Lu Ci was about to scold Lin Chen for being impolite.
Hearing this, he silently swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
Mu You snorted coldly, "Stop pretending. If you respected your elders, you wouldn't have wiped out the entire Wang family, right?"
Lin Chen narrowed his eyes:
"Elder Mu, you are mistaken. I exterminated the entire Wang family because they deserved to be exterminated!"
"As for whether I respect my elders or not, that depends on whether that person is worthy of respect!"
"Those who are worthy, I will naturally respect; those who are not worthy, well..."
Lin Chen didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present understood.
"Arrogance (371! 7)"
Mu You slammed his hand on the table and stood up, angrily saying:
"Kid, you should know that we're here today to discuss how to deal with you."
"Don't think that just because you wiped out the Wang family you're entitled to be on equal footing with us!"
Mu You's words were anything but polite.
The others watched Lin Chen with great interest, wondering how he planned to handle the situation.
Lin Chen sneered, "Oh my, you scared me to death! Whether I'm qualified or not isn't up to you, it's up to me!"
These words were quite impolite and extremely arrogant.
"Old Mu, don't be angry!" Lu Jin quickly tried to smooth things over.
"That's just Lin Chen's personality. He speaks bluntly, but his words, though rough, are always true!"
Lu Jin's words clearly sided with Lin Chen.
It almost made Mu You furious.
I wonder what kind of bewitching tricks this kid used to get the Celestial Master and Lu Jin to help him so much?
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Feng Zhenghao took the initiative to speak:
"Lin Chen, the main reason we called you here today is to understand your grievances with the Wang family."
Chapter 162 The Situation Takes a Dramatic Turn; I Want to Take Wang Ai's Seat
Lin Chen nodded:
"Actually, I have no grudges with the Wang family. It's just that the Wang family covets my abilities and has repeatedly sent people to hunt me down."
“I originally thought Wang Ai was a reasonable person, so when he sent people to visit him this time, I went to the Wang family with them.”
"Who knew they would take advantage of the fact that the Wang family was their stronghold and try to kill me without saying a word? I had no choice but to defend myself!"
The old Celestial Master nodded slightly.
"You mean you wiped out the entire Wang family mainly because they wanted to kill you, and you had no choice but to retaliate?"
Lin Chen smiled and nodded: "The old Celestial Master is extremely perceptive."
No one with a brain would believe his perfunctory explanation.
But they couldn't help but believe it.
Apart from Lü Ci and Mu You, the attitudes of everyone else were very clear: they were on Lin Chen's side.
In their words, the Wang family had committed too many evil deeds.
Lin Chen destroyed the Wang family only to protect himself and to punish evildoers. He was not guilty; on the contrary, he was meritorious.
Heaven is smiling down on everyone.
"Now that the matter has been investigated and it has been determined that Lin Chen did not commit intentional homicide, what are everyone's final plans for handling this matter?"
Mu You's forehead veins bulged, and he clenched his teeth.
His eyes practically blazed with fury when he saw Lin Chen.
"Since nobody wants to kill him, then we have to cripple him!"
"Even if this kid had no choice, he shouldn't have been so ruthless as to wipe out the entire Wang family!"
Lü Ci also spoke up bitterly:
"I support Elder Mu's decision. Everyone says that a murderer should pay with his life, but since there's a reason for it, then let's just cripple him!"
Lin Chen sneered: "If you two want to cripple me, you'd better have the ability."
Lü Ci slammed his hand on the table and stood up:
"Kid, I advise you not to be so arrogant!"
Seeing the three about to fight, Lu Jin quickly stepped in to smooth things over:
"When the Ten Elders convene a meeting, the minority always submits to the majority. So, raise your hand if you support Fei Linchen."
Mu You and Lü Ci's attitudes are already very clear.
Without any hesitation, he immediately raised his hand.
As for the others, they can choose not to support it.
Alternatively, one could choose to remain indifferent and mind one's own business.
You can't offend either side.
Lu Jin waited a while, then chuckled.
"Since only two people want to cripple Lin Chen, then this decision is invalid."
Lu Jin turned to look at the old Celestial Master:
The attitudes of everyone present are clear; now it's up to you to announce the final result!
The old Taoist priest nodded slightly:
"Based on everyone's opinions, the final decision regarding Lin Chen is that this will not be repeated."
"Of course... there can't be no punishment. Since you are an employee of Nadutong Company, let Zhao Fangxu be in charge of the punishment!"
This punishment infuriated Mu You and Lü Ci, but they couldn't refute it.
Is "this will not be repeated" considered a punishment?
Should Zhao Fangxu be handed over for punishment?
This is even more absurd!
Zhao Fangxu's attitude was very clear during the video conference.
Lin Chen, an employee of their company, not only did not make any mistakes, but actually made contributions.
Let him punish him?
Are they going to give Lin Chen a bonus as punishment?
The others heard the final punishment the Celestial Master gave to Lin Chen.
The corners of his mouth twitched.
It seems this old master has an extraordinary fondness for Lin Chen!
The old Celestial Master's aged eyes slowly swept over the crowd.
After finding that no one objected, he continued: Three
"Besides discussing the Wang family massacre, there's another matter at today's meeting."
"I'm sure everyone knows what's going on; it's about the vacancy of one of the Ten Elders."
"The Ten Elders hold a significant responsibility in the world of supernatural beings, and their absence cannot be tolerated indefinitely."
"Wang Ai has been gone for some time now. Does anyone have a suitable replacement in mind?"
As soon as those words were spoken, nine...
Feng Zhenghao and Lu Jin both looked at Lin Chen, who was standing to the side.
Although this young man is inexperienced and lacks experience, he is quite capable and intelligent.
I feel she could replace Wang Ai. (Nine)
However, others, especially Lü Ci and Mu You, certainly disagreed.
The people present started chattering amongst themselves.
Everyone was highly recommending people from their own side.
But it was quickly rejected by others.
An hour passed, and no suitable candidate had been recommended.
Lin Chen was getting impatient.
He walked straight to Wang Ai's seat and sat down.
"Since no one has a suitable candidate, how about I take his place?"
The conference room fell silent.
It was eerily quiet.
A glint of excitement flashed in Feng Zhenghao's eyes. Not bad!
Lin Chen and Sha Yan have a good relationship; Lin Chen is practically a member of the Feng family.
If he were to take this position, his status among the Ten Elders would be even more secure.
For the Tianxia Society and the Feng family, this is entirely beneficial.
A glint of light also flashed in Lu Jin's eyes.
She used her own exquisite feelings for Lin Chen.
And the connection between him and the fact that he had given the Tongtian Talisman to him.
Lin Chen took this seat.
For the Lu family, there are only benefits and no drawbacks.
The old master stroked his beard, a look of approval in his eyes.
Young people should be bold and adventurous.
He felt that Lin Chen was exceptionally capable and acted with composure.
His thinking is far superior to that of these old guys.
He is perfectly capable of being one of the Ten Elders.
Guangshihua and Naruhu were initially startled.
Then they both laughed.
This young man is wild enough; they like him.
Mu You's eyes widened when he heard Lin Chen's words.
I think this kid has gone crazy!
How could someone as young as him, who is not even an adult yet, possibly want to sit in the position of one of the Ten Elders?
Which of these ten elders isn't old and of high seniority?
How dare you say such a thing?
When Lü Ci heard Lin Chen's suggestion, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
He just killed Wang Ai, and now he wants to take his place?
Did you kill him to vie for this position?
The more Lü Ci thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Lin Chen smiled slightly as he looked at the surprised, admiring, and gratified gazes of the crowd.
"Since no one objects, I'll take that as everyone agrees?"
