"It turns out that this old guy wanted to reserve a place for his son. No wonder he refused to nod before..."
Hearing this, Fei Ren on the side also understood something.
Since the Lin family ranks last among the three major families in Black Rock City and has performed poorly in previous Tianyuan Pool competitions, the Lin family has very few baptism quotas in the Tianyuan Pool, only two.
In terms of strength and status, Lin Shuai, the young leader of the Lin family, will definitely occupy a spot. If the other spot is given to him, it will naturally not be Lin Fen's son Lin Qiushui's turn, so the other party will block it.
However, in the Lin family, Lin Jinnan, the head of the family, has the final say. No matter how dissatisfied Lin Fen is, he can only swallow it silently.
"Brother...I..."
Just as Fei Ren was thinking, when faced with Lin Jinnan's rhetorical question, Lin Fen's face sank, and then he stopped talking, as if someone had hit home.
"No need to say any more, this matter has been settled, you all should step aside."
"Second brother, you have to remember that the interests of the family come first..."
Lin Jinnan flicked his sleeves and robe, and the next moment he glanced at Lin Fen next to him again, his tone was meaningful, he didn't know what Xiao Jiujiu was thinking about the other person.
"yes!"
After saying this, Lin Fen knew that there was no hope anymore, his face became gloomy, and then he turned and left the hall.
As the other party's younger brother, he knew Lin Jinnan's temper very well. Lin Jinnan had always been a strong character who always said the same thing. Once he said something, it was difficult to change his words. Moreover, there were many elders of the Lin family branch present. In order to take into account the majesty of the family head, he also It's not good to contradict Lin Jinnan directly.
Although Lin Fen is the current eldest elder of the Lin family and is also a master of the martial arts realm, his cultivation strength is several levels behind Lin Jinnan. He can barely reach the second level of the martial arts realm. On the other hand, his opponent is immersed in the third level of the martial arts realm. After many years, he was only one step away from breaking through to the fourth level of the martial arts realm.
"The head of the family knows it clearly!"
Seeing Lin Fen leaving angrily, all the elders of the Lin family branch in the hall also looked at each other. The next moment they all bowed their hands in respect, and then left one after another.
"Father, have you broken through to the fourth level of the martial arts realm?!"
Just after Lin Fen and the elders of the Lin family branch left, Lin Shuai stepped forward and couldn't help but say.
The other party is not only the head of the Lin family, but also the current pillar of the Lin family, supporting the Lin family, an eighth-grade family. If Lin Jinnan falls, Lin Fen, the second-level martial arts elder, will not be able to make a comeback, nor can he save the Lin family's status as a black man. The status of the three major families in Iwa City.
Therefore, the outcome of Lin Jinnan's exit is crucial!
"Xiao Shuai, my father has let you down..."
However, what surprised Lin Shuai was that Lin Jinnan, who originally looked majestic, shook his head, and then said, with a rare trace of bitterness on his face.
"Breakthrough failed!"
Seeing this scene, Lin Shuai looked slightly stunned, and he did not recover from his confusion for a long time.
A warrior's breakthrough is not always smooth sailing. Once the breakthrough fails, the Yuan Power that has finally been condensed in the Dantian will dissipate, and one can only wait for the next time the Yuan Power condenses to overflow. This not only requires an opportunity, but also requires time.
And as a warrior, after reaching Lin Jinnan's age, every breakthrough is a test. If you are not careful, you will lose everything!
Therefore, after knowing that Lin Jinnan failed to break through, Lin Shuai's face showed deep disappointment. He knew very well that Lin Jinnan had failed to break through this time. When he next retreats to break through to the fourth level of the martial arts realm, no matter how fast it is, he will need to Several years have passed.
However, the Lin family cannot afford to wait any longer!
"Master Lin, what conditions did you agree to before?"
At this time, Fei Ren, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up and said that he didn't care whether Lin Jinnan's breakthrough was successful or not. He just wanted to get a baptism spot in Tianyuan Pool, and everything else was trivial.
"Little friend Fei Ren laughed, it's natural."
After coming back to his senses, Lin Jinnan also calmed down his expression, and then nodded. He was too involved before, and he forgot about Fei Ren beside him.
Although his breakthrough failed, as long as Fei Ren can replace the Lin family and achieve good results in the Tianyuan Pool competition three months later, the Lin family will also have a chance to turn things around.
Moreover, once the Lin family can achieve good results in the Tianyuan Pool competition, the Lin family will also be able to obtain more baptism places.
Therefore, giving Fei Ren a place in front of him was also a big gamble by Lin Jinnan. If the bet was successful, the Lin family would have a chance to turn around, but if the bet was unsuccessful, the Lin family would fall into the abyss.
"Xiao Shuai, although my father's breakthrough failed, there is still no chance of a comeback. With the help of little friend Fei Ren, we may not be able to defeat the Cao and Liu families in the Tianyuan Pool competition three months later.
"To be honest, except for the girl named Cao Ling from the Cao family, the other geniuses from the two major families can only be so-so, even Liu Xuanyu, so you have to practice diligently during this period and don't slack off."
Looking at Lin Shuai on the side again, Lin Jinnan also spoke in a solemn tone.
Compared to others, Lin Shuai was his eldest son and the young master of the Lin family, so he naturally received a lot of attention and care from him. Moreover, even with Lin Shuai's strength, he would not be able to break out of the siege, let alone the other children of the Lin family.
"My child understands!"
Faced with Lin Jinnan's instructions, Lin Shuai also looked solemn, and then nodded slightly.
The results of the Tianyuan Pool competition are related to the distribution of interests among the three major families in Black Rock City. Among them, the top-ranked family can get four places, followed by three places, and the bottom-ranked family can only get two places.
In the previous Tianyuan Pool competitions, the three major families in Black Rock City are not much different in terms of their background strength. There are endless talents among the younger generations, and the competition rankings are also quite volatile. No matter the Lin family, the Liu family or the Cao family have won the first place, they can be called the three families. Fight for hegemony.
However, in the Tianyuan Pool competition in recent years, the Lin family has gradually weakened and fallen to the bottom, while the Cao family has gradually risen and has dominated the Tianyuan Pool competition for many years. As for the Liu family, it has become an ally of the Cao family. The two worked together to suppress the Lin family.
Therefore, the situation of the Lin family is becoming more and more difficult. After the last competition in Tianyuan Pool, the Cao and Liu families announced that if the Lin family still ranks at the bottom in the next competition in Tianyuan Pool, they will voluntarily withdraw from the ranks of the three major families in Black Rock City.
Due to external pressure, Lin Jinnan, the head of the Lin family, could only grit his teeth and accept this agreement. After all, the Cao and Liu families each had many martial arts masters. If he did not accept this agreement, it would inevitably lead to a joint siege by the Cao and Liu families. When the time comes, under the flash of swords and rain of blood, the Lin family's vitality will also be severely damaged.
"Master Lin, take people's money and eliminate disasters for them."'
"I will definitely do my best to help the Lin family retain their seats among the three major families in Black Rock City..."
On the side, Fei Ren also spoke with a calm expression.
He had his own idea in his mind. If he could help the Lin family keep their seats among the three major families in Black Rock City, in addition to the baptism quota in Tianyuan Pond, he might also be able to get some additional rewards from the Lin family.
Such a good thing cannot be missed.
