The Imperial Club's Invitation
In Bai Yuze's eyes, asking his third uncle for a small favor—sending Qiong Baicang to the front lines to reclaim wasteland—was a family matter and a righteous act.
Lin Jiuxiao dared to send someone to the court to plead for the release of the person; this clearly shows he was trying to abuse his power for personal gain and had extremely malicious intentions.
Although it may seem like a double standard, that's just Bai Yuze's personality.
Chen Beiyuan did not say anything about this.
He knew very well that his brother-in-law was the type to side with relatives regardless of right or wrong.
If he, as the one being helped and the one who benefits, still complains, then he's just being silly.
In contrast, he was more interested in something else.
"Lin Xiao, this chosen one, has ultimately become entangled with the Lin family of Donghua."
"It seems that even though the gears of fate have been interfered with and made some mistakes, they still haven't stopped turning."
Chen Beiyuan reached out and stroked the strange dragon egg, his eyes filled with a deep, unsettling feeling. He wasn't too surprised by the outcome.
Three days ago, when Lin Xiao was invited away by Lin Jiuxiao, the third young master of the Lin family, he received the specific information.
In the original novel, Lin Xiao was able to destroy the Donghua Chen family in the later stages because a top-tier aristocratic family intervened.
That top-tier family is the Donghua Lin family.
Only the Lin family, another top-tier family, could deliver a fatal blow to the Chen family at the crucial moment.
There are two great mountains in the military of the Donghua Empire.
One is surnamed Chen, and the other is surnamed Lin.
The former controlled half of the empire's military power and wielded the largest gun.
The latter controls one-third of the empire's military power and wields the second-largest military force.
The relationship between the two can be described as that of the eldest and second eldest.
Since ancient times, every second-in-command has dreamed of overthrowing the eldest and becoming the leader himself.
The Lin family was no exception, but their dream had always been suppressed by the Chen family.
In the original novel, Lin Xiao got involved with Lin Jiuxiao, the third son of the Lin family, and eventually established a deep connection with the Lin family.
To bring down the Chen family, Lin Xiao first secretly colluded with the ferocious alien race on the border, betraying his country. Then, the Lin family stabbed him in the back. Finally, he managed to destroy the behemoth that was the Chen family...
Of course, in the original novel, Lin Xiao, as the protagonist, naturally belongs to the righteous side, and the Lin family also belongs to the righteous side. Together, they destroy the evil Chen family...
As for the destruction of the Chen family, the collapse of the entire border front, the fall of most of the northern territory of the Donghua Empire, and the deaths of hundreds of millions of imperial citizens, those are minor matters, small sacrifices that need to be made for justice, and they are nothing.
Sometimes, what's wrong with a few people dying for justice?
As for the fact that a certain divine doctor protagonist, after rising to power, turned around and attacked the Lin family, his righteous allies, uprooting them and covering up his own dark history, that's nothing special.
What goes around comes around.
"Lin Xiao, the Lin family, it seems there's still more to come."
Chen Beiyuan's eyes were deep and dark, and he paused in stroking the strange dragon egg.
A strange smile appeared on the face reflected in the pool of blood.
Since the two have become intertwined again due to the intervention of fate, let's just deal with them together.
He took the "Dragon Blood Grass" from the system space and put it directly into the blood pool.
The moment it came into contact with the blood pool, the dragon blood grass melted and merged with the entire blood pool.
In an instant, an even denser and more terrifying blood aura emanated from the blood pool, causing the entire pool to boil, the temperature to rise sharply, and crimson mist to rise.
The "strange dragon egg" floating in the blood pool suddenly emitted a pleasant emotional fluctuation, and the blood-red patterns covering the eggshell flashed, clearly indicating that it had received a considerable benefit.
Chen Beiyuan also took off his clothes, revealing his fair and strong physique, and stepped directly into the blood pool.
With the addition of dragon blood grass, the boiling blood pool continuously stimulated his body, strengthening his blood vessels, making him feel as comfortable as soaking in a volcanic hot spring.
