Who was the Head Butler?
This was a person with real power who was in charge of the clan's affairs. To most clansmen, they would never have any interaction with the clan leader in their lives. The Head Butler was their sky and controlled their fate.
If he told you to go left, you wouldn't dare to go right. If he told you to go right, you wouldn't dare to go left.
The Head Butler could let you be high up and enjoy the clan's offerings and preferential treatment. He could also make you fall to the bottom and work hard in the clan's sweatshop, never having a chance to rise again.
Seeing that Feng Lin actually dared to talk back to the Head Butler, Feng Lang was stunned.
This kid really didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He simply didn't want to live a good life.
He even dared to offend the Head Butler. He suddenly felt that it was nothing for this kid to go against him previously. This was child's play.
He had to say that this guy was a real man!
Feng Lang was shocked.
However, Feng Lin faced the Head Butler from afar. His expression was calm and he had no intention of retreating.
Perhaps the Head Butler was a heaven-like existence to the other Feng clansmen, but to him, it was nothing.
He was about to be sent to the clan's sweatshop. His fate was extremely miserable. So what if he offended the Head Butler? How miserable could it be?
If he didn't fight now, when would he?
Feng Lin had long been prepared.
Fight, he had to fight to the end.
A miserable fate was right before his eyes. If he didn't fight now, he would never have a chance to rise again.
Feng Lin's "I refuse" was resolute and decisive, and there was a resounding sound when it landed.
The atmosphere immediately became extremely stifling, making it hard for people to breathe.
The Head Butler's expression immediately darkened. It was as ugly as it could be. He was extremely furious.
He held most of the power in the clan. Other than the clan leader, no one could be above him. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he could cover the sky with one hand.
When had he ever been talked back to like this?
And a low-grade clansman at that. How dare he rebel!
If he didn't teach this kid a lesson today, where would the clan rules be? Where would his prestige as the Head Butler be?
A pair of eagle-like eyes stared at Feng Lin. His gaze was as sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to cut Feng Lin into a thousand pieces.
A strange aura rose in the air. It was as heavy as a mountain and as cold as ice, pressing down on one's heart.
Feng Lin stood on the spot with a struggling expression. Clearly, he also felt the heavy pressure. It was like a small mountain pressing down on his spine, making him bend his back and submit. He knelt on the ground obediently, not daring to resist.
No!
His eyes stared straight ahead, and his back was straight as if he was a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He did not dare to bend his back in the slightest. He was like a pine tree standing on a precipice, weathered countless storms, and suppressed by frost and snow. He would rather die than surrender, and he would rather die than break.
"What a ferocious man!" Although Feng Lang had looked down on Feng Lin previously, he was also secretly impressed.
The invisible confrontation between the two was so intense that even a bystander like him couldn't help but shiver.
The Head Butler was an upright interstellar cultivator. Yet, in the face of such prestige, this low-grade clansman actually had such pride and didn't fall.
No matter how strong he was, he dared to confront the Head Butler head-on. Just his courage alone was worthy of respect!
"Don't even think about it!" Seeing that he couldn't suppress Feng Lin with his aura, the Head Butler finally spoke up with a dark tone.
When Feng Lang heard this, his gaze flickered.
As a direct descendant of the family, he was no stranger to the Chief Butler.
Although the Head Butler's expression was calm, his heart was probably burning with rage. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him, who had always been cold and unfeeling, to say such emotional words.
Such decisiveness, not leaving the slightest leeway.
This brat was going to be out of luck!
"Why not?" Faced with the Head Butler's judgment, Feng Lin didn't back down.
"The family has brought you up, and all of you have a duty to fulfill. As a low-grade clansman who can't get into university, it's your duty to work for the family's factory. It's also your destiny. You must know that the family doesn't nurture trash. If everyone is like you, ignoring the family rules and refusing to fulfill the family's duty, wouldn't that be turning the world upside down? Would there still be any family rules to speak of? " The Head Butler reprimanded sternly.
"I have to work for the family just because I can't get into high school?" Feng Lin didn't panic. A confident smile appeared on his face as he counter-asked, "What if I can get into university?"
"What? Get into university? Your vitality is only 0.4. What a fool's dream … "The Head Butler didn't hide his sarcasm, but he couldn't continue speaking.
Feng Lin tapped his finger and brought up the school's examination records.
The data of 1.5 vitality was very eye-catching. This was the Earth High School's student results and could be retrieved from the school's database at any time. It was completely open to the public.
The data was conclusive and couldn't be fake.
It was like a resounding slap on his face. The Head Butler was instantly speechless. His face was burning hot, but the more this was the case, the more he looked at Feng Lin with disgust.
The family rules couldn't be violated.
He was the guardian of the family rules. This Feng Lin wanted to break the family rules that had been in place for thousands of years just because he had a little achievement? He was simply delusional!
"1.5 vitality? What can this do? " He shifted his gaze away from Feng Lin's results and had a look of disdain on his face. "Earth High School is just a trashy school in Huaxia City. Your vitality isn't considered top-notch. How much ability do you have to get into a good university? If you can only get into some unqualified university on Earth, you'll be unemployed after you graduate. If you can't find a job, you'll be the family's burden! It's impossible to get rid of the family's duty with such a little vitality! "
His every word was filled with disdain, belittling Feng Lin's examination results and the school.
This was something Feng Lin couldn't accept. He suppressed the immense anger in his heart. He had wanted to tell the truth that his vitality had already reached 2.3, but it seemed like there was no need to say it now.
Feng Lin finally understood.
This Head Butler didn't think highly of him at all.
No matter what he said, it was useless. It would only attract more ridicule and mockery.
"Young man, don't bite off more than you can chew. Unless you can get into Interstellar University, there's no way you can get rid of the family's duty. Your talent and ability are far from being able to make an exception for you. You only have one choice now, and that is to obey the family's arrangements and go to the family factory for an internship. Otherwise, you won't even have a job in the future. You'll be chased out of the family and become a useless person wandering the streets of society! "The Head Butler's words were filled with a strong sense of warning. It sounded more like a threat.
I can't wait to be chased out of the family!
Feng Lin didn't care about the Head Butler's so-called warning.
If he really had to go to the family factory, he might as well leave!
But unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want to run away like a stray dog.
Get into Interstellar University?
Feng Lin didn't waste his time and said calmly, "How about this, let's make a bet?"
"What bet?" The Head Butler asked instinctively. The moment he said that, he immediately regretted it.
Feng Lin lowered his eyes, his gaze incomparably deep.
A bet was his last resort!
Although he knew that the success rate of this method was very low, the Head Butler was too cold and didn't give him any chance. Feng Lin could only try his best.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, he couldn't betray the family.
The society outside was incomparably cruel and chaotic.
It didn't matter to him, but his parents and younger siblings were all ordinary people. If he walked out rashly, he was afraid that the consequences would be very, very tragic …
Since Feng Lin inherited this body, he also bore the karma of this body.
He couldn't be so selfish and abandon his family in this life and leave alone.
Therefore, he could only do his best and give it a try.
"We can sign a bet agreement. The bet is whether I can get into Interstellar University after the college entrance examination. If I can't, I'll obediently return to the family, and from then on, I won't have any wild thoughts and will obediently serve the family. If I get in, I don't need anything. I just want the family to release the shackles on my family and let me freely pursue the path of cultivation! The family will also obtain a true genius who can get into Interstellar University. Small capital and huge profits, why not? "
At this point, Feng Lin paused for a moment. His gaze was as sharp as a sword, piercing straight over.
