"Hahahaha, Lin Chen, I am your own uncle, no need to be so formal with me."
Seeing Lin Chen's uncooperative attitude, Lin Kaishan was displeased, but he did not show it on his face.
If he had to kill Lin Xianfeng before, then the appearance of Lin Chen was like a shot of confidence for Lin Kaishan!
He understood Lin Xianfeng, knowing that he was a man of deep affection and loyalty.
Even for a stranger, he would abandon his life, let alone his own son who had been away from home for over twenty years!
As long as he captured this young man named Lin Chen, he was not afraid that Lin Xianfeng would not listen to him!
No matter what, this Lin Xianfeng was a solid late-stage Core Formation expert, absolutely not comparable to ordinary cultivators!
"Alright, since Uncle is so affectionate, then I will listen to Uncle!"
Seeing Lin Kaishan stepping forward to speak again and again, Lin Chen narrowed his eyes, guessing Lin Kaishan's true intentions.
"Good, good, good, let's go, Lin Chen, let's chat over there. I can introduce you to our Lin family!"
Hearing Lin Chen agree, Lin Kaishan was overjoyed.
Immediately, Lin Kaishan grabbed Lin Chen's hand and pulled him aside, intending to talk in private.
"Kaishan! Our grievances should not involve the younger generation!"
Seeing Lin Kaishan's actions, Lin Xianfeng became anxious and quickly followed.
Good heavens, although he didn't know what Lin Kaishan was trying to do now, he was sure that the other party had no good intentions!
Otherwise, with Lin Kaishan's personality, how could he be willing to talk to Lin Chen alone?
There must be some conspiracy!
"Xianfeng, your words are meaningless."
"I am Lin Chen's uncle, how could I harm him?"
Seeing Lin Xianfeng catch up, Lin Kaishan narrowed his eyes, a hint of killing intent appearing in his expression.
His current plan was indeed to take Lin Chen aside and have him swallow a poison he had personally refined.
This way, he could use Lin Chen's life to threaten Lin Xianfeng!
But he didn't expect Lin Xianfeng to be so insensitive!
"You..."
Hearing Lin Kaishan's words, Lin Xianfeng clenched his fists.
At this moment, he truly regretted why he had spared this beast's life before!
"Big Brother! Quickly, quickly, come outside with me!"
However, just as Lin Xianfeng and Lin Kaishan were about to continue their conversation, Lin Kaiyun, who had left earlier, rushed to Lin Kaishan's side, looking very anxious.
"What are you panicking about?"
Seeing Lin Kaiyun's hurried appearance, Lin Kaishan frowned, his expression somewhat displeased.
He was talking to Lin Xianfeng, and this Lin Kaiyun had no judgment at all.
As long as he captured Lin Chen, it would be equivalent to directly capturing the brothers Lin Xianfeng and Lin Yuelong!
"Big Brother, we just received news that the Xiao family head, Xiao Jianguo, will personally come to our Long family to attend the ceremony!"
"The convoy has already set off and will likely arrive at the main gate in five minutes at most!"
Lin Kaiyun said excitedly to Lin Kaishan.
The Xiao family was one of the ten great families in Long Country.
Xiao Jianguo, the head of the Xiao family, was also a Nascent Soul stage expert!
Such a powerful figure was now personally coming to their Lin family to attend the ceremony, so all of them had to go and welcome him!
"What? The Xiao family head is coming to attend the ceremony in person? Are you kidding me?"
Upon hearing Lin Kaiyun's words, Lin Kaishan did not believe it at first.
Of course, when he sent out invitations, he did give one to the Xiao family.
But the Xiao family was one of the ten great families in Long Country. Even if they gave him face, at most, a person in charge would come to go through the motions.
If an elder came, it would be a great honor for the Lin family.
But what was Lin Kaiyun saying now?
The head of the Xiao family, a Nascent Soul expert, was actually coming to the Lin family for the ceremony?
"Big Brother, how would I dare to lie to you with such words?"
"The Xiao family's butler personally called me and said they would be arriving soon. Big Brother, we should hurry and welcome them!"
"If we offend the Xiao family head, we won't be able to bear the consequences!"
Seeing that Lin Kaishan did not believe him, Lin Kaiyun had no choice but to keep explaining.
Indeed, the Xiao family head valued etiquette the most. If they did not go to welcome him now, it would inevitably displease the Xiao family head.
But conversely, if they could handle their relationship with the Xiao family well, the Lin family's rise to prominence would be just around the corner!
Even becoming a top-tier family was not impossible!
"Kaiyun, you know the seriousness of the matter. I'll ask you again, are you sure Xiao Jianguo is coming to attend the ceremony in person?"
Even though Lin Kaiyun had repeatedly explained, Lin Kaishan still couldn't quite believe it.
The Lin family had no connection with the Xiao family.
The head of the Xiao family, a Nascent Soul expert, personally coming to attend the ceremony was truly incomprehensible!
"Big Brother, I swear to heaven, it was really the Xiao family's butler who called me and said they were arriving soon."
"I swear, if I am lying, may lightning strike me and I die a horrible death!"
Lin Kaiyun, with no other choice, could only raise his hand and make a solemn oath.
"Alright, pass down the order, let all the members of the Lin family go to the main gate to welcome the Xiao family head!"
Seeing Lin Kaiyun make such a vow with his own life, Lin Kaishan finally believed it somewhat.
He knew that although his younger brother had always been unreliable,
He would never joke with him about such a matter!
"Okay, Big Brother, I'll go personally right away!"
After receiving Lin Kaishan's confirmation, Lin Kaiyun turned and ran away eagerly.
The Xiao family head personally attending the ceremony was definitely a major event!
"Hahahaha, Lin Xianfeng, do you see? Even the Xiao family head is coming to watch my inauguration ceremony. What else do you have to say?"
At this moment, Lin Kaishan turned to look at Lin Xianfeng, his expression full of excitement.
There were many noble families in the capital, but they could be roughly divided into top-tier families, first-tier families, second-tier families, and so on.
The current Lin family was a second-tier family.
With himself as a third-grade alchemist, they had a high chance of entering the ranks of first-tier families in the future.
But what was the Xiao family?
One of the ten great families of Long Country, a power that transcended all others!
Even if all the first-tier families in the entire Long Country were combined, they would not be a match for the Xiao family!
