After dinner, the family gathered in the meeting room to have fun.

The three uncles didn't leave, they were very interested in the current situation of the Moutes' family. After all, they were from a very big family, and when the Rhine patriarch, who was a bit younger than them, proposed marriage, he left a deep impression on them.

They did not leave, and their three sons stayed behind to accompany them.

"Clan leader Rhine is quite bold, even if a clan that had once left the city lord's territory fell, it couldn't be destroyed so easily," said his uncle, Kent, after listening to Link's simple description, "Although the Moutes' family is newly established, it's still unstoppable!"

"Yes," continued Second Uncle Leonard. "That way, even if Selina is busy for a while, she can easily come home and have a look. Uncle really misses her."

Lin Ke respectfully bowed and replied, "Second uncle said that mother will go back to Liu City to visit grandfather once she finishes her family business. He feels very sorry for that too."

"Since Selina has married into the Rhine family, she should be the daughter-in-law of Rhine to help her family out of this predicament," Old Man Wood waved his hand with a smile. "Rhine has that kind of intention, I am very grateful."

While everyone was chatting, a young man barged into the room, looking at the rare elders gathered together. He seemed to want to say something, but hesitated.

"What is it, Tony?" The second oldest in the third generation of the Qingfeng clan, Linke, was going to call him second brother.

"There's something important, Father," said young Tony, glancing at Link and Elend.

Elder Wood slightly frowned. Linke's second uncle, Leonard, said angrily, "That's your uncle and his elder. Speak, what's the matter?!"

The young man lowered his head in acknowledgement, then stammered, "Little Wu escaped from the mine when being hunted down. His injuries weren't severe, but there's something fishy about this matter."

After a moment of thought, Old Man Wood asked, "Where is he?"

"It's right outside the door," the young man replied respectfully.

"Let him in," Wood said calmly.

"Greetings to great-uncle, grandfathers, and seniors." A pale-faced young man walked in and respectfully greeted everyone present. He then looked at Lin Ke in shock and said, "It's you?!"

Wood frowned slightly. "Like what!? This is your uncle Cohen. "

The young man was stunned for a moment. Although he did not know when he had such a young cousin, he still bowed respectfully towards Lin Ke and said, "Hello cousin, thank you for saving my life. Uncle Zeng, a few days ago when Little Wu went to the family mine to inspect, he coincidentally encountered a group of men in black who were wandering around the mine, talking about some sort of attack. Luckily, I was quite far away from them, and also ran all the way to the nearby Shiliu River, where the Emperor was swimming in the river.

Everyone was silent and had their own thoughts.

Lin Ke's second brother, Maurice, suddenly stood up and saluted Lin Ke. "Cousin Cohen, thank you very much!"

Lin Ke hurriedly turned to the side and said, "Second Brother, there's no need to be like this. It's a small matter to begin with, not to mention that we're a family."

Elder Wood didn't pay any attention to Maurice and Lin Ke, and instead asked the young man, "You said that the man in black talked about the attack near the family mine?"

The young man nodded, "Yes, Uncle Zeng. At first, I didn't pay attention to it, so I only heard the words' attack 'and' night time '. In a moment of panic, I was discovered."

Wood turned to Link. "The fleet repelled an enemy attack?"

Lin Ke frowned and shook his head, "It's not repelling, it's killing. Not a single survivor."

Everyone was silent.

After a long while, Third Uncle Mendel said, "Perhaps it was just an accident, plotting in our family's mining area that some unscrupulous person was exposed to Little Six's accident, thus causing such a thing to happen. The Qing Feng family has not fallen for a thousand years, not just anyone would dare to have ideas against our family."

"You can't put it like that," Eldest Uncle Kent frowned, "The Fei Li Family of the Wind City is also a well-known family that has existed for hundreds of years, so what about it? I'm afraid some of the other families are not happy with us and want to touch our money bags to make us sick! "

Second Uncle Leonard glanced at Kent and said, "We are certain that someone will move, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to put the two families together. Our Qing Feng family has been around for thousands of years, so the mayor has not only sent one.

The eldest uncle, Kent, frowned even harder, "The Qing Feng clan is obviously not a small clan like the Fei Li clan. Second brother, you know what I mean, but this is probably just the beginning."

Second Uncle chuckled. "That might not be the case. I'm afraid Big Brother is like a viper in a cup of wine."

"You!" Eldest Uncle Kent shouted!

"Enough!"

Old Man Wood's gentle voice exploded in everyone's ears.

