As soon as the Lin family in Yanjing came out of the other courtyard.
Tantai Mieming stood in front of the window sill with his hands behind his back, frowning as he looked at the pounding rain outside.
Not far behind him, an old man who looked to be in his seventies was standing with a bow, wearing a gray robe with the word "Tantai" embroidered on the sleeves.
"Master, just now the young master of the Lin family came to ask what else is needed to activate the life and death formation, so that he can find someone to prepare all these materials."
The old man coughed a few times and said immediately.
"This kid from the Lin family really treats me as a fool. How could I not understand his frivolous ways?"
In front of the window sill, Tantai Mieming's expression changed slightly, with a playful smile on his face, and he slowly turned around.
"Just tell them that everything is ready and can be activated at any time. But ask him, is he able to bear the consequences of launching the life and death formation?"
"In the huge Yanjing City, once the life and death formation is really launched, all life will really be in ruins."
As he spoke, Tantai Mie was obviously a little disappointed. There were many things he didn't want to do.
For example, when setting up the life and death formation this time, he would never do it according to his own wishes. The Lin family owes a great debt to the Tantai family, so he can only agree to it.
"But yesterday, you told Mr. Lin that you still lacked a lot of materials. Is it inappropriate to say so today?"
The slave behind him was slightly stunned when he heard Tantai Mieming's words and didn't understand what his intention was.
"It doesn't matter, just do as I say, go ahead."
"Yes, Master!"
Seeing that Tantai Mieming didn't want to say anything, as a domestic slave he couldn't ask any more questions, so he bowed and agreed, and then withdrew.
Shortly after the house slave left, Tantai Mieming turned around and walked into the room, arriving in front of the teahouse.
"Everyone has left, are you going to continue hiding behind the screen? You and I haven't seen each other for more than 20 years. Life is really going very fast these days."
Tantai Mieming said these words to the air, and not long after, a figure appeared behind the screen not far from the window.
"Should I call you Rentu, or Ye Zhiqiu?"
"It's up to you. Anyway, it's all about me."
With lazy steps, Ye Zhiqiu walked over with his hands in his pockets, and then sat directly opposite Tantai Mieming.
"Still living at home like a second generation ancestor?"
Looking up at Ye Zhiqiu, Tantai Mieming began to make tea.
"What else can you do if you don't become the second generation ancestor?"
He chuckled lightly and said, "It's not a wise move for you to stay away from Shennongjia and come to Yanjing to wade through the muddy waters."
Taking the cup of tea handed over by Tantai Mieming, Ye Zhiqiu took a sip and then took a sip.
"You can't help yourself when you are in the world! Although I don't move around in the secular world, I think you should also know some of the connections between my Tantai family and the Lin family. If someone comes to visit me, can I hide?"
While saying this, Tantai Mieming looked at Ye Zhiqiu.
"You are quite ruthless. I just set up the formation and you discovered it."
"I don't have the ability. It's just that the thing you created is too eye-catching. The battle of life and death. Do you want to kill everyone in Yanjing?"
Looking at the other party coldly, Ye Zhiqiu asked.
"Do you think I can?"
"You're already doing it!"
"Yes, I'm already doing it. But this is not what I want."
"You didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of you. Don't you understand this?"
"Of course I understand. Do you think the Lin family will end up in a dead end?"
Looking at Ye Zhiqiu with sideways eyes, Tantai Mieming asked again.
"The Lin family may not know it, but Lin Xu can!"
"What's the meaning?"
"Lin Xu is in charge of the Lin family. He will do this. As for the other members of the Lin family, I don't know. I am not a Lin family member."
"If the entire Lin family disagrees, I don't think Lin Xu would dare to make his own decision, right? Besides, I still need to activate this life and death formation."
"My Tantai family doesn't want to go on the road of genocide, so I know very well whether certain things should be done or not."
He chuckled lightly, "What happened last night hit the Lin family hard. If I guessed correctly, someone in the Lin family is trying to force Lin Xu to have a baby."
"Oh? Lin Xu has always been the leader in the Lin family. Does anyone dare to challenge him?"
Ye Zhiqiu was a little surprised.
There are not many talented people in this generation of the Lin family. It seems that only Lin Xu is talented among the direct descendants. As for others who can compete with Lin Xu, it seems that they have not yet been discovered.
"This is actually quite strange to me. No one dared to covet Lin Xu's status before, but recently I heard that Lin Ziming seems to be getting bolder and bolder, and there is a rumor circulating in the Lin family."
"rumor?"
"That's right. I think it's impossible that the Ye family's intelligence network doesn't know this news. Or is this news originally released by you?"
Tantai Mieming looked at Ye Zhiqiu with a bit of amusement in his eyes.
In fact, he was a little surprised when he learned the news at first.
The Lin family is actually not the Lin family, and the best person in the Lin family is someone else's bastard.
This is quite a scandal.
"Then do you think this news is credible?"
Here, Ye Zhiqiu also asked with a soft smile.
"It can't be groundless, especially at this juncture. I investigated Lin Xu's mother. Before Lin Xu's father died twenty-five years ago, he was seriously injured and lost his fertility. That is,
He said that this Lin Xu could not be the child of Lin Xu’s father and his mother. As for whether he was the child of the Lin family or the woman’s union with someone else, it is unknown.”
"You should have known this for a long time, right?"
"So what if I know? The big family has never allowed any scandals to appear, let alone this kind of scandal? With the hostile relationship between my Ye family and the Lin family, even if I have the evidence, no one will believe it!"
"So, do you really know?"
Tantai Mieming raised his eyebrows and his eyes lit up.
"Some things are just pretending to be confused, but you should know better. The tea is good, but it's a pity that I'm not in the mood to drink more."
Ye Zhiqiu stood up.
"I think you should know the purpose of my coming to you, and I want you to give me a definite answer."
"Don't you already know the answer?" With a gentle smile, Tantai Mieming also stood up.
"My Tantai family repays kindness and complains. This time the life and death formation has been arranged, which can be regarded as repaying the last kindness of the Lin family. Back then, my father persuaded the old man of the Lin family, but he did not listen and made a big mistake. Today
, for the sake of the older generation, we cannot watch the Lin family be ruined in the hands of a bastard who is not a Lin family member."
"Do you want to keep the Lin family?"
"It's not that I want to keep the Lin family, I want to save the Lin family, but it also depends on what you want."
"Let me tell you, this is very difficult! Regardless of whether Lin Xu is a member of the Lin family or not, they are now tied together. The Lin family is very angry. If you want to protect them, it will be difficult for you to rely solely on the strength of the Tantai family."
