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

Chapter 31 Start a small stove
Lin Mang sneered: "Your cowardly grandson who was eliminated in the first round is worth you scheming against my precious daughter in the second round of the draw?!"

Although he was filled with rage, the captured disciple and the old scoundrel held on tightly and refused to let go, making it impossible to drag the Seventh Elder and Lin Yuan into the mess.

But we absolutely cannot let this old watermelon get away with it.

Lin Mang paused briefly before speaking coldly, "Disciple Lin Fang damaged equipment on the day of the competition, violating clan rules, and was expelled from the Lin family. His family members were stripped of their Lin surname and made into slaves. Steward Chen, with his malicious intentions, plotted against the young master, stripped him of his spiritual roots and exiled him to the mortal realm, and his family members were also expelled from the Lin family."

The punishment caused everyone's expression to change drastically.

Even the Third Elder, who had always kept to himself and remained aloof, couldn't help but glance at Lin Mang, but chose to remain silent when he saw the anger in Lin Mang's eyes.

Before the Seventh Elder could speak, Lin Mang met his gaze and said fiercely, "I, Lin Mang, have three children, but only this one daughter. Anyone who dares to touch my daughter, I will fight them to the death. Even if I lose my position as the head of the Lin family, I will not let the bastard who bullied my daughter get away with it."

The old rogue's tone startled the Seventh Elder into instantly shutting his mouth.

He could only console himself that they were just two servants anyway, so the loss was no big deal.

Watching this scene, Lin Zhao was moved by his father's defense, but also realized that after the Seventh Elder's incident, he would probably lose the support of the people. His father seemed rude, but in fact, he had his own plans.

"I'll leave the rest to Elder Su." Lin Mang cupped his hands to Lin Su, effectively revoking the Elders' Council's authority over the competition.

But the elders dared not say anything.

Lin Su was overjoyed upon hearing this. Previously, he had only been in charge of registration, which was vastly different from overseeing all matters. If he did well in the latter, his future status in the Lin family would be second only to the elders. Before, people only respectfully addressed him as Elder Su, but in the future, they could truly call him Elder Su. This was the pinnacle that a member of the Lin family without profound cultivation could reach.

He quickly thanked him, saying, "Thank you, patriarch. It is what I should do."

With Lin Zhu in charge, the other members of the elders and Lin Mang felt much more at ease.

Only the Seventh Elder had a livid face and glared at Lin Yuan with a look of disappointment.

It's fair to say that even if the grandfather and grandson hadn't been dragged into this mess, they would have suffered heavy losses.

Lin Yuan lowered his head and slunk away with the Seventh Elder.

On the way back with Lin Zhao, Lin Mang was in a much better mood. He said to Lin Zhao, "Of the seven elders, he spends all his time studying these things and planting people at all levels. Before, we couldn't find an opportunity to make trouble. This time, he's managed things well, which will allow me to regain a lot of power."

Lin Zhao understood that Lin Mang was trying to comfort him, but couldn't help but worry, "Isn't it bad that Father and the Seventh Elder are going against each other like this?"

The Lin family elders and the family head have equal rights. Lin Mang's confrontational attitude towards the Seventh Elder will greatly affect the Lin family elders' opinion of him.

"What's wrong with that? I've had my eye on that old bastard for a long time! If it weren't for his shamelessness this time, I would have dragged him and his grandson down with me to avenge you!" Lin Mang patted Lin Zhao on the shoulder.

“You are my only daughter in this life. The fact that your destiny was taken away is something that your father and your mother have always felt guilty about. After that, your mother and I swore that our precious daughter would never suffer any more injustice.”

Lin Zhao's eyes inexplicably welled up with tears after experiencing too many grievances at Cloud Peak in both her past lives.

Suppressing the stinging in her eyes, Lin Zhao said, "This time, I will definitely win the championship and not disappoint my father."

Lin Mang chuckled: "That's what my father thinks too. That Seventh Elder is always showing off because his grandson is a Foundation Establishment Perfection expert at nineteen. Hehe, let him see that my daughter, Lin Mang, at sixteen, can beat his precious grandson to a pulp!"

As Lin Mang finished speaking, Yao Yun's voice suddenly rang out, "Who did you beat so badly that they wet themselves? You old fool, you're teaching Zhao Zhao bad habits again. Rude!" Lin Mang turned his head and was immediately grabbed by the ear by his wife. He quickly begged for mercy, "Madam, you beat me so badly that I wet myself. Be gentle, be gentle. Zhao Zhao is still here. Give me some face."

Yao Yun snorted, released him, looked at Lin Zhao, and softened her voice: "I've heard about what happened today. Your father is so spineless, letting those two shameless guys go like that. But I'm thinking that the Seventh Elder's spending lately has been a bit strange, so I'll have to report it to the elders and the family to investigate it thoroughly."

Yao Yun is in charge of the Lin family's finances. She can usually turn a blind eye to elders' overspending, but if the Seventh Elder dares to touch her precious daughter, she will not let it go.

Among those in high positions, whose hands and feet are truly clean? This question is neither too big nor too small; it all depends on how things are handled.

Before her marriage, Yao Yun was the eldest princess of the Yonghui Empire, one of the four great empires. She had done hundreds or even thousands of such things, so she naturally knew how to cripple the Seventh Elder.

Lin Mang quickly flattered her, "Your wife is truly remarkable; I am ashamed of my own in comparison."

Lin Zhao couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of Lin Mang's fawning manner, but quickly suppressed a laugh after being glared at by Lin Mang.

Yao Yun stomped on Lin Mang's foot: "You dare glare at Zhao Zhao? Are you asking for a beating?"

Lin Mang said with a wry smile, "My eyes are twitching, they're twitching."

Yao Yun said, "Let's go, the food is ready, let's eat first."

Lin Zhao caught up with her parents, watched their backs as they walked away, touched her nose, and couldn't help but feel an urge to cry.

She hadn't felt this kind of unconditional protection and pampering when faced with someone who was being schemed against.

Speaking of which, that plot that controlled her was truly outrageous, preventing her from ever seeing her parents again until her death. I wonder how heartbroken her parents must have been to learn of her passing.

During the meal, Yao Yun said, "Seventh Elder is not one to let things go easily. Now that your father has eliminated others, he will definitely retaliate. He will find it difficult to take action against your father and me, and he may even have Lin Yuan target you in the competition."

As she spoke, Yao Yun also expressed some concern. Although she was astonished to learn that her daughter had progressed from the mid-Foundation Establishment stage to the Great Perfection stage in just one month, she was still quite worried.

But Lin Zhao had only just entered the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, so how could he be a match for Lin Yuan, who had only been in the twelfth level of Foundation Establishment for a year?

"Given the Seventh Elder's ruthless nature, he'll probably give Lin Yuan some tricks up his sleeve." Lin Mang stroked his stubble, then looked at Lin Zhao: "I have a high-grade spiritual weapon and some mid-grade defensive spiritual weapons here. Would you like Zhao Zhao to take them?"

Yao Yun also said, "I have some high-grade pills that I have refined over the years."

Besides being the wife of the head of the family, Yao Yun was able to manage the finances of the Lin family because she was also a fifth-grade alchemist. The chief alchemist in the family was also a fifth-grade alchemist, so everyone else had to give her some respect.

Seeing her parents' eagerness to give her special treatment, Lin Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Perhaps one day we will really have to trouble our parents for help, but Lin Yuan is not worthy of making our parents worry about Zhao Zhao."

With her current foundation and the spiritual skills she possesses, although she is slightly inferior in terms of spiritual energy grade, she is still confident that she can be invincible in the Foundation Establishment stage.
