Confrontation

Lin Family estate

*wah *waah *waah *waaaah *wah

A loud crispy cry of baby echoing from an exquisite room in the Lin clan Manor. It has been 6 hours since the baby started crying; but even after such a long time, the baby's cry didn't cease, if any anything, it increased.

Inside the room

A stunningly beautiful girl around the age of 19 sat on the while gently holding something her embrace. She is the eldest princess of the Lin clan.

Though Lin Mingyu looks a little pale at the moment becuase she just gave birth, her catastrophic beauy didn't diminish a bit; if anything, she became even more beautiful with the addition of a mysterious motherly aura around her.

She has a gorgeous face with almond-shaped, Blue-coloured pair of eyes, blood red-coloured cherry lips, jewel like ears, pearl like nose, Long-black-silk like hair that stretched till her waist; she is like an unattainable indifferent goddess.

At the moment, her always indifferent face has a loving yet worried expression as she looked at the crying baby in her arms.

"Yu'er, you need to calm down and take some rest. Your body is too weak right now. Your Profound energy is more active than usual; if this continued, your meridians will torn apart." a sharp looking middle aged man in the room said anxiously as he spoke to Lin Mingyu. He is Lin Mingchen, Lin Mingyu's father and Lin clan patriarch.

"....."

"I Know you are worried about your daughter, but you can't go on like this. Though it is rare for a baby to cry like this, its not like something like this never happened before. Your grandparents will be here in a while. Your grandfather is a 3-star alchemist and your grandmother is a soul cultivator. You shouldn't worry anymore." he spoke to her in a soft tone.

"....." Lin Mingyu just stayed silent without even turning her head.

Looking at his indifferent daughter, Lin Mingchen just sighed helplessly. He know he couldn't persuade his daughter. Ever since his wife left mysteriously when Lin Mingyu was a child, her personality became like this. She became cold, indifferent and unapproachable.

Suddenly a commotion broke outside the room, which grabbed both of their attention.

Outside the room, a huge crowd gathered; all the members of the Lin clan: from servants to clan elders, everyone was there. They came here to catch a glimpse of the little child, who caused the heavenly phenomenon.

Initially they were waiting silently for a long time as to not to disturb the figures inside the room.

But now, murmurs could be heard everywhere.

"Why is he here?"

"Does he really think he is the son-in-law of Lin clan, how dillusional!"

"I really don't know why our princess married such a waste"

"Yes, yes. Except for his pretty face, he really is a waste. A toad lusting after swan."

The crowd started murmured as they looked at the young man condensingly.

Li Wei, the young man who just entered the manor calmly walked towards the room without caring about fingers that were pointing at him.

Looking at his clam demeanour, the elders were displeased but they still stayed silent. After all, they are important figures; the core of the Lin clan. Why would they care about a mere fake son-in-law.

Unlike elders, the others just insulted him as harsh as they could; especially the junior males, who view Lin Mingyu as a goddess in their hearts. How could they endure the fellow who ruined their goddess.

"Stop right there. The Lin clan manor is not a place, where a mere bumkin like you can wnter as you please" a youth in green robes spoke arroganly as he blocked Li Wei's way.

A deep frown appeared on Li Wei's face as he was stopped Midway. His abysmal black eyes narrowed as he looked at the youth sharpely; a huge pressure akin to mountain errupted from his body. "who the fuck are you?" Li Wei asked coldly.

Everyone felt the temperature in the room dropped.

Lin Dong's whole body trembled. All his Arrogance vanished; a horryfied expression appeared on Lin Dong's face. Under the unbearable pressure, Lin Dong's knees went weak as he kneeled. Looking at the cold figure that was approaching his body, he shouted as hard as could. "You- you.. wha-t are doing... My father is a- high elder.. Don't you dare harm me!!!" he shouted hysterically. He looked nothing like a genius of Lin clan, but a mad dog that was under attack.

Suddenly the pressure on him disappeared without a trace, like smoke.

Before he could sigh in relief, he saw Li Wei approaching without stopping; only this time, he saw a bright smile on Li Wei's handsome face that felt like warm sunlight in the spring.

A chill went down Lin Dong's spine as he felt even more horrified than before.

Li Wei placed his right hand Lin Dong's head: and smiled warmly. Rubbing Lin Dong's head for a while, he spoke in a elder like tone "sigh~ child, you are as mischevious as your mother. If you don't behave next time, I will have to punish you: after all, I'm like a half-father to you!". Saying that, he just passed by the crowd; and went into room.

The crowd was dumbfounded by the sudden twists and turns. Just a moment ago, they were stunned because of the pressure of a body Strenthening 9th stage cultivator from Li Wei's body. Before they could even question how a waste had such a high cultivation; they were once again stunned by his elder-like behaviour towards Lin Dong.

While others were just stunned by the sudden twists and turns, the clan elders felt something more. Even they, as high level Qi Condensation stage cultivators felt danger from Li Wei.

After all, it is very very for one to feel threat from other if they aren't in the same stage.

For every single cultivation realm, a single minor stage in the same realm makes whole lot of difference; not to mention a whole realm.

A single thought etched in their minds 'this guy isn't as simple as everyone thought he was'.

While everyone immersed in their thoughts, Lin Dong just kneeled there blankly.
