Due to the sudden fire not long ago, the southern area of the South City was in chaos. At this moment, it was completely locked down.
The ordinary people affected by the fire were urgently moved, and the interior was emptied. Only a small number of people could pass through the blockade and enter.
Among them, there was a manor that occupied 300 square meters.
Dozens of Lin family disciples stood quietly in the spacious hall on the first floor, and no one spoke. The atmosphere was heavy and anxious. Their eyes would look into the depths of the manor from time to time, trying to pass through the door and see the situation inside.
Among them, Lin Suxin, who had been comprehending the law of time these days, stood among the crowd.
The Lin family announced to the ordinary people that there were not many casualties. However, the people in the mage circle knew that many core disciples of the Lin family were injured. If their relationship was closer, they would know that the one who was the most injured, was the current head of the Lin family, Lin Pingzhi!
Lin Suxin anxiously waited for the treatment of the family elder. She had already decided in her heart.
If it was really not possible, she would go to the bookstore and ask Senior Ye to help. As long as Senior Ye was willing to help, there was nothing that could not be solved.
Even though studying the law of time for one month was effective, it was useless when it came to treatment.
Just as Lin Suxin was thinking about something, a room in the depths of the manor was open. An old man with a long beard wearing a blue magic robe walked out.
He walked steadily and crossed the door with a fierce expression. He held a magic staff that could be used as a walking stick in his right hand and walked into the hall.
Dong!
The magic staff stopped and the Lin family disciples who were in a daze came back to their senses. They bowed and greeted, “Greetings, Great Elder.”
The person who came was the Great Elder of the Lin family’s elder council. Lin Yan’s prestige and strength were second only to the clan leader. Now that the clan leader was unconscious, he had to step out to take charge of the situation and maintain the clan’s reputation.
Lin Yan looked around and nodded his head lightly. He then looked at Lin Suxin and said, “Suxin, come in with me. The rest of you wait outside the door. You are not allowed to leave.”
“Yes, Elder.” Lin Suxin followed Lin Yan’s footsteps and walked into the depths of the manor.
On the way, the Great Elder was silent for a while, he said, “Suxin, I won’t hide it from you. The clan leader’s condition is quite serious. We tried many healing spells, but they didn’t work well. I’ve already sent someone to invite the elders of the Mage Alliance.”
“But I don’t know how long the clan leader will last in this round. You should be mentally prepared.”
“If you want to inherit the position of a clan leader, you can participate in the competition. Everything will be done according to the rules.”
Lin Suxin opened her mouth but didn’t say anything in the end.
The two walked along the corridor and entered a bedroom.
A white-haired middle-aged man was lying on the big bed in the bedroom. Five people were standing by the bed. Judging from the traces of magic patterns on the ground, they must have tried many spells.
“Great Elder, the message has been sent to the Mage Alliance. There is no reply for now.”
One of the white-haired old ladies said, “It would be great if the Ban family member could delay his ascension for a while. There are very few experts living in our South City.”
Another middle-aged man sighed and said, “Just now, I asked Scholar Grimm with the sound transmission magic array. He said that once he was attacked by the strange beasts with the power of the Abyss, it would pollute the life essence of people. Unless a god descended to the world, otherwise… I’m afraid no one could save him.”
“Scholar Grimm is very intelligent. He has always wanted to pursue the glory of the ancient mages and suppress his desire to not ascend to the Divine Realm. Even an expert like him couldn’t do anything about it. What’s the point of having other experts come?”
“I also asked the Zhao family’s ancestor just now, but they couldn’t do anything about it.”
“Sigh, who would have thought that an Abyss lizard would disguise itself as an ordinary lizard and come here?”
“If not for the ancestral treasure left behind by the ancestor, our Lin family would have been exterminated today.”
The elders of the Lin family sighed one after another. They could not think of any other way.
Lin Pingzhi’s talent in cultivation was much worse than his talent in management. However, it was because of this that he was able to rely on his talent in management to help the Lin family rise. If they lose him now, the Lin family would probably decline again.
It could be said that this time, Lin Pingzhi was not only related to the Lin family’s reputation but also an important factor for their future development.
“Silence.” The Great Elder moved the magic staff in his hand.
After the room quieted down, he walked to the bedside and looked at Lin Pingzhi. Then, he said, “We’ll talk about other things when the final result is confirmed. We can’t give up now and let’s wait for the reply from other experts.”
Everyone fell into silence. Although they didn’t agree with this method, they didn’t refute it.
As time went by, they didn’t receive any news from the other senior experts. Instead, they received greetings from a member of the Ban family.
Because Mr. Ban Shan had recently ascended to the Divine Realm and was in the limelight, the Great Elder didn’t dare to neglect the other party. He sent someone to bring Ban Feimeng to the room for a meeting.
When the two sides met, the Great Elder was stunned. He was very surprised.
He had thought that it was some important figure of the Ban family visiting. He had not expected that it was a little girl. If he remembered correctly, she should still be a junior.
The Great Elder immediately did not want to bother with her. However, it was not good to chase her out. He could only let Lin Suxin receive her. The two of them were both juniors, so there was no problem.
Ban Feimeng sensed the Great Elder’s attitude and curled her lips.
She had never seen Lin Suxin before, but she knew Lin Pingzhi. After looking around, she quickly guessed the general identity of the people present. She pulled Lin Suxin and asked softly, “Do you know who Lin Suxin is?”
Lin Suxin blinked her eyes and was a little confused.
It took her a while to react. She pointed at herself and said, “That’s me. Why are you looking for me? This must be the first time we’ve met, right?”
Ban Feimeng was also stunned for a moment before quickly regaining her senses, she said, “That’s right. This is the first time we’ve met. I’ve met your clan leader once. This time, I’m here at Senior Ye’s request. I’m here to visit you and also to give you something.”
“If you have any needs for this incident, you can speak up at any time. I can represent the Ban family to agree to this matter, but I can’t do anything else.”
After saying that, Ban Feimeng took out a box from her portable magic space and handed it to Lin Suxin.
Lin Suxin took the box, trembling a little. She could not help but ask, “Does Senior Ye have any other instructions? Can you ask him to save my father?”
“If senior is willing to help, I’m willing to bear whatever price he requested.”
Although the Great Elder did not come over to chat, they were all in the same room. Everyone had heard the conversation between Ban Feimeng and Lin Suxin, but they did not make a sound. However, the development of the matter seemed to be a little off.
“Suxin, there are some things that should not be said so easily. You are still young, so how can you bear the responsibility?”
“Before you came, we had already consulted Scholar Grimm and the Zhao family’s ancestor. Even as archmagisters, they could not do anything. How was it possible that you juniors get to know any senior experts?”
The Great Elder was the first to speak up to stop Lin Suxin.
The other elders of the Lin family also spoke up to stop her.
“The Great Elder is right. Moreover, your area of activity is in the South City. You might run into swindlers who are trying to lure you.”
“The South City hasn’t been peaceful recently. Black mages are often active. Otherwise, why would the Abyss lizard suddenly appear this time?”
Lin Suxin frowned slightly and said, “The methods of the elders are useless. Why can’t you try my method? What if it works?”
“Some of the seniors don’t want others to know..”
