Lin Shiming did not ask, but at this time, he guessed that it had to do with the previous transaction between Lin Xianzhi and Zi Xuan Hermit.
Lin Xianzhi paced within the room before he finally let out a sigh and said,
"Shiming, you must have guessed by now, Zi Xuan Hermit has been our Lin Family's backer. Initially, it was out of regard for our honorable ancestor Zhengxing, but later it became a transaction!"
"Speaking of that, when ancestor Zhengxing broke away from the sect to establish our family, many of the Purple Mansion elders in Qingxuan Sect, including Zi Xuan Hermit, did not agree with the move. Later, when our family faced discrimination in Yunzhou, ancestor Zhengxing was even trapped and killed by the patriarch of the Li Family in the Qingyun Mountains. At that time, the Li Family had Li Chuanhuan, a Purple Mansion cultivator, but our Lin Family had none!"
