Chapter 360 (1/2)
Translated by: Laplace
Lin Zezhi thought it out very clearly.
Originally he had his mother who wished to oppose Lin Xuanzhi no matter what. That was enough to make Lin Xuanzhi fear him. If he wasn’t careful about what he did, he was scared that his relationship with Lin Xuanzhi already wouldn’t improve any further.
Therefore Lin Zezhi frowned and bitterly and resentfully stated, “I did not expect Sister Yurou to be such a messy person, making this matter public to the entire Profound City, even the other families in Qing City have already heard about it. This has greatly influenced the reputation of the Lin family, naturally we can not handle this lightly, only through putting her in confinement and making her reflect on her mistakes can it be resolved.”
“Are you saying that she might as well go to the Ice Prison?” Lin Zezhi raised his eyebrow.
Lin Zezhi paused and answered, “The Ice Prison seems too harsh, although she did do something wrong, she does not deserve to die.”
Once a person entered the Ice Prison, if they didn’t die, they would still be injured. Even if they came out alive, their cultivation would still be completely destroyed. In this life, they would never be able to continue to cultivate again. The people imprisoned there were all extremely vicious and wicked.
Lin Xuanzhi thought for a moment, “Since you pleaded sympathy for her, I temporarily won’t ask for more. However, exemption from death is not escape from punishment, let her stay in prison first.”
With her parents, Madam Bai, and Third Elder backing her, even in the Lin family’s private prison, Lin Yurou would not suffer much.
Only, one could only imagine Lin Xuanzhi’s mood — so much of his information was divulged to Du Qiying for no reason.
Therefore he hoped that Lin Yurou could reflect properly in prison and at least know her mistakes.
Receiving a reply, Lin Zezhi now knew Lin Xuanzhi’s thoughts on this matter. “Then I will tell my mother your reply.”
Lin Xuanzhi nodded. “On Madam Bai’s side, if she has anything they do not understand, have her come to me directly.”
Lin Zezhi agreed.
Lin Xuanzhi then asked, “When you entered Breaking Sword Peak, have you had the chance to raise your cultivation level? How have your senior and junior martial brothers been treating you?”
Lin Zezhi let out a smile “The atmosphere on Breaking Sword Peak is very good, all the senior and junior martial brothers wholeheartedly focus on practicing the sword. There are no distractions, in this environment, I could be at ease after rushing too fast for a while. My cultivation level has risen quite a bit.” Lin Xuanzhi originally let Lin Zezhi enter Breaking Sword Peak, first because he wanted to know whether or not Lin Zezhi would be shaken and side with Madam Bai if Lin Zezhi was no longer under Lin Xuanzhi’s surveillance. Secondly, the cultivation atmosphere at Breaking Sword Peak was the best out of the Three Peaks.
Sinking Sword Peak was too loose and arbitrary and Broken Sword Peak had too many messy schemes in the peak and they did not have much-required practice.
Lin Xuanzhi faintly smiled, “That is good, you can fully concentrate on practice, no need to pay attention to any of the other tasks.”
Lin Zezhi nodded his head, half bowing, “Many thanks, Young Master.”
“You can go ahead.”
Lin Zezhi retired with permission.
A shadow floated down from the tree.
Lin Xuanzhi raised his head and looked up at Wan Yitong, who had been hidden in the tree for an unknown length of time but had not been discovered by anyone. He smiled, “Younger Senior Martial Brother, how is the view from the tree?”
Wan Yitong smiled, “Naturally there is no comparison to below. I did not expect that you have such great skill in managing people.”
Wan Yitong had heard that the Lin family had a fierce internal fight back then, but now it seemed that Lin Xuanzhi was already the one in first place.
Lin Xuanzhi faintly smiled, “Everyone surrenders to the strong. Since I can make the Lin family greater than before, for what reason would they not accept me?”
Wan Yitong rolled his eyes. “I heard that you gave quite a bit of monthly allowance to the disciples of your family that entered Profound Sky Sect.”
“Senior Martial Brother is indeed really well informed.”
Wan Yitong clicked his tongue “You indeed have a style in spending money, at the end of the month, tens of thousands of gold are sent out. The Lin family disciples in Profound Sky Sect now walk lightly with ease and are generous as hell.”
Lin Xuanzhi smiled and said nothing.
At the start, he raised the monthly allowance to an amount considered extraordinary for the family, firstly to encourage the disciples to intensify their training and improve their cultivation levels. Secondly to let people see the Lin family’s financial resources and enhance the influence of the Lin family.
A large family would inevitably have an inseparable relationship with their financial resources. The Lin family suddenly went from a third-class family to a first-class family, the speed of which was too fast, so they were not completely accepted by the other first-class families. However, showing their financial resources was a shortcut to quickly make first-class families accept the Lin family.
Wan Yitong blinked his eyes. “I heard from Master that at the start of next month you plan to go to Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest.”
Lin Xuanzhi answered, “I do intend to do that.”
Wan Yitong grinned, “I also plan to go there to experience it once, leave a seat for your Senior Martial Brother. You won’t refuse me, will you?”
Lin Xuanzhi laughed, “If Senior Martial Brother is willing, I would naturally welcome you.”
Wan Yitong patted Lin Xuanzhi’s shoulder, “I have reserved a place first, if that Bei Shitian guy also wants to come with you, you must not take him.”
Lin Xuanzhi, “…”
Lin Xuanzhi’s expression was somewhat unpredictable.
Wan Yitong suddenly had a bad feeling. “What is the matter?”
Lin Xuanzhi replied, “Senior Martial Brother Bei approached me a few days before and said that Master let him accompany us to get experience from the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest.”
