Chapter 229 The Lin family seizes power

The meeting hall of the Lin family was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Situ Reading

М

If you were outside, you would definitely think that the hall was empty, but as long as you pushed the door open and entered, you would find that there were more than ten people sitting inside.

The head of the family Lin Tianchou, the eldest elder Lin Fangda, and the eldest daughter Lin Xi were all there. The others were also elders of the side branches who had status and position in the Lin family.

Everyone looked solemn, and the eldest elder Lin Fangda, who was sitting in the middle, had a gloomy face and was faintly angry.

"Lin Xi, how can you easily bring an outsider with unknown origins into the inner courtyard? You are so ignorant, how can you manage my Lin family's business in the future?"

"Grand Elder, I have already asked clearly, his name is Ye Feng, he is a student going to the capital martial arts school, he passed through our Ningwu City and was beaten by his enemies. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, why can't I save him?"

Lin Xi, who was sitting on the bottom, lost his gentle and docile face and said decisively.

"Who knows whether what he said is true or false? Our three great families in Ningwu, the Zhu family and the Leng family, have always been eyeing our Lin family. Only because of my existence can I temporarily suppress them. If they send bad guys to lurk in and plot against me, wouldn't it cause a horrible disaster?"

"Besides, even if this person is not an undercover sent by the Zhu and Leng families, his origin is mysterious, and the person who injured him is unknown. You rashly saved him. What if his opponent is a great master? How can our Lin family afford to provoke him?"

Seeing that Lin Xi actually contradicted him, Lin Fangda was even more furious, and he slapped the back of the mahogany chair and shouted.

This immediately attracted a lot of discussion from others present.

After all, it was not the head of the Lin family, Lin Tianchou, who controlled the power of the Lin family, but the more powerful elder Lin Fangda. After hearing what he said, several elders of the side branches immediately started to chatter.

"Lin Xi, as the heir of the Lin family, you must stand on the side of the Lin family at all times and in all places. How can you do whatever you want?"

"I have said long ago that a hen crowing at dawn is not a good sign. Since the head of the family has no son, it is better to choose a man from other branches of the family as the heir of our Lin family. The girl Lin Xi should be married off early."

"What the steward said is right. In my opinion, Shuishan is a good kid. He has reached the second level of innate cultivation at a young age. His future is limitless. Moreover, he is the grandson of the old head of the family and is also a descendant of our Lin family. Why don't you consider it, the elder?"

"Forget about Shuishan. This person has bad conduct, and after all, his surname is not Lin. If you want to be the head of our Lin family, the surname Lin is a must. I think that the elder's nephew Lin Xiaohao has a good character and can be properly trained."

...

Hearing the mixed opposition in the hall, Lin Tianchou showed a helpless expression on his face and said quietly to Lin Xi: "Little Xi, how can you contradict the elder? Apologize to the elder quickly, and then send Ye Feng out of the house..."

Lin Xi snorted coldly and said, "I did nothing wrong, why should I apologize? Father, you can't be so humiliated anymore. Ye Feng's matter is just an excuse. In fact, these people want to occupy our Lin family's business. If we drive Ye Feng away today, Chen Feng and Li Feng will come out tomorrow. One day, this Lin family will become a Lin family that does not belong to us father and daughter!"

"You are so bold."

"Girl, girls are outgoing, and sooner or later they will be spilled. You are so presumptuous."

Lin Fangda's face became very stern, and he said coldly, "Lin Xi, if you continue to talk nonsense, do not listen to advice, and insist on your own way, I have the right to convene an elders' meeting to expel you from your status as the heir to the head of the family!"

As soon as these words came out, some other deacons and elders showed a cold smile in their eyes, as if they were eager to see this scene happen.

Lin Tianchou was confused and quickly bowed to Lin Fangda and said, "Grand Elder, Xiaoxi is young and ignorant, you must not bother with her, I will make the decision, now..."

"Dad!" Lin Xi interrupted Lin Tianchou decisively, his voice cold and sarcastic, "What does it matter whether you are the head of the Lin family or not? Anyway, it is the Grand Elder who controls everything behind the scenes. It is better not to be a puppet, the head of this family."

Lin Fangda took a deep breath, his eyes seemed to be able to emit flames, and he clenched his fists and said, "Okay, okay, the little girl has grown up and has become strong. She dares to talk to me like this. I decide..."

"Bang!"

At this moment, a loud noise came from the outside, and the closed door of the meeting hall was suddenly smashed open. A huge stone lion that was originally perched on the steps was stuck on the wooden door that flew into the hall.

A figure appeared at the door.

Someone actually smashed the door of the meeting hall with such a big stone lion?

"How dare you!"

"Who is coming to my Lin family to make trouble?"

Everyone stood up in panic and looked at the entrance of the hall.

There, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy stood out. He walked into the hall with a firm step, ignoring the murderous eyes of the Lin family masters in the hall.

"Ye Feng?" Lin Xi looked very surprised.

Lin Fangda shouted in a deep voice: "Who is he? Why did he appear in our Lin family's inner courtyard?"

"Grand Elder, he is Ye Feng who Xiao Xi rescued. I, I will let him go now."

A drop of cold sweat flowed down Lin Tianchou's forehead, and he looked at Ye Feng with a hint of anger.

Just because he saved this man, his daughter was denounced by the great elder and others. The great elder even threatened to convene an elders' meeting to abolish his daughter's identity as the heir of the family. Now this ungrateful brat actually smashed a stone lion. The door to the meeting hall?

Doesn't he think it's chaotic enough?

Is he willing to harm his daughter to the point of no return?

"This man is the boy Lin Xi rescued? You are so bold, you actually ruined the reputation of my Lin family."

"You are so arrogant and domineering. You can tell at a glance that he is not a child of a famous family trained by a big family or sect. Lin Xi has friends with gangsters. How can he be qualified to take the position of the head of the family?"

"Didn't you say that this man was seriously injured and unconscious? Why can't I see that he looked injured at all?"

"Yes, it must be Lin Xi's conspiracy. She may want to take the opportunity to test the reaction of the great elder. It's ridiculous. She is shooting herself in the foot. This girl is trapped in a cocoon."

A group of elders suddenly started making baseless guesses, and their heads were obviously pointing at Lin Xi. There was a lot of noise in the hall, and everyone was criticizing and criticizing. It seemed that Lin Xi's position as the heir to the head of the family could not be saved no matter what.

"Ye Feng, why are you up? Your injury has not healed. If you don't lie down to recuperate, what are you doing here?" Lin Xi frowned.

"These old guys are barking and barking. I really can't listen to them. Miss Lin, they obviously want to take over your Lin family's property. Look, do you want my help?" Ye Feng rolled up his sleeves and asked.

"Let's go, let's go, you are a genius... This is our Lin family's family matter, don't disturb this muddy water." Lin Xi stepped forward quickly, took Ye Feng's arm and tried to push him away.

"Wait!"
