Chapter 47: They Didn’t Show Respect for the Lin Family
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The Lin family and the Ye family were not allies.
Ye Canghai was well aware of the Lin family’s goal. They did not choose to fall out with each other because neither side had the confidence to completely defeat the other.
Now, the young master of the Lin family was kept in the Ye family, and there was no news about him for an entire day.
He didn’t believe that Ye Canghai would let his son stay in the Ye family as a guest.
“One day! Please give us another day, Master!” the servant who spoke just now gritted his teeth and said.
“Good!”
Master Lin stared at him and slowly said, “In that case, I will give you one more day. If you still cannot find anything after one day…”
Before he could finish his sentence, a man in a blue robe walked in quickly.
“Master, something bad has happened!” the blue-bubble man said anxiously.
Master Lin raised his head and looked at him. His cold gaze gradually became tender as he asked,
“Elder Wan, what happened?”
Revered elders were different from these servants. If he lost his temper with them, they could choose to quit.
Therefore, it was important to show them some respect at the appropriate time.
“Today, I used a few low-grade spirit stones to bribe a servant of the Ye family. I found out from the servant that Young Master and Elder Liu have been throwm into the dungeon by Ye Canghai… And…”
Elder Wan paused.
The eyes of Master Lin suddenly dulled. He stared at Elder Wan and asked, “And what?”
He got a bad feeling.
“And… And, the cultivation of Young Master and Elder Liu seems to have been abolished by them…” Elder Wan said in a deep voice.
“Ye Canghai! What a nerve! Are they preparing to start a war with us?”
Master Lin exploded with anger when he heard that. His terrifying aura instantly erupted, pressing down on the surrounding void.
The floor under his feet began to shake violently as if it could collapse at any time.
“Guards!”
Master Lin shouted, his eyes cold and his tone filled with anger, “Gather everyone in our family whose cultivation is above the ninth level of the Qi Gathering Realm and follow me to the Ye family! Since the Ye family dares to abolish my son’s cultivation, I’ll make the Ye family disappear from Qingyang City today!”
“Master, please don’t!”
Elder Wan’s expression changed when he heard this. He quickly took two steps forward and stood in front of Master Lin, saying in a deep voice, “Master! Ye Canghai had already formed an alliance with the Su family of Tianyang City! We mustn’t be impulsive!”
“Hmm? The Su family of Tianyang City?”
Master Lin’s face darkened as he stared at Elder Wan. His voice sank into hoarseness. “Are you sure?”
The Su family of Tianyang City!
These simple six words contained a lot of information.
Among the surrounding cities, the Su family of Tianyang City was the most powerful.
It was said that there were dozens of God Altar Realm cultivators in their family!
There were also three Spirit Sea Realm aces!
Moreover, Tianyang City was even more prosperous than Qingyang City.
But the Su family was able to assume a dominant role in Tianyang City, it could be seen how powerful they were.
The situation was different in Qingyang City, where there were several families in each city that held each other up.
Unless it was necessary, no family was willing to provoke the Su family.
“That’s right. Just yesterday, the eldest young master of the Su family arrived at the Ye family. I heard that the two families have already entered into an engagement.”
“The eldest young master of the Su family? Not the youngest son?”
When Master Lin heard this, he frowned slightly and asked in confusion.
“Yes, it’s the Eldest Young Master, Su Chen!”
“Haha… Ye Canghai really made a good move!”
Master Lin narrowed his eyes, and there was a terrifying cold light in his eyes.
As the head of the Lin family, he had taken charge of the Lin family for decades. Naturally, he quickly understood the key.
The eldest young master of the Su family had a good aptitude. It was said that he had already joined the Great Mystery Sect.
Now Ye Canghai chose to marry his daughter to the eldest young master of the Su family, wasn’t it obvious that he wanted to rope in both forces?
“No wonder Ye Canghai dared to abolish Hao’er’s cultivation and even keep Hao’er in their mansion. It turns out that he has backing!”
Elder Wan stole a glance at Master Lin. After a moment of silence, he said, “Master, I heard from the servant of the Ye family that the one who abolished Young Master’s cultivation was not the head of the Ye family, Ye Canghai, but the butler of the Su family of Tianyang City… The one who abolished Elder Liu’s cultivation was the eldest son of the Su family, Su Chen!”
“Hmm?”
Master Lin’s eyes narrowed as a cold light erupted from them. The killing intent in his body had already been condensed into substance.
“The Su family…”
“What a nerve! They’ve gone too far! Do they think that we can be bullied easily?”
Elder Wan noticed that the time was ripe, his expression changed and he said in a timely manner, “Master, there’s a very good opportunity right in front of us.”
When Master Lin heard this, his gaze landed on Elder Wan. He asked in a softened tone, “What opportunity?”
Master Wan didn’t keep him in suspense and quickly said, “This morning, I received news that the eldest son of the Su family and Ye Ruxue seemed to have left the city! I went out of the city to search for half a day. In the end, I found out from a farmer that he had seen a stream of light flying towards the southeast.”
“Oh?”
Master Lin raised his eyebrows with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
They dared to leave the city at this time, which meant they showed no respect for the Lin family at all!
Or did they think that the Lin family did not dare to attack them?
Right now, the only thing that made him hesitate was that Elder Wan obtained that information from a farmer.
In other words, it was likely that the farmer was probably mistaken.
That stream of light might not be Su Chen and Ye Ruxue. If he sent people to chase after them, there was a chance that they would return empty-handed.
However…
Even if there was only a one percent chance, it was enough for him to take a gamble!
After all, Lin Hao’s cultivation could not be wasted!
“Elder Wan, go and find another two revered elders to search in the southeast. If you can find traces of the two of them, remember to clean them up!”
“Yes, Master!”
Elder Wan’s heart skipped a beat and he quickly agreed.
After that, he turned around and walked out of the hall.
After Elder Wan left, Master Lin turned his gaze to the servants. After a moment of silence, he said, “Go keep an eye on the situation outside the city with some people. If there’s any news of Su Chen and Ye Ruxue, remember to tell me immediately!”
“Yes, Master!”
The servants hurriedly bowed and left.
The hall fell silent immediately after that.
Master Lin looked up in the direction of the Ye family and narrowed his eyes slightly.. He muttered in a cold tone, “Ye Canghai, we’ll see!”
