Chapter 655 Simple and unpretentious

The Hidden Family has always been aloof. When had Wang Tianyuan been treated like this?

The three of them had met in advance under the leadership of Wang Tianyuan before coming to Lin's house.

A core member of the clan died, and a younger brother also died.

How could Wang Tianyuan just give up?

Wang Tianyuan was not sure about dealing with Lin Shi, so he wanted to try if he could win over the other two major families as allies.

However, it is impossible for a cunning fox like Li Hengli to do such a high-risk, low-reward thing.

"Young people always have a certain temper and character, but they are different from us old bones."

Li Hengli said with a smile.

Chen Tianqiong didn't have any unnecessary expressions, and his expression was gentler:

"I think the new head of the family has a pretty good temper. According to the Chinese saying, oh, yes, simple and unpretentious. Very good, very good."

"snort!"

Seeing that these two people were not on his side, Wang Tianyuan could only express his dissatisfaction with a cold snort.

Outside the gate.

A group of soldiers surrounded Lin Honglong and stood outside the gate.

Before anyone could reach the door, Lin Shi and Qi Qiuyue had already walked out.

"Commander Lin, right? I am the head of the Lin family, Lin Shi."

Lin Shi stepped forward and spoke first.

Lin Honglong's eyes widened.

This time, I received an invitation from a hidden family in the country to participate in the succession ceremony of the head of the family.

This is something that no official official has ever thought of.

The existence of the hidden family has a long history and is mysterious and unusual.

It's not like the officials haven't thought about contacting these reclusive families, but every time they encounter either hard nails or soft nails.

This time, I actually got an active invitation from the Hidden Family. The officials felt somewhat flattered, but had to treat it with caution.

It is necessary to show that the official attaches great importance to this contact.

You also need to demonstrate your strength to a certain extent and not be looked down upon or belittled by people from the hidden family.

Therefore, after careful consideration, he sent Lin Honglong here.

But Lin Honglong really didn't expect that the rumored leader of a reclusive family who had always been reclusive but had a profound influence on the Xia Kingdom would be such a young man.

But he was not surprised for long. He quickly put on a smile and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Lin Shi:

"Sure enough, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. The master of the Lin family is like a dragon or a phoenix!"

"Commander Lin, please come in."

"Okay, okay. You guys will go in with me, and the others will stay outside."

Lin Honglong ordered a few people.

These people are strong and tall, with resolute looks on their faces, and it's obvious at first glance that they have extraordinary skills.

Lin Shi's eyes fell on the bulging bags on the waists of several people.

"Children like me are used to carrying guns on weekdays. If the head of the Lin family minds, can I ask them to remove their guns?"

If Lin Shi disagreed, Lin Honglong would ask several people to unload their guns immediately.

Lin Shi just smiled slightly and said:

"Please feel free to do so."

He didn't expect Lin Shi to be so easy to talk to, and Lin Honglong couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

He is worthy of being the patriarch of a hidden family, with such magnanimity at such a young age.

"Please come in."

"please."

Lin Honglong's people handed carefully prepared gifts to the people at the door, and then the group entered the auditorium.

The auditorium is divided into an inner hall and an outer hall.

The inner hall is the direct descendant of the four major families and the head of the family.

The descendants of the outer hall, some people from other factions, and some people who had business dealings with the former Qi family also arrived.

Most of them are descendants of the Qi family who travel around the world.

There were a large number of people, and many of them looked familiar or even familiar, and there were even people who had cooperated with the authorities.

When Lin Honglong followed Lin Shi into the inner hall of the auditorium, he saw the people sitting in the outer hall getting up and greeting Lin Shi and Qi Qiuyue. He was secretly shocked again by the strength of the Hidden World Family.

When we entered the inner hall of the auditorium, it was much deserted.

But Lin Honglong knew that the people here were the ones he needed to treat with caution this time.

Qi Qiuyue took Lin Honglong and sat down.

Then the succession ceremony begins.

The set of rituals was very similar to the ancient throne passing ceremony. Lin Shi patiently followed Qi Qiuyue through the entire process.

Only then did Lin Honglong realize that it was the former head of the Qi family who was in his prime, who had passed on the title of head of the family to Lin Shi.

And changed the family name to "Lin".

Lin Honglong glanced at Qi Qiuyue, who was still very young, and then at Lin Shi.

How capable is this young man to take over the position of head of the family from a strong man?

After officially announcing that Lin Shi became the head of the Lin family, Lin Shi also announced that Lin Rongxuan, Lin Mingzhen, and Lin Siyuan would all be direct descendants of the Lin family from now on.

Lin Shi did not ask other Qi family members to change their surnames. After all, the Qi family had a small number of direct descendants due to Qi Wanshan's fertility issues.

The only remaining direct descendants are his uncle Qi Qiuyue, his cousin Qi Yun, and Qi Qiu Heng.

As for Qi Qiu Heng, he was already a dead man in Lin Shi's eyes.

After the ceremony was completed, it was natural to drink.

With Lin Shi's physique, he could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.

After three drinks, Wang Tianyuan spoke.

"I wonder how the Lin family plans to develop the future direction of the Lin family? He actually invited Commander Lin this time. He must have some plans, right?"

Wang Tianyuan really wanted to drive a wedge between Lin Shi and the other two major families. He wished that Lin Shi would get closer to the official people and cause dissatisfaction with the other two major families.

Now that Wang Tianyuan said it, Lin Shi happened to follow Wang Tianyuan's words and tell his next plan.

"Indeed, I really have to cooperate with the authorities next."

Lin Honglong perked up.

Li Hengli frowned.

He thought that because of Lin Shi's youthful nature, calling the official people here was just a matter of vanity and he wanted to show off his glory as the head of a reclusive family.

The hidden family has had many overt and covert battles with the government for thousands of years.

Therefore, I have always disapproved of cooperating with the government, acting in a low profile, and developing in silence.

"There is something I want to tell everyone here."

Lin Shi stood up.

"Ten thousand years ago, during the Ice Age, the origin beasts were rampant. I believe everyone here who knows the history of the Hidden World family knows it."

Wang Tianyuan said:

"This kind of thing is a secret of our family. How can the Lin family say it in front of outsiders?"

"Listen to what I have to say first."

Lin Shi glanced at Wang Tianyuan.

This glance made Wang Tianyuan feel the power of a superior person who far surpassed himself.

Wang Tianyuan immediately fell silent.
