Chapter 1074 - 1141: Twin Roses of Ice and Blood
"Does that mean this Lin Shan holds a high position in the Lin Family?" Lin Hai asked in a lowered voice.Xue Meigui nodded: "Indeed, very high. He is the most promising young figure of the second direct lineage and one of the candidates to inherit the position of Family Head in the future."
Lin Hai suddenly understood. No wonder the other party targeted Xue Meigui, clearly to strike indirectly.
Imagine, if the other party successfully provokes Xue Meigui, then uses the so-called identity of the Family Head to force Xue Meigui to bow down.
By then, in the future competition, it would also indirectly weaken the strength on Demon Young Master's side.
"The names of the Lin Family are rather peculiar, aren't they? They don't have any inherent sophistication." Lin Hai couldn't help but mock.
Xue Meigui shook her head: "No, the naming of descendants in the Lin Family carries a deep and profound meaning."
"Every descendant and their generation are ranked according to the mutual complementarity of the Five Elements."
"Mutual complementarity of the Five Elements?"
Lin Hai's curiosity was piqued immediately.
"Yes, the Lin Family ranks their members according to Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain, and Sea, naming them to complement the element most lacking in a person's astrology chart."
"In addition, the eldest in the Sea generation also gets named directly after the Sea."
Xue Meigui explained.
Lin Hai couldn't help but recall his own name, wasn't it just a Sea, and Demon Young Master Lin Jiang had also mentioned that he was his elder brother, the first in the Lin Family's direct lineage.
"Demon Young Master is the second in the first direct lineage, below you, hence named Jiang."
"This Lin Shan is the first in the second direct lineage, so he is named Shan."
Xue Meigui felt it necessary to explain all this to Lin Hai, so that in future encounters with the Lin Family, he could distinguish identities.
"The generational order is: Sea, Mountain, Fire, Wind."
"The Sea generation is named: River, Lake, Jiang, Hai."
"The Mountain generation is named: Mountain, Peak, Summit, Crest."
"The Fire generation comes from the First collateral branch, named: Yan, Flame, Fire, as they are side branches, they have only three character names."
"The Wind generation comes from the Second collateral branch, named: Ju, Biao, Wind."
After listening to Xue Meigui's explanations, Lin Hai suddenly came to a great realization.
It turns out that the names of the Lin Family members carry such profound meanings.
Compensating for the lack of the Five Elements signifies that they hope each descendant's fate is solid on the contrary.
In fact, every large family has its own internal conflicts, and the Lin Family, even in naming, considers things more far-reaching than other families.
However, Lin Hai couldn't accept his identity as a member of the Lin Family just yet.
"Xue Meigui, is this guy the young man you keep? Whispering sweet nothings?" Lin Shan's frivolous, mocking voice sounded.
Xue Meigui furrowed her brows deeply and was about to charge up but was stopped by Lin Hai's raised hand.
Narrowing his eyes, Lin Hai measured up this second direct lineage fellow. In terms of bloodline, the other party should actually be his brother.
"This Lin Shan little brother, speaking recklessly without evidence can have legal consequences." Lin Hai said.
For some reason, from the first glance at the other, Lin Hai felt a strong aversion and repulsion.
"Legal consequences?"
Lin Shan let out a derisive laugh.
"Do I need to face legal consequences? Kid, do you know what the Yanjing Lin Family represents?"
After saying this, Lin Shan looked at Lin Hai with contempt, feeling he had encountered a country bumpkin who hadn't heard of the prestigious Yanjing Lin Family.
"No matter who it is, if a crime is committed, they have to face legal consequences."
Lin Hai spoke calmly.
Ouyang Xiaoya quietly tugged on Lin Hai's arm.
The name of the Yanjing Lin Family was well-known to the president. In Yanjing, these super families were not to be trifled with by ordinary people.
"Damn Beast, that's someone from the Yanjing Lin Family. Best not to offend them." Ouyang Xiaoya reminded softly.
