"Oh? Not the Lin family head anymore?"
Hearing this, Old Master Long narrowed his eyes.
Indeed, it was precisely because of this that Xiao Jianguo had caused such a huge misunderstanding!
"That's right, Old Master. We're about to have a abdication ceremony."
"After I completely abdicate, I will leave the Lin family. How about we discuss other matters then?"
Lin Xianfeng also reacted and spoke to Old Master Long.
Frankly, as Lin Yuelong had just said, he was no longer the Lin family head. After this ceremony, he and Lin Chen would be expelled from the Lin family.
It was indeed inappropriate to host guests here right now!
"Fine, you old dog Xiao, it seems we've come at the wrong time today!"
Old Master Long then turned to Xiao Jianguo beside him.
For them, all they cared about was Lin Chen.
As for the so-called Lin family, they didn't care about it at all.
In the entire Dragon Country, there were no shortage of noble families eager to curry favor with them, and some were even more powerful than the Lin family.
Since Lin Chen and his father were leaving the Lin family now, they naturally wouldn't pay much attention to the Lin family.
"Hmph, you old dog Long, do I need to tell you that?"
Hearing Old Master Long's words, Xiao Jianguo was almost furious.
Today, such a huge blunder had occurred, not only failing to secure the engagement with Lin Chen but also losing so much face.
Although the two were old friends who had reached the point of risking their lives for each other, he still had no pleasant expression.
"Mr. Lin, how about this, we'll wait here. After your ceremony, we can go to the Long family together."
"Coincidentally, I've just recovered from a serious illness and am planning to host a banquet for my guests. Why don't we invite Mr. Lin and your family to stay at the Long family first?"
Old Master Long then looked at Lin Xianfeng and made the suggestion.
Judging by Lin Xianfeng's current attitude, he seemed to have given up on the Lin family completely and had no intention of staying. Of course, he was also actively inviting them.
If even Lin Chen's father were to stay at the Long family, then the relationship between the Long family and Lin Chen would be even more unbreakable!
"Alright."
After hearing Old Master Long's suggestion, Lin Xianfeng pondered for a moment and agreed.
He was indeed very curious about what had happened to Lin Chen and his mother in Hangzhou over the years.
How could the young lady of the noble Long family be willing to throw herself at him?
"Kaishan, it's getting late. Can my abdication ceremony begin now?"
After discussing with Old Master Long, Lin Xianfeng turned back to Lin Kaishan and asked proactively.
As for Lin Xianfeng now, he had indeed become disheartened with the Lin family and didn't want to stay here for another moment.
If it weren't for the safety of Lin Chen and his mother just now, he wouldn't even have wanted to participate in this so-called abdication ceremony.
Since Old Master Long and the others were already here, it was time for a perfect curtain call!
From now on, he would have absolutely no connection with the Lin family!
Lin Xianfeng knew very well that his son was no ordinary person.
To be treated with such respect by both Old Master Xiao and Old Master Long, his future potential was absolutely very high!
Otherwise, why would these two world-renowned old men personally bring their most beloved granddaughter?
If he were to continue to be involved with Lin Kaishan and the others now, they would definitely become a burden to Lin Chen in the future.
Over the years, he had made significant contributions to the Lin family, transforming it from an unknown family to its current status.
Since Lin Kaishan had now become a genuine third-grade alchemist, the Lin family would no longer have to worry about development!
It was indeed time for him to resolve his inner turmoil!
For so many years, he had no regrets towards the Lin family, but he felt guilty towards Lin Chen and his mother. Now that his son had finally come to his side, he absolutely could not let them down again!
"This... Xianfeng, how can there be an abdication ceremony?"
"The position of Lin family head should still be yours!"
However, after hearing Lin Xianfeng's words, before Lin Kaishan could say anything, Lin Tiande, who was beside him, suddenly stood up.
They had seen everything that had just happened.
If Lin Xianfeng were to truly leave the Lin family in full view of everyone today, then the entire Lin family would truly become famous!
Although Lin Xianfeng was not a vengeful person, Lin Yuelong was not someone to be trifled with.
It was now obvious to all that the seemingly insignificant Lin Chen had grown into someone they all had to look up to.
If they were to offend Lin Chen at this time, the consequences for them would surely be dire!
"Second Uncle, there's no need to say more. I have decided to leave the Lin family. Let's proceed according to the normal procedures!"
"If you still consider us all to be members of the Lin family, then please don't try to stop me anymore!"
Hearing Lin Tiande's words, Lin Xianfeng refused without a second thought.
If it had been before, and Lin Tiande and the others were willing to let the second branch give up the position of family head, Lin Xianfeng might not have said much.
But now that his son was successful, anyone could see that Lin Chen's future development would far surpass that of the Lin family.
In that case, why should he continue to be subjected to their bullying here?
For so many years, he had been threatened repeatedly.
Back when Wang Fang was pregnant with Lin Chen, he had lived in constant anxiety.
After so many years, he could finally be completely free!
For Lin Xianfeng now, this was definitely a good thing!
And how could he give up this hard-won happiness for the mere position of Lin family head?
Moreover, the most important thing was that given the personalities of Lin Tiande and Lin Kaishan, their current fear was nothing more than Old Master Long and Old Master Xiao.
Without them, he and Lin Chen would definitely not be able to hold their heads up in front of the second branch.
Since that was the case, it was perfect to cut ties completely today!
"Kaishan! Quickly apologize to your elder brother!"
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Lin Xianfeng, Lin Tiande could only turn his gaze to Lin Kaishan beside him.
Everything that had happened now was caused by Lin Kaishan, so he definitely had to let Lin Kaishan clean up the mess!
