Lin Xiaochuan's eyes widened: "Presumptuous!" My Lin family pays attention to blood identity, not identity. The 5th head of the family, Lin Nanshan, was also an illegitimate child. The tablet of his old man is also enshrined in the ancestral temple. Are you secretly scolding him for being an old man?! In such a sacred place as the ancestral temple, you slandered our ancestors, Lin Zhongtian, you are really bold, who is your guts?! ”

Lin Xiaochuan's face was solemn, and his tone was sharp.

Lin Zhongtian's face turned pale by Lin Xiaochuan's sharp questioning, and he subconsciously took a few steps back, for fear of angering the ancestors of the Lin family here.

Among the successive heads of the Lin family, there is really an illegitimate child.

The 5th head of the family, Lin Nanshan, was born to a son of the Lin family and a maid in the house.

When he was a child, Lin Nanshan and his biological mother were kicked out of the Lin family.

However, Lin Nanshan's business talent is extremely high, and it coincides with the Age of Discovery, and many great opportunities have emerged in this magnificent era.

And Lin Nanshan just seized this rare opportunity and became the overlord of maritime commerce, and he even had a powerful maritime fleet.

The business of the Lin family in Sky Island mainly relies on overseas markets, but the sea area around Sky Island is controlled by Lin Nanshan, which is equivalent to being choked by Lin Nanshan.

At that time, Sky Island sent someone to negotiate with Lin Nanshan, and Lin Nanshan's request was to depose the current head of the family.

This offer was rejected by the Isle of Skye.

After that, Lin Nanshan was also lazy to negotiate again, he led the army to capture Sky Island strongly, personally deposed the head of the family at that time, and established himself as the head of the family.

This is the first time that the Lin family of Sky Island has changed their own lineage.

Lin Xiaochuan's fierce reprimand made the five elders a little surprised.

They thought that this unattractive guy looked mediocre in all aspects, but they didn't expect it to be so strong.

Originally, I thought that he had no aura, but at this moment, Lin Xiaochuan's aura was full of energy, and even the five great elders who were used to seeing big scenes had some heart palpitations.

"Ahem, okay, in front of the ancestors, neither of you is allowed to be presumptuous." One of the Great Elders named Lin Wenqing hurriedly said.

Lin Xiaochuan glanced at Lin Wenqing, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Elder Wenqing, it was Lin Zhongtian who provoked me first. Originally, it is not a bad thing for the children of the family to compete, and only when young people compete will the family have vitality. But if competition is built on humiliating opponents, I personally think it's very inferior. If the family connived at this unhealthy trend, then the Lin family's five-hundred-year inheritance would probably be ruined. ”

On the way here, Lin Xiaochuan had already obtained the information of the five elders from Link and knew that this great elder's name was Lin Wenqing.

Lin Wenqing raised his eyebrows, surprised in his heart.

These five elders have extraordinary influence within the family, and generally speaking, candidates for heirs like this will do everything they can to please them when they see them.

And this Lin Xiaochuan is not.

His attitude was humble, but not flattering.

Lin Wenqing's impression of Lin Xiaochuan in his heart has changed greatly.

A person who does not have his own bottom line and principles and can only engage in speculation will not achieve anything even if he sits in the position of head of the family.

To put it mildly, there are many mediocre people among the ancestors of the family heads enshrined in this ancestral temple.

The Lin family has been inherited for five hundred years, and there have been three family infighting, all of which were caused by the mediocrity and uselessness of the head of the family at that time.

In Lin Wenqing's heart, including the current head of the family, Lin Yi, is also such a mediocre and useless person.

That Lin Yi was bent on women, and he had no intention of running the family at all, causing the family to be disheartened. Xuancheng's vein is even more imminent. The Lin family is facing the fourth family infighting. ”

Lin Wenqing knew very well in his heart that once the heir was selected this time, the Xuancheng family would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble.

Sighing lightly, Lin Wenqing collected his emotions, glared at Lin Zhongtian and said, "Zhongtian, if I listen to you mention the illegitimate child again, don't blame me for being rude." ”

Seeing that Lin Wenqing was a little angry, Lin Zhongtian hurriedly said, "Elder Wenqing, I was wrong. ”

"Alright, you two should incense your ancestors." Lin Wenqing said leisurely: "There are gods three feet above your head, in front of your ancestors, you should be sincere and spiritual, don't have any crooked thoughts." ”

Lin Zhongtian was shocked in his heart, looking at the statue of Lin Fengxian, the ancestor of the Lin family, a flash of fear flashed in his eyes, and instead of stepping forward, he actually took a step back.

He knew that he didn't have the blood of the Lin family, and there were ghosts in his heart, and in this Lin family's ancestral temple, Lin Zhongtian actually began to be afraid.

Lin Xiaochuan glanced at Lin Zhongtian and said lightly: "Since Brother Zhongtian doesn't want to come first, then I'll put on the incense first." ”

He stepped forward, took nine sticks of incense, lit them, and then knelt down, with a reverent expression, and bowed three times and nine times.

Even if Lin Wenqing is picky, he can't find anything wrong.

"This Lin Xiaochuan doesn't seem to have a strong sense of the Lin family's belonging, but when he worships his ancestors, he is serious and pious."

This is not Lin Xiaochuan's deliberate acting.

He is indeed dissatisfied with Lin Yi and the current Lin family, but this ancestral temple is dedicated to the ancestors of the Lin family, and it is also his old ancestor.

The old ancestor didn't feel sorry for himself, and Lin Xiaochuan naturally wouldn't take his temper out on the old ancestor.

All in all, Lin Wenqing now likes Lin Xiaochuan more and more.

Although the other four Great Elders did not appreciate Lin Xiaochuan as much as Lin Wenqing, their impression of Lin Xiaochuan had also changed a lot.

Lin Xiaochuan finished worshipping for a long time, and Lin Zhongtian had not yet started worshipping.

Lin Wenqing frowned slightly: "Young Master Zhongtian, it's your turn." ”

"Oh, I know, I'm thinking of words..."

"Don't think about anything, be sincere."

"Thank you Elder Wenqing for the point."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Lin Zhongtian had no choice but to come to the statue of the ancestor.

As soon as he stood in his position, before he began to kneel and worship, a large dark cloud suddenly drifted from the originally clear sky, directly covering the sun.

Although it was just a natural phenomenon, it scared Lin Zhongtian.

He already had a ghost in his heart, and when he saw this 'unnatural phenomenon', he was very nervous.

"Huh?" Lin Xiaochuan frowned slightly, and suddenly said loudly: "Lin Zhongtian, what are you nervous about?" ”

"Who... Who says I'm nervous? I just don't know what to say to my ancestors. Lin Zhongtian said stubbornly.

Lin Wenqing also frowned slightly, obviously his impression of Lin Zhongtian had declined a lot.

"Let's get started." Lin Wenqing said again.

Lin Zhongtian glanced up at the statue of the ancestor Lin Fengxian, and the more he looked at it, the more furious his heart became.

This Lin Zhongtian has nothing to do except for some business talents, and his heart is even inferior to his younger brother Lin Zhongyun.

If Lin Zhongtian was here, even if he had a ghost in his heart, he would definitely not show too much.

And Lin Zhongtian's submissive appearance made his impression in the hearts of the five great elders plummet.

In the end, another Great Elder named Lin Shen couldn't help but say, "Lin Zhongtian, are you hiding something from us?" So so scared in front of the ancestors. ”