Chen Beiyuan leaned against the edge of the pool, closed his eyes, rested his left hand on the eerie dragon egg, and held his phone in his right hand, chatting casually with Bai Yuze.
"By the way, brother-in-law, that canary you've gotten tired of has been begging for help everywhere these past few days, completely losing her previous aloof demeanor. However, no one dares to cross you. I heard she's lost a lot of weight recently. Should I secretly lend a hand? Don't worry, as your brother, I will never tell my sister about this."
Bai Yuze's cheeky voice came from the other end of the phone.
Just by listening to his cheeky tone, you can imagine his winking and smirking.
Clearly, Bai Yuze still didn't believe that Chen Beiyuan had truly let go of Leng Ruobing completely.
After all, the original owner's previous display of infatuation was still quite impressive.
However, he really deserves credit for helping his brother-in-law hide a woman from his older sister.
"No need, I have my own plans."
Chen Beiyuan slowly opened his eyes, pondered for a moment, then shook his head and refused.
He had always been paying attention to Leng Ruobing, the female lead with a knack for good fortune.
After all, there's still a considerable amount of profit that can be extracted from this woman.
Humans are not immune to death.
But at least all the profits must be squeezed out before one can die.
After a brief chat, Chen Beiyuan hung up the phone and began to focus on absorbing the energy of the blood pool to strengthen his physical body.
Just then, a knock on the door interrupted his absorption.
Chen Beiyuan frowned slightly, his tightly closed eyelids opening a crack as he spoke:
"What's up?"
"Young Master Chen, the Third Young Master of the Lin family has sent you an invitation to a banquet at the Empire Club. Would you like to accept it?"
The old butler stood respectfully outside the door, holding a dark gold invitation card in his hands.
Lin Jiuxiao?
interesting!
It seems some people are starting to get restless.
A glint of malice flashed in Chen Beiyuan's lowered eyes, as if he had already guessed something, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips:
"Take it."
...
Kyoto nightclub, the Supreme Emperor Box.
Bang!
Everything on the table was overturned and thrown to the ground.
Lin Jiuxiao's eyes blazed with fury, his handsome face contorted with malice: "Bai Yuze, you're something else, setting me up behind my back."
When he recruited Lin Xiao, he said he could help get Lin Xiao's godfather out of trouble.
On one hand, he intended to make Lin Xiao grateful, and on the other hand, he wanted to demonstrate his strength.
As it turned out, what happened next was a blatant slap in the face.
His men, whom he sent to the court, were thrown directly into the court's water dungeon.
They even made him go pick it up in person, otherwise they wouldn't release him.
What's the difference between this and slapping him across the face?
Even if Lin Jiuxiao is stupid, he knows that someone is up to no good behind his back.
All of the Chen family's power lies with the military; it's definitely not the Chen family pulling the strings behind the scenes.
The current head of the court is a member of the Bai family.
The Bai family is related to the Chen family by marriage.
Bai Yuze is Chen Beiyuan's brother-in-law, and the two get along quite well.
Lin Jiuxiao immediately identified Bai Yuze as the suspect.
Bai Yuze was most likely acting on behalf of his brother-in-law Chen Beiyuan, deliberately targeting his people.
Lin Xiao sat on the sofa, watching the scene before him without saying a word, his brows furrowed and his face grim. He clearly knew that his godfather had been assigned to the front lines to reclaim wasteland.
Going to the front lines to reclaim wasteland is basically a death sentence!
Just then, one of his men suddenly entered the room and whispered a few words to Lin Jiuxiao.
The anger on Lin Jiuxiao's face gradually dissipated, as if he had regained his previous composure. He burst into laughter and looked at Lin Xiao, who was silent in the corner:
"Haha, Brother Lin, Chen Beiyuan has already accepted my invitation. When the time comes, I will talk to him personally and ask him to release the person. Don't worry, no matter how arrogant he is, he will have to give the Lin family some face."
In his view, the fact that Chen Beiyuan accepted his invitation meant that Chen Beiyuan did not want things to get too tense with the Lin family.
...
The verification period and debut have begun. I hope you all will give me your support. Thank you.
