After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 170 Han Lan
Tianhuang Continent, South China Sea Region, Lin Family.

After learning about Jin Ya's numerous misdeeds, Lin Zhao grabbed her by the ear and apologized to the Lin family disciples she had harassed.

"I just touched them, I didn't do anything to them." After apologizing, Jin Ya was still unconvinced.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao glared at her, and she finally calmed down, then cautiously peered around the Lin family's residence.

Although he still looked at the Lin family disciples with a hint of ulterior motive, he had restrained himself considerably.

The elders of the Lin family did not know the girl's origins, but since Lin Zhao had brought her back, they did not want to offend her, so they quickly arranged accommodation for her.

"I wonder who this is?"

After the Lin family servants took Jin Ya to rest, the Lin family elder asked tentatively.

In recent years, Lin Zhao has rarely brought people home. However, before joining Yunding Peak, Lin Zhao had rescued many orphans on the battlefield and sent them to the Lin family, so they were not too surprised.

However, Jin Ya's appearance and temperament don't seem to be something a small family could produce, and the fact that she can flirt with the younger generation of the Lin family as if their defenses are nothing shows that this girl's strength and talent are quite terrifying.

Lin Zhao said, "The senior sister of the strongest force on the Golden Crow Continent."

Since neither the Four-Party Alliance nor the Heavenly Phoenix Continent had both publicly promoted Jin Ya's identity after the Continental Grand Competition, Lin Zhao naturally wouldn't reveal it either.

A divine beast cub comparable to a celestial phoenix is ​​enough to cause bloodshed across the continent.

"From the Golden Crow Continent?" The elder of the Lin family's expression turned a little serious. Thinking that Lin Zhao had just dared to pull this person's ear, he couldn't help but give Lin Zhao a thumbs up.

As expected of the head of the family, he is extraordinary even at a young age.

Surrounded by the admiring gazes of several elders, Lin Zhao explained helplessly, "This girl is just a child at heart, don't worry about her too much."

As she spoke, she looked at the mountain of Lin family official documents piled up in front of her and took a deep breath: "What is this?"

The elders kept their eyes downcast, but the eldest elder explained, "These are matters that the patriarch needs to review over this period of time..."

"You can handle this as you see fit." Lin Zhao picked up a book and flipped through it. "The elders are more experienced than me, so I'll leave these matters to you. I won't be staying for too long this time, but I still want to try to study alchemy within the family."

The Second Elder exclaimed in surprise, "The Patriarch has chosen to supplement his cultivation with alchemy? Then we'll go and invite Elder Han here immediately."

Old Han is the only fifth-grade alchemist in the Lin family. After Yao Yun was captured, Old Han, as the only fifth-grade alchemist in the Lin family, rose in status.

Lin Zhao put down the housework he had been flipping through, threw it on the table, and instructed the Fourth Elder to take it away for the Elders' Council to handle. Then he asked the Second Elder.

"Uncle, given your tone, has something happened to Elder Han?"

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder subconsciously pursed his lips: "What could possibly happen to him?"

They've been bullying others because they've lost Yao Yun and their family has no other fifth-grade alchemists.

Han Lan had already shown little respect even to the family head, let alone now that Yao Yun had been arrested, Lin Mang was in seclusion, and Lin Zhao, the successor to the position of family head, was rarely home. These elders were on equal footing with Han Lan; even if the elders united to punish him, they couldn't find anyone authorized to do so.

With all these factors combined, Han Lan has become increasingly arrogant and rampant in the Lin family. Now, it can be said that apart from the Lin family patriarch, no one else in the Lin family is even worthy of his attention.

This really made the Lin family elders quite angry. However, Han Lan's alchemy skills were indeed what the rapidly developing Lin family needed, and for the sake of the Lin family, these elders really didn't dare to do anything to him.

This pout made Lin Zhao's lips curl into a smile, and he raised an eyebrow, saying, "It seems Elder Han is doing quite well?"

The First Elder sighed: "Patriarch, we won't hide it from you. The Lin family is doing quite well now. However, the alchemy hall is now entirely controlled by Han Lan. Even we Lin family elders have to be mindful of his feelings when we need to get pills from the alchemy hall."

Lin Zhao's smile deepened: "Take me to see it."

She went to great lengths to gain a reputation at the South China Sea Academy and the Mainland University, not only for her own protection, but also largely to elevate the Lin family's status and to provide her parents and brothers with a stable home.

Now, Han Lan is actually relying on his fifth-grade alchemy skills to take the Lin family's allowance and act arrogantly in the Lin family, which has already crossed Lin Zhao's bottom line.

Sensing a fleeting chill from the girl, the First Elder followed behind her with a startled expression and advised, "Patriarch, although Han Lan is certainly hateful, he has after all devoted many years to the Lin family."

Lin Zhao turned his head, composed himself, and smiled, "Let Master Han choose for himself. If he doesn't know what's good for him, the Lin family can easily hire a fifth-grade alchemist these days."

The Third Elder, who was leading the way, clapped his hands in strong agreement: "With the family's current financial resources, we can hire not only fifth-grade alchemists, but even sixth-grade alchemists!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "The Lin family has been focused on developing itself recently and has not been expanding its social circles. Now that we have the foundation and resources of a noble family, we should step out of our previous social circles. Tomorrow, I will host a banquet in my name to invite the people from the major noble families and the three venerables of the four holy lands to the Lin family."

Before returning to the Lin family, Lin Zhao hadn't thought of these things. Now that she's back, she realizes that simply increasing capital and resources isn't enough to stabilize the Lin family back among the prominent families.

The Lin family's social circle and prestige on the mainland must be restored to their former heights.

Upon hearing this, the elders of the Lin family all nodded in approval.

Although Lin Zhao is only at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, she is well-known throughout the entire Tianhuang Continent.

Furthermore, now that South China Sea Academy is practically siding with the Lin family, who would dare to disrespect South China Sea Academy?
Once social circles return to what they were before, the flow of resources in all aspects will be much easier.

These old guys witnessed the Lin family's peak, so their social circles were already quite extensive. However, the younger generation of the Lin family grew up during the family's low point, and their vision can no longer keep up with the Lin family's current pace of development. It's time for them to expand and elevate their social circles.

When the topic of hiring a new alchemist came up, the Second Elder said, "Speaking of which, if the patriarch makes the decision, I do know a sixth-grade alchemist who could be invited to join the Lin family."

The other elders all turned to look at them: "Why didn't you mention this before?"

The Second Elder said, "If I said so, would we old folks dare to make the decision?"

The elders fell silent; of course, they dared not.

Ultimately, Han Lan's ability to act so arrogantly is also due to their forbearance.

After all, Han Lan had been with the Lin family for many years and had never left even when the Lin family was at its lowest point. The elders didn't have the courage to ask him to step down.

But Lin Zhao has it.

The Lin family had had enough of being humiliated over the years. Han Lan did not betray the Lin family during his low point, and the Lin family did not mistreat him either, giving him sufficient status and resources to support him.

Just because the Lin family may value their relationship doesn't mean that once his own strength falls behind the Lin family's development, he can rely on that relationship to act arrogantly and domineeringly.

Reflecting: What did I do? The rating is dropping like crazy... I shouldn't have opened the rating on QReader QAQ. I'll wait until I finish reading it before checking it.
