After entering the mansion, Lin Xiaotian personally arranged a quiet place for Qin Feng and Li Ye, and left in a hurry on the pretext that he had important matters.
After Lin Xiaotian left, Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief. Until now, he was a little confused. The moment Lin Xiaotian first appeared, he was full of murderous intent. But when Qin Feng opened his mouth, Lin Xiaotian immediately stopped. No matter what happened,
It looks a little weird.
"It's really strange. Could it be that Lin Xiaotian has changed his mind and wants to be friends with our Qin family again?" Li Ye was puzzled. Could a person who had cut off contact with the Qin family thirteen years ago suddenly change his mind? Isn't this right?
In line with common sense.
Qin Feng smiled and said: "Lin Xiaotian is just worried about the reputation of the Lin family."
"Just because of reputation?" Li Ye still couldn't understand. In his opinion, the so-called reputation is the most illusory, and in the past thirteen years, in Puying City, he has seen many shameless people who are shameless for the sake of profit.
people.
Not to mention, Qin Wenshan of the Qin family is one of them. After Qin Xiaochi disappeared, Qin Wenshan colluded with the elders to seize the Qin family's property, and even wanted to officially become the head of the Qin family. This is extremely shameless.
In comparison, although Lin Xiaotian was better than Qin Wenshan, he was not much better. After Qin Xiaochi disappeared, Lin Xiaotian, as the adopted brother, ignored the Qin family and did not even send a letter of condolences.
However, such behavior has already earned a reputation as unkind and unjust, but now you are beginning to care about the reputation of the Lin family again?
Qin Feng smiled and said: "One moment and another, the Lin family is now one of the eight major families in the royal city and has a prominent position. Naturally, it pays more attention to reputation than before."
The greater the power of the family, the more emphasis it will place on reputation. In Qin Feng's previous life, he even saw two transcendent forces fighting for hundreds of years for the false reputation of the first family in the empire. In comparison,
Lin Xiaotian's reaction was not surprising.
Moreover, Qin Feng knew that among the eight major families in the royal city, the other seven families had at least been passed down for hundreds of years, with a profound foundation and a far-reaching reputation. Only the Lin family had only become famous for more than ten years. In terms of reputation alone, it was completely incomparable to the others.
Compared with the seven families. What's more, the Lin family is privately called the nouveau riche family...
Moreover, in the past thirteen years, Lin Xiaotian has done two things that are often criticized by people in the royal city. One is not respecting brotherhood and being indifferent to the Qin family. The other is clinging to the power of others and marrying Qianwu Academy.
The dean’s daughter, Yuan Ziyi. Some people even rumored that Lin Xiaotian’s first wife was killed by Yuan Ziyi and Lin Xiaotian.
The reputation of the Lin family has never been very good, which is undoubtedly the biggest pain point in Lin Xiaotian's heart, and Qin Feng's approach today took advantage of this very cleverly.
In fact, Qin Feng's smashing of the Lin family's door was done intentionally. At that time, Butler Cao blocked the road and prevented Qin Feng from entering the Lin family. Qin Feng took action directly to make the matter bigger, with the purpose of drawing out the real big shots in the Lin family.
After listening to Qin Feng's story, Li Ye suddenly felt enlightened. Before, he was worried about Qin Feng's seemingly reckless behavior. Now it seems that everything is under Qin Feng's control.
"It seems that the young master has really grown up. He is brave, resourceful, and courageous. I believe his future achievements will be limitless. Master, if you also know that the young master is so outstanding, you will also be very pleased." Li Ye secretly thought in his heart.
Thinking about it, for some reason, my eyes became moist.
"Uncle Li, what's wrong with you?" Qin Feng was a little confused.
"It's okay, go on, what should we do next?" Li Ye said with a smile, and there was a hint of relaxation in his smile.
Two days ago, he accompanied Qin Feng from Puying City to the Royal City. Along the way, Li Ye could hardly sleep at night, always worried about whether there would be some conflicts after meeting Lin Xiaotian.
But now, Li Ye has no such worries at all. Because he firmly believes that no matter what happens, Qin Feng will find a way to solve it and has the ability to solve it. And for him, as long as he acts according to Qin Feng's ideas, it will be enough.
"Next, we don't have to do anything, just wait." Qin Feng said.
"Wait?" Li Ye asked.
"After Lin Xiaotian welcomed us into the Lin family, he immediately made excuses to leave and avoided seeing us. Mostly because he didn't know our details at this time, so he didn't want to offend us too much, but he didn't want to talk to us either. Too close." Qin Feng said.
Li Ye nodded, that was indeed the case. After all, the Qin and Lin families had not interacted with each other for thirteen years. Lin Xiaotian did not know the current situation of the Qin family and what kind of background it had.
"With the power of the Lin family in the Daqian Kingdom, it shouldn't take too long to find out the situation of our Qin family." Li Ye thought for a while and said.
