C696 Lin Xuantu Submitted
Yes, Lin Yin had become the successor of Lin Family. This was something that Lin Xuantu could not accept, or even believe.
Why?
Lin Yin was a disciple of the Lin Family who had never made any contributions to the Lin Family. How could he become the successor of the Lin Family in a single step?
One should know that within the Lin Family, countless young talents had stirred up a storm of blood in order to fight for this throne.
Up until now, there were only two legitimate candidates in the Lin Family of Langya .
The two Crown Princes of the Lin Family represented the faction of the Great Elder and the Second Elder respectively. They were backed by an extremely powerful force.
As for Lin Yin, what was he capable of?
"Xuantu, do you think I would speak nonsense about such a matter with my status?" Elder Qin said in a deep voice. His tone was somewhat dissatisfied as he stared coldly at Lin Xuantu.
Clearly, Lin Xuantu had lost his composure and composure. His words were somewhat illogical.
As an elder of the Lin Family's Elder Council, could Qin Hengyue fabricate Old Ladyship's orders?
Of course, it was understandable that Lin Xuantu could not accept this news for the time being.
Even Elder Qin was shocked when he received Old Ladyship's notice.
He had appointed Lin Yin as the successor of the Lin Family. Old Ladyship's actions had shocked the entire Lin Family.
Such an action was even a little absurd.
However, when he thought about it carefully, Old Ladyship's move was truly wonderful.
The Lin Family originally had two successors. The competition was so intense that the sky and earth turned dark. The core members of the Lin Family were standing behind both sides. They could be considered to be evenly matched.
Old Ladyship suddenly appointed Lin Yin as the successor of the Lin Family, and it could be said that this balance was broken.
This was like throwing a stone into the sea, and the amount of waves it could cause was all dependent on Lin Yin's ability.
"This, this..."
Lin Xuantu seemed to be in a daze as he murmured to himself. The corner of his mouth was filled with bitterness.
He already knew that he no longer had the ability to fight against Lin Yin.
In terms of martial power, the three peerless experts standing behind Lin Yin were enough to suppress him.
Even the identity of the senior of the Lin Family who was the trump card, using Old Ladyship's order as a threat, and because Lin Yin became the candidate successor of the Lin Family, it instantly vanished.
In front of Lin Yin, Lin Xuantu no longer had any sense of superiority.
Lin Xuantu was like a person who had lost his soul. He slightly raised his head and looked at Lin Yin.
Lin Yin, who was sitting opposite of him, was expressionless. He did not show any emotion.
It seemed like there was nothing to be excited about about being announced as the candidate for Lin Family.
The more Lin Xuantu looked at Lin Yin, the more shocked he was.
This was because Lin Yin was shrewd and calm. Or was it because Lin Yin didn't care about the identity of the successor of the Lin Family in his heart?
Lin Xuantu had no idea.
He only knew that he had become a fish on the chopping board, allowing Lin Yin to slaughter him.
At this moment, Zhao Chengqian and Chu Yunshan's expressions changed.
As people of Dragon Country's hidden circle, the two of them knew very well how important the successor of Lin Family of Langya was.
This level of identity was enough for Lin Yin to walk unhindered in the underworld. Not many forces dared to not give face to him.
One should know that as the eldest son of Chu Jicang, Chu Yunshan had yet to obtain the position of the successor of the Chu Clan.
As for Lin Yin, he was chosen as the successor of the Lin Family, but he was not moved at all. His composure and magnanimity were truly admirable.
"Lin Xuantu, you, get up."
Lin Yin looked at Lin Xuantu with an expressionless face and said plainly.
He didn't know about what Elder Qin had told him.
He didn't expect Old Ladyship of the Lin Family, who was far away in Cangzhou, would make such a decision.
When Lin Yin heard the news, his first reaction was to guess that Old Ladyship, who had great skills, wanted to use him as a whetstone to test the young talents in the Lin Family.
However, Old Ladyship had also underestimated him.
Lin Xuantu was stunned. His face was stiff. He understood the meaning of Lin Yin's words. This was forcing him to lower his head and admit his mistakes.
"Xuantu, you have to admit your mistakes. You better figure it out yourself." Elder Qin reminded him from the side.
Lin Xuantu's mouth was bitter. A trace of pain flowed through his eyes. He stood up from his seat and faced Lin Yin. He lowered his proud head.
"Hu!"
Lin Xuantu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and opened his eyes again. His face was full of grievance and frustration, and he had a belly full of fire.
"Young Master Lin Yin, all the matters in Imperial City are my fault. I sincerely apologize to you. He also apologized to Young Master Lin Yin's subordinates. Lin Xuantu lowered his head, almost gritting his teeth as he said these words of apology.
"I was the one who didn't know the big picture and made so many jokes in Imperial City. Young Master Lin Yin, I will immediately give the order to return everything in Imperial City to you. Today, I will treat it as a welcoming ceremony for you. I hope you can forgive me."
After saying these words of submission, Lin Xuantu's face turned red. He wished he could find a hole to hide in, but he did not dare to look at Lin Yin's expression. He just kept his head down.
"Young Master Lin Yin, Xuantu is already here. Do you think you can let him go for now? After we return to the Lin Family, we will convene an Elder Council and redecide how to punish Xuantu for his mistakes." Elder Qin tried to smooth things over.
Do you think you can get away with it with just a few words? You, cripple your own hand." Lin Yin said casually.
"This..."
Lin Xuantu's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to explode, suddenly, Elder Qin's cold gaze swept over, causing Lin Xuan to vent his anger.
Ka!
Lin Xuantu closed his eyes and ruthlessly struck his left arm. A crisp sound of bones breaking could be heard, and one of his arms immediately went limp.
For an expert of his level, even if his arm was broken, there were still ways to recover. It would only take him ten days and half a month to recover.
However, crippling one of his arms was a great humiliation!
Lin Yin said expressionlessly, "Lin Xuantu, in the future, if you dare to take another step into the Imperial City, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Hearing this, the corner of Lin Xuantu's mouth twitched. His face was half red and half white.
He was slapping his own face. On the other hand, Lin Yin still wanted to step on it.
After this incident, not only did Lin Xuantu lose all his face in Imperial City, he would lose all his prestige when he returned to Lin Family.
He began to regret his decision. He had pushed Lin Yin too far when the situation was still uncertain. Otherwise, how could he have ended up in such a humiliating situation?
"Get lost."
Lin Yin spat out a word coldly.
Lin Xuantu didn't dare to say anything. He forced a smile on his stiff face. After that, he turned around and walked out of the Sky Dragon Tower with a few young men in Tang clothes.
In this meeting of the Sky Dragon Tower, Lin Xuantu had crippled one of his own hands and admitted his mistake. Thus, the meeting came to an end.
Lin Xuantu's original plan didn't make Lin Yin lose his reputation. Instead, it became the stage for Lin Yin to return to the Sky Dragon Tower.
Even he himself became Lin Yin's stepping stone, allowing the reputation of the Imperial City's Young Master Yin to once again climb to the peak.
