How Could Anyone Serving Under My Lord Be Trash?

The woman's eyes widened suddenly, and she shouted angrily, "No! Xiao'er is your own daughter! How can you be so heartless!"

Lin Biao's face was ashen, and he said resolutely, "For the Lin Clan, there's nothing I wouldn't do."

Then, with a sharp gaze and a firm tone, he said, "I don't care what methods you use, as long as it achieves your goal, it's a good strategy."

The woman trembled with rage, pointing at Lin Biao and yelling, "Lin Biao, you scum!"

Lin Biao scoffed, nonchalantly flicked his sleeves, and said...

"You used to do the same thing all the time, only now the target is Xiao'er. Why such a big reaction?"

The woman was rendered speechless by these words; she hesitated, unsure how to refute them.

Zhu Clan

Inside the house

Lin Ge tilted his head slightly and slowly untied the ribbon covering his eyes.

He looked Nan Xunran without any hindrance, and seeing his calm and unsurprised expression, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly, sighed softly, and said, "So you did know."

Nan Xunran's gaze swept over Lin Ge, remaining noncommittal.

Lin Ge clasped his hands in front of him, his expression calm, and said softly, "My lord, the Lin Clan will send someone soon."

Upon Nan Xunran slightly raised her eyes.

Lin Ge continued calmly, "They must already know I've returned, and that I'm accompanying a great figure from the Upper Realm."

Then, he turned slightly to the side, his clothes fluttering, and said, "If they want to live, they will definitely start with you."

"Once you stop protecting me, I'm nothing in the Lin Clan's eyes."

Nan Xunran's voice was cool and somewhat nonchalant. "So, are you?"

Lin Ge smiled and said slowly, "How could anyone serving under our lord be a useless piece of trash, be it?"

Nan Xunran didn't say a word, only a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Lin Ge remained calm and said, "The Lin Clan will likely send Lin Xiao to bewitch you; after all, this is the only method they can come up with."

Then, he tilted his head slightly, his eyes gentle, and continued, "Lin Xiao is the daughter of the Lin Clan patriarch. At this time, the Lin Clan patriarch will definitely choose to make Lin Xiao make a sacrifice."

"If we could truly establish a connection with you, the Lin Clan could rise to prominence overnight thanks to Lin Xiao's status."

Nan Xunran nodded slightly.

Lin Ge bowed slightly and said calmly, "You don't need to worry about anything, I will handle everything."

Nan Xunran chuckled softly and said, "Okay."

Day 2

Suddenly, a soft knocking sounded abruptly. "My lord, the Lin Clan requests an audience."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ge's lips curled up slightly, and he murmured, "It seems my prediction was correct."

Nan Xunran remained calm and composed, his voice neither hurried nor slow, "Enter."

In a short while, the Lin Clan members stepped in one by one.

As soon as Lin Biao entered, his gaze immediately locked onto Lin Ge.

He clenched his fists tightly, forcing a smile onto his face, and said through gritted teeth, "Long time no see, Lin-Ge!"

Lin Ge nodded slightly, his voice gentle, "Long time no see."

The woman behind Lin Biao trembled violently upon seeing Lin Ge, her eyes instantly filled with rage, and she nearly lost control, wanting to rush forward.

Her heart burned with rage. The person who killed Mao'er was standing right in front of her, but she could only suppress it, her hands clenched tightly in her sleeves, almost drawing blood.

Lin Xiao, however, did not react as strongly as they did.

Her first glance fell upon Nan Xunran, the powerful figure from the Upper Realm whom her mother had instructed her to seduce.

She had been reluctant at first, but upon seeing Nan Xunran's handsome appearance, she instantly changed her mind and called out sweetly, "My lord."

Nan Xunran didn't even lift his eyelids, showing absolutely no interest in her.

Seeing Lin Xiao's initiative, Lin Biao was secretly pleased. Without making a sound, he gently nudged her with his elbow and said in a low voice, "Be more proactive."

Lin Xiao turned around and called out softly, with a coquettish tone, "Father."

Then, following the force, she moved forward gracefully with light, lotus-like steps.

Her face radiated confidence, and she parted her lips slightly to say, "My lord, why don't you look at me?"

She swayed her waist slightly, her movements carrying a deliberate air of allure.

She even thought that she was too beautiful and charming, so much so that Nan Xunran did not dare to look directly at her.

This thought inflated her confidence, making her feel elated.

Lin Ge stood to the side, his eyes slightly narrowed, and instantly understood Lin Xiao's thoughts.

Although he found it amusing, and even somewhat wanted to see how she would humiliate herself, he absolutely could not let her disturb his lord.

He slowly raised his hand, and the long bamboo stick in his hand pressed firmly against her chest, a powerful force forcing her back several steps.

"Miss, the master has not permitted you to approach." Lin Ge's voice carried an air of unquestionable authority.

Lin Xiao's eyebrows furrowed, and she said sharply, "Lin Ge! How dare you treat me like this!"

Then, in a fit of rage, he roared, "What did you call me? Are you looking for a beating?!"

Lin Ge suddenly appeared in front of her, his face still bearing that gentle smile. "So, what do you intend to do?"

Lin Xiao involuntarily took a few steps back, only then realizing that Lin Ge's attitude was very different from before.

Thinking of Lin Mao, whom he had killed, she felt a surge of panic, and her speech became stammering.

"You... you stay away from me! Don't think you can be so arrogant just because you've latched onto someone important!"

Lin Ge's smile widened, and he said slowly, "Arrogant?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemingly swung the bamboo stick in his hand casually, but it swiftly swept past Lin Xiao's ear, precisely shaving off a strand of her hair.

Lin Xiao froze for a moment, staring blankly at the strand of hair on the ground.

After a long while, she finally came to her senses and screamed, "Ah!!"

She shrank back abruptly, her face filled with fear.

Lin Biao's face instantly turned extremely ugly, and he roared, "Lin Ge!"

Lin Ge smiled slightly and said, "Is there something you need?"

Lin Biao stared at Lin Ge, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He fully sensed that the situation was dire.

When exactly did Lin Ge reach such a level of cultivation? Or has he been concealing his true strength all along?

Suddenly, he remembered Lin Mao's body, burned beyond recognition, the fatal wound of which had killed him instantly.

If Lin Ge's cultivation level weren't far superior to Lin Mao's, he simply couldn't have done it so cleanly and efficiently.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and sighed inwardly: At such a young age, his mind is so meticulous, and he has not revealed the slightest flaw.

He looked up and saw that Nan Xunran's face was indifferent, showing no sign of intervening.

Left with no other choice, he could only place his hopes on Lin Xiao.
