It wasn't until Lin Yue entered that she saw the situation in the room clearly. Wen Shao was seating at the side on a wheelchair with bandages on his face and hands and he look especially pitiful. The corner of Lin Yue's mouth twitched when she saw this pitiful appearance of his.
Wen Shao's small eyes flashed with panic when he saw the lunatic enter and he shrunk to the seat, he look at his mother with his eyes, telling her to get him out of the room.
Lin Xi didn't understand what he was saying at all and her eyes were full of worry as she ask gently. "Little Shao, did something happened to your eyes?."
Wen Shao's eyes twitched again and he couldn't help but glare at his mother and then look pleadingly at Lin Yue, he didn't break his promise, it was his mother that wouldn't take him away.
Lin Xi glanced back suspiciously and her eyes widened when she saw the girl that just entered.
"What are you doing here? get out of this place right now! Do you think this is the place you can come to?! Even if your parents are brainless to let you wander around like this, shouldn't you control your leg to go to the right place?!" Lin Xi scolded as if she was Lin Yue's parents, forgetting for a moment that she came for another thing and the house was not even hers.
Lin Huang was speechless and angry at the same time and he said coldly. "Get out!."
Lin Xi became even smugger as she sneered at Lin Yue. "Don't you hear what the family head just said now, he asked you to get out!."
Even Lin Yue was shocked by this woman's brainlessness.
"Mother..." Wen Shao called out softly.
Lin Xi's attention turned back to her dear son in no time. "Little Shao, is something wrong? Are you alright? Oh no, my son is feeling unwell again, whoever does this to you will suffer retribution!."
Lin Yue chuckled as she rested her back again the wall.
Lin Xi turned back and glare at her. "Wretched girl, why are you laughing?!"
Lin Yue spread her hand helplessly and decided in her heart to humiliate this lady today. "Old hag, tell me, why would I suffer retribution?."
"What do you mean?! Who are you calling an old hag?!"
Lin Huang frowned and was ready to throw her out but he stopped when he received a wink from his disciple.
"Okay, I wouldn't call you old hag anymore, don't be angry, I will just call you grandma."
Lin Xi's last shred of patience was worn out by Lin Yue's words. She was angry to the point that she activated her spiritual power and Lin Yue felt a sense of breathlessness.
The family head was instantly angered by this as his spiritual power burst out and threw Lin Xi outside.
Even though Lin Xi was an early-stage grandmaster and was pretty impressive in a normal situation, she was nothing but an ant in the face of a giant like Lin Huang, who spent his over two hundred years of lives cultivating in seclusion.
The maids that were passing by at that time were shocked and subconsciously paused their footsteps but remembering where they are, they instantly walked away in fear.
Lin Xi didn't have time to care about her appearance but instead the family's head anger.
She tried to stand up but she spat out a mouthful of blood. Her son, Wen Shao was frightened and he couldn't help but look at the always-appeared-gentle family head, he lowered his head and try not to forget his mother's teaching—a real man doesn't cry.
After laying messily on the floor for a long time, Lin Xi finally had some strength to get up and kneeled in front of Lin Huang.
"Family head! It is Lin Xi's fault, please don't be angry!" She pleaded.
Lin Huang scoffed. "All you people know is how to bully those who are powerless against you." He turned to Wen Shao, "Tell me, do you know the person that hurts you?."
His gaze was gentle and assuring and Wen Shao subconsciously nodded.
Lin Huang smiled. "Good boy, tell me, who is it?."
Wen Shao woke up and secretly look at Lin Yue before averting his gaze in fear.
This action of his didn't escape the sharp eyes of both Lin Huang and Lin Xi.
Lin Xi's eyes flashed and were about to say something Lin Huang's expression didn't change at all as he asked patiently.
"Who? Is the person in this room?"
Lin Xi look at her son and asked gently. "Little Shao, don't be afraid, tell Mother and Mother will avenge you!"
Wen Shao's gaze darted in fear between Lin Yue and his mother. He didn't want to get beaten again, but then, if he were to tell the family head and his mother, wouldn't they punish Lin Yue for him? And that's what they call 'killing two birds with a stone',. He could get his revenge and at the same time, Lin Yue will likely be removed from the list of contestants for Xuanyuan sword and so, he will have one less competitor.
However, he made a miscalculation, and that is, no matter what happened, Lin Huang would never remove a contestant from participating.
Wen Shao of course didn't know this as he pointed his finger fearfully at Lin Yue.
Lin Xi was angered again.
"You...you.. how dare you hurt my son?!" She turned to the family head and started to know tow. "Family head, please seek justice for us! As a mother, I don't want my son to be suppressed by this girl, just like how Lin Weidong suppressed my elder brother! You are a kind and righteous man, family head! Seek justice for this helpless woman!"
Lin Yue: "...."
She didn't expect the old hag to be this dramatic, however, there was something she didn't understand. What does this woman mean by her father suppressing her elder brother?
