"Something happened to House Donglin's ore vein, and it's been going from bad to worse."
At this point, Lin Xiao's tone was filled with anger and unwillingness. "Our Donglin Mansion has occupied the spirit vein for so many years. If we lose the support of the spirit vein in the future, we will definitely lose our competitiveness in front of the other big families!"
Qin Yi nodded slightly. He could understand the situation.
After all, there was a lot of open and veiled strife between the five Lins. Without a strong backer, they could very well be swallowed up by the other houses.
"So, what does the patriarch hope for Qin Mo to do?"
"This matter can be said to be simple, but it can also be said to be difficult."
Lin Xiao's eyes were dark. "I heard from Peng 'er that you want to win the favor of a great sect through our competition?"
Qin Yi nodded and answered honestly, "That is indeed the case! Qin Mo came to Five Woodlands City to find a bigger sky for himself! "
"In that case, you and I have the same goal!"
Lin Xiao said, "If you want to be appreciated by the big sects, you have to shine in the competition between the five Lin families! If you can do well for House Donglin, not only will you win the favor of a great sect, but House Donglin will also get a good ranking and redistribute the spirit vein resources. "
"Qin Mo wants to know what the patriarch's goal is," Qin Yi said. "What does Qin Mo need to achieve in order to win the favor of a great sect?"
"That is exactly why I called you here today," Lin Xiao answered. "I need you to help House Donglin win first place! Only by winning first place will you have the chance to win the favor of a great sect and be recruited. "
Qin Yi thought for a moment, then said helplessly, "To tell you the truth, Qin Mo hasn't been in Five Woodlands City for very long, and I've had even less contact with House Lin. I don't know much about the backgrounds and circumstances of these houses. Therefore, it's very difficult for Qin Mo to give Master and Young Master a clear answer now! "
After staring at Qin Yi for a moment, Lin Xiao nodded with a smile and said, "I'm very gratified that you're able to speak frankly!"
After a pause, he continued, "But you don't have to worry about this. Later on, I'll give you a list of the participants and their cultivation bases. When the time comes, you'll have to figure out who your true opponent is. As long as you do what needs to be done, House Donglin will not mistreat you, no matter what the final outcome is. "
Qin Yi cupped his hands together and said: "In that case, Qin Mo thanks the Patriarch."
Lin Xiao smiled, stood up, and walked to Qin Yi's side. He patted his shoulder and said, "The rules of Five Woods City have always been like this. As long as you have the ability, you will be valued wherever you go. Qin Yi, I believe that you won't disappoint me and Peng 'er. "
At this moment, Lin Dongpeng also said, "Back then, I also didn't expect that I would actually be able to pick up such a great benefit from an ambush. I believe in you, Qin Yi. You won't disappoint me! "
Qin Yi smiled and nodded, then strode out of the hall and disappeared from sight.
After watching Qin Yi leave, Lin Dongpeng turned to Lin Xiao. "Father, what do you think of Qin Yi?"
The smile on Lin Xiao's face faded, and his eyes grew dark. "There's more to this kid than meets the eye. To be honest, if possible, I'd like to keep him here and have him continue to serve Donglin Manor. "
Lin Dongpeng asked again, "If that's what you're thinking, why don't you tell him directly? With House Donglin's wealth, it shouldn't be too difficult to come up with an offer that will tempt him to stay. "
"You're still very young, Peng 'er."
Lin Xiao sighed. "You may have the ability to read people and the courage to use them, but you're still lacking when it comes to probing into other people's minds."
Lin Dongpeng quickly became serious. "Please enlighten me, father!"
Lin Xiao said, "Although this is the first time I've met him, I can see in his eyes the determination to move forward and the indomitable will to fight! The most important thing was that he had an arrogant and unruly character! I'm afraid that no one can tame a person like this! You can make a temporary deal with him, but if you force him to stay and restrict his future, I believe that he'll become our greatest enemy in no time! "
Lin Dongpeng pondered for a moment, then nodded. "I understand. Thank you for your teachings, father."
Lin Xiao nodded. "It's only been a few days, but he's managed to cultivate Ling Jing's Light Juggling Method to this level. This Qin Yi is definitely more talented than you are. I'd like to know why I haven't heard anyone mention his name in Jade Willow Country if he's so talented. "
"It's not that no one has mentioned his name," Lin Dongpeng said. "It's just that the way he became famous is a bit different from what we expected."
"What do you mean?" Lin Xiao asked hurriedly.
"You may not know this, father, but I've been investigating his background since the moment he moved into Donglin Manor."
Lin Dongpeng said, "Before coming to Five Woodlands City, Qin Yi has always been a pill master. He was the second elder of the Azure Pill House in Qingli City. Moreover, he refined the Thousand Refined Star Tears Powder during the pill dao conference of Jade Willow Country. Since then, he's become an existence that all pill dao factions can't ignore. "
Lin Xiao frowned. "You're saying that aside from being a martial genius, this kid also has extraordinary achievements in pill dao? It looks like we can't afford to offend him. Trust me, if we form a good relationship with him now, we'll reap unimaginable rewards in the future! Perhaps the rise of House Donglin's status in Five Woodlands City will depend on him. "
Lin Dongpeng stared at his father in shock, speechless for a long time. To be honest, this was the first time he had heard his father give such a high evaluation to a young man whom he had only met once!
"Peng 'er, there's still some time before the competition. In this time, we must increase Young Hero Qin's strength at all costs!"
