "I'm not wrong, why should I apologize? Father, you can't be so patient anymore. The matter with Ye Feng is only an excuse, in reality, these people all want to occupy our Lin Family's property. If we chase Ye Feng away today, tomorrow, Chen Feng and Li Feng will come out. There will be a day when this Lin Family turns into a Lin Family that does not belong to us, father and daughter! "
"How dare you."
"What a little girl, a girl is born with an open heart. Sooner or later, she will be splashed with water. Truly impudent."
Lin Faangda's face became stern, and said coldly: "Lin Xi, if you continue to speak nonsense, do not listen to my advice, and persevere, this old man has the authority to convene the elders to change your identity as the Patriarch's successor!"
When these words were spoken, the other Deacon s and elders revealed sinister smiles in their eyes, as if they were eager to see this scene unfold.
Lin Tian's mind was in a mess as he hurriedly cupped his hands towards Lin Faangda and said: "Great Clan Elder, Little Xi is young and inexperienced, please do not bother about her. This old man shall be the judge, then …."
"Father!" Lin Xi decisively interrupted Lin Tian Chou, her voice ice-cold as she ridiculed, "As the Patriarch of Lin Family, what does that have to do with anything? In any case, the one controlling everything from behind is not the Great Clan Elder.
Lin Faangda took a deep breath, his eyes blazing with fire, he clenched his fists tightly and said: "Alright, good, good, the little girl has grown up, her wings have become hard, to dare speak to to this old man, this old man has decided to …"
"Bam!"
Right at this moment, an earth-shattering sound came from the outside. The tightly shut door of the meeting hall seemed to have been smashed open by someone. A huge stone lion that was originally coiled at the top of the stairs was stuck on the wooden door that flew into the hall.
At the door, a figure appeared.
Someone had used a stone lion as big as this to smash the door of the meeting hall?
"How dare you!"
"Who is it, come to my Lin Family and behave atrociously!"
Everyone hurriedly stood up and looked towards the entrance of the hall.
At that place, the figure of a fifteen or sixteen year old youth was exceptionally eye-catching. He took a firm step forward, and completely disregarded the gazes of the Lin Family experts within the hall as if they were killing people, and directly walked into the hall.
"Ye Feng?" Lin Xi's eyes were filled with surprise.
Lin Faangda bellowed: Who is he? Why would they appear in our Lin Family Inner Academy? "
"Great Clan Elder, he is the Ye Feng that Little Xi saved. I … I will let him go right now."
A drop of cold sweat trickled down Lin Tian Chou's forehead as he looked at Ye Feng with a hint of anger.
Just because he saved this person, his daughter was denounced by the Great Elder. The Great Elder had even threatened to convene a Elders Guild to cripple his daughter's successor identity as the Patriarch. This brat, who didn't know what was good for himself, had actually used a stone lion to smash the door of the meeting hall?
Is he thinking it's not messy enough?
Would he have to bring his daughter to the point where she would never be able to get out of this predicament?
"This is the brat that Lin Xi saved? How dare you ruin my Lin Family. "
"With how arrogant and despotic she is, one look is enough to tell that she is not a Son of Aristocratic Family that was cultivated by some large clan or sect. Since Lin Xi knows these bandits, what qualifications does she have to be the Patriarch?"
"Didn't you say that this person was severely injured and unconscious? "Why can't I see that he looks injured at all?"
"That's right, it must be Lin Xi's scheme, she might want to use this opportunity to probe the Great Clan Elder's reaction. How laughable, this is akin to lifting a stone to smash one's own heels. This little girl, she has tied herself up in a cocoon. "
All the elders started to guess, and it was obvious that they were pointing at Lin Xi. The hall was filled with clamor, everyone scolded him, it seemed that Lin Xi, the heir to the clan, would not be able to keep her position no matter what.
"Ye Feng, why are you up? If you have not recovered from your injuries and are not lying down to recuperate, what are you doing here? " Lin Xi frowned.
"These old fellows are barking non-stop, I can't stand listening to them. Miss Lin, they are obviously trying to take over your Lin Family's property, do you need my help?" Ye Feng rolled up his sleeves and asked.
"Come, come, a Half-Step Innate Stage of yours … This is a matter of our Lin Family, you don't have to disturb this muddy water. " Lin Xi stepped forward quickly, pulled Ye Feng's arm and was about to push him away.
"Wait!"
