Chapter 1141: Chapter 18: Where Is Justice? Justice Is Here!
"And what about you? Do you think so too?" Kong Hou looked at the Lin Family Head, a smile playing at the corner of her mouth, her gaze full of indescribable mockery.
"Yes..." The Lin Family Head noticed the sarcasm in Kong Hou’s eyes and answered with unease. A foreboding feeling had already arisen in his heart. This woman was no simple figure; her visit today spelled trouble.
"And you, do you think the same?" Kong Hou turned to speak to someone beside her.
The Lin Family Head and Young Master were stunned; who was this woman talking to? In the next moment, they saw familiar figures.
The Lin Family Head’s daughter, Lin Ying’er, appeared on the spot.
When did Lin Ying’er arrive? Did this woman bring Lin Ying’er here? When did she come? How much did Lin Ying’er hear?
She looked at the Lin Family Head and Young Master through her tears, her words slowly articulated, "I do think so, but not in such a way. Not this misguided interpretation."
"Alright, tell us your understanding." Kong Hou leaned against the window sill, looking outside, suddenly speaking, "If you want to watch, come inside; being in the courtyard is enough."
Who? Who was she speaking to?
The Lin Family Head and Young Master followed Kong Hou’s gaze, seeing suddenly a number of people appear in the courtyard. Among these people were those the Family Head recognized; precisely, it was that he recognized others, but they did not recognize him, as among them were prominent figures he had once seen at a Sect-hosted gathering.
What were these prominent figures here for? Had they come with this woman?
"Alright, you may speak." Kong Hou regarded Lin Ying’er with some admiration. This human woman was kind and resilient; she was the first within the family to oppose the trading of sect women, secretly helping several escape. She had always used her meager power to resist the Family Head and Young Master. Yet, being just one person with little say couldn’t change the situation. And now, her own brother found her bothersome and wanted to sell her.
"With greater power comes greater responsibility. Why do we keep striving to grow stronger? It isn’t for bullying the weak, nor for indulging ourselves. It’s to protect one’s self, protect those we care about, and ultimately, safeguard all life." Lin Ying’er’s voice rang clear through the Lin Family residence for all to hear.
Kong Hou nodded with satisfaction.
The cultivators standing in the courtyard, upon hearing this, seemed pensive.
"Alright, let’s reckon some things." Kong Hou said with a smile, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I am the Right Protector of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Kong Hou of the Dragon Clan. Today, I’ve come to your Lin Family to rid you of your family’s fools." Kong Hou unceremoniously referred to the Lin family as fools, causing the faces of the Family Head and Young Master to turn pale. They realized at last, the presence of the Heavenly Dao Sect’s Protector here was no good omen for them.
"Since some of you in the Lin Family consider it only natural to sacrifice for the family, a responsibility to be undertaken. And the Young Master thinks that enjoying so many benefits from the family should require greater contribution. So, for the many years the Young Master has been draining the Lin Family, taking advantaged, how much benefit has he gained? Now, it’s time for the Young Master to shoulder the greatest responsibility." Kong Hou spoke unhurriedly.
"L-Lady, what do you mean?" The Lin Family Head’s lips trembled as he asked uneasily.
