Not long after he returned home, Linlong received a message. The Clan Leader wanted him to discuss something with the Clan Leader.
"Young Master, I heard from Ah Si that the Su Clan just left … They won't ask anything of you, will they?" Xiao Die asked Linlong worriedly.
They're here so soon. Linlong smiled without a hint of worry on his face. "Xiao Die, don't worry. I'll be right back."
Linlong then walked out of the room. After passing through two alleys, he arrived at the Clan Leader Lin Qingshan's courtyard.
Lin Qingshan's guard in front of the house seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When he saw Linlong, he shouted into the house, "Master, Young Master Linlong is here."
"Let him in." Lin Qingshan's elderly voice came from inside.
After nodding slightly at the guard, Linlong strode in.
The only light in the house was the study. So, after entering, Linlong headed straight for the study.
The door to the study was unlatched. After pushing the door open, Linlong saw Lin Qingshan's back facing him. Lin Qingshan was looking at a painting in the study. The words on the painting were powerful and contained some sort of martial arts.
"Grandfather." Linlong stopped and called out respectfully.
"Come in and take a seat." Lin Qingshan said calmly. There was no emotion in his tone.
Linlong took a few steps inside, but he did not sit down. Instead, he went straight to the point. "Grandfather, I know you called me here because of today's matter. So, why don't we talk openly and honestly?"
Lin Qingshan's eyebrows twitched when he heard Linlong's words. In his opinion, Linlong was in the wrong today. Originally, he wanted to use the same methods he used to teach the younger generation a lesson to suppress Linlong. He did not expect Linlong to not take the normal path.
When other juniors saw him, they all looked afraid of being scolded. But this Linlong brat, he clearly knew that he was being scolded but still acted fearlessly. That's right, if not for that, he would not have done what he did today. Thinking of this, Lin Qingshan turned around helplessly.
He knew that the original method of teaching Linlong a lesson would not work.
When Lin Qingshan sat down on the chair behind the desk in front of him, Linlong followed suit and sat down on the chair beside him.
Looking at Linlong's indifferent expression, and thinking of what the Su family had said just now, Lin Qingshan could not help but feel a trace of anger on his face.
It could be said that Linlong's recent rise had allowed him to see the future of the family. Who would have thought that Linlong would be so troublesome and cause such a big trouble so soon?
Not only did he slap Su Qingqing's butt in front of everyone, he even took advantage of Su Ranran. He was making enemies for the Lin Family!
From the fact that the Su family had sent someone over to demand, it was obvious how much the Su valued this matter.
Thinking about it, this was to be expected. After all, they had already bullied their family. If the Su family did not have any reaction, how would the Su family have the face to continue staying in Chuxi Town?
Moreover, Su Ranran already had a fiancé, and his fiancé was the son of the Great General of Black Wind City.
Thinking of the Great General of Black Wind City, Lin Qingshan couldn't help but frown. This wasn't an ordinary person. It could be said that the Lin Family's power wasn't enough to deal with the Great General of Black Wind City.
Having made such a strong enemy out of nowhere, Lin Qingshan's expression turned even uglier.
"Long 'er, what's going on today?" Lin Qingshan asked with a cold face.
Linlong did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Grandfather, what did the Su family say?"
Seeing that Linlong did not realize that he had done anything wrong, the anger in Lin Qingshan's heart grew. Subconsciously, his voice rose a few octaves. "Long 'er, you've made such a powerful enemy for the family. Don't you have any regrets?"
Linlong smiled faintly. "Grandfather, this matter is not about making enemies. It's a good thing."
"This is a good thing?" Lin Qingshan really did not understand what Linlong was thinking.
"Of course, you can think of it this way. Su Qingqing was taken advantage of by me in public. She has no one to marry, so in the end, she can only choose me. This way, the Su family will not object to our marriage proposal." Linlong said.
The corner of Lin Qingshan's mouth twitched. "That makes sense."
Although he did not know why Linlong would do such a thing, if it was really like this, it might not be a bad thing for the Lin family.
"But, why did you take advantage of Su Ranran?" Thinking of this, Lin Qingshan could not remain calm. The first matter could be shamelessly arranged by marriage, but the second matter would not be so easy. After all, her fiancé was the son of the General of Black Wind City, Zhou Mingzhi.
"Grandfather, this is all a misunderstanding." Linlong spread out his hands.
"Misunderstanding? Don't think that your grandfather is easy to fool. "Lin Qingshan sneered.
After listening to the people around him and then deducing the scene, Lin Qingshan was 100% sure that Linlong had done it on purpose. After all, how could an ordinary person only damage the other party's clothes with a martial skill like the Coiling Dragon Defense?
Even if it was him, he could only barely do this.
"If you don't think it's a misunderstanding, then it's fine. Long 'er can shoulder this matter and let the Su family and General Zhou's men deal with me." Linlong said indifferently.
"The Su family is not something you can deal with, let alone General Zhou. Don't you have any fear in your heart?" Lin Qingshan said coldly.
Of course, being bold was not a bad thing. What made Lin Qingshan depressed was that Linlong in front of him did not have the slightest awareness.
"Grandfather, I, Linlong, am destined to be a dragon that soars in the sky in the future. This small Black Wind City, Chu Xizhen, will not make me feel afraid at all!" Linlong said with a serious expression.
If it was in the past, Lin Qingshan would definitely think that Linlong was a madman, but now, Lin Qingshan did not think so, because Linlong's body suddenly revealed an incomparably powerful aura. This was a manifestation of extreme self-confidence.
"Alright." The corner of Lin Qingshan's mouth twitched again, and then he said helplessly, "You go back first."
After Linlong left, Lin Qingshan sat alone at the desk and pondered. At this moment, he seemed very conflicted. He really did not know how to choose. If he chose the first path, the Lin family would definitely take a huge risk.
However, if he chose the second path and let Linlong bear it alone, then he would completely ignore Linlong. Linlong could be said to be the future hope of the Lin family. If they gave up on Linlong, it was very likely that it would be difficult for the Lin family to rise in the future.
To protect or not to protect?
It was really difficult for Lin Qingshan to make a choice. This night, he did not sleep at all. He sat quietly at the desk and thought about this question, weighing the pros and cons of various aspects.
It was not until the sky outside the window brightened and the light shone through the window onto the desk that he finally made a decision.
