Just as the registration was about to end, something unexpected happened.
The gazes of everyone in the clan gathered. A young man entered the hall amidst the wind and snow.
When that familiar voice rang out, Feng Lin’s parents wore joyful expressions.
“Elder brother!” Both Feng Cheng and Feng Xin were about to shout out when their mouths were covered by the hands of their parents, whose countenance had changed drastically. The two kids could only let out muffling sounds.
The clan’s rules were not to be violated.
If the clan’s disciplinary team and the Head Butler were to set their eyes on them for shouting in such a serious and solemn event for the clan, they might be pinned with the crime of violating the clan’s rules. Their family had a weak standing in the clan and wouldn’t be able to handle the consequences.
They looked at Feng Lin worriedly. Would the Head Butler be able to let Feng Lin off the hook when he hadn’t attended the ceremony to pay respects to the ancestors?
Many gazes were gathered onto Feng Lin. They were filled with surprise and perplexity.
The reason was very simple.
Feng Lin had been an unknown figure previously, and everyone didn’t know of him. They only felt that he was daring.
( B oxnovel.c om ) From the looks of it, it seemed that Feng Lin had just returned. To be absent for the most important annual event in the clan—a day to pay respects to the ancestors—was a great crime in violation of the clan’s rules. The violators would be judged for treating the ancestors with great discourtesy.
Yet, to think that he hadn’t gone off into hiding to stay out of trouble but had instead returned in such a sensitive period, he must be nuts, even wanting to participate in the clan’s ranking competition.
Given the Head Butler’s temperament, he would not let this guy off!
Their gazes when looking at Feng Lin was now filled with ridicule and pity. It was as if they could see Feng Lin being punished by the clan’s rules, ending up in an extremely pitiful state.
As the head of the clan, the clan leader would naturally not care about such trivial matters. He would just remain seated on the high platform and watched with a cold expression. His expression didn’t seem good.
Next to him, a young man with a demonically handsome appearance sat on his chair lazily. Although he was a man, he was breathtakingly beautiful.
“Hmmm?” His gaze narrowed as he threw a casual glance toward Feng Lin. At the next moment, he let out a soft questioning sound and sat up, assessing Feng Lin with a very serious expression.
“Young Master Feng! What’s the matter?” The clan leader who was next to him asked.
The bewitching man’s gaze became lazy once again as if the wariness from earlier were just an illusion. He smiled slightly and replied, “It’s nothing. I just came across something very interesting!”
He leaned back in his chair once again, sitting sluggishly.
He acted very rudely before the clan leader, yet the people around him acted as if they hadn’t seen anything and that it didn’t concern them at all.
The clan leader himself didn’t seem to mind either.
After all, in terms of status, the young man’s was higher than his.
Although he was older, he couldn’t interfere with the young man!
Earlier on, this Young Master Feng had noticed something. But since he didn’t say anything, the clan leader couldn’t ask too much either.
The clan leader turned his gaze onto Feng Lin for the first time, observing him carefully, starting to assess this clansman who was unfamiliar to him.
However, Feng Lin himself appeared calm and indifferent to everyone’s gazes. He walked straight up to the clan’s Elder who was hosting the clan’s ranking competition and said, “Feng Clan’s clansman, Feng Lin! Registering to take part in the clan’s ranking competition!”
The Elder was stunned for a moment, feeling a calm and confident aura coming from this young man. It left a deep impression on him.
He instinctively wanted to nod.
“Hold on! He can’t take part in the clan’s ranking competition!” At this moment, a deep bellow rang out. The Head Butler, with his silver hair and cold expression, had led the fierce-looking clan’s disciplinary team and surrounded the place.
The Elder’s hand trembled and didn’t record Feng Lin’s name.
“This is getting interesting! I knew that the Head Butler will not let him off!”
“It’s no joke to be absent for the ancestors worshipping ceremony!”
( B oxnovel.c om ) “This kid is going to be in trouble! The Head Butler will definitely give him a severe punishment!”
…
A commotion broke out amongst the Feng Clan’s clansmen.
The bewitching young man seated next to the clan leader also looked at this scene in great ridicule.
Feng Lin was it?
What are you going to do next?
“Why?” Faced with the Head Butler’s obstruction, Feng Lin didn’t show any emotions. Being a cultivator, he had a sense of confidence within him.
“You’re asking why? Ancestral worship is the most important thing in the clan and yet, as a member of the clan, you were absent. This is a great crime, showing disrespect to the ancestors. According to the clan’s rules, you must be confined for a month!” Seeing that Feng Lin dared to challenge him, the Head Butler’s gaze turned sharp as he chided fiercely.
As the person enforcing the clan’s rules, the Head Butler detested such people who didn’t abide by the rules the most.
In his eyes, Feng Lin had already completely become a stubborn troublemaker and should be severely punished.
Otherwise, if everyone were to be like Feng Lin, what would become of the clan’s rules?
Since they were in public, he wouldn’t say much to Feng Lin, dropping down to Feng Lin’s level.
He frowned and an invisible pressure came surging over. It instilled fear in other people’s hearts, causing them to be unable to summon the will to resist.
Many waves of invisible pressure condensed together as if they were material, like a mountain pressing down, wanting to force Feng Lin to submit.
“Mental Gene?” Feng Lin’s countenance changed after sensing this mental pressure.
No wonder this Head Butler had a dignified disposition, causing others to feel fear toward him and not dare to get close.
It turned out to be that he had awakened the Mental Gene and could suppress other people’s mind.
After seeing through this unsightly scheme, there were no waves on Feng Lin’s face at all.
Before Feng Lin’s Mental Gene that had been strengthened to the maximum point, the Head Butler’s mental gene was like a light breeze that was completely ineffective. It was practically a joke.
Feng Lin smiled. “Ancestral worship is merely a ritual to pay respects to the ancestors. I think that as a descendant, the best way to pay respect to the ancestors is to keep on getting stronger and revive our ancestors’ glory. I’ve merely entered training in seclusion over these few days and didn’t notice the time. How can I be said to be disrespectful to the ancestors, let alone violating the clan’s rules?”
To think that my mental pressure is ineffective!
The Head Butler assessed Feng Lin in surprise as if this was the first time he was seeing him.
It had merely been slightly over three weeks since they had last met, yet the Head Butler felt that this kid had gone through some kind of world-changing transformation, causing him to feel uneasy.
However, with so many eyes on them and with the kid rebutting him time and time again, how could he just let his reputation as the Head Butler be tarnished?
“Training in seclusion?! You aren’t even an Interstellar cultivator and your vitality hasn’t even reached 3 points. What’s the point of putting hard work into your training? How dare you resort to sophistry!” The Head Butler snorted coldly, still having a biased view toward Feng Lin. “Go! Seize him! Shut him up in the imprisonment room!” The Head Butler waved his hand, and the people from the disciplinary team pounced toward Feng Lin.
The Head Butler couldn’t be bothered to say much to Feng Lin. Before all the clansmen, he needed to make an example out of Feng Lin, letting them know what the outcome would be if they were to violate the clan’s rules.
Feng Lin threw him a glance and said indifferently, “I shall see who dares to step forward.”
Silver light flashed on his forehead, and a series of invisible waves instantly gushed out.
The members of the clan’s disciplinary team wore dazed expressions as if they had been stupefied and rendered unable to move.
They continued to wear hideous expressions, with only their eyes glancing around, filled with terror and unease.
Just one glance had put the entire scene into silence.
Just as the registration was about to end, something unexpected happened.
