Those men and women were afraid of Lin Xun’s momentum. Although they didn’t scorn Lin Xun for his wild words, they didn’t dare to talk much.

Lin Xun knew clearly what these guys were thinking, but he didn’t want to explain for himself. What he said tonight wasn’t aiming at them at all.

It was just a group of dandy teenagers. Lin Xun didn’t bother to prove himself in front of them.

He just wanted to pass on the news that he had took over Heart-cleansing Peak through the mouths of these clansmen!

All Lin’s clansmen should know Lin Xun had become the owner of Heart-cleansing Peak!

Lin Xun would like to see how many people would jump out against him.

Before long, when Lin Zhong came back, he saw those figures kneeling outside the hall. He couldn’t help but look worried, but he didn’t say much at last.

He had already noticed that this young master was not an arrogant one. He might do this to establish his prestige or for other purpose. It was definitely not a rash act.

“Tonight it’s the first time that I’ve come to Heart-cleansing Peak. I won’t punish you harder so you can go now. However, if you want to come to Heart-cleansing Peak in the future, you need my permission first.”

Lin Xun waved and turned to enter the hall.

The men and women couldn’t believe Lin Xun’s decision. Would he let them go easily? Until they saw Lin Xun disappeared in the deep of Heart-cleansing Hall, they finally confirmed that it was true that they could leave now.

“Go!”

Those men and women got up and hurried away with hatred filling in their bosom.

They were going to tell the elders of Lin family about what happened this evening. How dared a teenager in their age threaten to take charge of Heart-cleansing Peak? He must don’t want to live longer!

When they reached the bottom of Heart-cleansing Peak, a man asked, “Lin Zhong, who is that boy?”

As soon as this question came out, other people also regained their consciousness abruptly. They didn’t know the real identity of Lin Xun either by now!

It was not because their carelessness for this question. Lin Xun had beaten these men and women roughly before, which shocked them and made them have no mind to think more about Lin Xun’s identity.

“Young masters and ladies, that is my master Lin Wenjing and Luo Qingxun’s son Lin Xun.”

Lin Zhong said with pride.

“What?”

“Lin Wenjing’s son? Wasn’t he dead when he was born? ”

“Lin Zhong, are you fucking wrong?”

“No wonder I feel familiar when I saw his face. I thought that I must have seen him before.”

The men and women were shocked by the news.

They continued to question Lin Zhong and repeatedly confirmed the reality that Lin Xun was Lin Wenjing’s son.

This made both those men and women have a bad feeling.

They had planned to go back and complain to the elders so as to revenge on Lin Xun, but at this moment, they really realized that the situation was serious!

They must report to the elders about this thing immediately!

Soon, they left in a hurry.

...

In the Heart-cleansing Hall, the ground was in a mess, and the air was filled with alcohol.

Lin Xun sat alone in a chair, , full of worries in his his dissociated eyes and his dull face .

He should have been happy the moment knowing his life experience, but the fact was that he was not happy at all.

The past was too complicated!

In that bloody tragedy, Lin Wenjing, his father, was killed and Luo Qingxun, his mother, disappeared. Even his lineal family members did not survive from it.

The murderer was a man named Yun Qingbai, who came from the mysterious Clan of Heaven-accessing Sword.

Except that, there was no other clue of Yun Qingbai.

The reality was more cruel that this murder. After this incident, Lin family lost its patriarch and successor which led to troubles inside and outside of its clan.

In the end, Lin Family was taken advantage of by many top forces and its industry and territories were carved up, making Lin Family completely decayed soon.

Originally, it had nothing to do with Lin Xun.

But when he stepped into the Forbidden City, Lin Xun knew that, as Lin Wenjing’s son, he had to undertake some things whether he wanted to or not!

But it was easy to say than do. There were many difficulties to deal with. Lin Xun felt helpless about how to do this.

He had never experienced such things before. He suddenly became the lineal descendant of Lin Clan of the Forbidden City from a teenager that came out of a mine prison. He was now qualified to take over Heart-cleansing Peak, one of the 72 Mountains of Aristocracy! Lin Xun should take time to adapt to the change of his identity too.

It was a strong contrast from a beggar on the street to a suddenly recognized emperor’s son. No one could adapt to it quickly.

Of course, Lin Xun’s encounter was just like a gorgeous counter-attack of many poor children in the world. He didn’t have to fight at all and simply became the son of an aristocratic family. Who would not envy him?

Even Lin Family declined, a starved camel was still bigger than a horse. The identity of a big family’s son couldn’t be deprived by other people casually!

Luo Qingxun, who was outstanding in her year, won the first place in the Nation Test. But when she was going to be with Lin Wenjing, she was unanimously opposed by all the clansmen of Lin Family.

