Doomsday group favorite: I will win with my three brothers

Chapter 288 The Profound Meaning of 288 Yuan Tong
Walking beside him was a middle-aged man who bore a striking resemblance to him. His expression was arrogant, and his gaze swept across the hall. Seeing the ring on Zhao Lexi's finger, he raised an eyebrow and said, "My son is the direct disciple of Master Yuantong, and should rightfully inherit..."

Zhao Lexi guessed the man's identity and frowned. Before the man could finish speaking, Zhu Jin said angrily, "This man is the head of the Lin family. He led people to force his way in, which is extremely disrespectful to our master's mourning hall." He was unable to move now, but he believed that none of the five of them could tolerate such disrespect from others in their master's mourning hall.

Zhao Lexi disappeared, and when she reappeared, a soft sword was already at the neck of the Lin family patriarch, the crimson blood forcing the middle-aged man to shut his mouth.

His eyes were filled with horror and fear.

He thought that since there had been no movement in the mourning hall for so long, it was probably a lose-lose situation inside. That's why he took a gamble and rushed in to take advantage of the situation. Even if it didn't work out, his son was their senior brother, so he could get out unscathed. He never expected that it would be a life-or-death situation right from the start!
Lin Hua shouted urgently, "Junior Sister, don't move! Show mercy! He's my father, my own son. For my sake, for my sake, I'll make him kowtow to Master, and we'll get down the mountain immediately!"

Zhao Lexi didn't go for the kill directly, only because of her senior brother's sake.

This person is bad, but the eldest brother was forced to come in, so it's not good to actually kill his father.

"Let go of my senior brother."

The two men holding Lin Hua hesitated for a moment, glanced at the Lin family patriarch, and finally let go.

Zhao Lexi also sheathed her soft sword.

In a short while, the Lin family head went through countless possibilities. The most shocking thing was Zhao Lexi’s newly revealed strength. When he looked at Zhu Jinxian lying on the ground doing nothing, he was even more shocked. Could it be that among Yuan Tong’s five personal disciples, the most powerful one was not the second brother, but this little girl?
Lin Hua rushed over and grabbed the Lin family patriarch's arm, preventing him from reacting: "Dad, let's go offer incense and kowtow to Master to admit our mistakes, and hurry down the mountain."

The Lin family patriarch, having lost face, wanted to make amends, so he put on a big smile and was about to speak to Zhao Lexi when Lin Hua suddenly pulled him away.

He secretly resented his son for being so naive, but he wasn't stupid either. He knew that the little girl had given Lin Hua the last bit of face he had left, and if he angered her, she wouldn't even care about Lin Hua's reputation. He didn't dare to think about the consequences.

At this moment, Gao Jue quietly approached Zhao Lexi and whispered, "The Lin family patriarch has more than a dozen children. Lin Hua is his only son from his first marriage. His second wife gave birth to one son and two daughters, and his mistresses gave him other children. His favorite is his son from his second marriage, named Lin Minghao, and he plans to pass the position of patriarch of the Lin family to him. He refuses to let Lin Hua stay at Jingshan Temple because he wants to use his status as his personal disciple to open a martial arts school and make money. This man has donated a lot of money to Jingshan Temple, so Master Yuantong was willing to give him some face when he was alive. Now he has barged in to take advantage of the situation and consolidate some of the Jingshan Temple's power."

Zhao Lexi watched the two of them burn incense and kowtow before walking back.

The Lin family patriarch, with a kind face, was about to say something when she interrupted, "Senior Brother, if your father treats you badly, come to the Beicang Base to find me."

The entire hall suddenly fell silent.

Everyone's ears perked up: Was she accusing the Lin family head of treating his eldest son badly? What kind of father treats his own son badly, unless there is more than one son in the family?

The Lin family patriarch blushed and hurriedly tried to cover up his mistake, saying, "What are you saying, young lady? How could I..."

“If your younger brothers misbehave, I’ll beat them up for you.”

Everyone: Oh, the younger brothers, there really is more than one.

“They are obedient, and we cannot disobey our elder brother,” the Lin family patriarch hurriedly said.

Zhao Lexi finally looked at him properly: "Uncle, you keep your word! I came from the Beicang base in just half a day. I can kill a couple of people and still make it back in time for dinner." "Yes, yes, I keep my word! It's getting late, we'll take our leave now!" The Lin family head didn't dare to object, afraid that Zhao Lexi would make some unreasonable demands, such as making Lin Hua the family head. He grabbed his eldest son and was about to leave, regretting that he had been so stupid as to get involved. Yuan Tong, that old bald monk, was a cunning and ruthless man. He must have arranged everything clearly after his death. How could he let him have a chance? He must be delusional.

More than thirty members of the Lin family left in a flash.

The remaining people were those brought by the second senior brother, those who came with Zhao Lexi, and disciples from Jingshan Temple. Zhao Lexi's move just now not only intimidated the Lin family but also made Zhu Jinxian's men hesitant to act rashly.

The three groups of people are clearly distinct.

Zhu Jinxian was in dire straits himself, so he didn't care what would happen to the people he brought. After all, they were borrowed from that old moral scoundrel and weren't on his side anyway.

Don't think he doesn't know; there are two Level 6 evolved humans mixed in there.

Xie Yuan walked up to the disciples and announced loudly, "Our eldest brother and third sister have voluntarily given up their inheritance of Jingshan Temple and have already left."

The disciples remained silent: "Our eldest brother's departure was so grand that it was hard not to see it."

"The second and fourth senior brothers also gave up inheriting Jingshan Temple."

The disciples were in an uproar. What was their master up to? He had even persuaded his own disciples to leave!
"However, the ring for the successor of Jingshan Temple was specifically given by the master to his junior sister, Zhao Lexi."

Everyone understood what their master meant.

Including Zhao Lexi.

The master said that he originally wanted Xie Yuan to be the abbot of Jingshan Temple, but he was afraid that his second senior brother would not be happy, so he chose to leave the ring to her and let her arrange where everyone went.

But now that her second senior brother's tendons have been severed and he is no longer a threat, could we follow Master's previous idea and let Xie Yuan become the abbot, so that Jingshan Temple would remain Jingshan Temple and the junior brothers would not have to face the difficult choice, and could stay and continue their peaceful life, which was isolated from the world.

She looked at her second senior brother, Zhu Jinxian, who smiled slightly at her, as if the pain in his hands and feet didn't exist. Zhao Lexi thought to herself, knowing her second senior brother's character, as long as he wasn't dead, he wouldn't give up the ring. She would leave Jingshan Temple, and he would return. Those who remained at Jingshan Temple were his targets. Even though his tendons and limbs were severed, even with broken limbs, an evolved human with healing abilities could heal them.

So this was Master's true intention? He didn't know if he could bring himself to harm his second senior brother, so he gave him two choices: either kill his second senior brother or inherit Jingshan Temple.

No, that's not right. Master wasn't sure if he could be ruthless, but he knew that his second senior brother could be ruthless. In the face of life and death, there would inevitably be a winner between him and his second senior brother, and they might even suffer heavy losses. So, from the very beginning, Master's idea was to give Jingshan Temple to Xie Yuan.

Still, that's not right. If Master never does anything he's not confident about, then the fact that he specifically sent me back means he's sure I can beat Second Senior Brother. He should have just said so, and I would have done exactly what he said, stabbing Second Senior Brother in the heart without leaving any future trouble, without a word of complaint. There's no need for Master to make things so complicated.

Zhao Lexi was a little confused and looked to Gao Jue for help.

Gao Jue whispered, "You'll see in a moment."
