Chapter 170 Han Lan
Tianhuang Continent, South China Sea, Lin Family.
After learning about Jin Ya's bad deeds, Lin Zhao lifted her ears and apologized to the Lin family disciples who had been harassed by her.
"I just touched them, I didn't do anything to them." After apologizing, Jin Ya was still not convinced.
After hearing this, Lin Zhao glared at her. She finally calmed down and began to look around the Lin family.
Although the Lin family disciples still looked a bit eager, they had restrained themselves a lot in the end.
The elders of the Lin family did not know the origin of this girl, but since she was brought back by Lin Zhao, they did not want to offend her, so they quickly arranged accommodation for her.
"I wonder who this is?"
After the Lin family's servants took Jin Ya to rest, the Lin family's eldest elder asked tentatively.
In recent years, Lin Zhao has seldom brought people home, but before joining Yunding Peak, Lin Zhao had rescued many orphans on the battlefield and brought them to the Lin family, so they were not too surprised.
However, Jin Ya's appearance and temperament don't seem like she can be raised in a small family, and she is able to tease the younger generation of the Lin family without considering their defenses. It can be seen that this little girl's strength and talent are quite terrifying.
Lin Zhao said: "The eldest sister of the most powerful force in the Golden Crow Continent."
Since the Four-Party Alliance and the Tianhuang Continent did not publicize Jin Ya's identity after the continental competition, Lin Zhao naturally would not say it.
A young divine beast that is comparable to the Heavenly Phoenix is enough to cause bloody storms across the continents.
“From the Golden Crow Continent?” The Lin family elder’s expression grew a little more serious. Thinking of how Lin Zhao had dared to pull this person’s ear just now, he couldn’t help but give Lin Zhao a thumbs up.
He is indeed the head of the family, and he is extraordinary despite his young age.
Surrounded by the admiring gazes of several elders, Lin Zhao explained helplessly: "This girl is just a child at heart, don't pay too much attention to her."
As she spoke, she looked at the pile of Lin family official business in front of her and took a deep breath: "What is this?"
Several elders looked at each other, and it was the chief elder who explained: "This is something that needs the head of the family's attention during this period of time..."
"You guys handle it." Lin Zhao picked up a book and flipped through it. "The elders are more experienced than Lin Zhao, so I'll leave these matters to you. I won't stay for too long this time, but I'll still try to study alchemy in the family."
The second elder was surprised and said, "The Patriarch chose to practice medicine? Then we should go and invite Elder Han here immediately."
Old Han is the fifth-grade alchemist that the Lin family has. After Yao Yun was captured, Old Han, as the only fifth-grade alchemist in the Lin family, has become increasingly prominent in status.
Lin Zhao put down the housework she had been flipping through, threw it on the table, and told the Fourth Elder to take it away for the Elders' Council to deal with, then asked the Second Elder.
"Uncle, what's wrong with Elder Han?"
The second elder curled his lips subconsciously when he heard this: "What can happen to him?"
He just took advantage of the fact that there was no other fifth-rank alchemist in the family after Yao Yun was captured, so he has been acting arrogantly.
Han Lan had not given much respect to the head of the family before, not to mention that Yao Yun was captured, Lin Mang was in seclusion, and Lin Zhao, who took over the position of head of the family, was not at home all year round. The status of these elders was equal to Han Lan, and even if the elders united to punish him, they could not find someone to authorize him.
Due to various factors, Han Lan has become more and more arrogant during his time in the Lin family. Now it can be said that except for the ancestor of the Lin family who can invite him, no one else in the Lin family is qualified to be looked at by him.
This really made the elders of the Lin family feel upset for a while.
However, Han Lan's alchemy skills are indeed what the rapidly developing Lin family needs. For the sake of the Lin family, these elders really dare not do anything to him.
This pout made Lin Zhao curl his lips, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It seems that Elder Han is doing well?"
The Great Elder sighed, "Master, we won't hide it from you. The Lin family is doing well now. Even the Medicine Refining Hall is now controlled by Han Lan. Even we, the elders of the Lin family, have to look at his face to get pills from the Medicine Refining Hall."
The smile on Lin Zhao's face grew thicker: "Take me to see it."
She had put so much effort into gaining a reputation at Nanhai College and in the mainland competition. In addition to protecting herself, it was largely to help the Lin family move to a higher level and to give her parents and brother a stable home.
Now, Han Lan actually relied on the fifth-grade alchemy skills and the support from the Lin family to act arrogantly in the Lin family. This has already touched Lin Zhao's bottom line.
Sensing the flash of coldness from the girl, the elder followed her with a trembling heart and advised: "Master, although Han Lan is hateful, he has devoted many years to the Lin family after all."
Lin Zhao tilted his head, restrained his emotions, and said with a smile: "It depends on how Master Han chooses. If he doesn't know how to appreciate it, it's not impossible for the Lin family to hire a fifth-grade alchemist now."
The third elder who led the way clapped his hands and agreed: "With the financial strength of our family now, we can hire not only a fifth-grade alchemist, but also a sixth-grade alchemist!"
After hearing this, Lin Zhao thought for a moment and said, "The Lin family has only been focusing on developing itself recently and has not been developing external social circles. Now that we already have the foundation and capital of an aristocratic family, it is time to jump out of the previous social circle. Tomorrow, I will invite people from all the major aristocratic families and the three masters of the four sacred places to the Lin family in my name."
Before returning to the Lin family, Lin Zhao had not thought about these things. Now that she has returned to the Lin family, Lin Zhao realized that in order to stabilize the Lin family among the aristocratic families again, it is not enough to just increase the capital and foundation.
The Lin family's social circle and their reputation on the mainland must be brought back to their former heights.
Upon hearing this, the elders of the Lin family all nodded approvingly.
Even though Lin Zhao is only at the Golden Core Great Perfection stage now, her fame is enough in the entire Tianhuang Continent.
In addition, Nanhai College is now almost clearly on the side of the Lin family. Who dares not to give face to Nanhai College?
Once the social circle returns to its previous state, it will be easier to mobilize resources in all aspects.
These old guys have witnessed the heyday of the Lin family, so their own social circles are quite high. However, the younger generation of the Lin family grew up during the Lin family's low period, and their horizons can no longer keep up with the current development speed of the Lin family. It is time for them to expand and upgrade their social circles.
When it comes to hiring a new alchemist, the second elder said, "Speaking of which, if the head of the family makes the final decision, I do know a sixth-rank alchemist who can be invited to join the Lin family."
The other elders looked at him sideways: "Why didn't you mention it before?"
The second elder said, "I said it, do we old guys dare to make the final decision?"
The elders were silent. Of course they didn't dare.
After all, the reason why Han Lan could act so arrogantly was that they had to endure it.
After all, Han Lan has been with the Lin family for all these years and never left even when the Lin family was at its lowest point. The elders don't have the courage to ask him to abdicate.
But Lin Zhao did.
The Lin family has had enough of the humiliation over the years. Han Lan did not abandon the Lin family during the low period, and the Lin family also did not treat him unfairly, giving him enough status and resources to support him.
The Lin family may take their relationship into consideration, but that does not mean that he can rely on this relationship to bully others when his own strength cannot keep up with the development of the Lin family.
