Zhuang Min and Jin Yan met at the entrance of Xuan Yang Restaurant, and Jin Yan suggested
"The Xuanyang Restaurant is very crowded today, and I haven't reserved a table. How about we go together?"
Zhuang Min glanced at Jin Yan's fake smile, was silent for a moment, nodded and agreed.
The two did not expect that all the rooms were full. The seats reserved by Zhuang Min were used by other members of the Zhuang family. These family members expected that since it was all in the name of the family, Xuanyang Restaurant was not in breach of contract.
But since they were indeed in the wrong, they made room for them in a window seat in the lobby on the second floor.
After the two sat down, they listened to the discussions around them. Everyone mentioned Lin Yang and his inventions or deeds every two or three sentences.
Everyone's talking about Lin Yang today. The Lin family's act of whole-family sponsoring someone has been rare in the past century, so naturally, it became the hottest topic.
Moreover, Lin Yang is indeed very topical. No matter his age, his identity, his father, his inventions, his deeds, the impact of his inventions, etc., they are all good topics. In the past two days, the entire cultivation world has been talking about Lin Yang, and they are enjoying it. It seems that there is no sign of it cooling down for a while.
"You guys did something to Lin Yang, didn't you?" Jin Yan suddenly asked.
Zhuang Min was stunned and immediately shouted angrily
"That's nonsense. Jin Yan, don't make up stories, spread rumors, or I won't forgive you."
"Tsk tsk... Look at how well this idiom is used! Is he showing off his erudition? Or is he covering up his guilty conscience?" Jin Yan retorted with a smile.
"We, the Zetian Zhuang family, have no grudges against Lin Yang, so why would we assassinate him?" Zhuang Min immediately retorted.
"The reason is very simple. Last time in the library, Lin Yang looked up a lot of information about your Zetian Zhuang family, and you discovered it. A person like Lin Yang would never do useless work. He must want to develop space equipment or teleportation arrays, so he would look up relevant information. You know how terrifying Lin Yang's research and development capabilities are, so you took the initiative and wanted to get rid of Lin Yang once and for all. Do you dare to say that you didn't report the library's inventions and speculations?" Jin Yan looked directly at Zhuang Min and said with a serious smile.
Although Zhuang Min's expression didn't change, his pupils dilated instantly and then shrank back to normal. Jin Yan caught him red-handed. Jin Yan's smile deepened. "It seems I guessed right. This Zhuang Min isn't that great. I tricked him out in one go. How boring."
"How dare you utter such baseless lies in public? Aren't you afraid of causing trouble?" Zhuang Min retaliated fiercely.
"Huh, this is a reasonable inference, okay? How can it be nonsense? Sister Min, now the Guigu Lin family can be like a mad dog, biting anyone they catch, Sister Min, be careful!" Jin Yan said frivolously.
"This is really getting outrageous. What kind of family is the Guigu Lin family? You actually used such a bad metaphor to describe it. The Busan Jin family has really declined, and their family education is getting worse and worse."
"You—I'm reminding you out of kindness, but don't be ungrateful."
"Good or bad? Of course I can tell the difference. I can also tell the difference between misleading others and shifting the blame."
"What do you mean?"
"Your Busan Jin clan is the biggest suspect. But you keep saying our Sawada Sho clan is the biggest suspect. Isn't that just shifting the blame?"
"How is that possible?"
"How is it impossible? The Five Elements Primordial Sword Art was invented by Lin Yang, and the sword cultivation field is the foundation of your Busan Jin family! Moreover, Lin Yang has always idolized the founder of sword cultivation and publicly announced that he would gradually release all of his inventions. The Five Elements Primordial Sword Art is the earliest, and it has now been basically fully disclosed. This alone has caused your Busan Jin family's reputation to plummet. If your foundation is disturbed, you Busan Jin family will be eager to grind Lin Yang to ashes."
"You, you're talking nonsense!"
"Furthermore, Lin Yang's inventions are all groundbreaking products. In just over twenty years, the Guigu Lin family surpassed you and replaced you, becoming the second largest family. Isn't this hatred deep? Isn't this enough motivation for you to assassinate Lin Yang?"
"You, you're talking nonsense..." Jin Yan gritted her teeth but retorted weakly
"How can I talk nonsense? I based this on your theoretical analysis. You said that our Sawada clan carried out the assassination because we were afraid that Lin Yang would invent space equipment and crack the teleportation array. Based on your theoretical analysis, I found that the motives of your Busan Jin clan were a hundred times greater than ours. How can you say that I am talking nonsense now? You were so sure of your words just now, and you strongly opposed my false statement."
Faced with Zhuang Min's rebuttal, Jin Yan was defeated and pleaded slightly.
"I was just talking nonsense. It was all nonsense. Sister Min, please forgive me."
"I'm glad you understand. I did report the library's investigation, but didn't you do the same? It's human nature, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I also reported it. It's human nature. If we don't report it, we will be unworthy of being the elites trained by the family."
"Now is a sensitive period. Sister Yan, please be careful with what you say and do. Don't talk nonsense. Be careful of the consequences of your words."
"Yes, yes, I understand. I have something else to do today, so I'll leave first. Goodbye." Jin Yan left Xuanyang Restaurant in a panic with her maid.
"Maid" was the old term, now it's called "life assistant," which is Li Meng's job. It's just that some of the roles have changed, while others haven't.
