The Lin family mansion is located by an artificial lake in the western suburbs of Binhai. It covers an area of 100 acres, which is equivalent to the size of ten football fields.
Fifty years ago, the Lin family had this old house confiscated due to some political issues. It was not purchased back until ten years ago. At that time, almost all the Lin family's savings were spent.
In addition to the huge front courtyard, the Lin family mansion also has a back mountain.
This was just a small mountain with an altitude of less than 60 meters. At that time, the mountain was surrounded by many buildings and a martial arts arena.
The Lin family is not large, with less than twenty members in the direct line, and only one hundred members including side branches.
Compared with other hidden ancient clans, the Lin family's population has indeed declined.
Those side branches all live in the Qianfu compound and are responsible for some maintenance and life work of the Lin family mansion.
The direct descendants live on the hill. In addition, there are also some young disciples from the side branches, most of whom are rising stars with good martial arts talents.
Ye Fan's visit to Lin Moyao caused quite a stir in the Lin family mansion.
Everyone was in awe and jealous of him.
Originally, the Lin family finally showed signs of revival. It was because of Ye Fan that the Lin family was restricted everywhere in Binhai.
Although the death of the ancestor of the Lin family and the head of the family, Lin Mokun, was not directly related to Ye Fan, the trigger of the war between the Blood Demon Sect and the martial arts was still Ye Fan! It was he who destroyed the Tianshan Palace and destroyed the major branches of the Blood Demon Sect. , which intensified the conflict between the two parties.
Otherwise, the Blood Demon Sect and Xia Guo Martial Arts would probably have a buffer period of several decades.
By that time, the Lin family will definitely not be in the situation it is today! Of course, these are just the thoughts of the following branches.
Lin Moyao and others were still in awe of Ye Fan.
After all, Ye Fan is now recognized as the number one person in the Xia Kingdom, and he is also the person in charge of Binhai Martial Arts recognized by the military region.
Regardless of personal strength or official background, the Lin family is not something that can be offended.
Therefore, Lin Moyao went out to greet him in the first family and led him to the reception hall on the mountain.
In the reception hall, in addition to Lin Moyao, there was also Lin Xuanyi's father, Lin Tanzhi! Ye Fan was very impressed by Lin Tanzhi.
When he had a grudge against the Nanjiang Wu family, Lin Mokun sent Lin Moyao and Lin Tanzhi to cause trouble for him.
It was Lin Tanzhi who took it upon himself to cut off the meridians in both arms.
If his cousin hadn't appeared in time, I might have really been ruined! Later, Ye Fan became stronger. Although he didn't take the initiative to cause trouble for the Lin family, he never forgot his hatred for the Lin family.
There were more than a dozen people standing or walking in the hall, most of them were elderly people.
Ye Fan had just sat down and before the Lin family served tea, he suddenly heard two figures running out of the back hall.
"Brother Ye!"
"Brother Ye!"
Ye Fan looked up and saw Lin Xuanyu and Lin Pingxuan looking happy.
Lin Tanzhi frowned and shouted in a low voice: "Xuan Yu, Xuan Xuan, this is not a place for you, go back to the backyard!"
"Dad..." Lin Mingxuan lowered her head and stopped walking.
"Uncle, my cousin and I came to see Brother Ye. We just stood aside and said nothing."
Lin Xuanyu said with a smile.
"No matter how big or small, go back quickly!"
Lin Tanzhi continued to drink.
"What are you doing?"
Ye Fan crossed his legs and held a cigarette in his mouth, "Lin Tanzhi, do you have a role to speak here?"
"Ye Fan!"
Lin Tanzhi gritted his teeth secretly, "This is my Lin family, and you are a guest. Don't interfere in our family's affairs!"
"hehe!"
Ye Fan curled his lips, patted the two empty chairs next to him, and said to Lin Pingxuan and Lin Xuanyu: "Come and sit!"
"This..." Lin Xuanyu sighed slightly when he saw that his uncle seemed very angry. Hearing Ye Fan ask them to sit over, he was extremely confused.
The hatred between Brother Ye and his uncle has been around for a long time.
Strictly speaking, Brother Ye actually doesn't hold any grudge, but the uncle has always been aggrieved.
"Frankly, don't say anything."
Lin Moyao waved to Lin Tanzhi and looked at Lin Mingxuan and Lin Xuanyu, "Since Mr. Ye has spoken, you two can sit down."
"yes!"
"Thank you, Grandpa Second!"
Lin Pingxuan and Lin Xuanyu were overjoyed and ran to stand next to Ye Fan.
They both didn't have the guts to sit down.
Because the hall was full of their elders, there were only five or six people who could sit down, and everyone else had to stand.
Ye Fan did not force them, but smiled to himself: "Xuan Yu, I heard that you are very popular in Fudan! Why haven't you gone to see Wan Wan recently?
Are you two having a conflict?"
"No, no."
Lin Xuanyu shook his head, "Brother Ye, you also know what the situation is now.
I used to go to see her every few days, but recently...well, Wanwan must hate me to death!"
Recently, Xia Guo's martial arts are all ready to go out, ready to encircle and suppress the Blood Demon Sect. This is the order issued by Ye Fan and Xun Yi.
Although the Lin family was reclusive before, Lin Xuanyu was still outside taking care of business.
But since a month ago, he has never left the Lin family's door.
As for Lin Pingxuan, it will take even longer.
She estimated that she had been staying in the Lin family mansion for half a year.
