The Matriarch was in charge of the internal affairs of the Lin family, so her words were final. She was not negotiating with the other Elders in the family, but informing them.
Immediately, the Elders present had all sorts of different expressions.
Many of them had a more suitable person in mind for the spot. Everyone wanted to advocate their direct descendants, but with Yi Yun taking one of the spots, it undoubtedly left one spot less for the rest.
Everyone knew that Yi Yun had made a great meritorious service for the family at the Relic Trial, so giving him one of the spots as an award was reasonable.
The point was that these people felt that it was a waste to give the spot to Yi Yun.
“Matriarch!” Lin Fenggu could not resist, “I know that Yi Yun managed to prevent a disaster for our Lin family at the Relic Trial, but I will not agree that the opportunity of entering the Great Empress mystic realm is thanks to Yi Yun!”
“The Lin family was the one who captured Shen Tu Nantian and the Thousand Hand Granny. The people who negotiated with the Shen Tu family clan was also our Lin family! Even if Yi Yun managed to see through Shen Tu Nantian’s malicious schemes as a junior, what could he have done with his strength? If not for our Lin family’s strength, he would already have been killed by the Shen Tu family clan!”
“Only with power do you have the capital to be unyielding. It is our Lin family obtaining the location of the Great Empress mystic realm at the cost of offending the Shen Tu family clan. This has nothing to do with Yi Yun!”
Lin Fenggu’s words were agitated, but the reasoning within them were agreed upon by the other Elders of the Lin family.
However, the Matriarch’s expression turned cold upon hearing this. She only looked at Lin Fenggu with a cold stare.
Those Elders who were familiar with the Matriarch’s personality knew that by giving off that gaze, it meant that she was extremely displeased with Lin Fenggu!
Lin Fenggu’s voice cut off, no longer daring to make a sound.
Against the Matriarch, a figure who had helmed the Lin family for so many years, she was extremely afraid.
“If the Lin family only has people like you, treating enemies as family, backstabbing talented people, and only trying to swallow any interests you see into your own pockets, then the Lin family would probably not be that far off from destruction.”
“Impotence, jealousy, greed, selfishness, unable to distinguish between right and wrong, short-sighted. What use is there for the family to keep a person like you?”
When the Matriarch said this, it was like having a sharp knife stabbing into Lin Fenggu’s heart.
