"Alisa Lin, you actually dared to hurt your cousin? Our sibling rivalry was just a sparring session, and here I was holding back the entire time!" Abbott Lin's words carried a sense of righteousness and deep sibling affection. Naturally, bystanders felt that Alisa Lin, being the unruly young lady, had gone too far. Abbott Lin, with his handsome face now marred, seemed even more sympathetic. "It's useless to talk further! I'm just asking you, Master Andrew wants to meet Master Theo, are you going to have it arranged?" Alisa Lin had no intention of reasoning with Abbott Lin, seeing it as meaningless. As for any misunderstandings from others, what did that have to do with her? "What Master Andrew? Where did this so-called ‘master’ come from?" Abbott Lin retorted with a cold laugh. "You're young and naive. Don't be fooled. If there was a true master of Stiffening stage in Jin Cheng City, wouldn't we know? Do we need you to inform us?" "Does that mean you refuse to arrange the meeting?" Alisa Lin posed as if ready to strike again. "Alisa Lin, you're being too presumptuous!" At this moment, a middle-aged noblewoman hurried over, scolding Alisa Lin, "How dare you hurt your cousin? You're just a wild girl with no manners! Our Lin family's future depends on him, and yet you dare to harm him. Have you learned nothing but disobedience and violence during your time outside? You dare hurt even your own family members…" "Auntie, since when do you have the right to intervene in the Lin family's affairs? How am I not aware!" Alisa Lin retorted coldly, then turned her gaze to Abbott Lin, "Are you going to stop me?" Seeing Alisa Lin's ferocity, Abbott Lin really didn't want to fight her. He was in a difficult position, concerned about his prestige within the Lin family. He couldn't just back down like that. However, just as he was feeling troubled, a familiar and authoritative voice commanded, "Alisa Lin, how dare you disrespect your aunt and seriously injure your cousin! Are you completely disregarding familial bonds?" Just like father and son, they always put a label on someone before reprimanding them. "What? Is this your idea, Uncle Ethan?" Alisa Lin saw her Uncle, Ethan Lin appear. Although she knew he was there to support Abbott Lin, she wasn't afraid. Ever since practicing the Nameless saber technique taught to her by Master Andrew, her temperament had become even more decisive. "Do you even intend to fight your uncle?" Ethan Lin scoffed. "Though I don't know what you and your cousin were discussing, since he's assisting me with family matters, he has the right to make decisions on my behalf! If you continue to be unruly, I will have to discipline you myself!" Ethan Lin was a martial artist who had reached the final stage of internal extremities, personally guided by a master of Stiffening stage. In the martial world of Jiang district, he was a top figure. If he represented the Lin family at important events, even Nolan Chu would have to show him some respect. If Ethan Lin intended to discipline Alisa Lin, he had both the strength and seniority to do so. But Alisa Lin, inheritor of the Nameless saber technique, firmly declared, "Anyone who blocks my path, regardless if it's the gods or buddhas, I will cut them down!" Being fearless, Alisa Lin exuded a fierce saber aura all over her body. Ethan Lin's expression became solemn. Although he was confident in defeating Alisa Lin, this niece had suddenly become so powerful. Wouldn't she threaten his son's position in the future? He had thought Abbott Lin was a shoo-in as the third-generation successor, but now it seemed that might not be the case. He had no choice but to suppress her arrogance today! To let her know her place! "Such great speech, Alisa Lin, willing to cut down anyone who stands in your way. You harm your cousin, insult your aunt, and now dare to disrespect your uncle. I must discipline you for your late father—" "Theo ― Lu!" Just as Ethan Lin was about to make his move, Andrew Qi activated his Whaling Four Seas technique, his voice thunderous. The spiritual energy around the entire Lin residence was absorbed by him in one breath. Despite standing still, his body was surrounded by a fierce wind, accompanied by the sound of thunder, and the stone tiles under his feet cracked. Simultaneously, his powerful Divine Consciousness swept over the entire Lin residence. If Master Theo was nearby, it would be impossible for him not to sense it. "Stiffening... Master!" Ethan Lin was intimidated by Master Andrew's formidable aura and involuntarily stepped back. The only one who could make him, a martial artist at the final stage of internal extremities retreat, was a master of the Stiffening stage. As for Abbott Lin, he was pushed back repeatedly by the residual force. His strength would not allow him to beat a Stiffening stage master. Offending a master of the Stiffening stage was extremely unwise. "Allie, you've brought a master to see me, why create such a commotion? I'm waiting in the bamboo forest halfway up the hill!" At this moment, an old yet powerful voice echoed above the Lin residence, sounding both near and far, buzzing in everyone's ears. With Master Theo Lu's statement, the expressions of Ethan and Abbott Lin changed dramatically. This essentially confirmed Ethan Lin's suspicion, the person Alisa Lin brought was a genuine master of the Stiffening stage. Abbott Lin's previous refusal to arrange a meeting with Alisa Lin might have offended this master, who was also surprisingly young! If the Lin family's patriarch learned of this, he would undoubtedly be furious! The Lin family urgently needed a new master to take charge, as Master Theo was gradually weakening. Even though the Lin family desperately tried to keep this secret, many outsiders were already aware of it, and Ethan Lin was no exception. Without a master in charge, the Lin family's position in the world of martial arts would plummet. If Master Theo passed away, the Lin family's status would go downhill, vulnerable to other forces. Although the Lin family's patriarch still had significant influence in military and political circles, which could preserve the Lin family's prestige, all of the family's martial arts-related businesses would fall prey to their enemies. At this time, Alisa Lin had brought a young master of the Stiffening stage back. What did this signify? It’s self-evident! It was an unspoken bid for the position of the Lin family's heir! Although Alisa Lin was a woman, she was still the patriarch's granddaughter. Moreover, if she could persuade a master of the Stiffening stage to support the Lin family, her contribution would be immense, enough to overshadow all of Abbott Lin's achievements for the family. Ethan and Abbott Lin, being both shrewd individuals, understood this very well. Abbott Lin felt a deep resentment, "Very well, Alisa Lin. I thought you had no interest in becoming the family's heir, but you've hidden your intentions so deeply! Since you want to compete with me, don't blame me for disregarding our sibling bond anymore!"
