"Yes. Gu Crocodile immediately replied: "Gongzi's original actions basically broke the balance of the upper echelons of the Heavenly Star Empire for decades, and now there are undercurrents surging inside and outside the imperial capital. ”

"The power of the Lin family was originally above several major families, the prestige of the head of the family, Lin Tianxiao, in the empire even exceeded that of the royal family, the old protégés were all over the government and the opposition, and the three sons Lin Kecheng, Lin Keluo, and Lin Kezhi all held real power in the army, and there were descendants of Lin Feng who were so outstanding. Now, coupled with the strong rise of Gongzi, the Lin family has become the target of public criticism. Now the imperial capital is calm on the surface, but there are undercurrents moving underground. The Ma family, the Zhang family, and the Zhou family have frequent private contacts, and even Sima Zhengyang has entered the palace many times to face the saint, and the Dongfang family and the Situ family have little movement but have private contacts. ”

After Lin Zhan listened, he asked, "What about the royal family?"

"Among the major forces, it is the royal family that reacts the most calmly, and no one has inquired about Gongzi's situation at present. ”

Lin Zhan sneered after hearing this: "If you don't investigate, it means that people have already finished investigating or you haven't found out, but there is such a force under your feet that is not under your control and monitoring, and no king will sleep steadily." ”

Gu Crocodile was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly pleaded guilty: "The subordinates are careless." ”

Lin Zhan waved his hand and didn't blame him, after all, the other party was the Heavenly Star Royal Family, and it was really so easy to deal with it, and it would have been destroyed a long time ago, and it could be left to this day.

What was Liu Xiang's reaction. ”

Gu Crocodile replied: "Liu Xiang locked himself in his residence and claimed that he had thought about it behind closed doors, and he hadn't left the palace for three months, but his subordinates estimated that it wouldn't take long for him to come to the door to apologize." ”

Gu Crocodile's eyes flashed with excitement, which puzzled Wu Tian and the others.

Lin Zhan smiled indifferently and hesitated slightly before asking, "What is the reaction within the Lin family?"

Gu Crocodile's eyes lit up, knowing that today's drama was coming, and immediately replied: "The Lin family has been extremely low-key during this time, all the main personnel have returned to their homes, closed their doors, refused all visitors, and did not participate in any state affairs, as if they had suddenly faded out of the Tianxing political arena. ”

"I know all of this, is there anything else?" Lin Zhan interrupted Gu Crocodile and asked.

Gu Crocodile glanced up at Lin Zhan's expression slightly, carefully observing every change on Lin Zhan's face: "Miss Lin Ling has also stayed in her room during this time and has not gone out, as if nothing had happened. ”

"Hmm. Lin Zhan replied lightly, without the slightest change on his face.

"Miss Lin Yu followed the king's order to cultivate in the underground secret room, and there was no change in the slightest. ”

"Yes. Lin Zhan lazily moved his neck, and his eyes inadvertently glanced at Gu Crocodile.

Gu Crocodile was startled and hurriedly lowered his head, feeling a gaze lingering on him for a moment, and then moved over, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Crocodile was sure that those two sentences just now were what Lin Zhan wanted to know most about this inquiry, so he couldn't help but want to secretly observe Lin Zhan, which one of Lin Ling or Lin Yu weighed heavily in his heart.

With the crocodile's dexterity, this kind of thing must be clarified, otherwise it will be fatal at some point.

But what Gu Crocodile didn't know was that when he lowered his head, there was a sharp gaze in Lin Zhan's eyes.

Just when Gu Crocodile had just breathed a sigh of relief, a loud voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Lin Zhan, Lin Zhan, you're here, I have something important to tell you. ”

The sound came suddenly, and before everyone could react, the door was pushed open with a "clang".

A slightly thin figure, but with a pair of sharp, bloodthirsty eyes like a wild wolf, exuding a wild aura all over his body, appeared at the door. As soon as Gu Crocodile and the others saw this figure, their eyes suddenly shrank, and a kind of fear from the heart surged up, making several people gasp unconsciously.

This figure is currently the strongest under Lin Zhan, the only honorable powerhouse, the emperor of the wolf clan, the white-fronted wolf king - the forest wolf.

