Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint Chapter 1208 - 148: Third Master Lin’s Changing Attitude!2

"Kneel properly!"

"Father!!" Lin Jiaxin knelt on the prayer mat in front of the ancestral hall, her eyes still filled with stubbornness.

"You, the legitimate daughter of the Lin family, have set your sights on a constable’s son! And you still have the face to look at ? Can’t you take your aunt as an example?" The middle-aged man showed anger, and the willow whip in his hand was raised high.

"Master, don’t!" The young-looking woman beside him quickly reached out to grab the right hand holding the willow whip.

"Why not? She is an Eighth Grade Martial Artist, are you afraid I’ll hurt her with a whip?" the middle-aged man retorted angrily.

"Master, Xin’er is still a girl!" The middle-aged woman looked heartbroken.

"Father, he’s outstanding and handso!" Jiang Yiming’s face flashed in Lin Jiaxin’s mind as she spoke.

"Handso?" Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man’s face grew even angrier: "What use is being handso? In all of Dongling City’s prominent families, which young master isn’t handso?"

"Father, his martial arts talent is also very high! He’s a few years younger than , yet he’s already reached Eighth Grade!" Lin Jiaxin spoke again, trying to say good things about Jiang Yiming.

"Eighth Grade?" The middle-aged man showed disdain: "Scholarship is poor; martial arts are rich. How can a constable’s family have enough resources to support his martial arts advancent?"

Then he said, "Xin’er, I advise you to give up this idea yourself! As my daughter, you should marry soone who matches our social status."

At this mont.

Many people had already gathered at the entrance of the ancestral hall.

Looking at Lin Zhenbei and his daughter in the hall, soone couldn’t help but laugh.

"Our cousin has gone crazy. As a daughter of the first family of Dongling City, rather than marry a great man like her aunt, she wants to marry a constable’s son. It’s truly because she’s lived too comfortably, never experiencing the hardships of life."

Just then.

A figure hurriedly approached from the rear.

"Make way!"

"Make way!"

"..."

Hearing the commotion behind them, the crowd surrounding the ancestral hall imdiately turned around.

"Housekeeper Li!"

"Uncle Li!"

"..."

Seeing the elderly man behind them, everyone greeted him.

As an old housekeeper who dedicated his life to the Lin family, escorting them from a pillar of Dongling County to the number one family in Dongling City, he was owed respect by everyone present.

The onlookers quickly made way for Housekeeper Li.

Housekeeper Li stepped over the threshold of the ancestral hall and entered the Lin family hall.

"Third Master!" Housekeeper Li approached Lin Zhenbei, showing respectful deanor.

"Housekeeper Li, what brings you in such a hurry?" Lin Zhenbei set aside educating his daughter for a mont.

"Third Master, Lord Jiang has co to visit. The Family Head asks that you bring Miss over!" Housekeeper Li said, giving a glance to Lin Jiaxin, who was kneeling at the door.

"Lord Jiang?" Lin Zhenbei’s eyes showed surprise.

He looked at his daughter again, showing a puzzled expression.

He really couldn’t figure out how his daughter was connected to Jiang Ning, a Grandmaster.

He also understood that it was impossible for Jiang Ning to have taken a liking to his daughter.

Although his daughter’s looks and family background were indeed good, in Dongling City, there were many who surpassed her in these aspects.

And he was just the Third Master of the Lin family, not the Family Head.

Given Jiang Ning’s current accomplishnts, if he were to marry.

Not just in a small place like Dongling City, even across the major families and nobility of Guangning Prefecture, and even marquises’ daughters, would eagerly offer their cherished pearls.

At such an age, to achieve the rank of Grandmaster and concurrently serve as a County Patrol Envoy,

If not for inadequate experience and credentials, he wouldn’t remain a minor Secondary Sixth-rank official.

But everyone knew that if nothing unexpected happened, Jiang Ning’s achievents were limitless.

He would not stop at a re Secondary Sixth-rank.

Not to ntion that everyone could foresee that Jiang Ning would surely beco the Martial Champion in one of the future Martial Examinations.

This achievent alone was enough for the various forces to consider sending their daughters.

"Get up first, co with to et Lord Jiang!" Lin Zhenbei said.

"Master, why does Lord Jiang wish to see our daughter?" the woman beside him asked.

