Chapter 339 : Lin Yun Steps Forward
"Miss Lin, don't overestimate your importance! I'm aware that your family is embroiled in some affair recently. I invited you out to dinner today to discuss this matter. Although my Zhong Family may not be big, we have ways to resolve this issue... If you refuse, for your Lin Family... Ha...
It would be child's play for us!" Zhong Nan gave a cold laugh and said.
The Zhong Family... Zhong Nan was able to take Wei Donglai as his master because he had backing. Although the Zhong Family was not as powerful as Lin Yun's Mie Family or the Lu Family, it was still a significant force!
However, there was a bluff to Zhong Nan's current speech. His status in the Zhong Family wasn't high. Otherwise, the last time, he wouldn't have been so excited about the ten billion and fifteen billion compensation given to his master by the Mie Family!
It was only these past few days that he has broken through to the realm of Dark Strength that his status in the Zhong Family has significantly moved up!
After all, his master Wei Donglai was a martial arts Grandmaster in the later stages of the Huajin Realm, a Baji Sect elder, and also an elder in the Martial Arts Realm. He represented quite the power in certain respects!
His martial arts realm had progressed to the realm of Dark Strength, which greatly enhanced his weight in Wei Donglai's eyes!
Both factors combined, made his recent mentality become increasingly inflated!
Lin Mengmeng, in the eyes of many young martial artists, was an unattainable goddess... but in his eyes, she was nothing!
She was just a little girl from an insignificant martial arts family. Moreover, this martial arts family was in a stormy situation... Even though he was a low-ranked descendant of the Zhong Family, being a disciple of Wei Donglai, inherently made him superior!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Hehe..."
"Interesting..."
"I did not expect, Zhong Nan actually dares to threaten like this, it seems that lately his position in the Zhong Family and the Baji Sect has risen a lot..."
From a distance, some martial arts prodigies who saw this scene all chuckled lightly.
Among them, some had expressed interest in Lin Mengmeng before and got rejected, while some had not yet made their move.

At this moment, they just watched the scene with a smile, remaining unperturbed.
They had heard a bit about the Golden Sword Sect's affairs in the past couple of days.
They wanted to see how Lin Mengmeng would react under these circumstances.
"This is outrageous!"
"Such audacity, this is the Martial Arts conference, and he dares to threaten so openly!"
"Does he think that no one else exists?"
"Does he think this benefits Master Wei? Master Wei is an elder of the Martial Arts conference. Is he trying to bring disgrace to Master Wei?"
At the side of Lin Mengmeng, some young Martial Artists who admired Lin Mengmeng saw this scene and began to express their outrage.
"Hush! Silence! The person over there is a descendant of the Zhong Family, and also a disciple of Wei Donglai, central to the Baji Sect...aren't you fearing for your life..."
"Don't draw his attention to you. Maybe during the Martial Arts Conference, he can't do much, but after the conference is over..."
"These major faction descendants, they are already beyond the common, don't expect the law to protect us..."
However, a majority of the young Martial Artists had their faces change color upon hearing this, and they secretly informed their partners about the situation and whispered to those around them.
Some people didn't dare to speak up... they didn't want their partners to speak up either... they didn't want those around them to speak up either... This was a peculiar mentality... it seemed like, the less fanfare, the less galling they felt.
Like this, these kinds of conversations were generously whispered out quickly, quickly forming a particular atmosphere.
Under such circumstances, some people who originally wanted to speak up, didn't dare to do so anymore.
Some of them even dared not look at Zhong Nan angrily anymore.
Only the disciples from the Golden Sword Sect were still fuming and staring at Zhong Nan. However, Lin Yuanshan had given them instructions before, and at this moment, Lin Mengmeng waved her hand to stop them, so they all swallowed their anger.
They feared that by speaking, they would bring calamity upon Lin Mengmeng and the Golden Sword Sect.
However, the situation around them left them greatly disappointed.
These people, who had admired and pursued their young lady so much before... weren't willing to stand up now when a situation arose, it was shameful... unworthy of being Martial Artists, so disappointing.
Lin Mengmeng was also greatly disappointed in her heart.
Although, she didn't hold much hope for those around her from the start.
On the contrary, seeing this, Zhong Nan felt even more complacent, and his inflated self-importance swelled even more.
"Listening to you, you want to strike at the Lin Family? I wonder, does the Lin Family you mentioned include this Lin?" At this moment, a faint voice came from beyond the crowd.
A young man dressed in a white training robe slowly walked out. His ordinary face bore a pair of lively eyes.
This person was Lin Yun, who was now under the pseudonym Lin Yi, after having altered his appearance.
"Who are you? I'm talking to Miss Lin, what business is it of yours?" Zhong Nan looked at Lin Yun and said coldly.
People usually pay more attention to those in front of them. Lin Yun might have secured the top twenty in yesterday's competition, but his performance was not outstanding. Therefore, Zhong Nan had not paid attention to Lin Yun. Most of his attention was on those who had shown Dark Strength.
"Unfortunately, I am Lin Yi." Lin Yun said lightly.
"Lin Yi? The one from the top twenty?"
"He's also surnamed Lin... could it be that Zhong Nan's words just now offended him..."
"This man is also stupid, Zhong Nan is not someone to mess with, most people would avoid him, yet there he goes picking a fight..."
"You can't say that. If he can make it to the top twenty, his abilities must not be weak, perhaps, he also has a strong background..."
"That's debatable. I know him, I've watched several of his matches, especially the last one yesterday. Him making it to the top twenty was due to luck. His opponent was just at the Mingjin peak..."
"Are you guys crazy? Can't you see that the Lin Family... is just an excuse? He just wanted to stand up for Fairy Lin?"
Unsettled chatter spread among the crowd. As they spoke, everyone's gaze was now fixed on Zhong Nan and Lin Yi as they wanted to see how things would develop.
"Lin Yi?"
Seeing Lin Yun, Lin Mengmeng's eyes brightened.
Because this person's back resembled... Lin Yun's, she had paid attention to him several times before.
However, her gaze quickly dimmed again.
This person, although they resembled Lin Yun, was not Lin Yun. Perhaps... he was just another person attracted to her looks. It's just that the way he got involved was different.
Thinking like this, she felt a hint of bitterness.
She was brought up with a golden spoon in her mouth and never felt so powerless before.
Among the crowd, Lin Yuanshan who was about to step in stopped in his tracks on seeing this scene.
"Lin Yi? The top twenty? Ha, so you want to pick a fight with me?" Zhong Nan laughed coldly, and said.
"Why not?" Lin Yun replied indifferently.
"This Lin Yi is crazy... He dares to pick this fight..."
"No wonder he dared to disable Senior Brother Xin Tang's arm..."
"It looks like we don't need our elder brother to personally deal with him anymore..."
Some of the Seven Injuries Sect disciples who were staring at Lin Yun were staring with wide eyes in disbelief as they saw the scene unfold.
