307 Chapter 307
Lin Jian turned around with a slightly bitter smile as he shook his head and said, "The young will always surpass the old."
Lin Fan turned around as well with a faint smile as he said, "Elder, you let me win."
Lin Jian didn\'t say a thing. He knew that if he were to respond, it would hurt his pride even more.
Lin Fan turned back to Lin Lei and looked at him in disdain. After a few seconds of not saying anything, he finally said, "I\'ll spare you today out of respect for the first elder. You better scram right this instant."
Lin Lei acted like he had just been pardoned and immediately ran off as fast as he could towards the Lin Manor. Of course he wouldn\'t forget the humiliation he had suffered today, but right now there was nothing more important than his life.
Who knew what else this madman would do?
It didn\'t matter if he lost his pride today, he would get it back another day as long as he was alive.
After all, this madman wouldn\'t be able to protect Lin Ao and his family all the time…
Lin Fan didn\'t bother with a minor character like Lin Lei, he turned to the Jiang Manor and took a deep breath before raising his voice, "The Lin Manor will be smashed today, come out now and you\'ll be spared. If you stay inside, I\'ll take that as a sign that you\'ll fight to the end!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, they never expected Lin Fan to be this domineering.
It was fine to take care of a few elders, but there was still their ancestor in the manor. It wasn\'t just their ancestor as well, the ancestor was also Lin Fan\'s great grandfather.
Yet here he was declaring that he would smash the Lin Manor right in his front yard.
Wouldn\'t this be considered a slap to the ancestor\'s face?
But even after Lin Fan had said all of this, not a single person came out of the manor.
After seeing Lin Fan take care of both the first and second elder, which one of them dared to come out?
While all of the elders were in the peak Platinum Realm, there was a clear difference between them and the first and second elders. If they were to go out now, wasn\'t that asking Lin Fan to beat them up?
Some of the people in the manor did urge the family head, who was Lin Ao\'s father and Lin Fan\'s grandfather to go out and talk to Lin Fan, but he didn\'t have the face to do so.
When Lin Ao was exiled from the Lin Family, Lin Jiao had stood on the sidelines, not saying a word as he watched his son being exiled from the family. He had done it all for his own position in the family.
Did he regret it?
At that time, he hadn\'t, but now he couldn\'t help feeling that he had done something wrong…
There were also a few people who had sent their own subordinates to where the ancestor was in closed door cultivation to inform him what had happened. After all, the ancestor coming out to deal with this maniac was the only choice they had.
As they were all panicking, Lin Fan was slowly moving towards the Lin Manor, coming closer step by step.
With each step that he took, it was like someone was taking a step on their hearts. They couldn\'t stop their breaths from becoming quicker and their hearts from beating faster.
With the way their hearts were beating, it was almost as if they would jump out at any second.
In the various hiding spots of the elders, there were similar conversations that could be heard.
"Elder, that maniac is coming closer! Please go out and deal with him!"
"You want me to deal with that maniac? Are you crazy? You go deal with him!"
"But elder…"
All around the manor, all the elders completely refused to go out.
They were elders of a Legendary Realm family, they weren\'t about to risk their necks like this.
As long as the ancestor was still in the Lin Family, there was nothing for them to worry about.
Lin Fan continued forward, but the moment he was only a single step away from entering the Lin Manor, there was a sudden change in the air.
For the people in the manor, their cultivations were too weak and they were too focused on the danger that Lin Fan posed on them, so they didn\'t sense it at all.
Out of all the people present, there were only four people that had suddenly sensed the change around them.
These four were Lin Fan, Lin Jian, the ancestor, and Lin Ao.
Lin Fan immediately turned his head in the direction of the disturbance, right as a powerful aura came out of the Lin Manor.
The eyes of everyone in the Lin Manor lit up when they felt this aura since they immediately recognized it. It was their ancestor!
There was a figure that jumped out of the Lin Manor and as soon as this figure came out, all the people hiding in the Lin Manor came out to greet him.
"Greetings ancestor!"
Then after this, the third elder came forward and said, "Father, please take care of this unruly youngster who has gone against his ways. He dares to attack the family that he came from!"
Lin Fan could tell from this person\'s aura that he was in the Legendary Realm, but he could also tell that this person wasn\'t anywhere close to being near his natural limit.
The aura of the Lin Family\'s ancestor was completely different from the aura that the Jiang Family ancestor had. This aura was filled with vitality, completely unlike someone who was at the end of their lifespan.
Lin Fan could tell that this ancestor was hiding quite a bit. He definitely wasn\'t as weak as he had thought that he had been. If they were to fight for real, Lin Fan wasn\'t actually confident in dealing with him.
But as he was preparing to fight the ancestor, the Lin Family ancestor did something that no one expected.
The Lin Family ancestor said, "Enough with your squabbling, there\'s no time for this!"
Everyone looked at the Lin Family ancestor with shocked gazes, among them included Lin Fan.
What did this old man mean by that? Squabbles?
The fighting between them had only been squabbles?
The third elder quickly said, "But father, that kid said that he was going to flatten the Lin Manor. This is an insult to not just the Lin Family, but also to you."
The Lin Family ancestor turned to glare at the third elder as he said in a cold voice, "That kid? Is that an address that you\'re qualified to say?"
The third elder was taken aback when he heard, "But father…"
He didn\'t get a chance to explain at all before the Lin Family ancestor cut him off with a cold snort, "Enough, Xiao Fan is a part of our family no matter what, you should do well to remember that. Now, seal your cultivation and train in the Room of Iron for a year, that is your punishment."
The third elder was completely shocked when he heard this.
His father had not just defended an outsider, he had even punished him, his own son!
The third elder stammered, "But father…"
Once again, he didn\'t get a chance to continue as the Lin Family ancestor said with another cold snort, "Two years."
The third elder\'s words froze in his mouth before he swallowed them back. After a second of hesitation, he said, "Yes, father!"
Then the third elder headed off without a single moment of delay.
It was rare to see the Lin Family ancestor acting this way, he had almost never seen his father like this since that incident…
The Lin Family ancestor ignored the third elder and turned back to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan prepared himself, thinking that the Lin Family ancestor was about to attack him, but that wasn\'t the case.
The Lin Family ancestor looked past him to look at Lin Ao who was standing there and said, "Ao, you\'re the family head from now on. Clean up the mess here and meet us later."
Everyone was shocked once again, even more shocked than they were before.
But Lin Jiao quickly came forward and said, "Father, what about me?"
The Lin Family ancestor shook his head and said, "Jiao, Ao is your son, are you really doing this?" After saying this, he shook his head and said in a mumble that everyone could hear, "What is my Lin Family coming to?"
After a brief moment of disappointment, the Lin Family ancestor steeled his face and said with a serious look, "All of you will listen to Ao\'s arrangements. Anyone that disobeys will be severely punished, do you understand?"
No one dared to speak back to him this time, everyone just nodded and said, "Yes, ancestor!"
There was only Lin Jian who asked, "Father, is it…"
The Lin Family ancestor gave a slight nod and said, "It is."
Then without waiting for Lin Jian\'s answer he walked past Lin Fan and waved his hand at him, "Xiao Fan, you come with me. We\'re going to deal with this situation."
Lin Fan was completely confused by how everything had developed. He had no idea what he was supposed to do.
Lin Fan turned back to look at Lin Ao who gave him a nod and then making up his mind, he followed the Lin Family ancestor out of the Lin Manor.