"What the girl said is right, not bad, and she's quite something in looks too. How about spending tonight with me?" Lin Shan looked at Ouyang Xiaoya's beautiful face, a lewd smile appeared.
Ouyang Xiaoya frowned, deep disgust flashing in her eyes, coldly said: "Mr. Lin, please have some self-respect!"
"Self-respect? Haha, in Yanjing, do I, Lin Shan, need self-respect?" Lin Shan proudly raised his head.
He felt it necessary to let these oblivious people in front of him know his strength.
Thinking about this, Lin Shan said arrogantly, "In Yanjing, no one dares touch me, Lin Shan."
"Tsk tsk, ordinary people indeed wouldn't dare touch you, but there are many super young masters in Yanjing, besides, there are many impressive people, they could all deal with you, like Young Master Xuanyuan Long, or even Kirin who doesn't belong to any family." Lin Hai said with a smile.
Lin Shan's expression grew a little grim.
Young Master Xuanyuan Long.
Kirin.
Those people were indeed ones he didn't dare provoke.
"Hmph, anyway, Xue Meigui, you're a servant of the Lin Family. Having offended me, by the rules, you should kneel and bow to me." Lin Shan changed the subject.
Making an ice-cold, beautiful, proud woman kneel to him seemed very satisfying, and especially since this woman was the trusted aide of Demon Young Master.
Xue Meigui was furious, she could kneel to Demon Young Master because he saved her when she was young.
But what was Lin Shan in her eyes, not even worthy to carry Demon Young Master's shoes?
"What? Don't want to kneel?" Lin Shan sneered, a cruel smile appeared, he continued: "According to the Lin Family rules, challenging those above will be severely punished. This rule was set by our ancestors, even Demon Young Master can't protect you."
Xue Meigui clenched her fists tightly but didn't act impulsively again.
Lin Shan was right, no matter the reason, servants could not show disrespect to Lin Family members.
And as for punishment, the Lin Family had always been very strict and harsh.
"Tsk tsk, feudal system, hmph!" Lin Hai frowned, expressing dissatisfaction.
"Kid, are you mocking my Lin Family's ancestral rules?" Lin Shan sneered, staring at Lin Hai.
If the other dared to answer yes, it would mean challenging the entire Lin Family, and by then he would make sure he didn't get away with it.
"Do you believe I'll make sure you can't leave Yanjing?"
"Want to try?" Lin Hai narrowed his eyes, showing no weakness.
"Hehe, you're practically courting death!"
Just as Lin Shan spoke, he found a slipper viciously flying towards his face, in his vision he could even see a large "Size 45" printed on it.
"Believe it or not, I'll make you the first person to be slapped to death with a slipper."
Lin Hai struck swiftly.
Pa——
A slender, white, tender hand suddenly caught Lin Hai's slipper, sharp nails swiftly slashing, reducing half the slipper to pieces.
Lin Hai saw a woman appear behind Lin Shan, it was her who had intervened.
This striking woman, with her seductive lips and cold eyes, seemed at least of super first-class strength, even stronger than Xue Meigui by a bit.
"Since Demon Young Master likes to have a girl as a trusty aide, I naturally followed suit."
Lin Shan proudly raised his head: "Although my aide is indeed much stronger than Xue Meigui."
"By the way, I named her Ice Rose, what do you think?"
Xue Meigui stared intently at the so-called "Ice Rose". Perhaps due to women's instincts, the eyes of the two roses seemed locked in fierce confrontation.
Lin Hai glanced at Ice Rose and said: "Quite fast hands, is that tempo meant to give me a quick hand session?"
Ice Rose's gaze turned towards Lin Hai, a hint of killing intent flashed, and she said slowly, "Learn to take responsibility for your words."
"Responsibility? Of course, I'll be responsible, rest assured, three hundred for the night, keep me company tonight, and I'll definitely be responsible, let's develop a long-term thing?"
When Lin Hai finished, he had three hundred yuan in his hand.
