Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future

392 Too Impudent?

A young man sat beside Lin Yuanhai. He was Lin Yasi’s brother, Lin Yuanjie.

Shen Fei’s gaze swept toward the old man in black robes, his brows slightly furrowed. “And you are?”

At this moment, a calm voice said, “Shen Fei is an honored guest whom I invited.”

A middle-aged man in his thirties or forties walked into the hall. He was wearing a gray robe. His body emitted a powerful and sharp aura. This was the head of the Lin Family, Lin Wen.

“Greetings, Patriarch!” All the members of the Lin Family bowed and greeted him respectfully.

“Fei, how have you been?” Lin Wen said to Shen Fei with a smile.

“Pretty good.” Shen Fei smiled back.

Suddenly, Lin Wen changed the topic and looked at Shen Fei solemnly. “Where’s Shen Teng? Why hasn’t there been any sign of him lately?”

Hearing this, Shen Fei sneered. “There’s nothing I can do about that.”

Lin Wen’s face darkened. Lin Yuanhai pointed at Shen Fei and scolded, “You little brat, how dare you be so rude? Is this what Shen Teng raised you to be?”

“Haha!” Shen Fei revealed a disdainful sneer.

Lin Yuanhai continued to berate him, and his eyes were filled with coldness.

Lin Wen waved his hand and said, “Alright, calm down!” Then, he looked at Shen Fei and said, “Fei, I know you blame the Lin family for what happened to your family. I was wrong back then. I shouldn’t have watched from the sidelines. I didn’t expect the four great families to be so despicable.

“But what’s done is done. I hope you can forgive the Lin family and rejoin us as a member of the Lin family instead. We will definitely treat you well!”

“…No, thanks.” Shen Fei shook his head.

“You…!” Lin Yuanhai glared at Shen Fei furiously.

Shen Fei did not hide his mockery and contempt for Lin Yuanhai. “You don’t need to be so agitated. Trash like you is just an ant in my eyes.”

“B*stard!” Lin Yuanhai roared angrily. His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Shen Fei. In an instant, Lin Yuanhai’s body erupted with a terrifying aura of vital Qi that enveloped the entire room.

He exploded forward with his palm aimed at Shen Fei.

Boom!

Lin Yuanhai’s palm strike only met the ground and the floor cracked while a monstrous wave of energy rippled out.

Shen Fei retaliated immediately. He circulated the nirvana sutra of physical strength and the martial true Qi in his body and burst out, clashing with Lin Yuanhai.

The two of them retreated after the first exchange. Lin Yuanhai’s body trembled and he spat out blood.

“You…!” Lin Yuanhai stared at Shen Fei in shock and disbelief. How could Shen Fei’s physical body be so terrifying? “How is this possible?”

Many members of the Lin family present were shocked as well. They did not expect Shen Fei to be able to injure Lin Yuanhai with a single punch.

“How is this possible? You… Y-you’re hiding your strength!” Lin Yuanhai’s eyes were fixed on Shen Fei.

“Hmph, Shen Fei, you hid the extent of your cultivation well.”

At this moment, a middle-aged man in embroidered clothes, sitting on the left side of the hall, looked at Shen Fei coldly. His gaze was as sharp as a sword as he stared at Shen Fei.

This was Lin Yuansong. He was Lin Wen’s half-brother. He was the leader of the second generation of the Lin family. Although he looked like he was only in his forties, he was already in his fifties.

“There are still many things you don’t know!”

“Do you think you have the right to interfere in my matters?” Shen Fei took a step forward and stood in front of Lin Yuansong. He looked down his nose at this so-called second uncle.

This made Lin Yuansong feel humiliated.

At this moment, another middle-aged man in luxurious clothes looked at Shen Fei and said coldly, “Shen Fei, you are too impudent.”

Shen Fei raised his eyebrows and looked at the middle-aged man. “Is this how the Lin family treats their guests?”

The middle-aged man scoffed.

Shen Fei said, “Who do you think you are? You’re not fit to talk about politeness with me.”

“You…!” The middle aged man’s eyes flashed as he glared at Shen Fei. He was about to flare up.

However, Lin Wen stopped him. “Alright, stop arguing,” he said in a deep voice. “Fei, I apologize. I don’t expect you to forgive me and the entire Lin family. I just hope that you’ll be happy.”

Shen Fei smiled contemptuously. “Hmph, what a joke. Tell me, what is your true purpose for seeking me?”

Then, he sat on a chair in front of Lin Wen. This scene shocked everyone from the Lin family. They did not expect tonight’s family banquet to turn out like this. This Shen Fei was too arrogant.

The eyes of the Lin family patriarch flashed as he looked at Shen Fei and said, “Fei, I want to take you in as a direct descendant of the Lin family. What do you say? If you father a direct descendant of the Lin family, our future status and power will become far greater than a direct descendant of a branch family.

“If you join the Lin family and become the heir of the Lin family’s direct line of descent, your future achievements would even surpass Lin Tianyu’s. You might even have the chance to become the most powerful person in the Lin family.

“And when you inherit the position of patriarch in the future, you can control the entire Lin family, including the major forces in the Imperial State and power from the ancient world.

” You can dominate the cultivation realms, and stand proudly above it all. An expert—the most powerful being—among cultivators of the ancient realms. This is not only your dream, but also the dream of the Lin family’s ancestors.” Lin Wen looked expectantly at Shen Fei.

“Your dream is really big!” Shen Fei smiled playfully. He despised the idea of becoming a member of the Lin family.

Lin Wen continued, “Fei, I hope you can consider it seriously. You and my daughter, Lin Yasi, are both unmarried. You’re set to become a couple.”

Shen Fei’s face darkened murderously when he heard this.

“What do you want?” Shen Fei said coldly.

“Marriage,” Lin Wen said simply.

Bang! Shen Fei’s figure shot forward and he stomped on the table. The wooden table was smashed into pieces.

This scene caused the Lin Family elders and Lin Yuansong’s eyes to flash in surprise.

“Your Lin family has ambitious plans. It sounds good to be the number one person, but I decline,” Shen Fei spat coldly.

At this moment, Lin Yuansong said coldly, “Do you think you have a choice?”

Lin Wen kept his gaze on Shen Fei. “That’s right. Fei, since you’ve come here, you’re a member of the Lin family now. You should abide by the rules of the Lin family. Otherwise, you will be disrespecting and disobeying the family. According to the family laws, you would be executed.”
