“Hahaha…” The pupils of many guests contracted. They could see Lin Aoqing had no intention of yielding. Instead, he threw his head back and madly laughed aloud.
With his laughter, he also stood up.
“Haha, you old fossil! Back then, I was merciful and spared your worthless life! I didn’t expect you to turn around and bite me at this moment!” After laughing wildly for a while, Lin Aoqing suddenly roared, the disrespect in his tone, the madness and ferocity on his face repulsed countless people.
This cursing undoubtedly confirmed what Lin Huarong had said earlier. All wanted to spit on such people with such vile nature. However, most present held an observer’s attitude. They slowly dispersed, afraid of being implicated in this.
After all, those who want to achieve great things often have to perform unsavory methods. Although Lin Aoqing was indeed an unfilial and disloyal scoundrel, no one could deny his personal capabilities. Otherwise, how could he have won people over after the Old Master Lin collapsed and fell into a coma!?
Since Lin Aoqing dared to completely tear off the mask in front of so many people, it was clear he had the means to resist. He might even take down Lin Huarong with his trump card!
“Insolence! Lin Aoqing, surrender now!” Hearing his series of arrogant and disrespectful words, the Lin Family Third Elder and Fourth Elder immediately angrily roared and rushed towards him. However, before they could reach Lin Aoqing, they were intercepted by two equally strong Martial Grandmasters.
“You old fossils, I originally planned to spare your life, but you forced me to do this!” Lin Aoqing swept a cold glance at the Third Elder and Fourth Elder, then sneered at Lin Huarong, “Old thing, do you still think you’re the invincible Lin Huarong of the past? How laughable!”
“You wicked bastard! Wicked Bastard!” Lin Aoqing’s words angered Lin Huarong so much that his body trembled. His slightly shaking finger pointed at Lin Aoqing’s nose, the anger in his eyes almost turning into a sharp sword. He wanted to tear this ungrateful bastard to pieces.
He had been truly blind!
*Thump! Thump! Thump!* Just as Lin Huarong could not help but want to make a move, a series of orderly footsteps sounded. A group of about fifty people walked in from outside. Although the number was not very large, the aura emanating from them shocked the guests.
These fifty something people were all Martial Masters!
Moreover, in front of these fifty something people, there were five leaders. Judging from the aura they emitted, they were all Martial Grandmasters!
Obviously, Lin Aoqing was fully prepared for this birthday banquet.
No matter how the situation developed, in the end, he would become the new Head of the Lin Family!
“You old fossil, if you could have just obediently handed over the position of Patriarch to me today, perhaps I’ll let you and your useless Son spend your twilight years in peace. You forced me to take this step!” With the appearance of these fifty something people, many Lin Family guards started to hesitate. This was the moment for them to take a stand.
In just a moment, more than half of the guards stood behind Lin Aoqing.
These people were basically all recruited by Lin Aoqing over the past ten years.
Lin Aoqing was a Martial Grandmaster, along with five more Martial Grandmasters, and the two Martial Grandmasters that intercepted the Third Elder and Fourth Elder, a total of eight Martial Grandmasters were on his side. Worse, he still had over fifty Martial Masters and numerous guards. This force was enough to sweep away any Family in Spreading Cloud City!
Everyone said the Lin Family was first as a Martial Family, but they also believed the three Major Families did not have much of a difference. But now, the gap has been finally revealed.
“Distinguished guests, give me, Lin Aoqing, some face and please step back. Don’t interfere in my Lin Family’s internal affairs. After I, Lin Aoqing, have dealt with everything, the banquet will continue as usual. However, this banquet will be to celebrate my ascension to the position of Lin Family Patriarch!” After displaying his strength, Lin Aoqing was obviously full of confidence. He directly shouted at the crowd in the banquet pavilion, with an air of having everything under control.
Following his shout, many guests looked at each other.
However, after a moment, they were surprised to find that Ye Liangchen of the Ye Family and Li Yuanfei of the Li Family, who were also among the three Major Families of Spreading Cloud City, were still sitting there with smiles on their faces. They showed no intention of getting up.
“Master Li, Little Brother Ye, I hope you two won’t interfere in our Lin Family’s internal affairs. In the future, I will surely repay you handsomely!” Lin Aoqing obviously noticed the unusual behavior of the Ye Family and Li Family. He immediately frowned and said in a low voice.
However, after he finished speaking, neither Ye Liangchen nor Li Yuanfei showed any intention of getting up. Instead, they looked at him with meaningful gazes.
It was a kind of look, as if they were looking at a clown. It made Lin Aoqing extremely unnerved!
What made him even more uncomfortable was that he could not lash out against them now, he could only endure!
After Lin Aoqing’s expression changed several times, he looked at Li Yuanfei. He immediately frowned, and finally turned his gaze to Ye Liangchen, who seemed a bit easier to fool, “Ye Liangchen…”
“Call me Young Master Ye, I am the rightful Young Master of the Ye Family, your status is not equal to mine, so how dare you call by my name!?” However, before Lin Aoqing could finish his next word, he was directly interrupted by Ye Liangchen. It was followed by a barrage of insults, which made Lin Aoqing’s face turn to the color of a pig’s liver.
He was blatantly slapping Lin Aoqing’s face!
“*Ahem*, our three Major Families of Spreading Cloud City have always lived in harmony. However, Old Master Lin is one of the few people worthy of my respect. Since the Lin Family has produced such a vile person, my Li Family is willing to lend a hand to the Old Master!” Li Yuanfei’s next words directly caused Lin Aoqing’s pent-up anger to explode.
Lin Aoqing could clearly see that neither Li Yuanfei nor Ye Liangchen were willing to stand idly by!
“Good! Good! Good for you, Li Yuanfei, good for you, Ye Liangchen, you don’t know what’s good for you! If so, don’t blame me, Lin Aoqing, for making sure you don’t leave here alive today!” Lin Aoqing’s low voice was almost a roar. Those fifty something Martial Masters surrounded Ye Liangchen and Li Yuanfei’s group.
“Wicked bastard, you still dare to be so insolent!?” At this moment, Old Master Lin finally could not hold back anymore. With an angry roar, his Yuan Energy surged as he reached out a hand to grab Lin Aoqing.
Meanwhile, Hei Gui did not make a move, standing in front of Lin Aotian to protect him.
