Lin Yi tilted his head and rubbed his ears. "I'm sorry, I was busy cooking just now and didn't hear what you were talking about. I wonder if anyone can help me repeat it?"
“……”
Everyone looked at the reckless Wu Gao and kept quiet out of fear.
The bloody lesson was right there. Did they really think that they were not afraid of death?
In the end, Qin Yitong was the first to react. He said with an ashen face,""You insolent bastard, do you really think that our Qin clan is trash that can be trampled on by anyone? Men, please worship!"
Lin Yi's palm landed on his face as he finished his sentence."Consecrated your mother, consecrated."
Looking at Qin Yitong, who had fallen to the ground in a sorry state, the entire place fell into a dead silence.
Not to mention the higher-ups, even Qin Qing himself was dumbfounded. He knew that Lin Yi was strong, but he didn't expect him to be this strong!
In the Qin family's territory, killing Wu Gao was nothing, but publicly smacking the Qin family's recognized future successor in the face was definitely the first time in history.
However, Lin Yi didn't really kill Qin Yitong.
It was one thing to slap his face in public, but it was another thing to beat him to death in public. If things really got to that point, he would really have to fight to the death with the Qin family.
"You actually dare to hit me?"
Qin Yitong was both shocked and furious. His face was filled with hatred."If I let you walk out of the Qin family alive today, I will not be called Qin Yitong! Consecrated, why aren't you moving!"
Lin Yi's strength was ridiculous, but he couldn't be compared to the true Masters of the Qin family. In his mind, Lin Yi would die as soon as the Masters made a move.
If it was before this, he might not have dared to make a move as he was wary of the other party's identity as Sea King. But now, even he, the young master, was being stepped on, so it was perfectly justified for the consecrated to make a move!
However, after a few seconds, nothing happened.
Everyone could not help but look at each other.
The consecrated experts were constantly patrolling the entire Qin clan. It was impossible for them to not notice such a huge commotion.
If they still hadn't made a move even now, it meant that it wasn't that they didn't want to make a move, but that they couldn 't!
"Impossible! That's impossible!"
Worshiping an expert was Qin Yitong's last trump card. At this moment, he thought of a terrifying possibility and instantly became hysterical.
Lin Yi, however, had anticipated this. He looked down at the heir of the Qin family.
"Even your old Madam is polite to me. Who Do You Think You Are? how dare you criticize me?"
In short, it was a heart-wrenching murder.
Although Lin Yi wouldn't really kill him, his words were like killing someone's heart when they fell into Qin Yitong's ears.
It was not until this moment that everyone present finally began to realize that the king of the sea was an existence on the same level as the royal families of the four Seas. Even if the entire Qin family was tied together, they were still ranked behind him.
Not to mention, he was just a future successor who didn't even have a real title.
Today's battle was unfair from the start, but they thought that Lin Yi wasn't qualified to be on the same level as Qin Yitong. They only realized now that it was the opposite!
Although Qin Yitong's heart had already sunk to the bottom, he was still unconvinced.""You reckless dog! You only have an empty title to deceive yourself and others. Do you really think you can threaten our Qin family?"
He didn't know who stopped the consecrated, but he firmly believed that Lin Yi wasn't qualified to be on the same level as house Qin.
Lin Yi sat down on him and looked at him like he was an idiot."Heh, if I only had an empty title, would I be sitting here safe and sound?"
“……”
Qin Yitong immediately choked. However, he still said with certainty,""You're just bluffing. It's going to be your unlucky day soon!"
His only thought right now was to stall Lin Yi. As long as he was still in the Qin family, he would be exposed and he would be able to take revenge!
Lin Yi smiled and ignored him. He turned to the higher-ups."Do you all think so too?"
Everyone was speechless.
To be honest, many of them really thought so. After all, it was impossible for a newly-promoted Sea King to hold any real power according to common sense, especially when he was from a pure grassroots background.
No matter which angle they looked at it from, they did not think that the other party had the capital to threaten the Qin family's material interests.
But Lin Yi's fearless attitude made their hearts beat faster-he couldn't be bluffing, could he?
How many lives does this guy have to be able to extort the Qin family so blatantly?
"Then let's wait. I think we'll have a result very soon."
Lin Yi said as he sat down.
Everyone was left looking at each other again. What was the result?
What they didn't know was that at this moment, their clan head, Qin Kaiyun, was in their grandmother's study. The two people who held the highest authority in the Qin clan were having a discussion.
It was a meeting that could decide the fate of the entire Qin family.
Qin Kaiyun sat down and looked at his mother with a complicated expression. He wanted to say something, but he hesitated.
In terms of affection, no one in the entire Qin family had a deeper relationship than him. However, ever since he took the position of the family head, their relationship had inevitably become more and more distant.
This wasn't strange. His mother's influence on the entire family was too great. If he wanted to sit firmly in his position as the family head, he had to break out of this natural shackle.
Fortunately, ever since the Qin family's old grandmother retreated behind the scenes, she had always maintained a great deal of restraint.
Therefore, although they were still restrained by some invisible obstacles, at least in the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between the mother and son was still considered harmonious.
But today, their tacit understanding was broken.
Qin Kaiyun pondered for a moment, then slowly said,""Mother, the future head of the family must be the eldest. This is not only my bottom line, but also the bottom line of the entire Qin family."
"Why?" the Qin family's old grandmother looked at him.
"Because only he can truly gather the power of the entire family," Qin Kaiyun said seriously."If second brother takes the position, he won't be able to make everyone respect him. Our Qin family will be a pile of loose sand."
"When I took over the Qin family back then, I was also a pile of loose sand."
The Qin family's old grandmother's words made Qin Kaiyun choke. He said indifferently,""If you think that you can catch everyone with a net and make them all United, then I'm very disappointed."
Qin Kaiyun was silent for a moment, but he still insisted,""However, if second brother takes the position, the family is bound to be divided. The situation outside is treacherous, and we can't afford to be careless. We can't take this risk."
The Qin family's old grandmother looked at him with a calm expression.""Continue,"
"This Lin Yi's intentions are clear-the same as last time with the order of shirking grace-he's trying to split us up, to create cracks within our ranks so he can do whatever he wants."
Qin Kaiyun immediately voiced his suspicions,""There were many suspicious points about second brother's assassination last time. Although the spearhead was pointed at big brother, both mother and I know that this matter could not have been done by big brother.
It's hard to say that this King hai hai has nothing to do with his sudden appearance. "