Qin Feng looked at the sky and said, "Lin Xiaotian should meet me before sunset. Let's just wait."
After Qin Feng said this, he exchanged a few words with Li Ye and then directly entered the cultivation state.
He never wastes a moment of time...
The setting sun gradually set and the sky became dark. Butler Cao hurriedly entered a room in the east courtyard. The room was magnificent and there was no one else except Lin Xiaotian.
"How are things going?" Lin Xiaotian, who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, took a sip of tea and asked indifferently.
Butler Cao said cautiously: "Reporting to the head of the family, we have found out clearly. Since Qin Xiaochi disappeared, the Qin family has not improved much in the past thirteen years. The only thing worth noting is that Qin Feng seems to have a good relationship with Wanbao Tower, and has With the help of Wanbao Tower, Qin Wenshan was driven out of the Qin family."
"You mean the Nangong family?" Lin Xiaotian was a little surprised. He didn't understand that the Nangong family, one of the eight major families in the royal city, would interact with a little person like Qin Feng.
Cao Guanjia said: "There seems to be some kind of cooperative relationship between them."
Lin Xiaotian was immediately relieved. The Nangong family started out as a businessman, and Wanbao Tower was spread across many cities. There were not only a thousand but also eight hundred small families cooperating with Wanbao Tower.
"That's nothing to worry about." Lin Xiaotian said.
After hearing this, Butler Cao suddenly felt happy and asked repeatedly: "Then what should we do with them?"
"Disposal? When did I say I was going to dispose of them?" Lin Xiaotian frowned.
Butler Cao suddenly felt a little stupid. Today Qin Feng broke down the door of the Lin family and injured him. After Lin Xiaotian arrived, instead of holding Qin Feng responsible, he scolded him. At that time, Butler Cao was a little confused. What is the situation.
Until a few hours ago, Lin Xiaotian went to find him personally and ordered him to send someone to investigate Qin Feng's details. At that time, Butler Cao was very happy. He believed that since Lin Xiaotian wanted to investigate Qin Feng, he must be planning to take action against Qin Feng. The time for revenge is finally here!
However, at this time, Lin Xiaotian actually said that he did not plan to take action against Qin Feng! What kind of situation was this? Since he did not plan to take action against Qin Feng, why bother to investigate his background?
Butler Cao felt that his brain was a little insufficient.
Lin Xiaotian said calmly: "I asked you to investigate the Qin family, just to know whether the Qin family is worth using now. If the Qin family has some value, then bring them under your command. If there is no value, send them away, that is
Already."
"But... let's forget about today's matter? Then Qin Feng was so rude. Not only did he hurt me, but he also broke the Lin family's door. His behavior was arrogant and he didn't take the Lin family seriously at all." Butler Cao was unwilling to accept it.
road.
Lin Xiaotian shook his head and looked at Butler Cao, already a little disappointed: "More than ten years have passed, are your thinking patterns still stuck at thirteen years ago? If you are so unwilling to make progress, you will not be able to make progress in the future.
This position of steward is suitable for you."
After hearing these words, Butler Cao's expression suddenly changed. For the past ten years, Lin Xiaotian had always trusted him and had never said such harsh words to him before. But he still gritted his teeth and said: "Please forgive me for being stupid. It's true."
I don’t understand what the head of the family is doing today.”
Lin Xiaotian said: "Why do lions fight with local dogs from the countryside?"
"Just like your behavior today, even if you humiliate the Qin family, so what? No one will think that the Lin family is so powerful, but they will only think that the Lin family is powerful and bullying. It is really stupid to do such a thankless thing.
"
"Qin Feng took action rashly, injured you, and made you a laughing stock. Do you regret it now?"
Lin Xiaotian's two short sentences immediately rendered Butler Cao speechless.
"Here comes the country dog. Give him two bones and that's it. This can also earn some reputation for the Lin family. Why bother to be serious with them and attract notoriety?" Lin Xiaotian said calmly.
Butler Cao remained silent, and he understood what Lin Xiaotian said. If it were in the past, he would definitely compliment Lin Xiaotian after hearing these words.
But now, he hates Qin Feng to the core. Qin Feng injured him in front of so many people. If he can't get back the situation, how will he, the majestic butler of the Lin family, see anyone in the future?
"Killing Qin Feng will not bring the slightest benefit to our Lin family." Lin Xiaotian said as he walked out the door. He had already thought of giving Qin Feng some benefits at will and sending him away.
The matter is over.
Butler Cao's face became increasingly uglier. It was really hard for him to give up his revenge on Qin Feng. But Lin Xiaotian didn't want to kill Qin Feng, so what could he do?
In an instant, Butler Cao's mind was spinning. Suddenly, he thought of another thing related to Qin Feng...
"No, we must kill Qin Feng." Butler Cao said coldly.
