Chapter 1 The world is hot and cold(1/2)
Chapter 1: The world is in a cool state
Yangzhou, Canglan City.
Lin Clan Conference Hall.
Many elders who were highly prestigious in the Lin family sat around them, and the atmosphere was slightly calm.
In the first seat, an old man in a dark clothes was holding a page of paper in his hand, his fingertips turned blue, and his face looked extremely gloomy.
This old man is the head of the Lin family, Lin Xionghai.
After a while, after reading the contents, Lin Xionghai raised the piece of tissue in his hand, and suddenly asked a cold question, breaking the quiet atmosphere.
"Lin Che, do you know what I am in my hand?"
In an instant, all the elders in the hall were casting their eyes on a young man standing under the hall.
Seeing this, the young man shook his head slightly, "I don't know, please let the head of the family make it clear..."
"Haha, you don't know, then I will tell you that this is the marriage certificate sent by the Murong family..."
A wedding confession!
Hearing these three words, the hall was in an instant.
"What! The Murong family is going to break the marriage!"
"It's too much. My Lin family has been standing in Canglan City for a hundred years. Isn't the Murong family publicly slapping my Lin family in the face?" Someone was filled with righteous indignation.
But at this time, someone said, "Excessive? Not necessarily..."
"Don't forget that the Murong family is the largest family in Canglan City, and my Lin family is just a second-rate force. At that time, the Murong family made this engagement because of Lin Che's talent. However, now, Lin Che has become a useless person with a broken dantian. What's so strange about the Murong family wanting to regret the marriage?"
Abandoned person!
Hearing these two words, the elders of the Lin family present looked at the boy again and shook their heads secretly.
Yes, this young man was hailed as the number one genius in Canglan City and had unparalleled talents. Otherwise, how could the Murong family have attracted him and wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law to ride the dragon.
But since a year ago, the young man seemed to have suffered from a strange disease. His cultivation level did not advance but retreated, and even the most important dantian of the warrior was shattered.
In the end, he went from being a peerless genius who stunned the world to becoming a completely useless person.
Now, the Murong family's merciless destruction of marriage may not take long, and this young man will undoubtedly become the biggest joke in Canglan City.
This shame will also affect the Lin family!
Thinking of this, Lin Xionghai stared at the boy, "Lin Che, I really want to know, what do you think in your heart now?"
Hearing this, Lin Che's face was like a clear spring, and there was no fluctuation from beginning to end. He said softly: "This marriage contract is not what I want. Now the Murong family wants to break the marriage, which is pretty good..."
fine?
"What attitude!"
Lin Xionghai was furious, "Do you know that as long as you establish a relationship with the Murong family, my Lin family can go a step further in Canglan City. Now, because you are not successful, the Lin family misses the opportunity, and you are the sinner of my Lin family!"
Lin Xionghai's words have just fallen.
The elder sitting beside him immediately echoed with a sarcastic expression: "Yes, I have long seen that this guy is a mud and can't stand on the wall. This kind of waste can actually live in the position of the young master of the Lin family, which is ridiculous..."
Lin Che frowned slightly, "Great Elder, if I remember correctly, the position of the young master of the Lin family was what you elders begged me to do, right?"
beg!
When the elder heard this word, he looked silent. Although he wanted to refute it, Lin Che was the truth.
The forces of the major families in Canglan City are extremely fierce in the competition for mineral resources, but the elders of the major families will not take action easily, because once they enter the market, they will evolve into a family battle, which will surely flow into a river of blood and both sides will suffer.
Regarding the mineral veins, each major family has a rule that only juniors in the clan are sent to compete.
Under this premise, the better the juniors in each family are, the greater the possibility of fighting outside the world to obtain mineral resources.
Since Lin Che fought for the Lin family three years ago, he has won countless resources and honors for the Lin family. Because of the acquisition of these martial arts resources, the Lin family's power has gradually become richer.
Even if the great elder doesn't look down on Lin Che, it is difficult to deny these contributions openly.
"In the battle of Yandang Mountain, I fought for the Lin family, and was seriously injured in 13 places; in the battle of Fengbolin, I fought for the Lin family, and was shot into the chest by the enemy, and almost died... In the past three years, I have won the mining rights of more than ten mineral resources of large and small for the Lin family."
"I think you should be very clear about what I have done. Just because I can't contribute to the Lin family now, I can deny all my previous efforts... What does the Great Elder mean?"
"you……"
The elder's mouth twitched slightly, "Rareless! At this time, you dare to contradict this elder. Do you think you are still Lin Che from the past? Don't forget that you are a beast picked up by my Lin family. If you didn't have the Lin family, you would have been buried in the belly of the beast."
Bad breed!
