C12 Award

In the afternoon, in the Lin Family's business hall, almost all of the twenty odd people that were the manager of the Lin Family were invited by Lin Yuan and Lin Long.

The first one who spoke was Elder Ge, who narrated how Lin Long had tactfully lied to him.

"Even though you are a direct descendant of the family, Lin Long, for you to do such a thing, how can you submit to the masses without severely punishing them?"

"I never thought that you, Lin Long, would actually be such a person. It's truly disappointing."

"Fifth brother is born with a mellow disposition and hates evil like a hatred. I never thought that his son would be such a person."

"It wouldn't be too much if such a person were to be expelled from the family."

"It is indeed not excessive, because there is such a rule in the family iron law. Anyone who commits a serious crime must immediately be expelled from the family."

After Elder Ge finished speaking, everyone present could not help but shake their heads. They did not expect Lin Long to be so shameless and brazen, as they all started to criticize him.

Seeing everyone's expression now, Lin Yuanhe was very satisfied in his heart, but when he thought about the Spirit Orchid Grass that Lin Long had taken away, his face immediately darkened, and he immediately turned to Lin Long as he asked in a stern voice, "Lin Long, do you have anything else to say?"

"What I want to say is still the same. This Spirit Orchid Grass is originally mine." Lin Long said lightly.

Upon hearing this, the crowd that was originally scolding Lin Long immediately stopped their discussion, and looked at Lin Long, Lin Yu and the rest in shock. If what Lin Long had said was true, then this matter would not be as simple as it seemed.

"You won't cry until you see the coffin." Lin Yuanhe sneered, and then said to Lin Rong, who had also been called over, "Lin Rong, tell me what exactly happened?"

Regarding this matter, Lin Yuanhe had also heard about it from his own son, Lin Yu. Lin Yu said that at that time, it was him who discovered and obtained the Spirit Orchid Grass, and then when he was leaving together with Lin Rong and Lin Long that they encountered a powerful demon beast. In the end, the three of them worked together to force the demon beast away, but in the process, Lin Long was accidentally injured by the demon beast.

Whether or not what Lin Yu had said was true, he did not believe that the current Lin Rong would go back on his words, given that Lin Yu and Lin Rong had firmly believed in the truth of the matter.

More importantly, he had a good relationship with Lin Rong's father, Lin Yuanli.

And as long as Lin Rong was speaking the same words as before, Lin Long would not be able to turn the situation around.

Under the gazes of the crowd, Lin Rong appeared to be hesitating. It was only under the urging of his father that he finally stepped forward.

"Great Clan Elder, the situation was like this. Back then, it was not Lin Yu who obtained the Spirit Orchid Grass, but Lin Long who obtained it. Only after Lin Long told us about this matter, did we find out.

"Lin Rong, what did you say? How can you invert right and wrong?" Hearing Lin Rong's words, Lin Yu who was half reclining on a chair, had a bad look on his face.

Lin Yuanhe's expression had also turned somewhat ugly. As for the people around, their expressions were strange. It seemed that this matter was indeed rather complicated.

"Young Master Lin Yu, it's judgement time now, please do not interrupt others." Zhang Zhi's voice sounded at the right time.

Lin Yu could only shut his mouth helplessly, but his eyes were fiercely staring at Lin Rong who was not far away.

"Alright, Young Master Lin Rong, please continue." Zhang Zhi indicated.

"Originally, I didn't have any intention of getting this Spirit Orchid Grass, but then Lin Yu secretly pulled me to the side and said that if I helped him get the Spirit Orchid Grass, he would give me a great debt." Lin Rong continued.

"You're slandering me." Lin Yu who had just lied back down suddenly shouted again.

"Shut up!" He then turned to face Lin Rong and said coldly, "Lin Rong, right now we are in the family's main hall, not playing games outside. So I hope you do not casually frame anyone, or else the consequences will not be something you can bear."

After saying that, Lin Yuanhe's gaze shifted to Lin Rong's father, Lin Yuanliao. However, he realized that Lin Yuanliao did not dare to look at him.

Damn it, what was going on with this family? Lin Yuanhe cursed in his heart.

"Understood, Grand Elder." Lin Rong said softly, but his following words caused both Lin Yuan and Lin Yu's expressions to turn ugly.

