Lin Zhong showed a bit of pride on his face, “Young master, no one in Lin family is more qualified to occupy Heart-cleansing Peak than you!”

Lin Xun understood soon that this was a special care from the imperial family.

Hundreds of years ago, Lin Daochen, a powerful Life-death Realm ancestor of Lin Family, fought for the Empire. Although he died, he helped the Empire resolve a terrible disaster successfully.

Therefore, emperor gave the belongings of Heart-cleansing Peak to the lineal descendants of Lin Daochen!

Lin Feiting, Lin Xun’s grandfather, was Lin Daochen’s eldest son. And Lin Xun’s father, Lin Wenjing, was Lin Daochen’s eldest grandson.

In terms of seniority, Lin Xun was Lin Daochen’s lineal grandson!

In the bloody event more than ten years ago, almost all the lineal descendants of Lin Daochen were killed. According to the emperor’s will, Lin Xun became the only one who was qualified to own Heart-cleansing Peak.

As for other clansmen, they had to move out of Heart-cleansing Peak even if they didn’t want to after the bloody incident.

Since almost all the lineal descendants of Lin Daochen’s family had died, even Lin Xun, who was still in his infancy, was considered unlikely to survive from the murder, and Heart-cleansing Peak should be taken over by the emperor.

However, the imperial family didn’t make this decision. Heart-cleansing Peak still belonged to Lin Family.

“Did they know that I was not dead?”

Lin Xun was surprised.

Lin Zhong had guarded here for many years, he was extremely puzzled about this too. As Lin Xun asked it, he murmured, “It might be possible. In these years, I often worry Heart-cleansing Peak would be taken away one day, but it didn’t happen before you come back. So it seems that the imperial family thought that you were bound to return. ”

Lin Xun suddenly thought of the big shot in the palace. Would it be him?

Soon Lin Xun shook his head.

At present, this issue was not important. As long as Heart-cleansing Peak still belonged to the Lin Family, things would be alright.

“Granddad Zhong, I want to ask you something.”

Lin Xun looked solemn.

Lin Zhong immediately straightened his back and said, “Go ahead, young master. I must say it without hiding.”

Lin Xun leaned forward slightly and stared at Lin Zhong with his deep black eyes,”If I want to recover Lin’s clan, where do you think I should start?”

Lin Zhong was shocked on hearing that. He looked excited, but soon calmed down and said bitterly, “Young master, there are only you and me on Heart-cleansing Peak. It is almost impossible to do this...”

He knew better than Lin Xun about the current situation of the Lin clan. Even though Lin Xun was the only descendant who was qualified to inherit Heart-cleansing Peak, he was too young and single-handed to shoulder the task of recovering Lin family!

What was more, the other four branches of Lin Family would not be reconciled easily!

On the contrary, Lin Zhong was sure that when those collateral clansmen learned that Lin Xun was going to take charge of Heart-cleansing Peak and sit on the throne of patriarch, they would stop him resolutely!

He knew the characteristics of these people. After the bloody incident, they fought for power with the enemies and made Lin Family completely fall into internal troubles. The originally power and industry of Lin Family were completely divided later.

How could these people accept Lin Xun to be the ruler of Heart-cleansing Peak easily?

What was more, those powerful forces who divided Lin Family’s industry would not watch Lin Xun grow stronger under their eyes.

Family troubles!

Enemies’ interference!

Lin Xun was so young. He was too weak to fight alone. It was more difficult than reaching to the sky to command the whole Lin family!

Lin Xun knew at once that Lin Zhong didn’t mean to give him a blow on purpose. Lin Zhong just thought he didn’t have the ability to run Lin Family at present.

Lin Xun frowned and refuted nothing.

He knew as well that he was short of people, money and abundant capital. It was really difficult to recover Lin Family.

However, since he came back, how could he be indifferent to this embarrassing situation?

Blocking on the way was none of problem, but fighting will would be!

Although Lin family was no longer prosperous, the situation wouldn’t be worse. As long as he planned it step by step, he would eventually achieve the target of reversing the situation and making Lin Family rise again!

If he didn’t plan for this, he’d better get out of the Forbidden City at once!

Of course, he would not give up due to his tough character.

“Granddad Zhong, whether you trust me or not, please first tell me how to make it real, or I will be regret forever. I may lose, but I should give a try first!”

Lin Xun’s eyes were firm.

But Lin Zhong’s face changed. He gnashed his teeth and said finally, “These years, my life has been a living hell. I would like to die if I should guard Heart-cleansing Peak left by the patriarch. Since you want to make a try, young master, I will fight together with you at full stretch! ”

His voice was sonorous.

Lin Xun smiled at once, patted Lin Zhong on his shoulder and said: “Don’t worry, Granddad Zhong, although I’m alone, I haven’t encountered a problem that can’t be solved yet.”

