Kapitel 7: Chapter 7: The Zhao Family Bearing Down

Lin Family.

Having learned of the series of events that had occurred with the Qin Family, the upper echelons of the Lin Family couldn't help but be taken aback.

"What a Qinchuan, what a Qin Asura!"

"To think that the Great Elder of the Qin Family, boasting an initial-stage Cultivation Level of the Fourth Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm and having rallied a group of elders, aimed to usurp the position of the family head. Yet, he was ultimately suppressed single-handedly by Qinchuan, who thus took complete control of the entire Qin Family."

"This young man has some impressive tactics."

The Lin Family head, Lin Buyu, also showed an inscrutable smile at this moment.

"He refused the marriage alliance with our Lin Family, which suggests he has seen through our intentions. Despite his youth, he is far more troublesome than that Great Elder of the Qin Family."

"Did you just say that Qinchuan's Cultivation Level has already broken through to the peak of the Third Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm?"

Lin Buyu looked at Lin Que and asked.

"Yes!" Lin Que replied affirmatively.

Lin Buyu exclaimed in admiration, "As far as I know, isn't Qinchuan only sixteen years old?"

"Sixteen years old, at the peak of the Third Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm, and capable of defeating the initial-stage of the Fourth Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm — the Great Elder of the Qin Family. With such talent and skill, if the disciples of our Lin Family were like this, would we be so thoroughly suppressed by the other major branches at the annual clan meeting in Mountain River City every year?"

Hearing this, Lin Que and the other Lin Family elders fell silent.

This matter was a disgrace to the Lin Family!

Lin Buyu's gaze flickered slightly as he looked around at the elders and said, "What if this Qinchuan were one of our Lin Family, representing our clan's prodigy at this year's main family meeting... what would it be like?"

The members of the Lin Family present concentrated their attention.

Without concern for others, Lin Buyu made a shocking statement, "I plan to betroth Xi'er to this young man!"

"What?"

"To betroth the Second Miss to that Qinchuan?!"

Everyone was startled at this revelation.

"Father, although Qinchuan has some ability, his family is merely a second-rate noble family. How could he be worthy of our little sister?"

"Please reconsider, Father!"

Lin Que was also taken aback and quickly spoke up.

Meanwhile, the Second Miss of the Lin Family, who had joyfully rushed over upon hearing of her elder brother's return, couldn't help speaking out when she heard her father intended to marry her to a son of a second-rate noble family whom she had never met, "I don't want to marry that Qinchuan!"

Lin Xi approached, hugging Lin Buyu's arm and cooed, "Dad, I don't want to marry him. Xi'er wants to decide her own marriage. You love Xi'er the most, don't you? You wouldn't force Xi'er, right?"

Lin Buyu sighed softly, his eyes showing a trace of regret and helplessness.

...

The next morning.

"Family head, the Zhao Family has arrived, and the elders ask you to go to the council hall to preside over the matter," reported the messenger with a slightly troubled expression.

His name was Qin Shan, formerly renowned as second only to Qinchuan among the Qin Residence's chosen youths, but two years ago, he had a conflict with a member of the Zhao Family and his Dantian was shattered, his Cultivation Level completely destroyed.

At that time, the presiding Great Elder not only failed to bring justice for him but instead reprimanded him for the conflict with the Zhao family member. He was treated with disdain and demoted to being a runner for the Qin Family, a status barely higher than that of a servant.

"So, they have arrived. Why the rush?" Qinchuan said with a light smile, slowly standing up with a calm demeanor, showing no signs of emotional fluctuation.

Qinchuan glanced at Qin Shan and lightly patted his shoulder before heading towards the family council hall.

And his voice followed into Qin Shan's ears.

"One's Cultivation Level and foundation can be disrupted, but their spirit should not be broken."

"Don't let some trash break your backbone!"

At the same time.

Qin Family council hall.

A group of Qin Family elders sitting opposite several Zhao Family elders were visibly uneasy.

The Zhao Family, a first-rate noble family of Great Wilderness City, far surpassed the Qin Family in strength!

If the Zhao Family were determined to annihilate the Qin Family, there would be no chance of resistance.

"I heard your Qin Family has had a change of leadership, with Qinchuan taking on the role of family head?"

At that moment, a young Zhao Family scion lounged comfortably in a guest chair, holding a folding fan and sipping tea leisurely. He spoke faintly.

This person was the eldest son of the Zhao Family, Zhao Wujie!

"Zhao Young Master, it's true that Qinchuan is now in charge of the Qin Family," replied a Qin Family elder cautiously.

"Smack!"

Zhao Wujie suddenly slammed his teacup down on the nearby table and barked, "What an arrogance from Qinchuan!"

"As a representative of the Zhao Family, I, along with these elders, have arrived, and if Qinchuan, as the Qin Family head, is not here at the door to welcome us personally, making us wait here, isn't that disrespectful to the Zhao Family?!"

His sudden outburst carried a commanding tone, causing the Qin Family elders to change in expression, yet none dared to utter a word in rebuttal!

But just at that moment...

"Who let these cats and dogs in, making noise in my Qin Family hall?"
