"Where is the Great Elder now?"
Clenching his fists, Lin Shuai asked again.
There are currently two martial arts masters in the Lin family. In addition to Lin Jinnan, the head of the Lin family, the other one is the eldest elder Lin Fen. Lin Fen is Lin Jinnan's younger brother. He is second only to him in terms of qualifications and strength. Therefore, under Lin Jinnan During the retreat, there is nothing wrong with letting the other party take control of the Lin family's affairs.
His father, Lin Jinnan, was at the third level of the martial arts realm and was only one step away from breaking through to the fourth level of the martial arts realm.
However, for warriors, the realm bottleneck is like a ravine in front of them. It is not that simple to break through. Even masters like Lin Jinnan have been stuck at the third level of martial arts realm for decades, and they have always been Not even half a step closer!
"Why did my father suddenly want to retreat? Could it be because of the recent family affairs and the competition in Tianyuan Pool three months later..."
Thinking of this, Lin Shuai couldn't help but frown slightly.
After all, not everyone is like Fei Ren. The Dantian in his body is fused with the immortal treasure of the Immortal Refining Cauldron. Most warriors have bottlenecks when they break through. Once they fail to break through, all their previous efforts will be wasted, or at worst, they will go crazy and die violently. Therefore, He was also very worried about Lin Jinnan's breakthrough in seclusion.
"The great elder is currently in the family hall. In addition to the great elder, some family branch elders are also there to discuss matters."
After bowing his hands in respect again, the young guard also spoke.
"Qin Gang, you take the brothers to unload all the goods to the family warehouse first. I'll go see the elder and the others." Hearing this, Lin Shuai also told Qin Gang and others on the side, and at the same time looked at Fei Ren again. .
"Brother Fei Ren, thanks to your help this time, our Lin family will be deeply grateful! Please also go to the family hall with me."
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."
Nodding, Fei Ren immediately acquiesced, naturally he would be paid for helping. After all, he is also a person who puts interests first.
.....
At this time, the Lin family, in the family hall
"Great Elder, what should we do? The master of the house has been in seclusion for three days, and there is no movement at all. Could it be that the breakthrough failed?" A middle-aged man with a thin face said, and at the same time he looked up at the hall. There was an old man with gray hair in the middle, his tone was a little anxious.
The middle-aged man in front of him is a branch elder within the Lin family. Although his status is not as good as Lin Fen, the eldest elder of the Lin family, his Yuanli cultivation has reached the tenth level of the high star realm, and he is on par with Lin Shuai, the young master of the Lin family. .
"Nonsense! The master of the family is one of the veteran masters of Black Rock City. His cultivation has reached the third level of martial arts master. How can something happen so easily?"
"In my opinion, we should just wait patiently. At least before the next Tianyuan Pool competition starts, the master of the family will definitely come out."
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, another elder of the Lin family branch retorted with disdain, as if he thought the other party was making a fuss and was too unfounded.
"It seems to make sense..."
"Although the Cao family and the Liu family are not good birds, and they target our Lin family everywhere, as long as the head of the family and the eldest elder, they can't cause any trouble."
At this time, the Lin family elders in the family hall were also talking about it. They were all the elite backbones of the Lin family, and their strength was at least the eighth level of the high star realm. Apart from Lin Jinnan and Lin Fen, these people were also considered to be the top combat power of the Lin family today. .
"Okay, don't discuss these meaningless things. The head of the family is currently in seclusion. We have to find a way to retain the title of the Lin family as the three major families in Black Rock City, and at the same time, we have to compete in the Tianyuan Pool competition three months later. Achieve great results and everything else is trivial..."
"I didn't come here to talk to you elders of the Lin family branch just to talk nonsense..."
With a slight drink, the white-haired old man in the middle of the hall also spoke with a serious tone, interrupting everyone's discussion.
I saw the hawk-like eyes of the old man with white hair, and a pair of turbid pupils exuding sharp gazes. Although his body was slightly stooped, he exuded a powerful aura of Yuanli from all over his body. There was an invisible aura vaguely revealed in his movements, obviously. He is also a strong and ruthless man.
"Great Elder!"
Seeing the white-haired old man speaking, everyone in the hall also kept silent, as if they were a little afraid of the other party's majesty.
"Great Elder, I'm back."
At this moment, a man's voice with a clear tone came from the air. The next moment, Lin Shuai and Fei Ren stepped into the hall, looking directly at the white-haired old man in the middle of the hall. The other person was the current head of the Lin family. Elder Lin Fen!
"The young master is back..."
"Fortunately, young master, the trip was safe. I heard that the sand bandits in the Qatar desert have become increasingly rampant recently. I don't know what happened..."
"Hey, who is this kid?"
Seeing Lin Shuai's safe return, all the elders of the Lin family branch in the hall also spoke out one after another. The eyes of several of the elders fell on the unfamiliar-looking Fei Ren beside them, with doubtful eyes.
"Shuai Lin, thank you for your hard work. Those goods that were brought back...?"
Glancing at Lin Shuai in front of him, Lin Fen also smiled. Although he was the great elder, he was still the son of Lin Jinnan and the current young master of the Lin family, so he couldn't show off any authority.
"All the goods have been transported back to the family, but we were attacked by bandits in Heiyun Village on the way. We suffered heavy manpower losses, and the guard captain Qin Gang also suffered some injuries."
"If it weren't for brother Fei Ren's help, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to come back..."
Faced with Lin Fen's inquiry, Lin Shuai nodded immediately, and at the same time turned to look at Fei Ren, his tone full of emotion.
"Heiyun Village was attacked by bandits?"
"These guys are so brave, they dare to bully our Lin family!"
"We must teach these bandits a lesson!"
After the words fell, all the elders of the Lin family branch also looked slightly stunned, and then became furious.
After all, the Lin family is also a dignified eighth-grade family, one of the three major families in Black Rock City. There are two masters of the martial arts realm in the family. How can they tolerate a mere sand bandit causing trouble and causing trouble in the Lin family's head?
"alright!"
"Brother Fei Ren, I am Lin Fen, the eldest elder of the Lin family. This time I would like to thank you very much on behalf of the Lin family..."
Hearing this, Lin Fen also waved his hand to stop the discussion of many elders in the hall. At the same time, his eyes fell on Fei Ren aside, and a strange color flashed across his cloudy pupils, which was unpredictable.
"You're welcome, Great Elder, but it's just a trivial matter..."
After cupping his hands, Fei Ren looked calm. He was tired of hearing polite words. Only the benefits he got were real. If the Lin Fen in front of him could only talk, then he would not stay at the Lin family for even a moment.
In order to get a place for baptism in Tianyuan Pool, Fei Ren also thought carefully. If the Lin family in front of him didn't give him face, he didn't mind trying his luck with his enemies Cao family and Liu family.
