Lin Feng’s words echoed in the deliberation hall, making Zhou Yunwei lower her head in shame and anger.
“Lin Feng! How dare you! You, a Junior, dare to be so disrespectful to City Lord Zhou!”
Seeing Zhou Yunwei’s expression, Du Kaifeng secretly thought it was a good opportunity and immediately jumped out to accuse Lin Feng.
Lin Feng looked at Du Kaifeng and said coldly, “Young Master Du, this is the Lin family. When City Lord Zhou and I are discussing matters, it’s not for an outsider like you to interrupt!”
“Lin Feng, I am an Outer Sect Disciple of the Danyang Sect! How dare you speak to me like that!”
Du Kaifeng considered himself a Danyang Sect Disciple and was accustomed to looking down on everyone, always acting superior.
Now, seeing Lin Feng not putting him in his eyes, he immediately reacted as if his tail had been stepped on.
“Hehe, Danyang Sect?”
Lin Feng’s face showed a hint of sarcasm as he looked at Zhou Yunwei and said,
“Does becoming a Danyang Sect Disciple mean you have to have an arranged marriage?!”
“Silence!”
“How audacious!”
Grand Elder Lin and Elder Sun both shouted at the same time.
Lin Feng, whose mind was clouded by anger, had originally only intended to mock Zhou Yunwei for being fickle and faithless, and that Cultivating with the Grand Elder was merely an excuse.
Hearing their shouts, he suddenly realized that his words had also offended the Danyang Sect.
“Lin Feng! Do you know what you are saying? Do you want to bring about the destruction of the Lin family?!”
“Hurry up and apologize to Senior Sun!”
Grand Elder Lin Mingde quickly interrupted Elder Sun and shouted at Lin Feng.
When under another’s roof, one must bow one’s head.
Lin Feng could only suppress the anger in his heart and bowed to Senior Sun, saying,
“Senior Sun, I spoke out of turn just now. Please don’t take offense at a Junior like me.”
“Such an apology lacks sincerity. If you want to apologize, then kneel and apologize!”
Since Lin Feng had just disregarded Du Kaifeng, how could Du Kaifeng miss the opportunity to kick him while he was down?
“Don’t go too far!”
Lin Feng would never agree to kneel and apologize in front of everyone.
If this matter were to spread, how could he ever hold his head high again?
“Senior Sun, about this…”
The Grand Elder naturally didn’t want Lin Feng to kneel. Lin Feng was the Young Clan Leader of the Lin family, and if he knelt today, the Lin family would also lose a great deal of face.
However, Elder Sun remained unmoved, his gaze coldly fixed on Lin Feng.
At this moment, the Second Elder stood up and said to Lin Feng,
“Lin Feng, this matter was caused by you. If you cannot resolve it, don’t blame this old man for being ruthless and expelling you from the Lin family!”
Lin Feng trembled with rage, glaring angrily at the Second Elder.
“Sigh…”
The Fifth Elder, who had remained silent, sighed softly and said,
“Senior Sun, Lin Feng is young and ignorant. Please don’t take today’s incident to heart.”
“Since Lin Feng’s father is not here, we will make the decision. Let’s annul this engagement.”
“As for this Foundation Establishment Pill, consider it compensation from the Lin family to Senior Sun.”
“Fifth Elder, you…”
“Good!”
The Second Elder had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Elder Sun.
Foundation Establishment Pills were not abundant even in the Danyang Sect, and Elder Sun still had many Juniors. Naturally, he had no reason to refuse a free Foundation Establishment Pill.
“Considering this is your first offense, this old man will let you off this time!”
“If there’s a next time, this old man will not be lenient!”
“Let’s go!”
After Elder Sun finished speaking, he walked out of the deliberation hall.
“A mere Qi Refining Stage 3 waste, daring to covet Junior Sister Zhou. He’s simply a toad wishing to eat swan meat!”
“Hahahahaha…”
Du Kaifeng walked past Lin Feng, dropped a mocking remark, and left with a triumphant expression.
City Lord Zhou stood up, cupped his fists to the three Elders to bid farewell, and left with Zhou Yunwei.
After everyone had left, the Second Elder said, “Grand Elder, Fifth Elder, Lin Feng has been unable to Cultivate to Qi Refining Stage 7 for a long time, and now he has offended the Danyang Sect. Although Senior Sun did not pursue the matter, Lin Feng is no longer suitable to be the Young Clan Leader of the Lin family. We should select a new Young Clan Leader from among the Lin family’s Juniors!”
The Grand Elder, Fifth Elder, and Lin Feng all looked at the Second Elder in shock. The Grand Elder said,
“Second Elder, how can such a major matter be decided by just the three of us!”
The Second Elder said, “This matter, of course, needs to be discussed with others. I have already sent messages to the Third Elder and Fourth Elder, asking them to return before this internal clan Junior competition to discuss the selection of the Lin family’s Young Clan Leader.”
“Heh heh!”
Lin Feng sneered and said,
“It seems that even if I hadn’t offended the Danyang Sect today, the Second Elder intended to depose me from my position as Young Clan Leader!”
The Second Elder said, “Lin Feng, you can’t blame me. We did give you opportunities, but you have been unable to Cultivate to Qi Refining Stage 7 for a long time. We have no choice but to consider the future of the Lin family.”
“If all five of us agree, even if your father returns, he will have to comply!”
“Now, please hand over the Lin family’s Ancestral Token to us for temporary safekeeping. Once a new Young Clan Leader is selected, the Token will be given to the new Young Clan Leader.”
Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat. Without the Ancestral Token, what would he use to deal with Wuchen Zi within his body?
“Second Elder, this matter has not yet been concluded. Asking me to hand over the Ancestral Token now is probably a bit premature, isn’t it!”
The Fifth Elder said, “Lin Feng is right. It’s not too late for Lin Feng to hand over the Ancestral Token after a new Young Clan Leader has been selected.”
The Second Elder frowned slightly and said, “Very well, you may keep the Ancestral Token for a while longer.”
Lin Feng did not wish to stay any longer, so he cupped his fists to the three of them to bid farewell and turned to leave the deliberation hall.
“Yo, isn’t this Cousin Lin Feng?”
“Looking at Cousin Lin Feng, could it be that his Realm has fallen again?”
As Lin Feng walked out of the deliberation hall, he encountered a shifty-looking youth.
“Greetings, Young Master Lin Ze.”
Wei Xiong bowed to the youth.
“Lin Ze, I’m not in a good mood today. Come, accompany me for a couple of drinks!”
There were over a hundred Juniors in the Lin family. Lin Feng, once known as a Genius youth, was often flattered by people.
Now, with the reputation of a waste, these Juniors either avoided Lin Feng from afar or came over to mock him.
Only Lin Ze, the grandson of the Fifth Elder, had always treated Lin Feng as a brother since childhood.
“What’s going on? I saw your father-in-law come to the Lin family just now, followed by a beautiful woman. Is it related to your father-in-law?”
“Don’t mention them in front of me again!”
“Huh?”
Lin Ze was a bit confused.
“The one behind City Lord Zhou was Zhou Yunwei. They came today to break off our engagement.”
“What? This happened too?”
Lin Ze looked shocked.
“Did Zhou Yunwei fall for some influential Young Master in the Danyang Sect and become fickle?”
Lin Feng said, “This matter is a bit complicated and cannot be explained in a few words. I asked you to go for a drink, are you coming or not?!”
“If Lin Feng asks to drink, of course, I’m coming! Let’s go to Tianxiang Restaurant and drink until we drop!”
