“Miss Lin, don’t push your luck! I know your family is involved in something recently. Let me tell you, the reason I invited you to dinner today is to discuss this matter with you. Although our Zhong family is not large, it is not difficult for us to resolve this matter... If you don’t go, your Lin family... hehe... it’s just a matter of a word from our Zhong family!” Zhong Nan said with a cold smile.
The Zhong family... Zhong Nan was able to become Wei Donglai's apprentice, which is not without its background. Although the Zhong family is not as powerful as the Mo family and Lu family that Lin Yun destroyed, it is still a major force!
However, Zhong Nan's words at this moment were not entirely true. His status in the Zhong family was not high. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so excited last time because the Mo family gave his master a reward of 1 billion or 1.5 billion!
It was only in these last few days that he broke through to the Dark Force realm, which greatly improved his status in the Zhong family!
After all, his master, Wei Donglai, was a martial arts grandmaster at the late stage of the Transformation Realm, as well as an elder of the Bajiquan Sect and an elder of the Martial Arts Conference. In some respects, he represented considerable power!
His martial arts level has improved to the Dark Force realm, and his importance to Wei Donglai has also increased significantly!
The combination of these two factors has caused his ego to become quite inflated lately!
Lin Mengmeng is an unattainable goddess in the eyes of many young martial artists... but in his eyes, she is nothing!
She was just a young woman from a minor martial arts family, and this family was in dire straits... Although she was a member of the Zhong family of relatively low status, the Zhong family's prestige and being Wei Donglai's disciple gave her a natural sense of superiority!
"hehe……"
"interesting……"
"I never expected Zhong Nan to dare make such a threat. It seems his status in the Zhong family and the Bajiquan Sect has risen considerably recently..."
In the distance, some martial arts prodigies saw this scene and smiled faintly.
Among them, some had expressed interest in Lin Mengmeng but were rejected, while others had not yet made a move.
At this moment, they watched this scene with smiles, unmoved.
They had heard bits and pieces about the Golden Sword Sect in the past two days.
They wanted to see how Lin Mengmeng would react in this situation.
"How awful!"
"How dare you! This is a martial arts tournament, how dare you make such a threat!"
"Are you pretending we don't exist?"
"Is he really a disciple of Grandmaster Wei? Grandmaster Wei is an elder of the Martial Arts Conference. Is he disgracing Grandmaster Wei?"
Seeing this, some young martial artists who admired Lin Mengmeng were furious.
"Shh! Quiet down! The other party is a member of the Zhong family, a disciple of Wei Donglai, and a core member of the Bajiquan sect... You don't want to live anymore..."
"Don't let them notice you. Perhaps they can't do anything to you now during the martial arts tournament, but after the tournament ends..."
"These powerful scions are no longer ordinary people; don't expect the law to protect us..."
However, many of the younger martial artists' expressions changed, and they whispered the same message to their companions and those around them.
Some people are afraid to stand up...and don't want their companions to stand up...and don't want the people around them to stand up...it's a very peculiar mentality...as if only in this way can they appear not cowardly.
Thus, they uttered similar words quickly and without hesitation, rapidly creating an atmosphere.
Some people who originally wanted to stand out no longer dared to do so under these circumstances.
Some people even dared not look at Zhong Nan angrily anymore.
Only the disciples of the Golden Sword Sect were still glaring angrily at Zhong Nan. However, Lin Yuanshan had given them instructions beforehand, and now Lin Mengmeng had raised her hand to stop them, so they remained silent in their anger.
Their fear of speaking out brought great disaster to Lin Mengmeng and the Golden Sword Sect.
However, the surrounding situation greatly disappointed them.
These people, who used to admire and fawn over their young lady so much... now that something's happened, none of them dare to step forward. They're truly... unworthy of being martial artists, and disappointing.
Lin Mengmeng was also very disappointed.
Although she had never had much hope for the people around her.
On the contrary, Zhong Nan felt even more smug upon seeing this scene, which further inflated his already arrogant attitude.
"You say you're going to deal with the Lin family? I wonder, is this Lin family you're talking about the same Lin family I am?" Just then, a faint voice came from outside the crowd.
A young man dressed in a white training robe walked slowly over. He had an ordinary appearance, but his eyes were very bright.
This person is none other than Lin Yun in disguise, now using the alias Lin Yi.
"Who are you? What business is it of yours if I'm talking to Miss Lin?" Zhong Nan looked at Lin Yun and said coldly.
People always tend to look at those ahead of them. Yesterday, although Lin Yun made it into the top 20, his performance was not outstanding. Therefore, Zhong Nan did not pay attention to Lin Yun; his gaze was mostly fixed on those contestants with internal strength.
"Unfortunately, Lin Yi," Lin Yun said calmly.
"Lin Yi? The Lin Yi from the top twenty?"
"He also has the surname Lin... Could it be that Zhong Nan offended him with what he just said...?"
"This guy is a complete idiot. Zhong Nan is someone most people would avoid like the plague, yet he actually went and tried to associate with him..."
"That's not entirely true. He made it into the top twenty, so he must be quite strong. Perhaps he also has powerful connections..."
"That's hard to say. I know him; I've watched several of his matches, especially yesterday's last one. He made it into the top 20, which can be considered luck. His opponent was only at the peak of the Ming Jin realm..."
"Are you all out of your minds? Can't you see that the Lin family... is just an excuse? He actually wants to stand up for Fairy Lin?"
People around them were talking amongst themselves, and as they spoke, everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhong Nan and Lin Yi, wanting to see how things would develop.
"Lin Yi?"
Lin Mengmeng's eyes lit up when she saw Lin Yun.
Because this person's back view resembled... Lin Yun, whom she had noticed several times before.
However, her gaze quickly dimmed again.
This person only resembles Lin Yun, but is not Lin Yun. Perhaps... he is just someone who covets her appearance, only he intervened in a different way.
Thinking this, she felt a slight bitterness in her heart.
She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and had never felt so powerless before.
Lin Yuanshan, who had originally planned to step forward, stopped when he saw this scene.
"Lin Yi? Top 20? Heh, are you trying to pick a fight with me?" Zhong Nan sneered.
"How is it?" Lin Yun asked calmly.
"This Lin Yi has gone mad... He's even willing to take on this kind of feud..."
"No wonder he dared to cripple Senior Brother Xintang's arm..."
"It seems that Senior Brother doesn't need to deal with him personally..."
Some Seven Wounds Sect disciples who were watching Lin Yun stared wide-eyed at this scene, unable to believe their eyes.
