“King hai hai is indeed worthy of being personally chosen by the Lord seagod. In the future, there’ll definitely be a place for King hai hai in the sea region. His prospects are promising.”
The old lady said, bowing to Lin Yi in front of everyone.
The patriarch, Qin Kaiyun, followed suit and bowed. Seeing this, everyone else also followed suit.
This bow meant that house Qin had chosen to lower their heads to Lin Yi, following his lead from now on!
The Qin family had voted.
Lin Yi smiled and returned the greeting.”Thank you for your help, old Madam. We’ll be in the same boat in the future!”
“We’ll go through thick and thin together!”Qin family’s old grandmother was overjoyed.
Qin Kaiyun was slightly stunned, but he still went forward and said sincerely,””I was blind before. I hope you can forgive me. In the future, if you have any plans, the Qin family will do our best!”
Strictly speaking, he really couldn’t be blamed for making an error in judgment.
After all, not everyone had the vision of the Qin family’s old grandmother that transcended the times, and even more so, not everyone had the courage to put everything on the line like her. If he, Qin Kaiyun, really had such ability, the Qin family would have been in a completely different situation now, and not just the fifth royal family in name.
Lin Yi waved his hand generously.”You’re too kind, master Qin. We’re friends after all, but we’re still the same.”
Regardless of his impression of Qin Kaiyun, as long as the other party was willing to surrender, he would naturally welcome him with open arms.
In the huge Qin family, just the Qin family’s grandmother, who had extraordinary vision, was already worth a city. Because as long as she was there, as long as he did not pull strings to an unsightly extent in the future, the Qin family would never become pig teammates.
That was enough.
Having said that, although he and the high priest had already decided who would win, the high priest still needed a lot of courage to make such a public declaration of surrender.
After all, he had only proven that he had the strength to match the identity of Sea King, but he had not yet proven that he could withstand the powerful attacks of the four Seas ‘royal families!
Qin Yitong’s hands and feet turned cold as he watched this scene.
The situation was clearly set in stone, but he didn’t know why it had suddenly become like this. It was a sure-win situation, so how did it suddenly collapse?
He couldn’t understand it at all.
But that didn’t matter anymore. Now that Lin Yi was in power, it meant that he was sentenced to death.
If he hadn’t been so arrogant just now, he might still have had a chance to struggle on whilst at death’s door. No matter what, he was the eldest son of the Qin family’s first wife. His symbolic significance was huge. Even if he was excluded from the successor candidate, he wouldn’t be exterminated.
Even Lin Yi wouldn’t do anything to him in order to get on house Qin’s good side. He would probably turn a blind eye.
However, Qin Yitong had just publicly disobeyed his grandmother. At this moment, he had already cut himself off from the Qin family. It was impossible for the entire Qin family to tolerate his existence.
Everyone looked at the old grandmother.
At this moment, Qin Kaiyun spoke first.”Qin Yitong has disobeyed his elders and colluded with foreign enemies. His crime is unforgivable. In the name of the family head, I propose to exile him to the eighteen levels of hell. Who agrees and who disagrees?”
“Eighteen levels of hell?”
Lin Yi’s eyes twitched. There was a place like this in the sea? Or was it just a simple image?
Seeing this, Qin Qing took the initiative to come over and explain,””That’s the name of an oceanic trench. It’s currently the deepest and most unfathomable trench known in the entire sea area. So far, no one has been able to explore its bottom. However, this trench has extraordinary significance and is the foundation of our Qin family.”
Lin Yi nodded, understanding.
Before he came here, he had ordered the Python to seal off the Qin family’s communication channels with the mainland. At first glance, it seemed to be smooth sailing, but in fact, hou mo he had warned him that it was just a pretense deliberately put up by the Qin family.
The true core channel of the Qin family was an extremely deep oceanic trench.
However, it had always been hidden extremely well. Even with the sea God’s temple’s intelligence gathering abilities, they had never been able to find out the exact location.
Sealing off the channels on the surface like he did could only be said to be more symbolic than substantial. In fact, it could not hurt the true vitality of the Qin family at all.
It was also because of this that Lin Yi was so surprised and happy to see the old lady’s surrender!
Those who didn’t know might think that she was forced to sign the agreement, but the truth was that all of this was the Qin family’s old grandmother’s initiative to place a bet.
Such a strong and decisive courage was definitely rare in the entire sea area.
At that moment, Qin Yitong, who was the person involved, turned pale. He looked at Qin Kaiyun in disbelief.””Father, you’re giving up on me just like that?”
Although the 18 levels of hell were only a trench, once he was sent there, it would really be a dark hell. He didn’t dare to imagine the kind of life that was worse than a dog.
“You brought this upon yourself,” Qin Kaiyun sighed.
The rest of the Qin family higher-ups all looked at him, but no one stood out to speak for him.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Qin Kaiyun’s initiative to banish Qin Yitong to the eighteen levels of hell was actually to protect him.
Otherwise, based on the Qin family’s rules, the crime of disobeying the old grandmother alone would be unforgivable even if he died a hundred times.
Being exiled was indeed difficult to endure, but as the saying went, it was better to live than to die a good death. It was much better than being directly executed on the spot.
Unfortunately, Qin Yitong did not think so.
“Have you ever thought that you might have been deceived by this kid’s tricks?”
Qin Yitong stomped his feet and roared hysterically,””That’s the high priest we’re talking about. In the entire sea realm, how many people can say that they can defeat him in a one-on-one battle? He’s just a golden class early phase venerable, and you guys think it’s believable?”
Everyone was speechless.
This matter was indeed inconceivable and could not be explained with common sense, but since his grandmother had personally confirmed this, there was no doubt about it.
No one would question grandmother’s judgment. The Qin family wouldn ‘t, and those who had dealt with grandmother wouldn’t either.
In fact, even Qin Yitong himself understood that no matter what methods he used, the head exalt had lost to Lin Yi. He just didn’t want to accept this.
He was unwilling to accept this.
No one paid any attention to his hysteria. Qin Kaiyun sighed and ordered,””Take him away.”
He had once placed high hopes on his eldest son, and now he finally saw the background of the Qin unification. On the surface, it looked extremely bright, but in reality, it could not be created.
On the other hand, although Qin Qing, who had never been in his eyes, couldn’t turn the tide with his own strength this time, he had at least proved two points.
Firstly, he valued relationships.
Secondly, he had good vision.
For a conservative master, these two points were enough-with his grandmother and him protecting them, as long as they could maintain a good relationship with Lin Yi, the Qin family’s future would be bright.
