Chapter 15 Family Force
Lin Mansion, conference hall.
All the senior officials of Lin Mansion gathered here, and the atmosphere seemed very dull.
Over the years, Lin Mu's performance has indeed been disappointing, but the identity of a direct descendant involves the foundation of the Lin family and the inheritance of the family. It cannot be said that it can be banned by banning it.
Even if Lin Zheng now controls the power of the Lin Mansion, he cannot make decisions privately and must hold meetings to make decisions, otherwise he will definitely encounter opposition from the elders.
"Lin Mu is here." Suddenly, a voice broke the stagnant atmosphere. Everyone in the hall had different expressions and looked outside the door.
The speaker was Lin Anfu, the chief steward of the Lin Mansion, and next to Lin Anfu, the subject of their discussion, Lin Mu, stood expressionless.
"Hey, Lin Mu, do you know why I called you?"
At the head of the table, a middle-aged man with slightly dark complexion and a calm self-esteem, sighed.
"I don't know what I'm here for." Lin Mu looked at him indifferently.
My second uncle is really good at pretending that he was the one who called and initiated what happened today, yet he just makes such a compassionate look. People who don't know are really deceived by him.
"Presumptuous, what's your attitude? Hall Master Lin is not only the current head of the Lin family, but also your second uncle. Have you ever spoken to an elder like this?"
There was no need for Lin Zheng to get angry. Soon, an elder slammed the table and yelled at Lin Mu.
Lin Zheng is the head of the Wuying Hall of the Lin Mansion.
Wuyingtang is the most important organization of the family, and can promote and dispatch all warriors belonging to the family.
This position has always been held by the heir to the clan leader. It was previously held by Lin Nan, but after Lin Nan disappeared, this position fell into the hands of Lin Zheng.
"I think you are the one who is arrogant. Although my grandfather has been in seclusion for many years, when did the second uncle become the head of the family?"
Lin Mu's eyes were cold. This was the fourth elder of the family. He was said to be an elder, but in fact he was Lin Zheng's lackey.
"Little beast."
The fourth elder did not expect that he would be caught by Lin Mu when he failed to check. What was even more unexpected was that Lin Mu would dare to talk back. He became angry and said: "Palace Master Lin, elders, how can you treat such a disrespectful and unteachable little beast?" , I think there’s no need to discuss it anymore, just ban him as a direct descendant.”
"Call me a little beast?" Lin Mu looked sarcastic, "If I am a little beast, then who are my grandfather and all the elders of the Lin family here? Hehe, everyone, I think this old dog must have been bribed by the enemy. Otherwise, how could I have done such a heartbreaking insult to my Lin family?"
"You..." The fourth elder's face turned red and he almost spurted blood.
"Okay, Lin Mu, what's the use of learning all the tricks? No wonder your cultivation never improves."
Lin Zheng waved his hand and did not let Lin Mu continue talking, otherwise the carefully created atmosphere would be completely destroyed.
As he said that, he paused and his voice turned low, "My Lin family has been inherited for many years, and all the direct descendants are the core. I shouldn't have held this meeting. But you are so unsatisfactory. You have wasted time and wasted all these years. It’s just a matter of resources for cultivation, so I turned a blind eye and always endured.”
"How could I have expected that your blind indulgence would lead to your deeper depravity. In the assessment of Lingfeng Academy, you actually resorted to sneak attacks with poison, which completely disgraced the face of my Lin family. A family wants to continue. , after all, I have to talk about fairness and integrity, and if you continue to be a direct descendant of my Lin family, my Lin family will only become the laughing stock of Xichuan City."
"As a human being, you must be grateful. The family has trained you for more than ten years, and you have been completely benevolent. Please hand over the land deed in your hand as soon as possible." The fourth elder and other senior officials immediately pressed.
The direct descendants of the Lin family are not just names. Each direct descendant has a certain share of land deeds in their hands. Lin Mu's land deed was left by Lin Nan, and it was definitely a huge property.
Although the properties on these land deeds have been controlled by Lin Zheng and his income has been cut off, as long as he does not obtain the land deeds, Lin Zheng will never be able to legitimately own these properties.
"Haha, you've been rambling here for a long time. It's just because of my land deed and what you said in such a high-sounding way."
Lin Mu laughed mockingly and looked at the elders coldly, "In fact, if you didn't have these land deeds in your hands, you wouldn't even bother to discuss it and just ban my identity, right?"
"It's a bit much."
A powerful warrior pressure suddenly poured out from Lin Zheng's body, pressing hard on Lin Mu.
The pressure of a warrior comes from the spiritual power in the body and the resonance with the surrounding environment. Lin is a seventh-level warrior, and even the peak warriors may not be able to withstand his pressure.
Suddenly, many elders looked at Lin Mu as if they were watching a show.
"What? The theory is untenable, so you plan to force it?"
Lin Muyi was not afraid. He might have suffered a big loss before, but now that his soul was fused with the teacher's spiritual fragments, he was not afraid of the pressure of a warrior.
"Um?"
Lin Zheng's eyes flashed with a faint cold light, and he was filled with doubts, "These days, there have been rumors that this little evil obstacle has improved in strength and defeated Lin Zhaojun. I still don't believe it. Now it seems that it is really possible. Is this possible? Has Xiao Nizhang’s bloodline awakened?”
In Lingwu Continent, in addition to martial arts qualifications, there are also bloodline talents. People with martial arts bloodlines, even if their martial arts qualifications are poor, can often become wizards in a certain martial arts field.
Lin Mu's father, Lin Nan, had Cang Yan bloodline, so he was able to surpass the two eldest brothers in front of him and become the young clan leader. As Lin Mu's son, there was no guarantee that he would inherit Lin Nan's bloodline.
Because of this, even though Lin Mu's performance over the years was useless, he still never stopped suppressing Lin Mu. It was due to this fear.
"If that's really the case, this little evil obstacle can't be left behind."
Lin Zheng had murderous intent in his heart, but on the outside he became more and more calm, and said coldly: "If you want to be reasonable, then I will reason with you."
"I won't go into details about your past performance. In this Lingfeng Academy assessment, you used poison on people in public, which made Lingfeng Academy angry. I'm afraid my Lin family will also be affected. You made such a big mistake. Do you still have the nerve to speak?"
"It's ridiculous. There is no precise investigation. Just because Gao Jianfeng said that I poisoned you, you are so arbitrary?" Lin Mu's eyes were cold, "It's just Lingfeng Academy. We are outsiders after all, but as for you, all of you are mine." Are the nominal elders the same as outsiders? Is this how you protect your juniors?"
"If it were anyone else, we wouldn't think so, but you are a good-for-nothing, no matter what you do, it won't be surprising."
The fourth elder sneered.
"Good-for-nothing? Is this the reason why you convicted me?" Although Lin Mu had already given up hope on these people, he still felt cold after hearing such words.
"We are not condemning you, we just feel that your words and deeds are not worthy of being a direct descendant."
"As long as you hand over the land deed, you will still be a descendant of the Lin family in the future. If you know how to make progress in the future, you will still have a chance to become a direct descendant again."
Most of the elders expressed their support.
Only the seventh elder said calmly, "Isn't this too hasty?"
Are these people really my elders?
Lin Mu looked at Lin Zheng and others and said no more.
