Lin Sanju's statement caused everyone to turn silent in shock. Like a stone dropping in a still lake, they gasped and clamored like ripples.
"Are you serious?! You want me to vow to Bei Sangyun and be her slave? No f*cking way!" Lin Sunji cursed angrily.
Li Mei took a deep breath and tried to sound calm, "Sanju, I can still understand if you ask us to vow to the third branch. Lin Ginxian at least has the entire third branch with him. But Bei Sangyun—" Li Mei discreetly glanced at Bei Sangyun, with a hint of ridicule and condemnation in her gaze, "--she has nothing aside from herself. This is just absurd. How do you expect us to follow her? She's just a teenager with a big ego."
Even Lin Ruo could not help but voice his disagreement, "Son, I don't know how she managed to convince you, but she can't do anything to help us. We appreciate you for trying to help, but this is a matter that even we—your parents—have difficulty overcoming."
