The elders gathered here and they received the news from the Wei family earlier than Lin Yue.
"What does the Wei family mean? Although the Lin and Wei families used to have exchange meetings for the younger generation, they were only held once every twelve years. Now there are still two years left before the once every ten years, so they can't wait?"
An elder said very dissatisfied.
"Humph, what else can it mean? They have a white-eyed wolf mentality, and everyone on the street knows it."
The seventh elder of Li Mansion snorted coldly.
"Lao Qi, listening to what you said, it seems that you know something inside?"
The third elder asked.
"You guys are so limited in information. Don't you know that old Wei Qing fell in love with that boy from the Chen family not long ago?"
The seventh elder said.
"Chen Se?"
The third elder's face darkened, "This boy Chen Se, let alone the Dark Temple, is famous in the entire Dark Forest. He has reached the peak of the Eight Stars after practicing for thousands of years, and may become a Venerable at any time. It is said that the Holy Ancestors attach great importance to him."
"No wonder."
The other elders were all human spirits, and they immediately reacted, "Who knows, Lin Mu and Wei Xue are engaged, and that old Wei Qing clearly wants to make Lin Mu look bad through this so-called exchange meeting, so as to get rid of this."
They decided to marry Wei Xue to Chen Se instead, and the Wei family really made a good idea."
"That's right."
The seventh elder said coldly: "I heard that not only Wei Qing has a crush on Chen Se, but Chen Se is also very satisfied with Wei Xue, so the Wei family chose to hold the exchange meeting at this time."
"Although Lin Mu's talent and strength are good, they are incomparable to Chen Se. A five-star star and an eight-star star are worlds apart. The Wei family is going too far to bully others."
The third elder slammed the table angrily.
"In my opinion, we don't want to go to this exchange meeting."
Another elder also made suggestions.
"Great Elder, what do you say?"
Most of the elders looked at the great elder. Although they were all very dissatisfied with the great elder for shielding Lin Mu, when really big things happened, they still had to seek the advice of the great elder. Who should let the great elder have the highest qualifications, or the venerable one?
"I'm afraid we have no choice in this matter."
The great elder sighed, looked at everyone and said: "Even when the patriarch was at his peak, our Lin family was not as good as the Wei family, not to mention that the patriarch is still recovering from his injuries and his future is uncertain. If he really offends the Wei family, given the patriarch's current state, it is very likely that
The seats of elders have all been banned.”
When the others heard this, they immediately fell silent.
As the Great Elder said, the Wei family has always been among the top three factions in the Dark Temple, while the Lin family only ranked between five and ten at its peak.
Now that the clan leader has been seriously injured and has not yet recovered, the Lin family's prestige has plummeted, falling to only ten members. How can it be qualified to compete with the Wei family.
"Then what should we do?"
The sixth elder asked: "Now the situation is very clear. If Lin Mu, that evil beast, goes to the Wei family, he will only be embarrassed. When the exchange meeting is over, it will be a trivial matter to be ravaged. If the engagement is really broken, what will happen to the face of my Lin family?"
How can it be saved?"
"Could it be that if Lin Mu doesn't go to the Wei family, the Wei family won't break off the engagement?"
The great elder asked rhetorically.
"this"
The Sixth Elder couldn't tell.
"If I don't go, my Lin family will be laughed at, saying that I don't even have the courage to challenge. Although I will probably fail if I go, at least I won't be ridiculed too much."
The great elder said: "Besides, if we don't try it, who knows what the result will be. Maybe we still have a chance to win?
When the other elders heard this, they all looked helpless, feeling that the elder was deceiving himself. With Lin Mu's strength, how could he possibly compete with the heroes of the Wei family, let alone Chen Se behind him.
But when things got to this point, the Lin family really had no choice. They could only pray that things wouldn't get too bad.
"Then let's ask someone to call Lin Mu over."
The third elder said.
"No need, I've already sent someone to call. I guess it's almost time to arrive."
There was a flash of light in the great elder's eyes that no one else could detect.
If he were really the fifth son of the Lin family in the past, he would never say such hopeful words, but now Lin Mu, even he can't see through, and the outcome is really uncertain.
This time, the Wei family may have to swallow the bitter fruit they sown.
Not long after the great elder finished speaking, two young men appeared at the door, with Lin Yue in front and Lin Mu behind.
When they saw Lin Mu, except for the eldest elder, the other elders didn't look very good-looking, and the elders of Lin You's faction had even worse expressions.
"Bastard, you know what happened, right?"
The third elder said coldly.
Lin Mu was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Before he became a monarch, he might have slapped the Third Elder to death directly, but now he is the Great Perfection Monarch, also known as the Great Perfection Saint. In his eyes, the behavior of the Third Elder is no different from provocation by ants.
It can only be regarded as ridiculous and cannot arouse his anger at all.
He killed Lin You before just because Lin You blocked his plan, otherwise he would not even look at Lin You.
Even now, as long as the Third Elder doesn't interfere with his affairs, any behavior will be ignored by him.
"It's okay to go to Wei's house, but I have two conditions."
He looked directly at the great elder and smiled slightly.
"You bastard, are you still asking for conditions?"
The third elder shouted angrily, "We haven't even settled the debt with you for killing Lin You. Now that I ask you to do something for the family, do you still have the nerve to impose conditions?"
Lin Mu glanced at him lightly: "It's okay if you don't mention any conditions. Then please forgive me for not accompanying you in this bullshit exchange meeting."
"ridiculous."
The third elder was so angry that his beard trembled, "Listen to what you said, as if this matter has nothing to do with you. Don't forget who the person who is about to be annulled is."
"Okay, okay."
The eldest elder quickly came forward to reconcile with Xi Ni. He knew that Lin Mu really didn't care about being annulled. After all, Lin Mu was not really the fifth son of the Lin family.
"Lin Mu, just tell me what conditions you have, but the premise is that we don't ask you to perform amazingly at this exchange meeting, but at least you can't lose the face of my Lin family. Only in this way can we meet your conditions afterwards.
."
When saying this, the great elder looked at Lin Mu expectantly.
If Lin Mu can really do what he said, then it might be a good thing for the Lin family that Lin Mu replaces the fifth son of the Lin family.
"In this case, I will first state one condition, which will be regarded as the advance payment you will give me, and the other condition will be discussed after I come back."
Lin Mu said: "I need you to open the top level of the family library to me."
From the memory of the fifth son of the Lin family, he learned that the top floor of the Lin family's library contained the Lin family's most advanced books and information. Perhaps he could get more information about the Dark Temple there.
"The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the third elder couldn't help but shouted coldly, "The library on the top floor of the family, even us elders, are only eligible to enter after half of the votes are cast every one thousand years. Where did you come from?
