"Starting from the north of Shenxiu Mountain, and passing through these three former royal court sites, you will arrive at the Xingji Snowfield. There will be no geographical landmarks after that. If you want to reach the Hengduan Mountains where my Sword Sect is located, you need to..."
In the palace of the Great Sun Sect, everyone stood in front of an unfolded map. While He Qiuyang was talking, he slowly passed over the locations marked with names with his fingers.
He gave a lot of details, and finally persuaded Mu Qing who was standing aside: "Are you really not going to go with me? The Xingjie Snowfield is even more unpredictable than the environment in the Northern Wilderness. Even if I point out the route now, you still can't. It’s easy to get lost.”
Three days have passed. He Qiuyang carefully taught the method of forging a set of flying swords. Zhong Ling'er also successfully completed the sacrifice of the set of three-foot swords. It was time to leave with satisfaction.
Mu Qing looked away from Shenxiu Mountain on the map and said, "The elder still has to stay in the Lin family for a while, right?"
He Qiuyang looked at the area where Shenxiu Mountain belonged to on the map and realized at this moment, "I heard that the misunderstanding between you and the Lin family has been resolved. It seems that this is not the case?"
Mu Qing forced a smile: "Although the misunderstanding has been resolved, if we really go with the elders, the Lin family will not feel comfortable, and we will not feel comfortable either."
He Qiuyang nodded and said, "I didn't think twice about it. I'll give this map to you. When you get to the Xingjie Snowfield, you can directly activate the sword jade I gave you. The Sword Sect will send someone to respond as soon as possible."
Mu Qing thanked him with his fists, and continued to move up the map to the northern border of the Mugung Dynasty. "The elder is going west because he wants to invite the Lin family. If we go directly north, is it feasible?"
He Qiuyang said quickly: "No! There is a soul-cold abyss between the Xingjie Snowfield and the Northern Wilderness Ancient Battlefield. Unless it is absolutely necessary, even I, the elder of the Sword Sect, will not choose to take such a shortcut."
Before leaving, He Qiuyang comforted: "Don't worry, I will explain it clearly to the Lin family leader when I get to Xishan Realm. You are just passing by and don't have to deal with them."
He Qiuyang set off in the morning on the sword boat presented by Zhong Ling'er, and arrived at the Shenglong Mountains in the Western Mountains in the evening.
As soon as he arrived here, he faintly sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere, because there were many figures with strong auras in the same direction as him. If he really welcomed the distinguished guests, it would definitely not be him.
He looked at the people accompanying him and asked, "Master Lin, is he waiting for me in front?"
"Elder He, just call me Lin Feng." Lin Feng explained softly: "The head of the family is Xiang Qingfeng in front."
Lin Feng saw that He Qiuyang looked quite wary and tried to calm down the atmosphere, "Is Elder He from Suzaku City?"
He Qiuyang paused, and his consciousness had already communicated with the sword box.
Seeing that he looked like he was facing a formidable enemy, Lin Feng quickly explained: "Elder He misunderstood. I have a good relationship with that City Master Mu, otherwise the family master would not have sent me to greet you."
"...Then what's going on?"
He Qiuyang looked at the figures rushing forward one after another, still refusing to let down his guard.
Lin Feng explained: "Xiang Qingfeng is the place where the Lin family decides on important matters. Elder He came at a very good time. The head of the family issued the Xishan Order three days ago, inviting all the sect leaders of the first-class forces in the Xishan Realm to be present."
He Qiuyang: "...Then I'd better go see the Lin family leader later."
"It doesn't matter." Lin Feng said with a smile: "It won't take long for the news announced by the family leader to be spread, and Elder He will be a witness on behalf of the Wuji Sword Sect."
He Qiuyang was warmly invited into a spacious hall on Xiangqing Peak. He was sitting in front of Lin Feng and other elders at the peak of mortal transformation. He felt quite uncomfortable sitting there.
When Lin Langtian, who had a strong aura, saw him coming, he smiled kindly and said, "It's a pity that my Lin family doesn't have a swordsman genius, otherwise we should have more contacts with the Sword Sect."
Just as He Qiuyang was about to reply, the smile on Lin Langtian's face, who had been quite polite just now, had completely disappeared. The group of people slowly walked from the entrance to the front of the hall, and the discussion in the hall completely disappeared.
He Qiuyang glanced at it, quickly stood up and saluted the leader: "Sword Sect He Qiuyang has met Master He Chen."
There was a hint of gloom in Lin Tonghe's eyebrows. When he heard the voice greeting him, his eyes couldn't help but move. He nodded to He Qiuyang and looked at Lin Langtian with a look like
Inquiring.
Lin Langtian shook his head and said, "Elder He invited the Lin family to attend the sword trial meeting, not me specifically."
Lin Tonghe's expression softened slightly and he apologized to He Qiuyang: "I made Elder He laugh."
He Qiuyang's face was blank. He didn't know what was so funny. He was slightly more wary of writing down the so-called announcement.
"alright."
As Lin Tong and the Hidden Peak elders took their seats, Lin Langtian stood tall and tall in front of the stage, his eyes slowly swept over the sect leaders and elders with different expressions under the stage, and he said: "In the past three days, all of you have secretly and openly sect. Many people have inquired about the news, but you have already guessed what is going on, right?"
There was discussion in the hall again, and Wu Peng of the Xingsha Sect was the first to speak out: "The head of the Lin family has inherited the position of the head of the Zhengyang Peak. According to past practice, the young master will inherit the position of the head of the family."