"Because Lin Yu is the Great Clan Elder's son, and even promised to give me the secret manual for the Coiling Dragon Hands, I promised to do it later on. Later on, when Lin Long wasn't paying attention, we would slap him unconscious, and unlike what I said before, Lin Long was not injured by a demon beast. Then, Lin Yu took away the Spirit Orchid Grass on Lin Long's body, and gave me the secret manual for the Coiling Dragon Hands a few days after we returned to our clan."

"Lin Rong, stop slandering us. There is no such thing." Lin Yu retorted loudly, but he did not notice that his voice was trembling.

Lin Rong silently took out a pamphlet that he praised for his newness. The pamphlet had the words "Coiling Dragon Hands" written on it. The handwriting seemed very new, as if it had just been written not long ago.

"Zhang Wei, please take a look." Lin Rong handed over the booklet.

When Zhang Zhi took the booklet and focused his gaze on the booklet, everyone's attention was also focused on Zhang Zhi.

As for Lin Yu, his face was already deathly pale, while Lin Yuanhe, who was at the side, stared at him fiercely.

After looking at it for a while, Zhang Zhi said, "This is indeed the secret manual for the Coiling Dragon Hands."

As he finished speaking, the entire audience burst into an uproar, because the Coiling Dragon Hands were not some common goods or martial skill shared by the Lin Family. Instead, it was a martial skill from Lin Yu's mother, the Wang Family.

Of course, the Wang family would not agree to pass their martial skills to the Lin family in public. Therefore, the secret scroll that appeared in Lin Rong's hands was definitely because of their trade, not to mention that the secret scroll in Lin Rong's hands was simply a handwritten copy.

In other words, the truth had already been revealed and it was Lin Yu's fault.

"I never thought that this Lin Yu was actually so cunning." Such a thought flashed across the minds of almost everyone present.

Considering Lin Yu's father, the Lin Family's Great Elder Lin Yuanhe was standing right in front of them. Thus, they did not criticize Lin Yu like they did Lin Long.

"Alright, now we understand the whole situation," Zhang Zhi laughed.

However, he was interrupted by Lin Yuanhe before he could finish speaking, "Zhang Wei, don't be in such a hurry to make a decision. This scroll was undoubtedly given to Lin Rong by my son, Lin Yu, but it is only because of the deep friendship between the younger generation. It has nothing to do with this matter.

Lin Rong's expression changed as he hurriedly said, "Great Elder, this Coiling Dragon Hands manual is indeed related to this matter. If it wasn't for it, why would I be willing to do such a bad thing?"

"Lin Rong, tell me, who was the one who bewitched you?" Lin Yuanhe did not bother about Lin Rong at all, and instead, he roared at him.

Lin Rong didn't even dare to refute her for a moment.

At this moment, Lin Rong's father suddenly stood up and protected his son behind him. He said coldly, "Grand Elder, what my son said is the truth."

"Hmph, what truth? It's clearly someone trying to seduce Lin Yu." Lin Yuanhe said.

Shameless, truly shameless!

Upon seeing this scene, everyone cursed Grand Elder Lin Yuanhe in their hearts. They did not expect Lin Yuanhe to be such a cunning old fox. The truth had already been confirmed, yet he was still trying to defend himself.

However, since there were only Lin Yu, Lin Rong and Lin Long as the parties involved, Lin Yuan and the others could not do anything about it if they insisted that this was a false accusation.

Of course, if not for Lin Yuanhe's identity, everyone would have agreed by now to suppress Lin Yu.

Seeing that the situation was in a deadlock, an elderly voice suddenly sounded from behind the discussion hall. "Lin Yuanhe, you have disappointed me so much."

"The Patriarch is here!"

Hearing such a voice, everyone in the discussion hall was delighted.

Indeed, the one who walked out from the screen behind him was the Lin Family Patriarch, Lin Qingshan, who had not appeared for a long time.

Lin Qingshan was dressed in a black robe, his hair was white, and he had a three-inch-long beard.

"Father, why have you come?" Lin Yuanhe's expression changed.

"If I don't come, wouldn't the Lin Clan be making a ruckus because of you?" Lin Qingshan glared at him fiercely.

Then, he swept his eyes across everyone present and said in a clear voice, "The evidence is already conclusive, there's no need to investigate this anymore. Zhang Wei, clean up the events that happened, and those who make mistakes will be punished according to the family's iron law."

"Yes, Lord Patriarch."
