The Lin Family was in an uproar.
All the direct descendants, branch members, and servants of the Lin Family knelt throughout the entire courtyard.
A gold-inlaid carriage stopped at the Lin Family's main gate, and a middle-aged maid came forward to lift the curtain, while another servant knelt beneath the carriage, serving as a stool.
Then, the Lin Family Old Matriarch, dressed in luxurious clothes and adorned with Phoenix hairpins, stepped out.
Her aura was imposing, and her gaze was sharp.
"Mother!"
An old man in front of the mansion gate crawled forward, "Big Brother was harmed by the Zhou Family, and my big nephew also suffered a misfortune. You must seek justice for our Lin Family, Old Matriarch."
The old man was Lin Yong, the second son of the Lin Family and Lin Long's younger brother.
The Lin Family Old Matriarch was the second Spirit Connection Realm expert, besides Lin Long.
Therefore, after Lin Long and Lin Tong died, no one in the Lin Family dared to act. After all, those who could kill Spirit Connection Realm experts were definitely not someone they could provoke.
"What an ignorant Zhou Family!"
The Lin Family Old Matriarch's eyes were filled with rage, "They killed my husband, destroyed my beloved son, and even killed my beloved grandson! Have they forgotten who truly rules Qingping City?"
Lin Yong took the opportunity to get up and supported the Lin Family Old Matriarch, "Mother, have our uncles been notified? The Zhou Family must have come prepared this time. First, they used the annulment of the engagement as an excuse to set a trap and harm our Lin Family. We must be on guard!"
The Lin Family Old Matriarch gritted her teeth, "A bunch of filthy wretches, they really think highly of themselves. You go and order all city gates to be guarded. All Zhou Family members can enter but not leave. When my younger brother arrives tomorrow, I'll make sure they don't leave a single chicken or dog alive!"
Lin Yong was overjoyed. The position of Family Head was finally going to fall to his lineage.
This time, Lin Long and the others suffered misfortune. He naturally suppressed the resentment in his heart, but he also felt a bit of gratitude.
If the Family hadn't suffered this change, he would never have had the chance to replace the direct lineage in his lifetime.
Now that the Old Matriarch was back, he still couldn't rush!
Anyway, everyone was already dead, so what was the use of rushing? Could they be resurrected or something?
Only by waiting for the two uncles to arrive and preventing further complications would it be the best strategy.
Lin Yong suppressed the joy in his heart and, with a sorrowful expression, helped the Old Matriarch walk into the mansion.
...
"Second Master, that's pretty much it."
Zhou Chen whispered, full of worry.
It seemed that everything had returned to its original state.
Zhou An was also anxious. Although he had witnessed Zhou You's ability to kill Lin Long, it was as if he hadn't seen it at all.
Zhou You lay on the table, feeling a headache.
The shadow of the blind date still lingered in his heart. Was Zhou An blind?
Zhou An whispered, "Second Uncle, I might have been wrong about the blind date. I should have asked for your requirements in advance instead of making decisions on my own."
In his opinion, he could offend anyone now, but not Second Uncle.
If Second Uncle stopped caring about these matters now, the Zhou Family's good days would truly come to an end.
"Fierce Tiger Gate..."
Zhou You sat up, his Left Hand instinctively resting on the Zhu Xie Sword. "So, they haven't made any moves yet, right?"
Zhou An nodded repeatedly, "Ever since Lin Long died, Lin Yong of the second branch has acted as if nothing happened. But this is also reasonable, after all, Lin Yong is only in the Tuotai Realm."
Zhou You's eyes showed contemplation. From his Big Brother, he naturally knew all the circumstances.
The Lin Family was not to be feared, but what was terrifying was the Lin Family Old Matriarch's maternal Family.
Both brothers were Elders of Fierce Tiger Gate. Just this alone surpassed countless secular Families.
"He is waiting for the Old Matriarch to return, and he is also waiting for those two uncles from Fierce Tiger Gate."
Zhou You murmured, "As one of the top five hundred powers on Kunyuan Continent, Fierce Tiger Gate naturally values Face very much. There's only one thing we need to figure out now, and that is the value of the Lin Family Old Matriarch's two brothers to Fierce Tiger Gate."
Zhou Chen suddenly understood, "If they are very important, once killed, it will only lead to endless disaster. But if they are just some dispensable outer sect Elders, perhaps cleanly resolving them will not bring any trouble."
Zhou You nodded, "That's the logic."
Fierce Tiger Gate was a large organization with over five hundred Disciples.
If they were truly just outer sect Elders, it would be very difficult for them to be remembered by the high-ranking members of Fierce Tiger Gate.
Zhou An asked, "So, now we just have to wait for them to appear, and then deal with them all at once?"
Zhou You nodded, "Clearly, this is the best approach."
After speaking, he looked at Zhou An with a somewhat wistful expression, "Big nephew, please don't let any more trouble happen. Just let your Second Uncle rest for a few days."
From the time he came down the mountain until now, he hadn't had a proper rest.
To this day, he didn't even know where the brothel was.
Who could understand this kind of frustration?
Zhou An looked ashamed, "Second Uncle, then you rest first. We'll withdraw."
Zhou You nodded, then hurriedly called out, "Oh, right, let's have roasted suckling pig today."
Zhou An quickly agreed and hurried away with Zhou Chen.
"A time of trouble, indeed a time of trouble."
Zhou An, who had left the door, immediately sighed, his Face filled with worry.
The matter of the demon calamity had already spread like wildfire.
And the Lin Family matter was pressing.
He felt that being the Family Head was truly exhausting.
"Oh, right, Father."
Zhou Chen took out a money pouch, pulled out a High-Grade Spirit Stone from it, and handed it to Zhou An, "This is from Second Master for you."
Zhou An's body trembled, "High-Grade Spirit Stone?"
He had lived for half his life, and this was the first time he had seen one.
Zhou Chen nodded, "Yes, this is your share, and I have one too."
Zhou An then took it, feeling as if his heart was being tightly squeezed by a large hand. This was a chance to Fa Cai!
Zhou Chen waved his hand, "Then I'm going to accompany Miss Li, okay? Can't leave her alone in the guest room."
Zhou An was distracted. To this day, he still didn't know who that Miss Li, who was even more masculine than a man, was, and he didn't have the mind to care.
He immediately put the High-Grade Spirit Stone into his embrace and hurried out, "Butler Ma, give the order to prepare a roasted suckling pig and send it to Second Uncle's room."
At this moment.
In an alley opposite the Zhou Family, a shadow quietly wriggled. The shadow flowed like water, revealing two starlike gleams.
Then the shadow split in two, staring at the Zhou Family.
"Is Niu Dali's Disciple truly just such a Fan Blood Realm waste?"
One of the shadows emitted a sinister voice.
The other shadow turned its head, "It's too strange. A hundred years ago, he brought a child back when he came down the mountain. Now, when he comes down the mountain, he's so pathetic. I really can't figure it out. Could it be that old guy is playing tricks? Deceiving the Master?"
The former's body wriggled, showing a hint of hatred. "Don't think about it anymore. That old guy Niu Dali killed so many of our kin. It's time for him to experience firsthand pain."
"No."
The latter said in a deep voice, "The Master only ordered surveillance; we cannot act on our own. After all, that old guy Niu Dali is extremely cunning. Perhaps this kid has secrets we can't see through. Moreover, with Niu Dali's ability, even if he really is a waste, a hundred years would be enough to cultivate him into a decent expert. It's impossible for him to still be in the Fan Blood Realm now. I highly suspect this kid's Physique is unusual."
"So, what we need to do now is to continue monitoring him until we figure out what's going on!"
