The next day.
The Lin Family's main hall.
"What?!"
"You killed Lin Yan?!"
In the Lin Family's main hall, a white-haired old man who was seated among the Lin elders suddenly rose to his feet. His face was filled with disbelief as he stared at Lin Xun, who stood alone in the middle of the hall, looking delicate and lovely.
The white-haired old man who had spoken was also an elder of the Lin Family. His name was Lin Heitie.
The other Lin elders all looked grim.
But none of them hurried to speak. Instead, they quietly watched the situation unfold.
"Yes." Lin Xun nodded. "I killed her."
"Why did you kill her?"
The Lin Family patriarch seated above them was Lin Kongbai, Lin Yan and Lin Xun's biological father. He frowned as he looked at Lin Xun.
At this moment, Lin Kongbai was not furious that Lin Xun had killed Lin Yan. He seemed to feel only confusion and puzzlement.
"Please look, elders."
Lin Xun took out the Recording Stone that Emperor Mo Ran had given her.
The Recording Stone had captured Emperor Mo Ran and Lin Yan plotting together to kill Lin Xun. The scene was now vividly displayed before everyone in the hall.
"Lin Yan colluded with the Lin Family's great enemy, Emperor Mo Ran, and intended to kill me, the current Lin Family heir, throwing the Lin Family into chaos. According to the clan rules, shouldn't she have been killed?" Lin Xun asked.
The many Lin elders were all rendered speechless.
According to the clan rules, Lin Yan indeed deserved death.
"Mm." Lin Kongbai nodded. "She did deserve to die. Where did you get this Recording Stone that captured the scene?"
"I only managed to obtain this Recording Stone thanks to a friend." Lin Xun thought
