Lin Chamber.

At this moment, this place was full of people, including Lin Zhen, the patriarch of the Lin clan, and nine elders of the Lin clan. Except for the Great Elder and Eleventh Elder Lin Fan, the high-level leaders of the Lin clan were all here.

The highest authority of the Lin clan is not the patriarch, but the Council of Elders. However, the Council of Elders rarely comes forward, and most of the things in the Lin Clan are decided by the Lin Patriarch alone.

And the convening of the Council of Elders represents that the Lin clan has encountered an indecisive major event.

The Great Elder of the Lin Clan rarely asks about things, unless he encounters a major matter related to the survival of the family, he never attends the high-level meetings of the Lin Clan of a general nature.

All told, the Grand Elder hadn't attended the Council of Elders for a full eighteen years.

The last time the Great Elder participated, it was eighteen years ago, and the Lin clan offended the Blue Eagle King Sect, the only king-level sect near Qingshan County at that time.

At that time, I don't know who spread the rumor that there was a king-level martial art in the Lin Clan's Martial Pavilion. The letter said that he would come to the Lin Clan's Martial Pavilion in three days to pay homage to the royal family's martial arts, and hoped that the Lin clan would cooperate.

After receiving the letter, the Lin clan was shaken, and they couldn't come up with a king-level exercise at all. It was a matter of the survival of the Lin clan, and the patriarch of the Lin clan at that time hurriedly convened a meeting of elders and invited the great elder to come.

But then a very strange thing happened, within a few days, the Blue Eagle King Gate was destroyed, and all the martial arts cultivators above the martial artist in the door were killed, and none of them escaped.

Since then, there has been no inflow force in the vicinity of Qingshan County.

And the matter to be discussed today is related to Lin Xiao, so Lin Fan, as a father, naturally has to avoid suspicion.

Lin Tiansheng glanced at the audience and said slowly: "The purpose of summoning all the elders here today must be known to you, Lin Xiao seriously injured Lin Hu in the challenge in the morning, and violated the rules of my Lin clan. I convened you today to discuss how to deal with Lin Xiao. ”

Although Lin Tiansheng is the second elder of the Lin clan, due to the particularity of the great elder of the Lin clan, he is actually the leader of the elders.

The third elder took the lead in expressing his opinion and said, "I think that although Lin Xiao has done a little too much, he should be punished lightly because he is young and Lin Hu is malicious first. ”

The three elders are kind, and they are usually close to Lin Fan, so they will naturally defend Lin Xiao.

"I agree with the three elders. The Ten Elders got up and said, "And Lin Xiao's talent is also obvious to everyone, and it is very likely that he is a twelve-year-old martial artist of the ninth order. For this kind of genius, my Lin clan must not chill his heart. ”

"I'm against it. ”

The four elders of the Lin clan stood up and were the first to raise objections.

"I think the rules of the Lin clan cannot be broken, and since Lin Xiao violated the clan rules, he should be punished. If we don't punish Lin Xiao today, then where is the majesty of the Lin clan rules? If the clan rules are not majestic, how can we restrain the clansmen?"

The four elders of the Lin clan, known as the "Iron Mask", are extremely strict and rigid. No matter who is wrong, as long as it falls into his hands, he only talks about clan rules, and does not talk about any personal feelings. Therefore, among the Lin clan, there is no one who is not afraid of him.

"Yes. The Eighth Elder also got up and chimed in: "Whether he is a genius or not, he can't break the clan rules. The rules set by the ancestors can not be said to change. And everyone knows that Lin Xiao can't condense his strength, and he can only stop at the ninth order of martial artists in this life. How can such a person be considered a genius?"

The fifth elder spoke: "I don't think so, Lin Xiao's father Lin Fan has made great contributions to my Lin clan, even if it is for his sake, we should be punished lightly." ”

The sixth elder of the Lin clan said with a red face: "You are showing favoritism, how can a person like you be qualified to be an elder?"

The fifth elder slapped the table and said angrily, "Who do you say is favoritism? ”

......

The Nine Elders, from the beginning of their respective opinions to the later quarrels, no one obeys anyone.

