The Lin Family of Donghua!
Kyoto nightclub, the Supreme Emperor Box.
"Ah Shan, really! Brother Lin is my honored guest. How could you use such a brutal method? If this gets out, where will the face of the Donghua Lin family be?"
"Haha, Brother Lin, I'm really sorry. It's all because my subordinates are ignorant and have no manners at all. They almost caused a misunderstanding. Here's what I'll do: I'll punish myself with three cups of wine as an apology to you on his behalf."
The handsome young man, with a hint of sinister intent, raised his wine glass, apologetic, and after reprimanding his subordinates lurking in the shadows, solemnly addressed Lin Xiao before him.
"Young Master Lin is joking. It's all a small matter and not worth mentioning."
Lin Xiao looked at the young man in front of him, who had a sinister aura and was about the same age, and wore a polite smile.
However, his heart was churning with turbulent emotions and an almost uncontrollable excitement.
Although Lin Xiao had a rough guess when he came.
It was only after seeing the young man in front of him that Lin Xiao truly confirmed the person's identity.
Lin Jiuxiao, the third young master of the Lin family!
The Lin family of Donghua!
Another top family with the power to suppress the fortune of an eighth-rank Battle Emperor!
More importantly, the Lin family was also a military family, the second most powerful force in the empire.
Moreover, they don't get along well with the Chen family.
This is undoubtedly fantastic news.
At this moment, Lin Xiao could roughly guess why the other party had invited him. Most likely, they saw his potential and wanted to recruit him.
In fact, given the potential he had shown at Donghua University and his clean family background, someone should have already come to recruit him.
It was only because of Chen Beiyuan that the major powers were unwilling to offend the Donghua Chen family easily, and instead chose to wait and see, which put him in an awkward position.
However, today, someone has finally come to our door.
Lin Jiuxiao's next words clearly confirmed his guess.
"Brother Lin, why call me Young Master Lin? It sounds too formal. Just call me Jiuxiao. To be honest, ever since you rose to prominence at Donghua Academy, the Lin family has been paying close attention to you. I even sent someone to check the family tree and found that your ancestors branched off from the main branch of the Lin family hundreds of years ago. We are all family. It's just that we haven't been in touch much these past few years, which is why we've become a little distant."
Lin Jiuxiao's face was filled with emotion and excitement, his tone full of warmth. It was as if Lin Xiao in front of him was a long-lost relative.
In reality, such words are just polite platitudes used to fool people.
Such top families, which have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years, have countless collateral branches that have spread out over the years.
For the Donghua Lin family, those Lins from collateral branches were practically no different from strangers.
If any member of a collateral branch were to foolishly try to visit the Donghua Lin family, they would likely be beaten out by the servants and cursed as a baseless scoundrel who had no idea where he came from and was trying to claim kinship with the Lin family.
Unless a particularly outstanding genius suddenly emerges from a collateral branch of the bloodline, it will not attract the attention of the main family, who will personally recruit them to replenish their bloodline.
As the protagonist, Lin Xiao, a divine doctor who climbed up from the bottom, also understands the "coldness of human relationships and the ways of the world".
He immediately channeled his inner movie star, his face filled with excitement and trembling:
"It's...it's really true. My ancestors were actually close relatives of the Lin family of Donghua? Young Master Lin...no, Jiuxiao, are you telling the truth?!"
The Lin family wanted to recruit him to keep their talent fresh.
He also longed to climb up to the Lin family as a powerful backer and have them serve as his background.
Both sides got what they wanted.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao's gaze secretly swept over the venomous figure in the corner.
Clearly, that was the Ah Shan that Lin Jiuxiao had just mentioned.
Seventh-Rank Battle Emperor!
He can command a seventh-rank War Emperor as his subordinate at will.
The sheer terror of the Donghua Lin family, a top-tier clan, is naturally self-evident.
With the Lin family as his backer, he wouldn't be so easily suppressed when facing Chen Beiyuan.
He could even secretly plot after joining the Lin family, substituting one member for another, and thus bring down the entire Lin family...
Lin Xiao wore a smile, but a spark of ambition began to ignite deep within his eyes.
"Haha, Brother Lin, of course it's true! We're family!"
"I know that Brother Lin has recently encountered some troubles, but those troubles are nothing to the Lin family."
"I heard that Brother Lin was suppressed because he offended that guy Chen Beiyuan. I don't care about what happened before, but after Brother Lin joined the Lin family, I have to take care of it. How about this, I'll find an opportunity to arrange a meeting and resolve your issues another day."
"No matter how arrogant Chen Beiyuan is, he still has to give me and the Lin family some face."
Lin Jiuxiao said with an air of domineering confidence.
His tone was brimming with a pretentious air.
"Young Master Lin is so domineering!"
Seeing that Lin Jiuxiao wanted to stand up for him on behalf of the Lin family.
Lin Xiao was overjoyed and deliberately flattered him.
With the Lin family as his backer, Chen Beiyuan and his lackeys would have to think twice before they dared to touch him.
When the time comes, he will also have a chance to redeem himself.
"Chen Beiyuan, it's not too late to settle the score between us."
Lin Xiao cursed inwardly.
In a short time, thanks to Lin Xiao's deliberate flattery, the atmosphere in the private room gradually became harmonious.
Especially after Lin Xiao inadvertently revealed that he had successfully transformed into a dragon and that his battle spirit had advanced to a top-tier battle spirit, the atmosphere reached its peak.
Lin Jiuxiao's attitude towards him was noticeably more enthusiastic, and his gaze towards him became even more ardent.
Before long, the two men were arm in arm, drinking heartily, embracing the woman, and praising each other.
Look at how warmly they're getting along; even a dog wouldn't believe they're not long-lost loved ones, brothers.
...
Just as Lin Xiao, the protagonist of this miracle doctor story, was happy to have found a powerful backer...
Chen Beiyuan also returned to the Chen family and went back to his room.
However, at this moment, there was not only him in his room, but also another figure.
That was his father, Chen Zheqing, the head of the Chen family and the ruler of the Third War Zone of the Empire.
After receiving a secret message from his son, the empire's leader immediately left the Third War Zone and returned to the Chen family overnight.
At this moment, the Chen father and son were silently staring at the eerie dragon egg that was glowing with a scarlet light.
It was the very one that had been taken from the Blood Dragon Secret Realm.
Chen Beiyuan stood aside, saying nothing, just watching quietly.
Chen Zheqing stared intently at the strange dragon egg before him for a long time, his expression growing increasingly solemn. He spoke in an almost resolute tone:
"It really is the Blood Demon Dragon Emperor!"
