Proofread by Claire.KK
Lin Zhong showed a bit of pride on his face, “Young master, no one in Lin family is more qualified to occupy Heart-cleansing Peak than you!”
Lin Xun understood soon that this was a special care from the imperial family.
Hundreds of years ago, Lin Daochen, a powerful Life-death Realm ancestor of Lin Family, fought for the Empire. Although he died, he helped the Empire resolve a terrible disaster successfully.
Therefore, emperor gave the belongings of Heart-cleansing Peak to the lineal descendants of Lin Daochen!
Lin Feiting, Lin Xun’s grandfather, was Lin Daochen’s eldest son. And Lin Xun’s father, Lin Wenjing, was Lin Daochen’s eldest grandson.
In terms of seniority, Lin Xun was Lin Daochen’s lineal grandson!
In the bloody event more than ten years ago, almost all the lineal descendants of Lin Daochen were killed. According to the emperor’s will, Lin Xun became the only one who was qualified to own Heart-cleansing Peak.
As for other clansmen, they had to move out of Heart-cleansing Peak even if they didn’t want to after the bloody incident.
Since almost all the lineal descendants of Lin Daochen’s family had died, even Lin Xun, who was still in his infancy, was considered unlikely to survive from the murder, and Heart-cleansing Peak should be taken over by the emperor.
However, the imperial family didn’t make this decision. Heart-cleansing Peak still belonged to Lin Family.
“Did they know that I was not dead?”
Lin Xun was surprised.
Lin Zhong had guarded here for many years, he was extremely puzzled about this too. As Lin Xun asked it, he murmured, “It might be possible. In these years, I often worry Heart-cleansing Peak would be taken away one day, but it didn’t happen before you come back. So it seems that the imperial family thought that you were bound to return. ”
Lin Xun suddenly thought of the big shot in the palace. Would it be him?
Soon Lin Xun shook his head.
At present, this issue was not important. As long as Heart-cleansing Peak still belonged to the Lin Family, things would be alright.
“Granddad Zhong, I want to ask you something.”
Lin Xun looked solemn.
Lin Zhong immediately straightened his back and said, “Go ahead, young master. I must say it without hiding.”
Lin Xun leaned forward slightly and stared at Lin Zhong with his deep black eyes,”If I want to recover Lin’s clan, where do you think I should start?”
Lin Zhong was shocked on hearing that. He looked excited, but soon calmed down and said bitterly, “Young master, there are only you and me on Heart-cleansing Peak. It is almost impossible to do this…”
He knew better than Lin Xun about the current situation of the Lin clan. Even though Lin Xun was the only descendant who was qualified to inherit Heart-cleansing Peak, he was too young and single-handed to shoulder the task of recovering Lin family!
What was more, the other four branches of Lin Family would not be reconciled easily!
On the contrary, Lin Zhong was sure that when those collateral clansmen learned that Lin Xun was going to take charge of Heart-cleansing Peak and sit on the throne of patriarch, they would stop him resolutely!
He knew the characteristics of these people. After the bloody incident, they fought for power with the enemies and made Lin Family completely fall into internal troubles. The originally power and industry of Lin Family were completely divided later.
How could these people accept Lin Xun to be the ruler of Heart-cleansing Peak easily?
What was more, those powerful forces who divided Lin Family’s industry would not watch Lin Xun grow stronger under their eyes.
Family troubles!
Enemies’ interference!
Lin Xun was so young. He was too weak to fight alone. It was more difficult than reaching to the sky to command the whole Lin family!
Lin Xun knew at once that Lin Zhong didn’t mean to give him a blow on purpose. Lin Zhong just thought he didn’t have the ability to run Lin Family at present.
Lin Xun frowned and refuted nothing.
He knew as well that he was short of people, money and abundant capital. It was really difficult to recover Lin Family.
However, since he came back, how could he be indifferent to this embarrassing situation?
Blocking on the way was none of problem, but fighting will would be!
Although Lin family was no longer prosperous, the situation wouldn’t be worse. As long as he planned it step by step, he would eventually achieve the target of reversing the situation and making Lin Family rise again!
If he didn’t plan for this, he’d better get out of the Forbidden City at once!
Of course, he would not give up due to his tough character.
“Granddad Zhong, whether you trust me or not, please first tell me how to make it real, or I will be regret forever. I may lose, but I should give a try first!”
Lin Xun’s eyes were firm.
But Lin Zhong’s face changed. He gnashed his teeth and said finally, “These years, my life has been a living hell. I would like to die if I should guard Heart-cleansing Peak left by the patriarch. Since you want to make a try, young master, I will fight together with you at full stretch! ”
His voice was sonorous.
Lin Xun smiled at once, patted Lin Zhong on his shoulder and said: “Don’t worry, Granddad Zhong, although I’m alone, I haven’t encountered a problem that can’t be solved yet.”
“Young master, the first thing you need to do is to have a comprehensive understanding of the current situation of our Lin Family.”
“Only by solving the family problems first can we gather the clansmen to fight against the external enemies!”
This was Lin Zhong’s suggestion.
Lin Xun thought for a while and nodded. This was true.
