Chapter 883: Chapter 903: Pale as Paper Chapter 883: Chapter 903: Pale as Paper Lin Aotian saw the situation and was overjoyed in his heart, hastily speaking, “Lin Xuan, since you’re unwilling to let Lin Yu off, then I, Lin Aotian, am willing to abandon the family!”

Saying so, Lin Aotian attempted to stand and leave.

However, just at that moment, Lin Aotian felt a burst of acute pain coursing through his body.

“Ah!”

Lin Aotian screamed in agony and fell back to the ground, his complexion pale as paper.

“I advise you to be more sensible!” Lin Xuan said coldly.

Lin Aotian clenched his teeth but dared not utter another word.

His strength was far too inferior to Lin Xuan’s, to the point where even self-protection was extremely difficult; where would he dare to dissent?

“Lin Yu, over these years, you’ve committed many wicked deeds; all along you have oppressed the members of our Lin Family, and you even abandoned a newborn child in the wilderness. Don’t you think you deserve to be punished?” Lin Xuan said coldly.

“This, this… I, I had no choice!” With a bitter expression, Lin Yu hurriedly began to explain.

“Had no choice?” Lin Xuan scoffed with a cold laugh, “Lin Yu, your gall is truly considerable; you actually dare to oppress the members of the Lin Family?”

“I, I didn’t want to, but who told them they aren’t from the Lin Family? If I spared them, that would be a truly grievous sin!” Lin Yu said with a bitter smile.

“Heh.” Lin Xuan laughed disdainfully, “Lin Yu, I really question what your head is for!”

“What do you mean?” Lin Yu frowned.

“You think I don’t know that you’ve been intent on nurturing Lin Yi to become the successor to the family head and then seize the position of the head of the Lin Family?”

Lin Xuan spoke, “Lin Yi is my adopted son; how could I possibly stand by and watch you harm my adopted son?

If I don’t eliminate you now, would Lin Yi not continue to suffer such treatment in the future?”

Lin Xuan looked coldly at Lin Yu and said icily, “Lin Yu, if you know what’s good for you, hand over the control willingly. Otherwise, today will be your death anniversary!”

“You, you… Lin Xuan, don’t think I’m afraid of you! There are many masters in the Lin Family! If you kill me, you definitely won’t escape being hunted down!” Lin Yu hastily shouted with panic evident in his tone.

Lin Yu knew that Lin Xuan’s strength was extremely terrifying, and if he did not surrender, there would only be a dead end!

“Oh? Is that so? What I’m waiting for is precisely your family’s masters to come rushing over!” Lin Xuan sneered.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu’s face suddenly stiffened.

Lin Xuan’s words were clearly meant to intimidate him.

If Lin Xuan were truly afraid of the family’s masters, he wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant!

“Lin Xuan, the masters of the Lin Family aren’t as simple as you think, each one of them capable of killing you,” Lin Yu said coldly.

“And what of it?”

Lin Xuan smirked dismissively, “What of the Lin Family’s masters? I would still slay them all.”

Lin Xuan wasn’t boasting; although he was unaware of exactly how many masters the Lin Family had, the strength of the Lin Family was definitely far beyond his expectations, even surpassing that of the sect of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

“Alright, enough nonsense! Now, I declare that you, Lin Yu, henceforth are a traitor to the Lin Family, no longer the family head,” Lin Xuan said solemnly.

“You, what did you say? You, you can’t do this to me!” Lin Yu roared.

“Why can’t I? Lin Yu, I’m giving you two choices: submit to me, or die. Make your choice,” Lin Xuan sneered.

“Hmph!”

Lin Yu snorted coldly, unwilling to just die like that.

But, he had no other choice, as there were too many formidable people present; dispatching any one of them was enough to kill him instantly!

Therefore, he could only choose to submit.

Of course, in choosing to submit, Lin Yu also passed on the position of the head of the Lin Family to Lin Yi.

He knew that Lin Yi was the unquestionable choice to be the head of the Lin Family!

…

When Lin Yi learned about Lin Yu’s predicament, he couldn’t help but sigh helplessly in his heart.

The number of masters in the Lin Family far exceeded Lin Yi’s estimation, so it was no surprise that Lin Yu was wiped out.

“Father, now that the position of the head of the Lin Family has been handed over to me, I will leave everything here to you,” Lin Yi said slowly, with a smile on his face.

Upon hearing this, Lin Aotian felt a mix of emotions, as he had not expected Lin Yi to truly hand over the leadership of the family to him.

“Good, good, good.”

Lin Aotian repeated the word “good” three times, obviously very satisfied with the outcome.

Lin Yi’s decision was entirely made from his perspective; Lin Aotian was deeply touched and comforted!

“Father, I must be going now!” Lin Yi said with a smile, then turned and walked towards the exit, seemingly without any attachment to the place.

“Um!”

Lin Aotian nodded slightly, his gaze following Lin Yi, his face showing a hint of worry.

“Father, there’s no need to worry. I, Lin Yi, am not a pushover. Not to mention the position of the head of the Lin Family, even if I had the entire Lin Family in my grasp, I could manage it!” Lin Yi said to Lin Aotian, smiling.

Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Lin Aotian finally showed a smile: “Good, I believe in my son!”

“Father, I ask you to temporarily act as the head of the Lin Family for a while. I hope to find Lin Hao soon and avenge him,” Lin Yi said.

“Alright, I promise you,” Lin Aotian nodded slightly.

“Father, I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t accompany you any longer,” Lin Yi said with a bow and then left the hall.

Watching Lin Yi’s retreating figure, Lin Aotian shook his head inwardly.

He knew all too well that Lin Yi wasn’t really concerned for Lin Hao’s safety, but rather saw this as an opportunity to bridge the gap with Lin Hao!

How could Lin Aotian not see through Lin Yi’s intentions?

But Lin Yi’s thoughts left Lin Aotian feeling helpless.

“Alas, Lin Yi, why are you so obstinate and insist on opposing the Lin Family?

Do you really content yourself with being just an ordinary disciple?” Lin Aotian sighed.

…

“Lin Xuan, I keep my word. I have defeated Lin Yu, and now the position of the head of the Lin Family is mine. Now, it’s your turn, isn’t it?” Lin Yi looked at Lin Xuan with a playful expression in his eyes, smiling.

“You want the position of the head of the Lin Family? Too bad, you’re not qualified!” Lin Xuan laughed, “I tell you now, I will make your life worse than death!”

“Hahaha!”

Hearing this, Lin Xuan burst into laughter.

“Lin Xuan, what are you laughing at?” Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, “Do you really think you can stand against me?”

“Of course. Killing you would be as easy as flipping my hand!” Lin Xuan said indifferently.

“Alright, then I shall see how you plan to kill me!” Lin Yi laughed.

Then, Lin Yi’s gaze swept over everyone around him.

“I don’t care for the position of the head of the Lin Family or the leadership of the Lin Family; I just want you dead!” Lin Yi declared.

As soon as Lin Yi’s words fell, mocking laughter broke out from the crowd.

“Lin Yi, have you lost your mind? The position of the head of the Lin Family is an honor in our family; how can you casually give it away to someone else?”

“Lin Yi, aren’t you being a bit too shameless?”

“What you’re saying is not just an insult to us, but also to the Lin Family. Do you know what kind of consequences your words will bring?”