Why?

The reason was very simple. Luo Qingxun was born in a poor family, so she was considered to be not qualified at all!

However, Lin Xun was the only one who knew that his identity of a successor was so embarrassing in nowadays situation. He had to face countless dangers with this identity.

He would rather not be a member of Lin Family if there was any other choices!

Honorable status?

There were many enemies staring at him in the dark!

Reach a high position in a single bound?

It was a joke!

Even those clansmen wouldn’t tolerate Lin Xun to take over Heart-cleansing Peak smoothly. How could he reach a high position in a single bound?

Lin Xun, who was fighting alone, would face unimaginable dangers and difficulties if he wanted to bear the responsibility on his shoulder.

One careless move might lead to a bad end of the game!

The empty and cold hall was full of chaos. A 15-year-old boy was sitting in his chair and thinking about his matters.

“When you enter the Forbidden City, you can make troubles as much as you can!”

Inadvertently, the letter with a print of Ziyao flowers flashed through Lin Xun’s mind. He thought of the mysterious figure in the palace.

Inexplicably, a light flashed through his eyes.

“Now in the Forbidden City, many people mistakenly think that you have a lot to do with Heiyao Shrine. In this case, you can continue to mislead them.”

Soon, Lin Xun thought of the words of the old man of Heiyao Shrine again. A curve appeared on his lips.

“F**k dangers and troubles, I’ll turn the whole world upside down from now on...”

Lin Xun murmured in his heart. His original confusion had been replaced by a firm will.

...

Before long, the old servant Lin Zhong returned. Lin Xun asked him to sit down and said, “Tell me about the situation of Lin family, Granddad Zhong.”

Lin Zhong seemed to have been prepared for the question. After a little thought, he started to introduce to it.

Five hundred years ago, Lin Family was also a top ranking aristocratic family in the Forbidden City. It was tied with the seven famous aristocratic families at that time!

There was only one standard to judge a family’s ranking, that was, whether there was a Life-death Realm man in the clan!

At that time, one of the ancestors of Lin family, Lin Daochen, was a famous strongman of Life-death Realm.

But later, when Lin Daochen was fighting on the battlefield, he was defeated by a horrible Life-death Realm practitioner of Empire of the Dark.

Since then, Lin Family lost a lot of vitality and declined from the top class to the middle class. The most embarrassing thing was that for hundreds of years, there had never been another Life-death Realm practitioner appearing again.

Even so, the power of Lin Family was far beyond the average middle-class family. Lin Family was still the top force next to the seven top ranking aristocratic families.

This situation lasted for hundreds of years. Although Lin Family never turned back to its glorious position, it did not decline again.

But 15 years ago, the bloody event happened the day when Lin Xun was born, which changed the power of the Lin Family completely.

Lin Feiting, the lineal relative of the patriarch, almost died. Without leaders, the power of Lin Family was mercilessly divided up by many powerful families, making it fall down to its trough.

Up to now, the forces owned by Lin Family could only enable it to be included in the lower class, not even the middle class.

When Lin Xun heard this, he couldn’t help but feel a loss. Five hundred years ago, Lin Family was still a top-ranking family with great power and a Life-death Realm man.

Five hundred years later, however, it had declined to the lower class. No glory could exist under such great recession.

Compared with the other seven aristocratic families, the speed of tumbledown Lin Family was declining too fast.

Soon, Lin Xun calmed down and asked, “Granddad Zhong, what is the current situation of Lin Family?”

Lin Zhong was immersed in memories and his face was full of sadness. He said in a deep voice, “After the bloody event, the patriarch’s lineage almost extincted. There are only four other lineal descendants left...”

Lin Family had five branches, including Lin Feiting, Lintian’s grandfather, who was a direct relative and had always firmly controlled the power of the clan.

In addition, the other four collateral clansmen were the descendants of Lin Feiting’s four younger brothers, as well as many relatives-in-laws.

This was a big clan. There were many relatives such as direct lineages, collateral lineages, relatives-in-law, outdoor relatives and so on.

After the bloody incident, the four branch clans of Lin Family moved away from Heart-cleansing Peak and settled in other areas of the Forbidden City. They were still Lin clans in name, but in fact, they had been completely divided into four forces and relied on its own.

When hearing this, Lin Xun frowned and acutely came up with a key question. He asked, “Since these four branches were eager for power and profit so they even cooperated with the enemy to divide the basic industry of Lin Family, how could such people be willing to move away from Heart-cleansing Peak?”

Heart-cleansing Peak!

This was one of the 72 Mountains of Aristocracy, which represented the supreme glory and status of an aristocratic family. Who would like to give up this treasure land and settle in a new place?

There must be a reason!