Lin Tiansheng already had a number in his mind at this moment, three of the eight elders suggested a light punishment, and the other five thought that they should be severely punished in accordance with the clan rules.

Looking at this result, he couldn't help but sweat for Lin Xiao. The current situation is very unfavorable to Lin Xiao.

If according to the clan rules, Lin Xiao's move can be sentenced to "abolish cultivation and expel him from the house".

The Lin clan, for the same room, the punishment is unusually severe. It is precisely because of this that the Lin people are extremely united with the outside world.

Now there are still two people who have not expressed their opinions, one is himself, and he naturally supports Lin Xiao. The other is Lin Zhen, the patriarch of the Lin clan.

If he supports the clan rules, Lin Xiao is only afraid that this time he will be hanging.

Lin Tiansheng motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then said to Lin Zhen: "Patriarch, I don't know what you think?"

At this moment, Lin Zhen couldn't pay attention to it in his heart.

As the patriarch, he has more to think about, and this matter cannot be solved simply by "following the clan rules".

Lin Xiao's father, Lin Fan, is an elder of the Lin clan and a backbone of the Lin clan. Lin Xiao's sister Lin Qi, a twelve-year-old martial artist of the seventh order, is a rare talent of the Lin clan.

Even though Lin Xiao is not a genius, these two people are really people who the Lin clan can't give up easily. If according to the clan rules, Lin Xiao is punished with "abandonment and repair, expelled from the door", it will inevitably make these two people centrifuge the Lin family.

Another point, which is also what Lin Zhen is most worried about, is the attitude of Great Elder Lin Kui.

Lin Kui's attitude towards Lin Xiao made him very puzzled. Whether it was Lin Qi last year or Lin Ce the year before last, the Great Elder's performance was not unusual, why did he have a soft spot for Lin Xiao?

The intuition cultivated over the years told Lin Zhen that there must be something hidden in Lin Xiao. From his blockbuster today to the attitude of the Great Elder, this has been proved from the side.

After thinking for a while, Lin Zhen said cautiously: "In this matter, I think I should ask the opinion of the Great Elder." Wait here first, and I'll ask him for his opinion. ”

The crowd did not understand why such a trivial matter should be consulted by the Great Elder. However, when they thought of the Great Elder's attitude towards Lin Xiao in the morning, everyone was relieved again.

The Lin Clan's Martial Pavilion has four floors, and the top floor is the forbidden land of the Lin Clan, even the patriarch cannot enter. In the entire Lin clan, only the Great Elder Lin Kui could enter it. And Lin Kui lives there, guarding the entire Lin Clan Martial Pavilion.

Coming to the third floor of the Martial Pavilion, Lin Zhen said respectfully: "Great Elder, junior Lin Zhen has something to ask for advice. ”

In front of Lin Kui, Lin Zhen did not have the posture of a clan patriarch at all. Because, he knew the horror of the Great Elder.

Among the royal family, there is a guard team in the Wuge Heavy Land, and almost one-third of the royal family's masters are concentrated in the guard team. As for the Lin clan, there is only one person in charge of this task, but it is this person who makes the Lin clan's martial arts pavilion more impregnable than the royal family. This person is the Great Elder of the Lin Clan, Lin Kui.

Ten years ago, there was a martial arts level master who came here to steal the exercises, but was shocked to death by a roar. Other people may not know who the person who made the shot is, but Lin Zhen knows that that person is Lin Kui.

When he took over as the patriarch, the previous patriarch of the Lin clan left him a sentence that he still remembers.

"Among the Lin clan, there is one person who you must treat like a parent and treat him as a teacher, that is the Great Elder, who is the patron saint of our entire Lin clan. ”

Therefore, in front of the Great Elder, he has always been very respectful, and he will bow to the juniors when he asks to see him.

A moment later, an old voice came from the fourth floor of the Martial Pavilion. Although it has the strength of old age, it is full of energy.

"I know what you want to ask, in this regard, I only have one sentence, if the Lin clan wants to rise, they must keep Lin Xiao. ”