The forest wolf has just broken through the supreme level and is not stable, and its own momentum is uncontrollably emanated, coupled with the bloodthirstiness and cruelty in the bones of the spirit beast. Gu Crocodile and the others were so overwhelmed by this ghost-like momentum that they couldn't breathe, and hurriedly retreated to Lin Zhan.

The wolf didn't care about Gu Crocodile's posture like a great enemy, and he smiled in front of Lin Zhan.

"Lin Zhan, I want to discuss something with you. ”

Because of the relationship between the soul contract, the momentum of the forest wolf had no effect on Lin Zhan. Lin Zhan leaned back in his chair and asked, "What's the matter?"

The wolf grinned, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Zhan: "I want to leave for a while?"

"Yes. You're going to be away for a long time, and I have to arrange some things in advance. ”

Lin Zhan replied without hesitation.

Lin Wolf was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Half a year." ”

"Good. ”

Lin Zhan's happy tone surprised Lin Wolf: "You agreed like this, but I have to leave for half a year." ”

"During this period of time, the Lin family is generally calm inside and outside, and I am in the Lin family again, and your absence does not have much impact. ”

"Then you don't want to know what I'm leaving for?"

"You are leaving now for private matters, why are you so clear when I ask you about your private affairs?"

Lin Wolf's eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was a little low: "Then you are not afraid of me running away." ”

Hearing this, Lin Zhan was a little surprised, looked up at the forest wolf for a while, and said with a smile: "Will you run?"

The wolf's face was a little gloomy, and he didn't say a word.

There is a soul contract between Lin Zhan and the forest wolf, and the forest wolf has no ability to escape at all.

In the world of spirit beasts, the law of survival is the law of survival, and there is nothing to say about it. Not to mention following Lin Zhan, a former god.

But it's one thing to be genuinely attached, it's another thing to be controlled by others.

Lin Wolf is grateful to Lin Zhan for helping him break through the bottleneck, so that he can survive the thunder tribulation and transform into a human, and he also sincerely follows Lin Zhan. But the restraint of the soul has become a knot in the heart of the forest wolf, who naturally likes freedom.

No one likes to be controlled. Even if this person is a person to whom he is truly loyal.

Lin Zhan looked at Lin Wolf, and suddenly smiled and put down the things in his hand: "Lin Wolf, I know what you are thinking, let me make it clear first, I put soul restraint on you, it's not that I can't trust you or want to control you, but I can't tolerate the slightest mistake now." Do you understand when I say that?"

Lin Lang frowned and didn't say a word.

Lin Zhan didn't care about Lin Zhan's attitude towards the forest wolf, "You have been here for a few months, so you should be clear about the situation of the Lin family." ”

Timber Wolf nodded.

"The Lin family is now hard to return, whether in the government or in the opposition, its influence is surprisingly great, which is intolerable to anyone in power. But now even if the Lin family wants to retreat bravely, it is already impossible, and the impact caused by the Lin family's retreat is also unbearable for anyone in power. Therefore, if the people in power want to reassure themselves, they can only use various methods to suppress and weaken the Lin family until the Lin family reaches a point that he can accept. As for how much damage the Lin family will suffer in this process, it is not something they will consider at all. ”

"And what I have to do now is to try my best to protect the Lin family and not let anyone in the Lin family be harmed. In this case, I will inevitably clash with the rulers of the Celestial Star Empire, so I must assemble a sufficient force to deal with everything. And you are the most powerful existence in my force at the moment, and I must ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”

When the wolf heard this, he became even more excited, "You have been very kind to me, and I naturally want to repay you." Although I am a spirit animal, I also know about Entu. Your enemies, without your command, are my enemies as well. I will never betray you. If you really trust me, untie my soul. ”

Lin Zhan shook his head, "You still don't understand, it's not a matter of trust or distrust. Because I have to face not only opponents outside the Lin family, but also people within the Lin family. ”

Lin Wolf was puzzled, "Aren't you trying to protect the Lin family, why do you want to target the Lin family?"

"Because the people I want to protect, but they oppose what I do. ”
