"Try to think about it. On this continent, cultivation is the most important thing. Men are almost always in charge. Women can only be vassals without any status. Killing them is killing them. Can't you understand this simple principle? "
Lin Shanshan did not refute. She just kept crying. Tears blurred her eyes, her face was pale, and her body was trembling.
She no longer begged for mercy. She knew that even Xiao Yang and Xiao Chen did not speak. She was destined to have a tragic ending. She allowed Xiao Fali to escort her away.
The Lin family of Donglin Town.
The mansion was majestic and the courtyard was deep.
The head of the Lin family sat in the main seat of the hall with a dignified face. His expression was somewhat ugly and his face was cold.
He looked fiercely at all the family stewards present. His eyes were full of anger.
Recently, there was news that the head elder of the Lin family and the daughter of the Lin family, Lin Shanshan, had been captured by the Xiao family. This was a major event that was like being struck by lightning. It was humiliating and unlucky.
None of the people present dared to make a sound. They all lowered their heads, their faces full of anger.
They also did not expect the Xiao family to do such a thing.
Everyone knew very well that the Lin family and the Xiao family had always been in a friendly alliance. How could the Xiao family treat the Lin family like this?
Many of the senior members of the Lin family frowned. They were dissatisfied. Although the two families were in an alliance, the Lin family was actually supported by the Xiao family. Therefore, the Lin family was basically subordinate to the Xiao family. Even so, the Xiao family had interfered with their family affairs without even informing them. This was very immoral.
? The Xiao family's sudden action and the capture of the head elder of the Lin family and the daughter of the Lin family, Lin Shanshan, was simply a slap in the face. It could be considered as completely tearing apart the friendship between the two families.
"Who can tell me what happened? Why did the Xiao family do this? Don't they know that the Wang family is eyeing them covetously? "
The head of the Lin Family roared. Because he was too angry, the teacup in his hand shattered, and the tea spilled onto the ground.
The stewards of the Lin family were now divided into three factions. One faction was neutral, and the other was the opposition faction. They had always been disgusted with the Xiao family, especially the Xiao family's interference in their family affairs. The last faction was the pro-Xiao faction. They were very satisfied with the Xiao family and hoped that they could continue to form an alliance with the Xiao family and maintain a friendly and cooperative relationship. They had been trying their best to explain what had happened. Was there any misunderstanding?
Because of this, the two factions started a fierce quarrel.
The Lin Family Head's face was gloomy as he listened to their noisy voices.
The entire hall was in an uproar. Everyone was arguing to the point that their faces were flushed red, and they wished for nothing more than to roll up their sleeves and go all out.
At this moment, a scout came in to report.
Reporting.
The scout's shout came from the door.
"Don't make a fuss. Shut the f * ck up!"
After waiting for all the stewards present to shut their mouths, he roared and impatiently said, "First, call the spy in."
The head of the Lin Family roared, his face full of anger.
He wanted to know what the latest situation was.
Not long after, the scout entered the hall.
He glanced around and saw that many stewards were present. His heart couldn't help but tighten. Looking carefully, he saw that almost all the upper echelons of the family were gathered here.
What had happened?
His heart tightened again, and his scalp went numb. Although he didn't know what they were discussing here, something that could cause so many upper echelons of the family to gather here must have happened.
He was very nervous, and his lips trembled. He looked at the head of the Lin Family and hurriedly said, "Reporting."
"The Xiao family sent a message." He hurriedly took out a jade slip.
The head of the Lin Family made a sound of surprise and looked suspiciously at the scout. The other upper echelons of the Lin Family all turned their gazes to the scout.
The scout suddenly felt many gazes landing on him. His body couldn't help but tremble, and he almost couldn't help but kneel on the ground.
Their prestige and cultivation were really too strong, and he almost couldn't bear it.
The scout hurriedly said, "The Xiao family asked why the head elder of the Lin Family wanted to assassinate Xiao Yang. Also, why did the daughter of the Lin Family, Lin Shanshan, betray Xiao Chen? She actually had the delusion of being together with the heaven's pride of the Wang Family, and even used a dagger to assassinate Xiao Chen."
After the scout finished this message, cold sweat overflowed, and the clothes on his back were soaked with sweat.
He looked at everyone with a nervous expression.
Before this, he didn't know that this message was like this. He only received a jade slip.
The jade slip was a message from the Xiao family. He read this message in front of all the stewards of the family.
So when he learned that this message was from the Xiao family questioning the Lin Family, he was terrified to the extreme.
What was going on?
The head of the Lin Family roared and slammed his palm on the table. With a bang, the table shattered.
Yes, he still didn't know what was going on. He just heard that the head elder of the Lin Family and Lin Shanshan were arrested. Then he received the question from the Xiao family.
What the hell is going on here?
His sharp gaze swept across everyone present, and this gaze carried a hint of interrogation.
The members of the opposition hurriedly expressed their opinions, saying that this was the Xiao family's plan to sow discord. It must be that the Xiao family was dissatisfied with the Lin Family and wanted to annex the Lin Family, so they found an excuse to make a move against them.
Immediately, a member of the opposition agreed and said, "Everyone knows that the First Elder of the Lin Clan and the daughter of the Lin Clan have always been well-behaved. How could they cause trouble for no reason? The Xiao Clan must be looking for trouble."
Those who were close to the Xiao Family immediately retorted, "Bullshit, this is simply slander. Don't you know what kind of character the Lin Family's First Elder and Lin Family's daughter have?"
Another member of the pro-xiao faction echoed, "That's right! Don't we know what kind of person the Lin Family is? How could they accuse people for no reason? If they want to annex the Lin Family, then why would they ally with the Lin Family? I think there must be something wrong. "
The neutral faction remained silent from beginning to end. They didn't say anything, but their expressions were complicated as if they were deep in thought.
The head of the Lin Family saw that they were about to quarrel again. This kind of endless quarrel annoyed him. He snorted coldly and released the powerful cultivation of a ninth-stage Martial Master, enveloping the whole place.
Everyone present immediately stopped quarreling.
At this time, the head of the Lin Family looked at the spy and snorted, "Does the Xiao family have any evidence to question us like this?"
The spy was so scared that his face turned pale and cold sweat overflowed from his forehead. He even stuttered and hurriedly said, "Reporting to the head of the family, in addition to the jade slip, the Xiao family has another gift for you."
