Zheng Zhong had an embarrassed expression when he heard the Sixth Master begin scolding. He said, ”Sixth Master, they …”
”Shut up,” the Sixth Master fiercely glared at him, then walked towards Lin Zichen and the others, ”May I ask who this Mr. Lin is?”
In fact, Sixth Master had never seen Master Lin before, but after the battle of Shangguan Zhuo, Yan Mingjiang, and the Cloud Peak's Dao Debate, Master Lin's reputation had already spread throughout China's martial dao world. Sixth Master Qin Botao, who cultivated martial arts in his later years, could also be considered a person of martial arts, so naturally he had heard of him.
However, if the Lord Lin came as an impostor, he would at most teach him a lesson. However, if he really did come, then he would absolutely not offend him. Therefore, he directly chose to welcome him in person.
Lin Zi Chen took a step forward and cupped his fist with a smile: ”Junior greets Sixth Elder.”
The Sixth Master stepped forward and held Lin Zichen's hand, saying: ”Mister Lin, this old man is lacking in manners. If Pan Yi hadn't told me that a Mister Lin had arrived from the Sky Region, I wouldn't have known that you had come to visit.”
As he spoke, he didn't forget to size up Lin Zi Chen, thinking to himself, So this is Master Lin? I only know that Master Lin is a young genius, but is he really that old? He doesn't seem to be more than twenty years old. Looks like I have to test him.
After that, the Sixth Master led Lin Zi Chen and his entourage into the living room of the inner courtyard. The living room was filled with flowers and plants, and also had a strong ancient air to it.
After instructing his subordinates to brew the tea, Sixth Elder said: ”Master Lin, I want a cup of clear tea here. Please do not take offense, I will arrange a banquet for you in the afternoon to welcome you.”
Lin Zi Chen shook his head and smiled, ”Sixth Elder is too polite. Zi Chen already knew that Sixth Master is a man of great virtue and prestige in the Crossing Gate. Being able to sit together with Sixth Master is already very satisfying.”
”Hehe, grandpa Lin is indeed not simple, speaking with confidence at such a young age, you are indeed worthy of being called a young hero.” The Sixth Master took a sip of tea and said, ”But, this grandpa Lin didn't come just to visit this old man, right?”
Lin Zichen nodded, ”That's right, Sixth Master is straightforward. Zi Chen came here today for this friend of his, Sang Tianlei. I hope you and Sixth Master can apologize and resolve the conflict between the Qin and Sang families.”
”Oh?” Sixth Master had actually discovered Sang Tianlei long ago, but he had not mentioned it on purpose. Firstly, he wanted to give Master Lin face, and secondly, he wanted to hear the reason for his visit, ”Humph, Master Lin, I, Qin, have absolute respect for you, but the Sang family … Please forgive this old man for not giving this face! ”
Lin Zi Chen looked at Sang Tian Lei and gave him a look. Sang Tian Lei nodded and walked over.
”Sixth Master, Tianlei knows that I was wrong. Back then, there were so many people who said that. I didn't give you any face at all. Today, I sincerely apologize.”
Sixth Master glanced at him and shook his head. ”I can't accept this kind of apology. Master Lin, how did you and the Sang family get to know each other?”
”Sixth Master, it's like this. Sang Tianlei is my classmate and friend. I hope Sixth Master will give me some face and not make things difficult for the Sang family. I'm very grateful.”
The Sixth Master looked at Lin Zi Chen and said: ”Master Lin, ever since you entered this place, this old man has been welcoming you as an esteemed guest, and I haven't even investigated you, have I?”
Hearing this, Lin Zi Chen smiled. Looks like this old fellow is really shrewd. On the surface, he is always cordial and polite, but in his heart, he maintains his doubts. However, taking into account my strength, he has yet to bring it up.
”So that's how it is. I wonder why Sixth Master is willing to believe in my identity?” Lin Zi Chen said.
”Rumor has it that Lord Lin's strength is extraordinary. Not only did he kill Shangguan Zhou, he even defeated two of the hall masters of Sky Dragon Society in Cloud Mountain. With this kind of strength, you shouldn't be afraid of my underlings, right?” The Sixth Master said with a stern expression.
Lin Zichen smiled, ”Sixth Master is of noble character and prestige, I dare not make a move in this house, would you like to take my underlings' place?”
After Lin Zi Chen said this, Elder Tan stood up and said: ”Master Lin, let me do it.”
The Sixth Master looked at Elder Tan: ”Oh? ”This brother is...”
”I am Tan Feng from the Beast Hall of the Heavenly Dragon Association. I am now Lord Lin's man!” Elder Tan clasped his fists.
After he finished speaking, many people in the hall were stunned. Sky Dragon Society?
It had to be said, as the number one assassin's guild in China, Tian Long still had enough power to intimidate others. Even though the news of retreating from China had already spread, it still made people's hearts tremble.
”Oh? Did the Sky Dragon Association follow Master Lin as well? Hehe, what a heroic youth! ” Sixth Master said, but he kept looking at Elder Tan, as if he was still suspicious.
”Elder Tan, this matter naturally cannot be dealt with by you,” Lin Zi Chen said with a smile. He then looked at the Sixth Master, ”Sixth Master, since Sang Tian Lei started this matter, how about we let him help?”
”Hmph, Sang family's brat? ”Hehe, Master Lin, are you making fun of this old man?”
He obviously wouldn't believe it. Just a few days ago, Sang Tianlei had pushed away the marriage, and in his fury, he had ordered his men to kick him out. If Sang Tianlei had the strength to do so, how could he have ended up in such a sorry state?
Lin Zi Chen said: ”Hehe, in Sixth Elder's house, naturally Tian Lei will not be able to do anything, this way, I can call him to stand out, Sixth Elder can call a few of his subordinates to beat him up, and it can also be considered a way to vent his anger, but if Tian Lei is unharmed, then this matter will be passed, how about it?”
Sang Tianlei nodded, ”No problem. I'll just randomly call out. My surname is Sang!”
The Sixth Master narrowed his eyes at Sang Tianlei, ”Brat, you talk too much. Have you forgotten how you were chased out of my residence that day?”
Sang Tianlei said, ”This is different from the past. Now that I'm being broadcasted by Master Lin, my strength is naturally different. Sixth Master, tell your men to come and hit me!”
”You're spouting nonsense!” Sixth Elder snorted coldly. ”Zheng Zhong, call a few people in!”