"I don’t know!" Lin Zhenbei looked at Lin Jiaxin, who was slowly getting up, and said.

"Father, I don’t know either. I’ve never had any dealings with Lord Jiang!" Lin Jiaxin also spoke up.

"We’ll find out when we et!" Lin Zhenbei said.

...

On the other side.

The Lin family’s reception room.

"Lord Jiang, by the timing, the third brother and Lin Jiaxin should be arriving soon. Would you like to share your reason for visiting now?" A calm-faced man with slightly white hair spoke.

"No hurry, the Family Head of the Lin family will find out shortly!" Jiang Ning replied.

"Alright!" Lin Zhenxing nodded, still smiling.

Then, his gaze fell on Jiang Yiming.

"Lord Jiang’s nephew looks outstanding, truly sharing so resemblance with Lord Jiang! I didn’t know before that Lord Jiang had such a relative!"

Jiang Ning smiled.

He knew Lin Zhenxing seed to be praising Jiang Yiming but was actually boasting about himself.

Given Lin Zhenxing’s position as the head of the Lin family, it was normal for him not to know about his nephew.

Since taking up the position of County Patrol Envoy of Dongling County, his family records in Luoshui County were removed and burned.

Thus, relying solely on external investigations, it wasn’t easy to uncover everything about him.

And anyone daring to investigate him blatantly wouldn’t find his n oblivious.

Only those with close relations and frequent interactions knew of his family.

Just then.

Several figures appeared at the reception room’s door.

Seeing Lin Zhenbei and Lin Jiaxin arrive, the Lin family head, Lin Zhenxing, imdiately stood up.

"Old Third, co quickly! This is the County Patrol Envoy of Dongling County, Lord Jiang!" Lin Zhenxing raised his hand, introducing the seated Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning then stood up.

If things went smoothly, Lin Zhenxing might beco his in-law, so he showed proper courtesy.

anwhile.

As soon as Lin Jiaxin entered the hall, she spotted Jiang Yiming standing beside Jiang Ning.

Her eyes widened, showing disbelief.

Then she looked at Jiang Ning and noticed the facial resemblance between Jiang Yiming and Jiang Ning, leading her to a conjecture.

"Greetings, Lord Jiang!" Lin Zhenbei saluted Jiang Ning.

"Greetings, Lord Jiang!" Lin Jiaxin followed her father’s actions in paying respects to Jiang Ning.

"Mr. Lin, there’s no need to be so polite!" Jiang Ning raised his hand, and an invisible force lifted the two of them.

Feeling this irresistible force, Lin Zhenbei was secretly amazed.

Though he already knew of Jiang Ning’s extraordinary strength, having entered the rank of Grandmaster, and not just any Grandmaster.

The difference between rumor and firsthand experience is palpable.

At this mont, Lin Zhenbei also noticed Jiang Yiming beside Jiang Ning, who bore a resemblance to him.

His face showed surprise: "This is..."

"Jiang Yiming, my nephew!" Jiang Ning said.

"So, this is Lord Jiang’s young master. I thought there was so resemblance to Lord Jiang—so dignified and impressive."

"Greetings, Third Master Lin!" Jiang Yiming cupped his hands to salute Lin Zhenbei.

"Young Master Jiang, you’re too kind!" Lin Zhenbei looked at the handso and dignified Jiang Yiming, showing a wide smile.

Then he said, "Young Master Jiang, if you have ti in the future, do visit my Lin mansion more often!"

Jiang Ning smiled, then said, "I believe he should have ti!"

Hearing this, Lin Zhenbei looked at Jiang Ning with a puzzled expression.

He couldn’t decipher Jiang Ning’s comnt.

anwhile.

The Lin family head, Lin Zhenxing, who hadn’t participated in the conversation, noticed the exchange of gazes between Jiang Yiming and Lin Jiaxin in midair.

"Could it be..." His heart suddenly understood.

He had heard from the third brother before that Xin’er seed to have a mutual affection with a young man in the Martial Arts Garden.

Considering the current situation.

Jiang Ning, who never had contact with the Lin family, suddenly visiting today and bringing his nephew he had never t.

These two things rged in his mind, and seeing the gaze between Jiang Yiming and Lin Jiaxin.

What was just a guess beca more certain in his mind now!