"It's okay. She is staying at my house recently and plays with your sister-in-law and Yiyi every day. She is not lonely either."
Ye Fan smiled and looked at Lin Qixuan: "Xiao Xuan, if you feel bored staying at home, come and stay with me for a while."
"ah?"
Lin Meixuan's face turned red and she looked at Lin Tanzhi expectantly.
Lin Tanzhi shot back an angry look, which made her face look bitter.
"Brother Ye, I...I'd better stay at home."
"Don't worry about your dad, he hates me so much!"
Ye Fan didn't take it seriously and laughed loudly, "Lin Tanzhi, why are you so prejudiced against me?
When it comes to hatred, I hate you anyway! When you broke my arms and ruined my martial arts, if I hadn't been blessed with great fortune, I would have been dead long ago! Not only did you have no intention of repenting, but you just
By hating me again and again, do you really think I dare not do anything to you?"
"Ye Fan!"
Lin Tanzhi shouted angrily: "If it weren't for you, how could my father die?
How could Xuanyi die?
Even if you have contributed to Xia Guo’s martial arts, you will be Lin Tan’s lifelong enemy to me!”
"Pull some eggs!"
Ye Fan raised his middle finger, "Who said Lin Xuanyi is dead?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.
Lin Tanzhi was stunned, and then shouted angrily: "Ye Fan, don't think we are idiots! It has been a year since Xuanyi was kidnapped by the Blood Demon Sect..." "Correction, Lin Xuanyi voluntarily joined Shen Biqiong into the Blood Demon Sect.
Zong, it has nothing to do with me."
Ye Fan crossed his arms and took out a few letters from the space stone: "That's right, I'm here to tell you about this today!"
He threw the letter to Lin Moyao, "Read it for yourself!"
Lin Moyao opened the letter, glanced at it, and said happily: "Yes, it's Xuan Yi's handwriting!"
Lin Tanzhi stood up suddenly, stepped forward quickly, took the letter from Lin Moyao, and read it carefully.
His expression was overjoyed at first, but soon became complicated.
After a while, he looked at Mark seriously: "What...what does this mean?
How did Xuan Yi become the Holy Son of the Blood Demon Sect?
!”
"Don't ask me, it's his own choice."
Ye Fan snorted slightly: "However, Lin Xuanyi is the most courageous person in your Lin family.
In order to revive the Lin family, he joined the Blood Demon Sect and agreed to cooperate with me for some time.
Although we have not been in contact during this period, and I cannot guarantee his condition, I can be sure that with Lin Xuanyi's ability and cleverness, he will never lose his life so easily!"
"Xuan Yi is cooperating with you?"
Lin Tanzhi's eyes widened.
He always thought that Lin Xuanyi betrayed the Xia Kingdom's martial arts for Dong Yuejun.
I never thought that my son would break into the Blood Demon Sect in order to cooperate with Ye Fan! "Not bad!"
Ye Fan nodded and sneered: "Lin Xuanyi is many times greater than you guys! He does not care about his personal safety and reputation for the sake of Xia Guo martial arts and the people of the world.
But what about your Lin family?
He just died of an ancestor who was ten times the limit, so he felt sorry for himself, panicked, and even couldn't escape from the world, so he became a coward!"
Ye Fan made everyone in the Lin family blush, but could not refute.
"Also...let me reveal something more to you.
Lin Xuanyi has obtained the inheritance of the Holy Son, and his strength has increased by leaps and bounds, reaching ten times the limit!"
Ye Fan once again dropped a bombshell.
"What?
!”
Lin Moyao gasped and stood up from the chair with a snap, "Ye Fan, you...are you telling the truth?"
Ten times the limit, for a hidden ancient clan, is a great wealth! The reason why the Lin family has shrunk is because their ancestor, the ten times the limit, died. In the coastal world, they no longer have the prestige to suppress other martial arts families.
Not only that, their status in the Huagu Secret Realm has also plummeted, and they are likely to withdraw from the ranks of the hidden ancient clan.
They never expected that their grandson would reach ten times the limit! You know, he was only in his twenties and had already reached such a realm. So wouldn't it be possible for him to even reach the divine martial realm in the future?
"Don't be too happy too soon! Although this kind of inheritance can temporarily improve the realm, for warriors, it also restricts future development.
No matter how outstanding Lin Xuanyi's martial arts talent is, if he reaches the divine martial realm, he has reached his limit."
Ye Fan chuckled.
This sentence was harsh, but in Lin Moyao's ears, it was very comforting.
The Divine Martial Realm is enough! How many Divine Martial Realms are there in the entire Huagu Secret Realm?
It is definitely the first time in a thousand years that the Lin family has reached the divine martial realm! Lin Tanzhi was originally full of joy, but when he heard Ye Fan pouring cold water on him, he couldn't help but hum and said: "Ye Fan, don't take advantage of me and still be good.
Who doesn’t know about Xia Guo’s martial arts that you have the inheritance from the Three Cities of Ancient Hua Secret Realm?
According to you, your martial arts has almost reached the end!"
"It's different. Although I took the inheritance from these three cities, I never integrated it into my own cultivation, let alone used the power of inheritance to improve my cultivation."
Ye Fan grinned: "My strength is all obtained by my own cultivation!"
"..." Lin Tanzhi was indignant and had nothing to say.
Lin Moyao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Ye, you are not just here to reveal the news about Xuan Yi to us, are you?"
"of course not."
Ye Fan shook his head and whispered: "I need your Lin family to lend me the ancient clan summoning order!"
"Um?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present changed their expressions.
