Chapter 685 The Tragic Lin Family
After listening to the words of the head of the Lin family, the emperor said calmly: "Is that so? Duke Guan, tell me, is that the case?"
Guan Fan stepped forward, saluted the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, the facts are not as the head of the Lin family said. In fact, the competition between Chen Shu and Lin Jingtian was very fierce. Both sides used their best tricks. In that situation, it is difficult for people to control the strength of their moves. In fact, Chen Shu did not have the subjective intention to kill Lin Jingtian. Even if he did, it was Lin Jingtian who had the intention to kill him first."
"Duke Guan, speak with conscience!" The head of the Lin family said sternly.
Guan Fan said calmly, "I, Guan, always speak according to my conscience. It is the head of the Lin family who needs to touch his conscience and ask himself whether what he said is in accordance with his conscience."
"Okay!" The emperor interrupted, "Duke Guan has a reason and I will listen to him."
The head of the Lin family hated so much that fire was about to burst out of his eyes. He could have killed Su Chen today to avenge Lin Jingtian, but because of the emperor's appearance, they were doomed to fail again today.
Could it be that Chen Shu was the calamity star of their Lin family, and was sent by God to defeat their Lin family?
"You follow me."
Emperor Yunyuan said to Su Chen.
Su Chen smiled faintly and got on the sedan chair with Emperor Yunyuan.
The sedan chair was lifted by the yellow-clothed guards, and Leng Xuhui, with a wooden face, followed the sedan chair.
Xue Yong, Gu Qianyin, Li Shitong and others brought by Su Chen also left the stadium with the sedan chair.
It was not until the emperor's sedan chair completely left that Prince Rui stopped staring at it, his expression solemn.
The head of the Lin family, standing by, had already looked like he was going to kill someone. He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and opened his mouth to say something.
Prince Rui immediately gave the head of the Lin family a warning look and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back!"
Prince Rui waved his hand and left the arena with the head of the Lin family and a group of Lin family leaders.
Everyone looked at the backs of the Lin family with sympathy. Today's genius sword fight can be said to be the most humiliating day in the history of the Lin family. They lost a promising first genius in vain, but they could not avenge themselves. This can no longer be described as just aggrieved, but tragic.
"I never thought that the Lin family, which has always been prosperous, would have such a day."
"To sum it up, the Lin family started to have bad luck after they had a grudge with Chen Shu."
"First it was Lin Cheng, then Lin Jingtian. The two great geniuses of the Lin family, Dan Wu, were killed by Chen Shu one after another. Now the Lin family probably hates Chen Shu to the core."
"So what if they hate him to the core? The Lin family failed to kill Chen Shu today, and it will probably be difficult to kill him in the future. Chen Shu is already an imperial marquis, the same as the head of the six major families. And the Lin family is destined to go downhill."
"That's right. The Lin family has lost two promising geniuses one after another, and the rest are just average. I'm afraid that in the next fifty years, the Lin family will go from strength to strength, and may even be kicked out of the six major families."
Everyone was talking about it. The martial arts world is so cruel, and powerful families are always competing with each other. The Lin family lost two great geniuses of Dan Wu, which is equivalent to losing its core competitiveness for the next fifty years. It is not surprising that they will be kicked out of the six major families.
You know, there are still many powerful families in the imperial capital, waiting to squeeze into the position of the six major families.
Before today's genius sword contest, no one thought that this year's genius sword contest would end with such a miserable ending for the Lin family.
...
Not long after, Prince Rui's mansion.
The head of the Lin family said anxiously: "Your Highness, are we just going to let it go? Just let that kid go?"
Prince Rui glanced at the head of the Lin family and said coldly: "It's time, you are still thinking about that kid, you should think about yourself!"
"Think about myself?" The head of the Lin family was stunned by what Prince Rui said.
Prince Rui said coldly: "After losing Lin Jingtian, what kind of situation is the Lin family in now? Do I need to tell you? Looking at the entire imperial capital, how many families are ready to get into the six major families at any time, and how many families are eagerly looking forward to the Lin family's loss of power. Do I need to say more about the rest?"
The head of the Lin family was shocked by what Prince Rui said. He was not really short-sighted, but was just blinded by hatred.
Now, after being said by Prince Rui, he calmed down a little: "Jingtian is dead. Although Lin Song has some talent, he is still a little far from being a real top genius. In the future, who will carry the responsibility of the Lin family's future?"
The head of the Lin family said, the more he thought about it, the more hateful he became. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "If Jingtian was still alive, the Lin family would have a promising future. It would be just around the corner to surpass the Guan family and become the first family in the empire!"
"But now, all of this has been destroyed by Chen Shu."
The head of the Lin family sat dejectedly on the chair.
Prince Rui's eyes sparkled with brilliance, and he said calmly, "Don't be discouraged yet. As long as I become the emperor, the Lin family will still have a chance to soar to the sky."
The head of the Lin family nodded subconsciously. Prince Rui was right. If Prince Rui could