"That's right." Lin Langtian nodded and glanced coldly behind Lin Tonghe, "But the position of Young Master that should have been confirmed more than twenty years ago has always been vacant. I know that this matter has been hanging in everyone's minds. , so I plan to completely determine the choice of young master today."
Lin Langtian paused slightly, "Of course, the person who becomes the young master will become the head of the Lin family in the future."
In front of the crowd, He Qiuyang felt the silence in the hall. He felt that the seat under him was a little hot. He was hesitating whether to find a chance to leave. Suddenly, there was a sneer beside him: "Master, why do you need to use your strength to suppress others? You are here today. It’s just that you want to use the power of your recent breakthrough to prevent others from opposing you!”
He Qiuyang looked at the man who stood up to confront Lin Langtian, and saw the fierce look on his face. He glanced at Lin Tonghe, who had his eyes closed and said nothing, and finally understood the meaning of the other man's previous words.
If Lin Tong and the Supreme Elder with the highest status had not spoken, would the Lin family leader really be able to get his wish today?
He Qiuyang thought with a frown.
Lin Langtian on the stage didn't even look at Lin Gang, his eyes swept over Lin Tonghe and looked at everyone, "Since I have invited you all to be present, I will not do anything stupid. Master Hechen is here, everyone. You can speak freely."
Finally, he added: "You only get one chance."
The atmosphere in the hall was depressing. Lin Gang stood up and threatened several people with his eyes. Finally, one person asked: "We all know that the Lin family leader brought back an extremely young woman from Jinguan City. The Western Mountain Realm is still not sure. She was the eldest lady of the Lin family at that time, does the head of the Lin family really intend to make this person the young master of the Lin family?"
There was discussion in the hall.
This man's questioning was extremely methodical, and even those forces that had been supporting Lin Langtian were hesitant.
Someone next to him had even more vicious thoughts, and said with these words: "She just comes from a merchant's family, and her father is just an incompetent merchant. Will Miss Youwei really look at this person? Please distinguish carefully and don't let some people take advantage of her." Got a loophole."
Lin Langtian just looked at the person who spoke next calmly. In fact, he quite agreed with some of the other person's words. However, this person was the first to be unable to withstand his gaze, and his voice became weaker and weaker: "Even if she is really Miss Youwei's flesh and blood. , but she is too young and of low level, and... her surname is Liu, not Lin..."
Lin Gang was waiting for someone to reveal this information. He sneered and said, "I do believe this child is Youwei's daughter, but after the family owner brought her back, did she ever take my Lin family's surname?"
"We all know that the position of head of the family not only means rights, but also great responsibilities. If she changes her last name today, then I can't help but ask whether she really wants to take on this responsibility for our Lin family, or is she just coveting the benefits of this position? All kinds of rights?"
Lin Tonghe, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at Lin Gang, who quickly stopped talking.
Only then did he raise his head and look at Lin Langtian, his eyes somewhat proud and provocative.
He knew that Lin Tonghe was actually willing to compromise, but only if Liu Weirui had to change her surname. But now that this possibility had been blocked by him in advance, if Lin Langtian persisted in going his own way, it would only make the elders who supported him also start to fall silent.
Although he failed miserably before, he won today!
Lin Langtian looked at Lin Tonghe and asked, "Master He Chen also has similar thoughts.
? "
"Eh..." Lin Tonghe sighed softly and said slowly: "I only hope that the head of the family after you will be half as capable as you and really care about the Lin family."
"I understand." Lin Langtian nodded seriously.
He turned to look at the other people in the audience. Wu Peng from Xingsha Sect was a little anxious and wanted to support him, but he stopped him.
Lin Langtian said: "You can come out now."
As Lin Langtian finished speaking, Ling Qingzhu emerged from the back of the hall and walked towards the stage. The young woman following behind her was the focus of everyone's discussion - Liu Weirui.
"Ah."
Lin Gang chuckled lightly and glanced at Lin Mingda, who was silent next to him. The other party had been worried about whether Lin Langtian had a back-up plan before, but now it seemed that Lin Mingda was just making excuses for retreating.
At this moment, even Lin Mingda's expression softened a lot, feeling that Lin Langtian was too confident because of his increased strength.
"Huh? Who is this person?"
Behind Liu Weirui are four people from the Ling family. These people are all familiar faces. Many eyes in the hall are looking behind the four people. Behind Ling Xuesong, there is another person walking with a sword. Elegant figure.
When everyone looked at him unscrupulously, the smile on his face never disappeared.
When Lin Langtian saw this scene on the stage, he rolled his eyes and did not look at the guy who had made him upset. He said, "I did intend to make Wei Rui the young master of my Lin family."
"But she really doesn't want to change her last name."
The atmosphere in the hall changed again because of Lin Langtian's two words. Lin Gang frowned and looked at Ling Qingzhu and his group with a little smile on their faces. He finally realized that something was wrong and was about to send a message to Lin Mingda. , his eyes were stunned, staring straight at the back of the team.
"Oh——"
Suddenly there was a soft cry from the crowd.
Behind the strange sword-wielding man, there was actually another person. After seeing this person's appearance, many elders of the Lin family stood up in unison, their voices full of surprise: "Miss?"
"Is it the eldest lady?!"
He Qiuyang, who had no intention of getting involved in this turmoil, also stood up, looked at the woman who had attracted everyone's attention, and subconsciously asked: "Is this Miss Liu?"
"No!"
He Qiuyang turned to look at the stage.
Lin Langtian was looking at him, regaining his friendly smile not long ago, "Elder He, she is my daughter, Lin Youwei."
