"Lin Yuelong, what do you mean by that? I greeted Big Brother, and now it's considered insincere?"
Hearing Lin Yuelong deliberately provoke him, Lin Kaishan's face immediately darkened.
This Lin Yuelong had been opposing him for decades.
In the past, he was unable to do anything about him. But this time, several masters from the capital had already contacted him, expressing their willingness to give him face and obey his commands.
Since he now had so many masters helping him, he would definitely find a way to deal with Lin Yuelong after the banquet!
"Hmph, Lin Kaishan, I advise you to leave a sliver of room for reconciliation in whatever you do."
"Big Brother has already agreed to give you the position of Patriarch, yet you still humiliate him like this. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Lin Yuelong snorted coldly and threatened Lin Kaishan.
If it were before, he would definitely not have said such things.
But he knew how much of a genius his nephew was.
Although Lin Chen had not yet fully recognized his ancestors and had not acknowledged Lin Xianfeng as his biological father, Lin Yuelong could sense that Lin Chen still had some feelings for Lin Xianfeng.
As the saying goes, the hatred for a father's killer and the desire for a wife are deep. Now Lin Kaishan publicly insulted Lin Xianfeng. If Lin Chen were to find out, with his personality, Lin Kaishan would likely be the one facing death!
"Reconciliation?"
"Hahaha, Kai Shan, did you hear that? They actually want to reconcile with us in the future?"
Hearing Lin Yuelong's threatening words, Lin Kaishan not only showed no fear, but he burst out laughing.
Good heavens, now that he had finally gained complete control, there was absolutely no way he would let Lin Xianfeng and Lin Yuelong off.
How could he possibly leave them a chance for revenge?
Indeed, he wanted to severely humiliate Lin Yuelong and Lin Xianfeng right now, but Lin Kaishan knew that this would be the only day.
As long as he obtained the position of Patriarch, he would immediately dispatch experts to assassinate those in the Lin family who opposed him.
And Lin Xianfeng and Lin Yuelong in front of him were at the very top of the list.
Reconciliation in the future? Dream on!
He was not a foolish villain in a novel who would die from talking too much!
"Lin Kaishan, you..."
Hearing the undisguised meaning in Lin Kaishan's words, Lin Yuelong's voice faltered, and he wished he could rush forward and kill this scoundrel.
But as soon as he revealed a hint of his aura, several gazes from the surroundings were cast in their direction.
No need to guess, they must be the several late-stage Golden Core masters Lin Kaishan had just subdued!
"Alright, Lin Xianfeng, Lin Yuelong, up until now, you are still members of my Lin family."
"Cherish it!"
"Let's go!"
After saying that, Lin Kaishan directly led his lackeys and turned to leave, leaving Lin Xianfeng and Lin Yuelong standing there, full of anger.
"Hmph, Big Brother, do you see? If you had listened to me and killed this scoundrel back then, how could this have happened today?"
Looking at Lin Kaishan's receding back and thinking of his arrogant demeanor just now, Lin Yuelong felt like his lungs were about to explode.
When Lin Xianfeng was in power before, he had never treated the second branch like this!
Not only did he not suppress them, but he treated them with courtesy and fully supported Lin Kaishan in breaking through to the alchemist realm.
It could be said that without Lin Xianfeng's support, no matter how much Lin Kaishan tried for another eight lifetimes, he would never have reached the level of a third-grade alchemist!
But now? This Lin Kaishan was simply ungrateful!
"Alright, Yuelong, do as I say. During the Patriarch handover ceremony later, when they're not paying attention, just leave."
"Go to Hangcheng, find Lin Chen and the others, and hide them. I'm counting on you!"
Hearing Lin Yuelong's words, Lin Xianfeng sighed with helplessness.
It was too late to say anything now.
There was no such thing as a miracle cure for regret in this world!
"Understood, Big Brother, don't worry. Alas!"
Hearing Lin Kaishan's words, which sounded like he was settling his affairs, Lin Yuelong sighed deeply, his expression filled with helplessness.
He wondered how that young fellow Lin Chen was doing at the Long family.
So many days had passed, yet there was no news at all!
"By the way, what about that alchemist named Chen Lin? Lin Kaishan doesn't know about his relationship with us yet."
"If possible, ask him to stay away from the Lin family and never return."
Lin Xianfeng then seemed to recall something and reminded Lin Yuelong.
For some reason, although he had only met Chen Lin once, he felt a natural sense of closeness to him.
Naturally, he did not want to endanger the life of such a talented alchemist because of himself!
"Patriarch! Patriarch!"
However, as soon as Lin Xianfeng finished speaking, a butler-like figure hurried in from outside, looking very flustered.
"Hmm? What is it, Steward Lin?"
Seeing the butler who suddenly rushed in, Lin Xianfeng frowned.
This butler was considered his confidant. For some reason, at such a critical moment, he was still so flustered.
"Patriarch, there's a young man outside who claims to be your son and wants to acknowledge his ancestors!"
Steward Lin did not dare to delay and quickly explained the situation.
Originally, according to Lin Kaishan's arrangement, he was responsible for welcoming guests today, but a young man suddenly appeared, claiming to be Lin Xianfeng's biological son.
As a steward of the Lin family and a confidant of Lin Xianfeng, he knew that Lin Xianfeng indeed had a son who was living outside.
Moreover, and most importantly, the appearance of the young man outside bore a striking resemblance to Lin Xianfeng in his youth.
It was precisely because of this that he had rushed over to report!
"What? My son wants to acknowledge his ancestors? How is that possible?"
Upon hearing Steward Lin's words, Lin Xianfeng's first reaction was disbelief.
He did have a son named Lin Chen who was living outside, but he had no idea about the existence of the Lin family until now.
How could he have found his way here and want to acknowledge his ancestors?
Only Lin Yuelong beside him wore a pensive expression.
"Patriarch, it should be true. The young man claims his name is Lin Chen, and his appearance is exactly like yours when you were young!"
Seeing that Lin Xianfeng did not believe him, Steward Lin repeatedly explained.
If it weren't for this reason, he would never have personally come to report at this time!
"Drive him away! Tell him I have no son!"
Hearing Steward Lin's repeated explanations, Lin Xianfeng clenched his fists and hardened his heart.
Although he didn't know how Lin Chen had found his way here, he was no longer the Patriarch of the Lin family today.
If Lin Chen came to acknowledge his ancestors at this time, wouldn't it be sending himself to his death?
