Chapter 1478 - 1473: The Lin Family’s Concern (Part 2)
Chapter 1478: Chapter 1473: The Lin Family’s Concern (Part 2)
Lin Hai invited Lin Xi and his companion for dinner!
Lin Xi and his companion refused.
After all, Lin Yanxia was not present.
They were not familiar with anyone else in the Lin family, so staying for dinner held no appeal.
Besides, they had almost eaten their fill before coming.
Thus, they didn’t want to stay for dinner and declined.
As for whether this would upset Lin Hai, Lin Xi wasn’t overly concerned.
He could sense that the Lin family felt uneasy about his presence, for reasons unknown.
They certainly wouldn’t be staying overnight.
When the two were about to leave, Lin Hai planned to send a car to take them back.
But once again, Lin Xi refused.
Lin Xi and Zhu Ying left the Lin family.
A short distance away, they hailed a cab.
Planning to explore the night view of the capital city.
Although the air wasn’t great and there were many people.
It was around eight o’clock, which meant less traffic.
So they decided against taking the subway.
The two planned to visit the Forbidden City.
That place is Huaxia’s most famous attraction.
Renowned globally as well.
It’s considered a world marvel, a crystallization of human wisdom.
As soon as the two left the Lin family, Lin Hai convened a meeting of all core members.
To discuss the purpose of Lin Xi’s visit to the Lin family!
Was it really just to find his daughter?
Or was there another motive.
They dared not take someone like him lightly.
Otherwise, they might suffer great damage, lose their status as Huaxia’s top family, and be replaced.
The consequences faced by the top ten families were still vivid in their minds.
The dozen or so people from the Lin family present were neither arrogant nor underestimated Lin Xi.
Innate powerhouse!
Who would dare underestimate an innate powerhouse!
Even the Lin family members wouldn’t dare.
Moreover, he could defeat mid-stage innate powerhouses.
Appearing so young.
Even if an old monster, he was a very young old monster.
After all, innate powerhouses aged over a hundred or two hundred, no matter how well-maintained, couldn’t compare to Lin Xi.
In their hearts, they denied it.
Granted, they suspected Lin Xi was a late-stage innate powerhouse, a top tier one.
Such a powerhouse!
Is beyond a single family to handle.
Even if there was a comparable powerhouse family, they wouldn’t dare show any disrespect toward him.
Someone like that could unquestionably destroy a family.
The Lin family members present smiled wryly.
No one knew if any secluded ancestors were late-stage powerhouses.
If there were, they’d feel somewhat confident.
If not, they truly couldn’t deal with Lin Xi at all.
Someone from the Lin family remarked, "Speaking of purpose!"
"If it truly isn’t about finding the eldest miss, then it’s about the Secret Realm!"
"Furthermore, I don’t believe what that Zhu Ying woman claims."
"Perhaps her relationship with the eldest miss is fake too."
"The purpose is to constantly approach the eldest miss."
"As for Lin Xi," he said, his pupils noticeably contracted, his face showing caution, "I think we absolutely shouldn’t provoke him!"
"If he has strong demands, we absolutely must agree."
"When the patriarch refused him earlier, I felt uneasy; good thing he didn’t insist on entering the Secret Realm forcefully."
"Of course, outwardly it appeared that way; inwardly, I’m not sure."
"Anyway, if we anger him, to him we’re mere ants, who can be crushed at will."
His words received unanimous agreement from part of the members.
Some people’s foreheads were also covered in cold sweat.
Recognizing the potential for them to be a late-stage powerhouse.
Among these dozen people, the strongest only reaches the Peak Soldier King.
A Peak Soldier King compared to an innate powerhouse is worlds apart.
There were those who held their ground, adamantly refusing to yield.
Saying they were one of Huaxia’s top-tier families.
Even the Dragon King couldn’t act rashly with them.
Indeed, if an action were taken, it might disrupt national fundamentals.
Huaxia’s top-tier families total four.
The Lin family is one of them.
Whether in economy or power, they wield unimaginable influence throughout Huaxia.
If such a force were disrupted, Huaxia might face considerable chaos.
Some said nothing.
Didn’t express their views.
All eyes were now on Patriarch Lin Hai.
Lin Hai, a genius patriarch.
Whether in strength or family management, commands deep respect from others.
Proving he’s an incredibly wise and insightful person.
When everyone looked to him, he paused before saying, "I think we shouldn’t overly dwell on this issue."
"Since everyone has shared their views, let this be considered."
"Some things don’t shift according to our thoughts."
"Moreover, judging by Lin Xi, he doesn’t appear unreasonable, and considering his good relationship with my daughter, we shouldn’t worry too much about his intent."
"Even if his goal is our Secret Realm."
At these words, it was clear that the facial expressions of the family members changed, some wishing to speak but unsure how to start.
They all knew the Secret Realm was one of their biggest secrets.
But in the face of absolute power, resistance is futile.
Moreover, the Secret Realm is a significant secret to them, but not necessarily to Lin Xi.
Rather than explain further, he shifted the topic, saying, "Previously, we sent people to examine, and there were no issues in the Secret Realm."
"Regarding this matter, I hope it is taken with utmost seriousness."
"Not only does it involve my daughter, but also your children and other key members of the family."
"These people are our future and must not be compromised."
Others nodded in agreement.
Some remarked, "The latest check showed no problems."
"Besides, we’ve marked the dangerous areas, they won’t be reckless."
"And, for many days, there hasn’t been any dangerous reports from inside."
"Historically, nothing major has occurred either."
Lin Hai nodded.
Indeed.
The Secret Realm has always been closely monitored by them.
Over the years, nothing major has happened.
Though minor issues have occurred periodically.
Even some fatalities.
But those fatalities were due to foolish acts by some disciples.
They have emphasized repeatedly to avoid courting danger.
As for his daughter, he is indeed at ease.
His daughter has always been extremely sensible and has a great grasp of limits.
Nonetheless, at that time, what was happening in the Secret Realm was nothing like what he’d imagined.
