The other result was that he would have a falling out with the Xiao family. However, if he did that, the price would be higher, and he would have no moral support.
Everyone knew that the Lin family was supported by the Xiao family, but now they had to draw a line with the Xiao family at this critical moment. It was like betrayal.
How could the Xiao family tolerate betrayal from their own people? They would definitely attack the Lin family.
If the Xiao family could support the Lin family, they could also destroy the Lin family easily. The Lin family head could not bear the consequences of extermination, so he had to be very careful before making a choice.
Now, he felt that he could not bear it anymore.
The matter itself was no longer important. What was important was how the Lin family should stand in the future.
Currently, Donglin Town was in a tripartite balance of power, but the Xiao family and the Wang family were about to fight, and the situation would be changed again.
Many of the Wang family's elders had been captured by the Xiao family. If the Lin family acted at this time, they could take the biggest piece of the cake and might even be the final winner.
Of course, this possibility was very small, and it could only be done if the two families suffered great losses and perished together.
However, even if they could not be the final winner, they could at least change the situation of the tripartite balance of power. For example, if one of the families was completely destroyed, then Donglin Town would be divided into two groups in the future.
The head of the Lin Family walked slowly towards the ancestral hall of the Lin Family. As he walked, he pondered over the pros and cons.
After walking for about 15 minutes, he arrived at the entrance of the Lin family's ancestral hall and saw an old man sweeping the floor.
The old man was dressed very plainly, and his face was also very ordinary. He was the kind that people would automatically ignore at first sight.
However, when the Lin family head walked in front of this person, he suddenly knelt down and called him Ancestor.
Yes, this ordinary-looking sweeper was the Lin family's Ancestor, a powerful person with a Martial Arts Grandmaster cultivation.
The Lin family's Ancestor was expressionless, and he was still sweeping the floor slowly. The floor made a rhythmic sweeping sound, and the leaves and dust on the ground were swept up.
He didn't even turn his head. With his back facing the Lin Family Head, he said indifferently, "What business do you have with me?"
The Patriarch of the Lin Family did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly said, "It's about the Lin Family's position in the future."
Then, the Lin Family's Patriarch told Old Man Lin the result of his thoughts along the way so that Old Man Lin could make the decision.
The old ancestor of the Lin family didn't seem to hear him and continued to sweep the floor quietly.
After a long silence, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "The Lin family was supported by the Xiao family. If you want the Lin family to be independent, then you have to break away from the Xiao family's restrictions and influence. Therefore, when the two families are at war, the Lin family has to take advantage of this opportunity to rise. Otherwise, we will still be enslaved by the Xiao family in the future, unless the Xiao family is destroyed by the Wang family. "
The head of the Lin family was suddenly enlightened.
Although it was just two short sentences, the information it contained was indeed shocking.
He said, "I know what to do."
Old Man Lin nodded and replied, "Hmm."
What else could he do? It was just a collaboration with the Wang Family.
Sometimes, morality was not important. What was important was benefits. This was for large families and forces like them.
Throughout history, when large countries went to war, it was for benefits. As for morality, it was nothing more than a hypocritical mask to start a war.
Old Man Lin slowly put down the broom and sat on the stone bench at the side. He quietly looked at the Lin Family's Patriarch and said slowly, "When the time comes, I will go with you."
The Lin Family's Patriarch nodded in shock and looked at the old ancestor in disbelief.
This was because the old ancestor of the Lin family had been silent here for decades. Now that he announced that he had come out of seclusion, it was simply unbelievable.
However, this was something that he could not wish for. The Lin Family's Patriarch was overjoyed. With the old ancestor of the Lin family by his side, their chances of winning would definitely increase greatly.
The old ancestor and the Lin Family's Patriarch were the absolute rulers of the Lin family. Since they had made a decision, the Lin family already had a basic direction.
At this moment, another old man walked out of the ancestral hall.
This old man wore a black robe. His face was old, and his skin was wrinkled. He looked haggard.
He smiled and walked in front of the two of them kindly. Then, he chose a clean stone bench and sat down.
The Lin Family's Patriarch's face was full of vigilance. He looked extremely cautious as he stared at the other party.
He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He frowned and asked unkindly, "Who are you? Why are you here? "
Yes, although the Lin family could not be compared to the Xiao family and the Wang family, the Lin family was not weak. The other party dared to trespass here. This was a provocation to the Lin family. He did not put the Lin family in his eyes. This also showed how powerful the other party's cultivation was.
The Lin Family's Patriarch did not dare to underestimate him. If the other party dared to act rashly, he would definitely inform his guards immediately. No matter what, he had to protect the old ancestor of the Lin family.
The black-robed old man chuckled and said slowly, "This junior of the Lin family is quite alert."
The Lin Family's Patriarch chuckled with a gentle expression. He introduced to the Lin Family's Patriarch, "Don't worry, the other party has good intentions. He is the Wang family's Patriarch."
What? It was the Wang family's Patriarch?
Oh my god, this was too shocking. The Wang family's Patriarch, who had been in seclusion for decades, actually came out and appeared here.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly understood. The two Patriarchs had gathered together. They must be up to something big. No wonder the Lin family's Patriarch asked him to form an alliance with the Wang family.
"Greetings to the Wang family's Patriarch."
The Lin Family's Patriarch hurriedly bowed.
The Wang family's Patriarch nodded slowly and said calmly, "I'll cut to the chase. As long as the Lin family and the Wang family form an alliance to suppress the Xiao family, the Lin family will be the second most powerful family in the future. This is my promise."
"In addition to me, two more Martial Arts Grandmasters will come from Wuyang City to help. As long as we join forces, we can bring out five Martial Arts Grandmasters. It's more than enough to deal with a mere Xiao family."
"The genius of Wuyang City's main family has taken a fancy to your Lin family's precious daughter, Lin Shanshan. When the time comes, our two families will be in-laws and can jointly manage Donglin Town. It's a happy occasion."
The Wang family's Patriarch's words made the Lin family's Patriarch's heart palpitate. His eyes were filled with anticipation and his breathing quickened.
One had to know that this was five Martial Arts Grandmasters working together. Xiao family only had two Martial Arts Grandmasters.
Their high-end combat strength was enough to wipe out the entire Xiao family. This was a sure-win situation.
Not to mention that his daughter, Lin Shanshan, could be saved and was chosen by the genius of Wuyang City. No matter how one looked at it, it was a gain.
The Lin family's Patriarch's expression changed slightly. He also felt that this was a very good deal.
"I wish us success."
The two families reached an alliance agreement.
