When it came to death, these elders were nothing more than a pack of bastards who bullied the weak and feared the strong! Those straightforward, hot-blooded men of the Tiger Clan's main family could let them run wild, restrained by clan rules from doing anything to them. But once someone like Lin Qi appeared—someone who did not treat clan rules as worth a damn, who was ruthless enough and strong enough—these branch elders were nothing but the grandsons Donkey spoke of.
"Grand Clan Commander, Lin Qi has been disrespectful!" Lin Qi gathered the ferocious expression from his face and bowed to Lin Yueya with the faint embarrassment peculiar to a young man fresh out in the world. "But I ask that the Grand Clan Commander forgive me. Lin Qi truly cannot stand being taken advantage of."
Lin Yueya gave a few "heh heh" chuckles, shook his head, and said nothing.
Lin Qi still had the nerve to say he could not stand being taken advantage of? Looking at things now, it was clearly Lin Qi who had been making everyone else suffer at every turn! Heh—three out of the five Grand Clan Commanders from the five branch clans had been schemed to death by Lin Qi, and the other two had been severely wounded. Yet he could say, without so much as blushing, that he could not take even the slightest loss!
The gazes the various Clan Commanders and elders turned upon Lin Qi were complicated—extremely complicated.
No one present was an idiot. Lin Haiyuan and the other two Clan Commanders had led nearly ten thousand elites from their branch clans into the Wingfolk Forbidden Region. Even if they had encountered an unprecedented surprise assault by high-ranking wingfolk, they should still have had an excellent chance of reaching Sky Castle!