“Young master, the first thing you need to do is to have a comprehensive understanding of the current situation of our Lin Family.”

“Only by solving the family problems first can we gather the clansmen to fight against the external enemies!”

This was Lin Zhong’s suggestion.

Lin Xun thought for a while and nodded. This was true.

He encountered a lot of problems after he entered the Forbidden City, but the first one should be solved was his family problem!

As long as it was solved, he would stabilize his foundation in the Forbidden City. If his foundation was not stable, it was absurd to revenge his parents and relatives.

In order to make Lin Xun understand Lin family further, Lin Zhong took Lin Xun away from the Heart-cleansing Hall.

...

Behind Heart-cleansing Peak.

Sutra Pavilion

Seven-story old building bathed in silver starlight.

This was the place where Lin family collected ancient books. It was the core forbidden area of the clan. In the seven-story building, Lin family’s cultivation skills had been passed down for thousands of years.

At that time, Lin family was one of the top-ranking aristocratic families with great power. It could be imagined how amazing the ancient books of practice it inherited were.

Sutra Pavilion also showed the power of a family.

But when Lin Xun entered their family’s Sutra Pavilion under the leader of Lin Zhong, he saw rows of bookshelves scatter in disorder with cobwebs covered and dust piled up.

It was like being robbed by a group of robbers. Not any paper could be found in Sutra Pavilion, let alone the ancient books of practice!

“Young master, Sutra Pavilion is divided into seven floors. It was built by our ancestors with all their efforts. The ancient books collected here at that time was huge.”

Lin Zhong’s voice was low and his face was complex. He scanned the empty hall full of cobweb and dust.

“At this first floor, there are more than 3000 ancient books of various practices and more than 1900 combat secret skills.”

“But after the bloody event of that year, these invaluable ancient books had been robbed... ”

Lin Zhong’s voice was bitter with loneliness and sadness.

Lin Xun looked around for a long time. He didn’t make any comment but clenched his hands unconsciously.

With that, Lin Zhong took Lin Xun to the second floor of Sutra Pavilion.

“Young master, there are 1600 ancient books of cultivation and more than 700 secret fighting skills in the second floor.”

On the second floor, there were also rows of bookshelves collapsed. Dust and cobwebs could be seen everywhere. In some places, there remained traces of fighting and blood stains. Everything was in a mess.

“Let’s go to the third floor.”

Lin Xun stood in silence for a long time. He took a deep breath and drew back his eyes.

Next, Lin Zhong led Lin Xun up floor by floor. Without exception, they were all empty and broken.

Up to the highest level, Lin Zhong’s face appeared loss and sad. He gradually became emotional. It seemed that his morale was about to collapse.

There were only a few rows of bookshelves here.

But this was the core forbidden area in Sutra Pavilion. None of the non-core-figures of Lin Family were qualified to step into it at that time!

“Young master, what we have here is the most precious inheritance secret script of our Lin family. There are seven in total. Besides, there are 54 books of cultivation experience left by our ancestors, on which record the real core inheritance! ”

Lin Zhong seemed to lose all his strength after introducing all this and he looked very gloomy.

Standing beside Lin Zhong, the anger in Lin Xun’s heart was about to boil out too.

In a trance, he seemed to see a group of enemies plundering Sutra Pavilion with endless greed and ecstasy.

That were all the ancient books Lin Family collected with efforts! It was the foundation of the Lin family! But now, it was all ransacked!

Crack! Crack!

Lin Xun clenched his hands tightly into fists. He knuckled so hard that the veins on the back of his hands bulged.

But Lin Xun didn’t realize it. There was a fire of hatred burning in his dark eyes.

After a long time, Lin Xun retrieved his eyes and strode down Sutra Pavilion.

He couldn’t bear to stay her any longer. He was afraid that he could not control his anger. A treasure house of practicing scripts built by Lin family for generations was completely destroyed because of that bloody incident!

Even an outsider would be deeply sorry to see such a scene. Wouldn’t it hurt Lin Xun, the lineal descendant of Lin family, more?

“Granddad Zhong, do you know the people who robbed these ancient books?”

“Yes.”

“Write it down for me one by one. Don’t miss any one of it! ”

“Don’t worry, young master. I will never forget those murderers until I die.”

Out of Sutra Pavilion, Lin Xun took a deep breath and began to order Lin Zhong something.

He suddenly thought of one thing and said, “Were there any other four clansmen who robbed Sutra pavilion?”

Lin Zhong’s body was stiff and his face changed.

Seeing Lin Zhong’s expressions, there was no need for Lin Xun to ask more. Lin Xun already knew the answer. His eyes suddenly became cold, but he chuckled and said, “Nice clansmen!”

His smile was colder than his eyes, without feelings.

Lin Zhong’s heart was inexplicably chilled, and he shivered then.
