When Chen Bahuang opened his eyes again, the sky outside had completely dimmed.
"Sure enough, once you start practicing, time is nothing at all."
With a sigh, he felt the hunger in his belly.
Physical cultivation is different from Yuan cultivation. Flesh and blood is the best nourishment for physical cultivation.
Walking out of the courtyard, I found that Wenque was still here.
But compared to the contempt when they first met, Wenque's face now looked a little more awe-inspiring.
Rather than bragging, real strength is more useful.
Chen Bahuang didn't need to say anything, he just followed behind him quietly.
After passing through several courtyards, we arrived at the back hall unknowingly.
I wanted to turn around and leave, but I heard the quarrel coming from inside.
…
In the back hall.
Several members of the Lin family are all gathered here.
Lin Jiasheng was sitting at the top, looking dazed. He hadn't seen her for a few days, and he looked very haggard.
His current position as the head of the Lin family is as fake as it gets.
All the affairs of the Lin family are now under Lin Yan's control, and he can only sit still.
Mrs. Lin was looking at Lin Yan and Lin Chenyu with wide eyes and disbelief.
"How is it worth offending the Gongsun family for the sake of my adopted son-in-law?!"
"Listen to what I have to say. It's better to hand him over obediently. If you say a few nice words, maybe the other party will be willing not to pursue the case any further."
"Chen Yu, as a mother, I am begging you. I remember that Young Master Gongsun likes you very much. Otherwise, please go there in person."
"Yan'er, why didn't you say a word today, but you did speak!"
Mrs. Lin's sharp and mean voice could be heard from several rooms away.
"Without mother, the Gongsun family will be cut off from the Qi Kingdom."
"Our Lin family doesn't only have this road. It's great to find new trade routes."
Lin Yan seemed to be a different person, with a look of determination on his face.
Both inside and outside the words were saying that he wanted to break up with the Gongsun family directly.
You know, ordinary Lin Yan would never say such a thing.
"Yan'er, what did you eat wrong today? How could you say such stupid things?"
If it weren't for the man in front of him, he would look exactly like his son in both body shape and voice.
Mrs. Lin even wondered if Lin Yan had been tricked.
"How can you not deal with the Gongsun family!"
"Our Lin family still has so many adults to worship, and they are all vampires."
"We lack the Qi country's trade routes, and those vampires won't let us lose their support."
"At that time, if it lasts for a year or two at most, it will be eaten up by those people."
Mrs. Lin slumped in the chair, her body was weak, her face was full of despair.
There are countless families like the Lin family in Tai'an City.
The reason why the Lin family can stand out from so many families.
It's because the price paid by the Lin family is enough.
The soldiers responsible for guarding the borders of each vassal state, as well as the big shots above them.
Every month, the Lin family must donate a sufficient amount of spiritual stones to be recognized.
The Gongsun family is responsible for the road from Kang State to Qi State.
Someone in their family is an official in the court and has controlled this passage for many years.
Because Gongsun Ji wanted to pursue Lin Chenyu before, he took the initiative to reduce the share of spiritual stones offered.
Only in this way can the Lin family gain huge rewards on this business road.
They had only arrived at this situation a few years ago.
By opening up a trade route up and down, they spent 70% to 80% of the wealth they had accumulated.
As long as the Lin family is given another ten years, no, five years, their net worth will at least double.
But at this moment, as long as this trade route is cut off, the entire trade route will be cut off.
Mrs. Lin glanced at Lin Chenyu, her eyes full of resentment.
"It's all your fault. If you weren't planning to marry someone, how could this happen?"
"I'll give you one last chance to take your damn son-in-law to Gongsun's house."
"I don't care whether you strip naked and accompany Mr. Gongsun, or kneel down and beg him."
"In short, you must solve the mess you made by yourself!"
"Otherwise I will ask your father to drive you out of our Lin family!"
Lin Chenyu, who had been silent until now, stood up with a look of sadness on his face.
"Did our Lin family rely entirely on such despicable means to get started?"
"Something happened and asked people to kneel down. Were those previous trade routes also relied on these methods?"
"Then what kind of business does our Lin family have? Can't we just go directly to someone's house and kneel down?"
Lin Chenyu's sudden words immediately stunned several people present.
In their impression, Lin Chenyu had always been a hard-working person who did whatever they asked him to do.
I have never tried it before and was scolded so bloody by Lin Chenyu in front of her face.
Mrs. Lin's eyes widened and she was about to step forward and slap Lin Chenyu.
But a strong big hand had already stretched out to stop her.
"So this is how your Lin family gets rich. It's really despicable."
"Is it possible that Mrs. Lin asked for those trade routes before?"
Chen Bahuang's sarcastic words made Mrs. Lin's face turn livid.
Mrs. Lin wanted to use force, but the big hand that grabbed her wrist seemed to be made of steel.
"What are you all doing? Come up and help me!"
Lin Jiasheng has long been a toothless tiger. At this moment, he just glanced at him and felt sorry for himself.
As for Lin Yan, he was still controlled by the Gu.
And even if he was not controlled, Lin Yan would not come to Chen Bahuang to fight for his life, he would just pretend that he could not see him.
Lin Chenyu looked at Mrs. Lin seriously.
"In addition to taking off clothes and kneeling, there are many other normal methods we can use."
"Since I was the one who caused this matter, I will find a way to solve the loss of this trade route."
Lin Chenyu is back this time.
I don’t want to go back to the life I had before.
But I want to get back everything that belongs to me.
The first is the Lin family!
Lin Chenyu must rely on his own strength to truly control the Lin family, instead of becoming a young lady with no rights.
"Don't worry, I will support you too!"
Chen Bahuang smiled at Lin Chenyu and winked.
This somewhat frivolous action made Lin Chenyu stunned for a moment. When he reacted, his face was filled with shyness.
If it were anyone else making such an expression on herself, she would definitely feel disgusted.
But unknown to him, seeing Chen Bahuang raising his eyebrows at him, Lin Chenyu didn't feel the slightest bit disgusted.
"By the way, can I ask first, is there anywhere to eat here?"
"I've been hungry all day, and I don't want to keep staring at you here."
