The woman retorted in a sarcastic tone like a cannon. Yi Yun took that in silently, making it seem like he had been dumbfounded by the woman’s words.
This finally allowed her to feel a sense of relief. However, Yi Yun’s status was after all lowly. To partake in such an exchange still made her feel like she had lowered her status and it was not worth it.
To her, this feeling was like being bitten by a bug. So what if she had trampled the bug? She had still been bitten by the bug.
“Matriarch.” The woman was afraid the Matriarch would hesitate on this matter, so she turned to the Matriarch and said, “The Shen Tu family clan’s Desolate Heaven technique has extraordinary heritage that has no reason to be doubted. It is indeed a level higher than our Lin family. If the Lin family allies with the Shen Tu family clan, then when Lin Xintong takes on a commanding role, our Lin family’s Desolate Heaven technique heritage would also probably upgrade a level.”
“The Desolate Heaven technique tea session organized by the Shen Tu family clan will be in two months time. At that time, the Shen Tu family clan should be able to prove their ability to cure Xintong’s terminated meridians!”
As the woman in palatial attire said, she glanced at Su Jie with a mocking look. “Elder Su, you must have already prepared for the Desolate Heaven technique tea session, right?”
The woman knew that Su Jie would definitely suffer a defeat at the tea session. Although his Desolate Heaven technique standard was extremely high, he would not be able to resist against the gurus of the Shen Tu family clan. No matter how strong Su Jie was, he would probably lose.
The woman was not on good terms with Su Jie, so seeing Su Jie suffer naturally made her delighted. Also, if the Shen Tu family clan proved their strength, then it would support her position. As no matter how she saw it, this marriage would only benefit the Lin family.
“You do not need to worry about my preparations. Why? You seem to look forward to the Lin family being trampled on?”
Since he did not have a good impression of her and had been targeted by her mean words, Su Jie naturally would not take it sitting down. He immediately attacked back verbally.
“Elder Su, you don’t need to imply that I’m helping others secretly. Of course I wish the Lin family to be in the limelight, but I would not blindly dream. Does it mean you will win just because I wish you will win?”
Seeing the woman about to quarrel with Su Jie, the Matriarch’s face sank and reprimanded the woman, “Quiet! Have some decency!”
Su Jie was the Lin family’s in-house guest, so he naturally had to be treated respectfully or he could easily just leave. The Matriarch would naturally reprimand the woman in palatial attire if she argued with Su Jie.
The woman stayed silent. She had said those words on a whim.
The Matriarch leaned on her dragon-head cane and stood up, “Elder Su, the original intention of the tea session is for the Shen Tu family clan to showcase their Desolate Heaven technique standard. However, they have prepared well in advance, and we did not have much time to prepare as well as our comparatively lower heritage, we might be suppressed.”
“Having said so, our Lin family should not lose too badly. I hope I can rely on Elder Su for this matter! You must uphold the Lin family’s reputation.”
The Matriarch’s voice was sincere as Su Jie nodded, “I will do my best. May the Matriarch be at ease!”
“Alright.” The Matriarch nodded and turned towards Lin Xintong, “Xintong, I will not force you. You should walk down your own path. You still have a long life ahead.”
“I have lived so long and have seen too many people and things. Having experienced so much, I only want to tell you that you are still young. Whatever you are thinking of now, and what you are insisting on now might be childish and ridiculous when you really grow up a few thousand years in the future.”
“What you hold deeply might not be what you want… You might rather die now, but eventually, you might accept it despite the humiliation. Maybe one day, you might even celebrate that you had given in… ”
After the Matriarch finished speaking, she used her cane and under the companionship of the group of girls, left.
