On Defense

As the previous matter came to a close, Lin Xiao suddenly brought up another topic. "Grandfather, I think there is another matter we should discuss."

Everyone looked at him with apprehension. The fight between the first and second branches had just ended, and given the intensity of their earlier exchange, they couldn't help but be on guard.

Lin Xiao glanced at Lin Ginxian and then at Bei Sangyun. "I heard from my daughter that Bei Sangyun lost the number one rank and she is not anywhere in the list. Could it be that someone messed with the results to target her?"

Lin Xiao finally revealed his card.

He made it seem as if he was a concerned elder for Bei Sangyun, but his inquiry just informed everyone that the advantage Bei Sangyun once had was gone.

Several eyes widened in surprise.

Those who weren't aware of the news glanced at the third branch in astonishment, including Lin Ginxian.