Hearing these two words, Lin Che suddenly clenched his fists, and a slight sensation in his eyes unconsciously.
The elder snorted coldly, looked at Lin Xionghai and bowed, "Master, Lin Che is no longer talented now. After being resigned by the Murong clan, my Lin family has become a laughing stock in the entire Canglan City. I also asked the head of the family to put the overall situation first and dismiss the position of Young Master Lin Che. Never be kind to the woman!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xionghai nodded slightly, "What the Great Elder said is reasonable."
Then he announced loudly: "Lin Che, you are not enterprising, which has brought shame to my Lin family. Now I will abolish your status as a young master under the order of the head of the family. From today on, Lin Yu, the son of the Great Elder, will succeed the position of the young master of the Lin family!"
Upon hearing this, the elder immediately looked happy, "Thank you for the grace of the head of the family. I will urge the dog to practice hard in the future and bring glory to my Lin family."
At this time, Lin Che's expression slightly dimmed, "Master, is this your choice?"
"What do you think?" Lin Xionghai sneered and asked back.
"I see……"
Lin Che nodded silently, without saying anything more, raised his hand and threw a token symbolizing the identity of the young master.
Then, he turned around and left.
After Lin Che left, an old man from the Lin family shook his head, "Head of the family, Lin Che has made great contributions to my Lin family after all. Is it inappropriate to do this now?"
The elder on the side said, "What's wrong? Lin Che was indeed talented before, surpassing the younger generation of Canglan City. But since a year ago, this boy's talent has disappeared inexplicably, and his martial arts realm has not advanced but retreated. This proves that he is not practicing this material, and his true form is gradually revealed..."
"Now that the Murong family has been broken, what is the use of Lin Che? Let him continue to serve as the young master of the Lin family, is it because other families laughing at my Lin family for being alone?"
Lin Xionghai nodded and said, "What the Great Elder said is right. My Lin family never raises useless people... The head of the family has made a decision on this matter, so there is no need to discuss it."
Seeing that the head of the family had made up his mind, except for a few people, he did not dare to say anything more.
The rest of the people were complimenting the head of the family for his wise actions. They should not have a kind heart towards Lin Che now, but rather consider the overall situation.
...
Leaving the conference hall, Lin Che walked among the Lin family.
When he was the young leader of the Lin family, everyone in the clan respected him and flattered him.
But now he is no longer the same as before, those who please the people are afraid of it, and even look gloating and pointing behind his back.
The world is cold and the human relationship is dull.
Lin Che deeply felt the feelings of these words.
Especially today, what the Lin family cares about is that after the Murong clan broke off the engagement, was his face detrimental to Canglan City?
Of course not!
All the Lin family cares about is that after the marriage is ruined, the hope of climbing to the largest family in Canglan City is completely shattered.
This also indicates that Lin Che's last trace of value in the Lin family has disappeared.
At that time, Lin Xionghai, the head of the family, regarded Lin Che as his parents, but now he has abandoned him like a piece of shoes.
"This is reality!"
Lin Che smiled bitterly, but after the bitter smile, his eyes became firmer than ever before.
Back at his residence, Lin Che put away all his emotions and took out a simple-style jade pendant from his arms after a moment.
This ancient jade is bright red, shaped like a bouncing flame, but it is covered with cracks, and the word "Donghuang" is engraved on the front.
This ancient jade was something left to him by his biological mother, but in Lin Che's heart, he could not outline the appearance and expression of this woman no matter what.
It is rumored that after his mother sent Lin Che, who was still in her infancy to the Lin family, she hurried away without any news.
Later, Lin Che learned that this is a piece of ancient jade inherited.
The so-called inherited ancient jade can only be owned in the extremely powerful supreme family, and is used to inherit bloodlines or magical powers.
But this kind of thing can be born in Canglan City, or even the entire Yangzhou.
In other words, Lin Che's true life experience is likely to come from a supreme family.
Lin Che once doubted whether the word "Donghuang" portrayed on it was his real surname?
But if his real family had such powerful energy, how could his parents cruelly abandon him in the border area of Canglan City?
Looking at this piece of ancient jade, Lin Che was extremely confused.
Of course, the inheritance of ancient jade was not told by the Lin family. Otherwise, with Lin Xionghai's personality, if he knew the preciousness of this treasure, he would never have been kept until now.
Retracting these thoughts, Lin Che sat cross-legged with a serious expression, holding the inherited ancient jade in his hand, and slowly closed his eyes.
Shortly after entering the state of Kongming, a void space suddenly unfolded in front of Lin Che.
At this time, Lin Che seemed to be in the Milky Way, in front of him was an extremely vast starry sky, with thousands of silver lights falling, dazzling and dazzling.
