325: The whereabouts of Lin Ye

This news did not just drive the Old Family Head mad; everyone in the Nangong Family went insane.

They could not believe the news they had received.

At this moment, in a newly built council hall, all the active Ancestors of the Nangong Family had gathered, with the exception of the Old Family Head.

Sitting on the Family Head's chair was a Middle-aged Man with a dignified countenance; his handsome brows bore a resemblance to Nangong Qing.

He was Nangong Qing's younger brother and the uncle of the three brothers, Nangong Tuo.

"That bastard Lin Yixiong! He deserves to die! If he didn't want to take care of those two children, why didn't he give them to us! To think he exiled them to the Lower Domain, and now, he has caused such a thing to happen!!!"

Nangong Tuo's face twisted; he was clearly furious.

The Nangong Family had never known that Nangong Qing actually had three children.

If they had known sooner, how could they have allowed the Chang Sheng Lin Family to act so recklessly!

You must know, the blood of the Nangong Family also flowed through the veins of Lin Ye and Lin Yu!

"Enough, Tuo'er. Since your father is in a coma, you are the acting Family Head. Tell us, what do you intend to do about this matter?"

The faces of the several Nangong Family Ancestors were also as dark as ink.

Regardless of whether Lin Ye and Lin Yu were peerless Prodigies, they still possessed their Bloodline. To be bullied like this and to have died inexplicably in the Lower Domain—the Chang Sheng Lin Family clearly did not hold them in any regard.

Hearing the Ancestor's question, killing intent filled Nangong Tuo's eyes.

"Does it even need to be said! Blood for blood!!! Cripple that little bastard Lin Ming! Then, dig out his Physique to console the spirits of my nephews! This was all caused by him, that bastard!"

Nangong Tuo was different from the others in the Nangong Family.

From the moment he first saw Lin Ming, he had not held the slightest bit of affection for him; in fact, he felt a bit of disgust.

Because that Lin Ming was completely different from his kind-hearted sister; his personality was like a carbon copy of the Lin Family Head, Lin Yixiong.

The Ancestors wore troubled expressions.

If it were a matter of attacking the Lin Family, they would not hesitate, but Lin Ming was also Nangong Qing's child.

"Lin Ming... he also possesses our Nangong Family's Bloodline."

"And so what?!"

Nangong Tuo did not care about Lin Ming's Bloodline at all. Instead, he stared directly at the Ancestors and said in a deep voice, "If he truly cared, he should have stopped this from the very beginning. I even suspect that this little bastard caused all of this."

"Blood debts can only be repaid with blood! If we let him off so easily, wouldn't we..."

"Young Lord! Young Lord!!!"

Just as Nangong Tuo was speaking about Lin Ming with a ferocious expression, accompanied by the sound of rapid footsteps, an Elder of the Nangong Family ran in.

One could tell from his expression just how shocked he was.

An Ancestor scolded him, "So flustered, what kind of decorum is this?!"

"Greetings to the Ancestors..."

"Enough, enough!"

The Ancestor waved his hand impatiently. "If you have something to say, say it quickly!"

"That... the Young Miss has rescued a man!"

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Tuo frowned slightly. The reason the Nangong Family had expectations for Lin Ye and Lin Yu, besides them being Nangong Qing's children...

There was another important reason.

That was that the Nangong Family had no successors!

Because Nangong Tuo was Cultivating a mysterious Emperor technique, it was difficult for him to have offspring unless he entered the Emperor Realm. However, if he were fortunate enough to attain the Dao and become the Great Emperor of this era...

Everyone knew how difficult it was for an Emperor's child to be born.

This created a vicious cycle. In her early years, Nangong Qing had even adopted a child. That was the daughter of one of her subordinates, a warrior who had died in the Ancient Battlefield. The girl was then adopted under her name.

But what would an Eternal Family look like without an heir?

Upon first learning the news about Lin Ye and Lin Yu, the Nangong Family was overjoyed. If they had these two children, wouldn't the Nangong Family have successors?

But they never expected such a thing to happen.

Now, the entire Nangong Family had been locked down, just to discuss how to deal with the Chang Sheng Lin Family.

At a time like this, his own daughter had gone and picked up a man. What if the other party was a spy from the Lin Family?

Thinking of this, Nangong Tuo's expression turned cold: "Send someone to slaughter him, and then throw his corpse at the entrance of the Lin Family!"

"Ah?!"

Hearing Nangong Tuo's words, the Elder opened his mouth wide, seemingly wanting to say something.

"Ah my ass!!!"

Nangong Tuo was full of rage. He was currently furious, and this Elder was acting like an idiot.

"Do what I told you to do! Do you want to die?!"

Upon hearing this, the Elder quickly knelt on the ground: "Yes, Young Lord. I will go and send people to do it now. But if we throw him at the entrance of the Lin Family, wouldn't that actually be playing into their hands?"

"Hmm? What do you mean? Why do you say that?"

Hearing the question, the Elder spoke again: "Wasn't the Chang Sheng Lin Family already looking for Lin Ye's corpse? If I send people to slaughter him and then throw him at the Lin Family's entrance, wouldn't that..."

"Damn it! Who did you say?!"

Nangong Tuo's tiger eyes widened. In the next moment, he appeared directly in front of the Elder and lifted him up.

Not to mention him, the other Ancestors also instantly appeared beside the Elder, their gazes looking as if they wanted to devour him.

"Speak! Are you mute?! Who did you say it was?!"

"It is... it is... it is Lin Ye! The person the Young Miss brought back is Lin Ye!"

"Boom!!!"

Upon hearing the Elder finish speaking, Nangong Tuo slammed him onto the ground, embedding him directly into the stone tiles, sending up a cloud of dust.

Immediately, Nangong Tuo looked at the Ancestors.

"Ancestors, I didn't mishear, did I? He said my Yiyi picked up Lin Ye?"

"You didn't mishear!!! We all heard it too!!!"

The several Ancestors of the Nangong Family were flushed with excitement; they truly had not expected that Lin Ye would be picked up by their own family members.

No! It cannot be confirmed yet that the other party is Lin Ye; they must see for themselves!

Thinking of this, before Nangong Tuo had to say anything, everyone rushed toward a separate courtyard.

...

Inside a separate courtyard of the Nangong Family.

The environment here was beautiful. The courtyard was planted with all kinds of exotic flowers and rare grasses, and occasionally, small, snow-white beasts could be seen playing among them.

Inside the room, a young woman was looking at the man on the bed with a curious expression.

The man was wearing tattered, blood-stained clothes, covered in blood and grime, and bandaged all over his body; he was clearly severely injured, and even his handsome face had numerous wounds.

Even in his comatose state, his brows remained tightly furrowed, as if he were burdened by something heavy.

The young woman tending to him had eyes that seemed to hold both joy and sorrow; they were bright and spirited, appearing as if they were smiling and weeping at the same time, as if they could speak, revealing a wealth of emotions.

Her face was delicate and bore a sickly pallor, yet she was captivating, as fragile and beautiful as Xizi.
