Chapter 394: Regular Meeting of the Council of Elders
Chapter 394: Regular Meeting of the Council of Elders
Lin Zhongwei paid the gold coins to the martial artist of the Chiyang Royal Family who managed the teleportation array, and walked straight out of the teleportation hall.
"I haven't been back to Chiyang City in years. Lin Zhongwei took Qin Feng and Xuan Ying to walk on the spacious street, and while looking around, he sighed again and again, "In the past few years, Chiyang City has not changed much. Let's go, our Lin family has a mansion in Chiyang City, just east of the city. β
A wealthy family like the Lin family, in the mansion in Chiyang City, is just a faΓ§ade, the real power of the Lin family is the Lin manor on the outskirts of Chiyang City, surrounded by mountains and rivers and guarded by a large array, even if the Chiyang royal family sends troops to attack, it will be difficult to break through in a few months.
And the mansion in the city alone is enough to be called luxurious. Carved beams and painted buildings, green tiles and flying beetles, rockeries and flowing water, and so on.
Qin Feng followed Lin Zhongwei and walked into the Lin Mansion to rest for a night. The next day, the three of them went to the Lin manor, three hundred miles away on the outskirts of the city, to meet the other members of the elder group and participate in the elders' meeting.
When meeting with Luo Su, Qin Feng was not in a hurry. He had a hunch that the regular meeting of the Lin family's elder group would never be easy, so he had to cheer up and go to Luo Su after the regular meeting of the elder group was over.
In order to show the importance of Lin Zhongwei's brother, Lin Boheng personally led people out of the manor to greet him. After a pretentious pleasantry, the group walked to an attic in the manor.
Council Hall.
Lin Boheng, as the acting head of the family, first delivered a speech, welcoming Lin Zhongwei's arrival, and praised Lin Zhongwei's contribution to the Lin family in the gray area.
Lin Zhongwei's contribution is obvious to all, expelling the Gale Gang, the Five Poisons Sect and the Northern Plains Army, turning the Gray Domain into an almost iron plate. This kind of merit cannot be erased by anyone.
Several other family elders also echoed their words.
Qin Feng and Xuan Ying sat at the bottom. Qin Feng carefully looked at these people in the elder group, and according to their seats, he could probably deduce the ranking of these people in the Lin family elder group.
Lin Wenhan, the first elder, his eyes were slightly closed, he didn't say much, and he looked like he was wandering into the world. He didn't speak, and the few elders who were close to him didn't say much.
Lin Miansi sat in front of Qin Feng, as the eighth elder, he hadn't attended the regular meeting of the elder group for a long time. As if sensing Qin Feng's gaze, Lin Miansi looked sideways, his eyes revealing a cold color.
Qin Feng shrugged his shoulders and disagreed.
"Okay, about Zhong Wei's merits, that's it, I plan to advance Zhong Wei's ranking in the Elder Group by one place as a reward, what do you elders think?" Lin Boheng said.
Lin Zhongwei was originally the fifth elder, and if he mentioned one, he was the fourth elder. The original Fourth Elder, Lin Miao, looked a little unhappy, but he didn't speak.
Qin Feng heard Lin Zhongwei say that Lin Miao was an elder who was inclined to Lin Boheng's lineage. It seems that Lin Boheng took the initiative to take a small step back, and although the fourth and fifth rankings are only one place apart, they represent face.
Lin Zhongwei arched his hand and said lightly: "Being able to hold the foundation of Linlang Pavilion in the sudden attack of the Northern Plains Army, and counterattack back, my credit is actually very small, ranking one higher and one lower, it makes no difference to me." In my opinion, the family should still reward the truly meritorious people. In the months since joining Linlang Pavilion, the Wind Qin Soul Collector has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, defending Linlang Pavilion, expelling the Northern Plains Army, cracking the Five Poisons Sect, and building a teleportation array, all of which he has single-handedly completed. If we can let the Feng Qin Soul Scholar serve as the Great Elder of Linlang Pavilion, or even enter the Lin Family Elder Group, it will definitely be a great blessing for our Lin family. β
"A foreign surname, entering the Lin family elder group, Zhong Wei, you are too hasty, it is not feasible!" The original fourth elder, the current fifth elder Lin Miao, immediately sang the opposite tune.
The other elders spoke out one after another, mostly opposing Qin Feng's entry into the Lin Family Elders' Group.
Lin Zhongwei didn't insist on it, and continued: "In that case, I hope to let Feng Qin serve as the Great Elder of Linlang Pavilion and take over the position of Elder Lin Miansi. From all accounts, Elder Lin Miansi shouldn't continue to stay in Linlang Pavilion. I have reported all the mistakes he has made, and I ask you to judge them. β
Lin Zhongwei is retreating, since the elder group rejected Qin Feng's proposal to enter the elder group, then in order to compensate, it is not abrupt to let Qin Feng be the great elder of Linlang Pavilion.
"I'm against it. Lin Miansi said loudly.
"You object?" Lin Zhongwei snorted coldly, "Elder Mianhe, I would like to ask you, what kind of face do you have to object? If it weren't for Feng Qin's efforts to turn the tide, Linlang Pavilion would have been destroyed in the hands of You Jiang, whom you admired!"
"The old man admitted that the old man admitted that it was because I didn't know anyone. However, Feng Qin must not be suddenly promoted to the position of Great Elder!" Lin Miansi had already thought of his words, "Feng Qin has some skills, but his qualifications are shallow, and after joining the Linlang Pavilion, he has been repeatedly promoted unusually, even surpassing the old man who has joined the Linlang Pavilion for many years, which makes many soul people very angry in their hearts. You Jiang's betrayal at the beginning, in fact, was mainly because he couldn't get used to seeing Feng Qin riding on his head, and he was targeted by the pavilion master. Now that Feng Qin has been promoted again, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no other soul person in the future, and he will throw himself into the arms of the enemy! For the sake of the hearts of the Lin family, Qin Feng must not be given higher preferential treatment, and his current treatment beyond the specifications must also be canceled in order to be able to serve the public!"
Qin Feng heard this, and anger rose in his heart. This old guy, who is really old and immortal, is a thief, and actually pushed the reason for You Jiang's betrayal on his head.
Lin Boheng said: "What Elder Miansi said is not unreasonable. As far as I know, Feng Qin is now in Linlang Pavilion, and the amount of materials he withdraws every month is three or four times that of an ordinary third-order soul person! Such a generous treatment is inevitably too much, and it is no wonder that You Jiang has two hearts. In the long run, I'm afraid that another old man in Linlang Pavilion will also be dissatisfied. β
Seeing the other elders of the elder group, talking to each other and discussing a lot, Lin Zhongwei was furious in his heart: "You are jealous and jealous, Feng Qin obtained such treatment, he earned it by virtue of his ability! In Linlang Pavilion, whoever has half of Feng Qin's ability, I, the position of the pavilion master, can be conceded!"
"It's not necessarily possible to be jealous, but the heart to release people is indispensable. After all, Feng Qin is a foreign surname and is in a high position, who can guarantee that his elbow will not turn out?" said Fifth Elder Lin Miao.
Qin Feng's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and said coldly, "Let's be clear, what is the meaning of turning your elbow out?" From this Fifth Elder's words, Qin Feng smelled a hint of conspiracy.