"The Qing Feng Clan's legacy is a thousand years old?" That's the only reason you're so proud, right? " "Ma Lun, pass down the order for the eighth guard knight squadron to rush to the mines to assist in defense, the highest level has been raised, if there's any situation, report it to me at any time. Disperse."

Everyone respectfully saluted and left, leaving only the mother and daughter Lin Ke and Renqin in the hall.

"Cohen, you just arrived and you saw this scene. It's all thanks to you that I was able to deal with Little Wu. He's one of the few quick-witted children in the fourth generation of the Qingfeng clan. It's such a pity that he was killed in the clan battle."

After shaking his head, Rinkey looked as if he wanted to say something, but stopped himself. "Say what you want. In front of your grandfather, is there anything else you can't say?"

Lin Ke laughed, "Grandfather, although I don't know much about the situation of the Qing Feng family in Liu City, I can roughly guess the situation of the Moutes family. This matter is definitely not as simple as it seems to be, the first group to attack the ship has a Giant Strength realm warrior, Liu City is located in the northern side of the empire, would there be a bandit group with a Giant Strength realm expert? How dare he commit a crime so close to the Liu City? At most, he would just give up on an operation and never take the risk of going on a rampage to assassinate them. In the end, there really was such a coincidence. Did a bandit group or group of masked men in black come to the edge of the mine to commit a crime? "Also selected at …" Lin Ke looked at the expressions on the faces of the two before gritting his teeth. "At a time when the internal problems of the Qingfeng clan are so prominent!"

Donna looked at Old Man Wood with a slightly perturbed expression, while Renqin had a serious expression.

Old Man Wood stared quietly at Lin Ke for a while before suddenly laughing out loud. "Good! This little ghost girl, Selina, has some good fortune, which makes an old guy like me feel a lot more at ease. Haha, "the old man stood up and patted Lin Ke's shoulder," Cohen, tell grandpa, what do you think is the most important thing in a family's inheritance and continuation? "

Lin Ke pondered for a moment before replying, "Family culture and a perfect education system."

Wood nodded and then shook his head, "It is indeed a very important aspect for ordinary aristocratic families, but the most important aspect of speaking frankly is the number of people. To be more accurate, it is the small number of people who can be considered experts, which is the rule of the wargod empire for tens of thousands of years. If you are a high enough expert and you have lived long enough, then this family will have enough time to enjoy your status and rights."

Wood began to pace the hall. "I don't want your Aunt Rongqin to take over the Qing Feng family's business, and she doesn't have such a personality," he smiled and continued, "But these three brothers have fought openly and secretly for so many years, yet no one else has been able to convince the hearts of anyone else. As you said, this is the biggest conflict within the family.

"Why don't you tell them that? I see that all three uncles are very respectful to you, "Linke said doubtfully. At this point, he had nothing else to say.

"Hehe, respect is something that can't be seen by a person. Didn't I say that? Perhaps the halo of a thousand years of the Cool Breeze family's inheritance was too dazzling, causing his descendants to lose the respect they should have for this world, "Wood glanced at Lin Ke and smiled," If they don't really face some difficulties and suffer some unbearable losses, then some people won't be able to open their eyes and won't be willing to. "

Lin Ke was shocked, his grandfather actually had such an idea!

"Grandfather, is this … Isn't that a bit too risky? " Lin Ke hesitated.

"This mine is the biggest source of income for the Qing Feng family. If we lose it, it will definitely put our family in an unpredictable situation. But do you think that we will be able to guard it like a fortress?" Haha, there are too many people eyeing this piece of fat meat! If they covered it up too tightly, it would only make others covet it even more! "The only reason I want to keep the mine is because of the power of the family itself. If I can't become strong enough to intimidate the strong, the mine will belong to someone else sooner or later."

"That's right, Cohen. The Qingfeng family has experienced so many years and has experienced so many trials and tribulations. Not to mention the fact that thirty years ago, if not for your grandfather's powerful return, your family would have been on the downhill path. How could they have had the ability to acquire such a vein? " "A few months ago, my aunt brought the dilapidated fleet back to the clan. I thought that the betrayal of the powerful warriors of the Huge Force belonging to the clan was enough to wake up your three uncles who were immersed in the game of rights. But who knew that they all thought of something else at the same time."

Seeing the doubt in Linke's eyes, Donna pouted and shouted, "They all feel that Mom has been working too hard by herself, and wants to find a stepdad for me!"

Lin Ke was silent.
