"Lin Yin! What do you want? This is the Ancestral Shrine, not a place for you to act so impudently!" That elder said with a trembling voice.
"Hmph, Lin Ye wants to kill me, so I'll kill him." Lin Yin snorted coldly and said with disdain, "The Pei Family is willing to become a subsidiary family of the Lin Family during this trip to the Jizhou. The strength of the Lin Family has increased greatly. What crime have I committed?"
Lin Xuankun slowly stood up and said when he saw that the elder of his bloodline was frightened.
Ye'er's death is because he is not as skilled as the others. I will not say anything else. It's just that you have offended so many families during your trip to the Jizhou. Do you know how much trouble you have caused for the Lin Family?"
"Do you know how much the Lin Family will have to pay to quell the anger of these families?!"
Lin Yin looked at Lin Xuankun and said indifferently, "Don't worry, Great Elder. Since I have offended these people, I, Lin Yin, will naturally bear the responsibility of these families looking for trouble."
"Alright, then I want to see how your Young Master Yin will bear the anger of these families."
Lin Xuankun was so angry that he laughed and said in a stern voice.
"Then there is no need for you to worry about it, Great Elder!"
Lin Yin said plainly.
"That's enough. I'm tired. All of you can leave now. Lin Yin, stay here for a while." Old Ladyship said softly with her eyes half-closed.
Although Lin Xuankun and the others were unwilling, they did not dare to question Old Ladyship's words. They could only leave in anger.
Very quickly, everyone left the ancestral hall. Only Lin Yin remained where he was.
Wait. After everyone left, Old Ladyship slowly opened her eyes and said, "Lin Yin, who is standing behind you?"
Old Ladyship leaned back on the armchair and squinted her eyes. She admired Lin Yin very much. He was decisive and decisive in killing. Moreover, he did not borrow the Lin Family's power and he already had such strength. He looked like her husband, Lin Qingcang.
It was just that Lin Yin grew up outside the family and did not know how much he had feelings for the Lin Family.
If Lin Yin was sent by another force to try to seize the Lin Family, he would not mind killing Lin Yin in the Lin Family.
However, if Lin Yin didn't have any evil intentions towards the Lin Family, she wouldn't mind focusing on nurturing Lin Yin, or even letting him become the patriarch of the Lin Family.
Her husband, Lin Qingcang, alone had pushed the Lin Family from the bottom of the six great families to the top of the six great families.
As long as Lin Qingcang didn't die a day, the Lin Family wouldn't fall. However, she and Lin Qingcang were already of the same age, so how many more years could she waste?
Although the Lin Family wasn't considered average for the past few generations, they were still just a conservative leader. When he and Lin Qingcang left, the Lin Family might become weaker like the Pei Family.
Now, she saw a glimmer of hope from Lin Yin, and also the hope of the Lin Family's revival.
After a long silence, Lin Yin said slowly, "Old Ladyship, I have my own secrets. It's just that I have no ill intentions towards the Lin Family."
"The Lin Family I care about the most is my grandfather. If it wasn't for my grandfather, I might not have returned to the Lin Family."
His biggest secret was the identity of the heir of the Master of the Dragon Mansion. Now was not the time to reveal it to the public. He did not have a good impression of the Lin Family, but it was not bad either. After all, this was his mother's family.
Moreover, he was not very interested in the position of the Master of the Lin Family. The only people that he could treat seriously in the Lin Family were his grandfather, Lin Xuanye, and the Langya Secret Art.
"The Lin Family has indeed let your mother down. I hope you won't hold a grudge against me." Old Ladyship sighed and said.
"I will suppress the opposition within the Lin Family. Tomorrow, I will announce that you, Lin Yin, are the successor of the Lin Family."
"But I hope that not too many people die."
"I am tired. You can withdraw."
Old Ladyship closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
"Then grandmother, I will leave first!"
Lin Yin bowed to Old Ladyship and slowly walked out of the ancestral hall. The fact that Old Ladyship had made him the successor of the Lin Family was out of his expectations.
Initially, he thought that there would be some twists and turns when he returned to the Lin Family, but he still had some confidence. As long as Patriarch of the Lin Clan did not make a move, he would be able to bring Qimo back to Imperial City, but he did not expect Old Ladyship's attitude to be like this.
After Lin Yin left, Old Ladyship opened her eyes and revealed a trace of gratification in her eyes. Just now, Lin Yin called her grandmother with sincerity.
...
"Grandfather."
Lin Yin walked out of the ancestral shrine and found his grandpa waiting outside.
"Yin, what did Old Ladyship say?"
Lin Xuanye saw Lin Yin come out and heaved a sigh of relief. Since Old Ladyship did not punish Lin Yin in public today, it proved that there was still room for negotiation.
"Grandpa, I made you worry." Lin Yin stepped forward to support Lin Xuanye and said with a smile.
"Old Ladyship said she would announce me as the successor of Lin Family tomorrow," Lin Xuanye said.
Lin Xuanye's eyes did not show any joy. Instead, he frowned and said, "Old Ladyship's words carry weight. Naturally, she will not lie to you."
"Yin, you have to be careful. Lin Xuankun and Lin Xuanming will not let this matter rest. Even if you become the successor of the Lin Family, you cannot be careless."
"Besides, the people of Sword Sect came to Mount Langya during the day. They are staying at Lin Xuankun's place. You have to be careful."
Lin Yin narrowed his eyes. A cold light could be seen in his eyes as he said, "It doesn't matter. They are just a bunch of ants."
"If they dare to cause trouble, they will never be able to return."
...
At this moment, the Great Elder's residence was brightly lit. The people of the Great Elder and the Second Elder's bloodline were gathered together. Their expressions weren't good.
"Old Ladyship is really biased. If I don't give an explanation tomorrow, I won't let this matter rest!" Lin Xuanhe shouted after drinking a cup of wine.
"Xuanhe, you have drunk too much. Be careful with your words!"
Lin Xuanming shouted in a low voice. After all, this was the ancestral land of the Lin family, not outside.
"Lin Xuanming, you are too cautious. This is my territory. No news will reach Old Ladyship!" Lin Xuankun took a sip of wine and said lightly.
"Lin Xuankun, what do you think we should do tomorrow? If Old Ladyship wants Lin Yin to take the position, what do you think?" Lin Xuanming asked coldly.
If the old Grand Preceptor is so biased, then I will have to change the master of Lin Family! " Lin Xuankun said indifferently.
"How dare you..."
Lin Xuanming was stunned. He didn't expect Lin Xuankun to say something like this. Where did he get his confidence from?
Lin Qingcang was still here!
"Second Elder, there's no need to panic. There are experts from the Sword Sect who are rushing over. If Lin Qingcang makes a move, there will naturally be people who will stop him!"
The middle-aged man who was sitting beside Lin Xuankun said indifferently.
"The death of two Heavenly Ranking experts from the Sword Sect. The Lin Family must give me an explanation. Lin Yin will die!"
