He knew better than anyone.
His current strength was, in part, due to inheritance.
Without the Lin family's heritage, he would already be dead.
However, precisely because he understood the true nature of this inheritance, he was more reluctant than anyone to mention it.
Perhaps the Gu family's cold jade had something similar.
It was just that the Gu family members hadn't discovered it... and normally, no one would.
He could study it thoroughly.
Finally, after Gu Nianci finished her scolding, the late-night snacks arrived, and the four of them began drinking and eating skewers.
Ming Yi felt the scene was a bit unreal.
At this table sat some of the most powerful people in Long Country, individuals whose casual words could alter the destinies of countless families.
Especially since Brother Xiao seemed to have a good relationship with the Gu family?
After eating, Gu Qingfeng glanced at his phone: "Aunt, you've taken the things. I have some matters to attend to and need to leave now."
"What matters? I warn you, Gu Qingfeng, don't you dare pull any stunts, or I'll kick you out!" Gu Nianci said fiercely.
Just as she finished speaking, a woman dressed very seductively sauntered towards them.
Upon seeing the woman, Gu Qingfeng immediately stood up and walked to greet her: "You're here!"
He then walked over, and the woman obediently linked her arm with his: "Oh, Feng Ge, are these all your friends?"
"Yes..." Gu Qingfeng said, and then began to flirt openly with the woman.
"I've never heard of him, this martial arts fanatic, having such a side," Lin Xiao looked at Gu Nianci: "As his elder, do you know?"
"..."
Gu Nianci was speechless. She watched Gu Qingfeng and the woman walk away, slowly shaking her head: "I don't know..."
"I can only say, pleasure is a part of human nature!" Lin Xiao casually quipped, then picked up the box in his hand and fiddled with it: "Alright, Old Madam Gu, according to our deal, this belongs to me for now. Don't worry, if I break anything, I'll compensate you."
"You!" Gu Nianci tensed up: "Mr. Lin, this is my Gu family's heirloom. It absolutely cannot be broken... If it's broken, you won't find anything to compensate with!"
"I have it, of course."
Lin Xiao said: "If your Gu family's heirloom breaks, I'll compensate with my Lin family's heirloom, isn't that very fitting?"
The Lin family's heirloom?!
Gu Nianci fell silent upon hearing this.
That was "Overbearing True Qi"!
The "Overbearing True Qi" that everyone coveted.
In the eyes of others, Lin Xiao was the War God of Long Country, the Dragon King of the Northern Frontier, a legendary figure, a guardian.
But in the eyes of those who knew, everyone attributed his achievements primarily to "Overbearing True Qi," that is, the Lin family's inheritance.
Without the Lin family's heritage, how could Lin Xiao have achieved what he had today?
Last year, Lin Xiao became the first on the Earth Ranking in an almost crushing manner. Among all the released powerhouses, no one was his opponent.
This year, he was even stronger.
Now, he was undoubtedly deserving of a spot on the Heaven Ranking!
Far more powerful than those augmented humans.
