"Are we just going to let them throw dirty water like this?" Lin Yongfeng asked unwillingly, "We at the Lin Family have been based in Dongjiang Province for so many years. Is there nothing we can do about it?"
Someone couldn't help but said, "Grandmaster Ren over there----"
Lin Zhen couldn't help but frown and said, "No matter what happens, Grandmaster Ren must not be involved."
Not only them, but actually the initiators of this public opinion also maintained this kind of restraint.
Not to mention Grandmaster Ren, even the name of Su Yueling was not mentioned, and the public opinion did not mention it at all. The origin of the person who transferred the quota of the Lin Family.
The matter is not hopeless at this point, but once the Grandmaster is involved, whoever does this will definitely be severely suppressed by Federation officials.
The following mutual attacks are not a big problem, but the Grandmaster is the real cornerstone of Federation and must not be touched.
As a result, the debate started again. Some people advocated a strong counterattack and found someone to write articles to expose the "truth"; others believed that we should continue to keep a low profile and wait for the public opinion to cool down naturally.
Both sides insisted on their own opinions, and no one could convince the other. The atmosphere became more and more dull and depressing.
Lin Zhen, who was in the main seat, listened to these arguments and rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers. Lineage was facing a crisis, but it was difficult to unify the opinions internally, which made him feel exhausted mentally and physically.
Just then, a calm voice sounded, breaking the deadlock.
"Father, uncles."
Everyone looked around, and it was Lin Liren who had been silent all this time.
"This happened because of me." Lin Liren's voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly, "It was me who gave the quota to Su Yueling in my own name."
"No matter what the considerations were, this decision ultimately led to today's situation and brought a huge reputation crisis to Lineage."
He paused slightly, as if he was gathering strength, and then continued, "Procedurally speaking, I am a member of the Federation government and am responsible for this work, so I can control the allocation of quotas."
"I will submit my resignation to Council, take the blame and resign as a member of parliament, and Provincial Council will make an announcement to calm public opinion."
After the words fell, everyone looked at Lin Liren in shock, including Lin Zhen in the main seat.
However, some people are really surprised, while others are just pretending.
The root of the matter is that Lin Liren, as a member of parliament, can influence the allocation of quotas. Even though he can obtain the quota itself, it is Lin Family who is behind it.
But from a procedural perspective, this is indeed Lin Liren's personal decision.
Sacrificing one person from Lin Liren is currently the fastest way to calm public opinion and the least harm to Lineage overall. This is not difficult to think of.
However, even if some people think of it, they are unwilling to take the initiative to propose this method because they do not want to be resented by Lin Liren.
Now that he took the initiative, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But taking the blame and resigning basically means the end of Lin Liren's political life.
This not only means that Lin Family's investment in him has been wasted, but it is also a big blow to him personally.
The news was quickly released through the channel Lin Family.
[Dongjiang Province Councilor Lin Liren, due to his personal decision-making mistakes, is mainly responsible for the recent public controversy. He feels deeply guilty and has resigned from all positions today.]
This announcement was first issued by Lin Group, and then approved by Provincial Council, formally approving the resignation application of Councilor Lin Liren.
Although this move cannot completely eliminate public doubts, it does satisfy the public opinion's demand for "someone to be responsible" to a large extent.
Then the angry voices began to weaken, perhaps because the people behind the scenes had achieved their goals and no longer pursued them fiercely.
Relying only on spontaneous discussions among people online, it is difficult to maintain the popularity for too long, and it will slowly fade away after a few days.
Honghe City, training room.
Xu Wuyi has just finished a round of training <Hundred Refinements Furnace> and is wiping his sweat with a towel.
Zhang Qiming Principal opened the door and walked in with a complicated look on his face.
Principal Zhang showed the news on the communicator to Xu Wuyi: "Lin Liren resigned from his position as a member of parliament. This matter is finally over."
Xu Wuyi looked at the brief announcement and nodded slightly.
He has no interest in the internal struggle of the Lin Family, and he is not sure about the results.
On the surface, someone was helping him vent his anger, but in reality, someone was just using him as a weapon.
In this whole matter, he, as the person involved, is of no importance. He can only stand in the corner and watch indifferently. No one cares about his feelings.
Even if Lin Family wanted to ease the relationship afterwards, it was because of his own crisis.
The Su Yueling of the other party is also irrelevant, because no one dares to involve her in her direction.
"I'm still not strong enough----"
Xu Wuyi felt the reality of the adult world for the first time.
Whether you are right or wrong is not that important, only how strong you are is important.
The public opinion storm caused by the Lin Family is like a sudden rain in summer, it comes violently and goes away quickly.
July 10th, Honghe No. 1 High School Martial Arts Training Hall.
The sunlight outside the window was blazing, passing through the window and casting bright spots on the rubber floor covered with fine scratches.
Xu Wuyi's upper body was bare, revealing muscles that were gradually becoming clearer but not overly knotted.
Sweat dripped down his bronze skin like a stream, gathering into a small puddle of dark water at his feet.
Every breath he took was deep and long, and as his chest rose and fell, it seemed as if there was an invisible furnace burning inside his body.
As the practice deepens, the practice of <Hundred Refinements Furnace> is far more difficult and domineering than that of <Basic Body Tempering Method>.
Xu Wuyi also understands its core essence more and more, which is to regard the human body as a furnace into which "fuel" can be continuously added, using Blood and Qi as the fire and the will as the hammer, repeatedly forging, removing the waste and retaining the essence, and finally creating the foundation of the supreme martial arts.
During practice, Blood and Qi no longer flows gently, but instead rushes and collides in Meridians like lava, causing burning pain.
But Xu Wuyi is happy with it.
The world sees him as a genius, his teachers, classmates, and opponents all think so, but only Xu Wuyi himself knows that he is not.
The ultra-fast progress on <Hundred Refinements Furnace> is due to the accumulation brought about by practicing <Basic Body Tempering Method> hundreds of times a day and repeating Epiphany.
This is equivalent to a high school student who has thoroughly learned the high school knowledge and reviewed it hundreds of times. He can get full marks in College Entrance Examination, but he is not much different from other top students.
But once he comes into contact with a deeper level of knowledge, his progress will be much faster than others.
Because knowledge has commonalities, no matter how cutting-edge a theory is, it can certainly be deduced from the basics.
However, Xu Wuyi has never felt complacent because of this. He knows that his accumulation is far from enough.
His <Basic Body Tempering Method> is only at the Minor Achievement level, and what he has learned is in <Hundred Refinements Furnace>
The Novice stage is certainly easy to use, but what about beyond?
He had a very difficult time learning just the last move of the Novice stage [Furnace Boiling Blood]. In the end, he relied on his master-level experience to pass. What will happen after Entry Level?
Xu Wuyi understands that if he wants to continue to maintain a "genius" level of progress, he can only work harder than a true genius.
From <Basic Body Tempering Method> to <Hundred Refinements Furnace>, from <Wind-Settling Spear> to the B-level marksmanship that I will learn in the future, each martial arts must be practiced hundreds of times every day.
Never waste a day of Epiphany opportunity!
Those insights may not have any effect at the time, but they will become his accumulation and shine brightly one day in the future.
"Martial arts are only diligent!"
"Practice, keep practicing!"
Among Sea of Consciousness, [Martial Dao Diligence Record] is suspended quietly.
He immersed all his mind into cultivation, repeatedly pondering the true meaning of "smelting" contained in the exercises, guiding the scorching Blood and Qi, washing the limbs and bones, and nourishing the internal organs.
Time passes quietly in concentration.
