Listening to Lin Yuanshan's words, Fifth Yuanze couldn't help but look at Lin Hao, who was seated at the head of the hall.
He knew Lin Yuanshan was deliberately provoking him.
But at the same time, he had to admit that Lin Yuanshan was speaking the truth.
If this were an ordinary occasion, he might have let it slide.
But today, countless family powers were present.
If this matter were to be let go just like that, the Fifth family's reputation would be ruined.
With these thoughts in mind, Fifth Yuanze glanced at Lin Hao, who was seated at the head of the hall, and nodded in agreement.
After agreeing, he didn't hesitate, immediately getting up and rushing home.
The Fifth family was not far from the Lin family, a round trip would take at most half an hour.
As long as he brought his father, Lin Hao, even with wings, wouldn't be able to escape the Lin family...
Seeing Fifth Yuanze set off for his family, Lin Yuanshan breathed a sigh of relief.
Along with the relief, he couldn't help but feel excited.
Just like Fifth Yuanze, Lin Yuanshan felt that as long as the old patriarch of the Fifth family, Fifth Bo Weng, was invited, Lin Hao would be like fish on a chopping block, at their mercy.
After all, in terms of status, position, or cultivation, Lin Hao could not compare to Fifth Bo Weng.
Fifth Bo Weng was a figure on the same level as the Old Master. Who was Lin Hao to be compared?
With these thoughts, Lin Yuanshan's hanging heart finally settled.
Given that it concerned the face of the Fifth family, he believed Fifth Bo Weng would definitely come.
Especially since Fifth Yuanze was personally inviting him.
Pondering these matters, Lin Yuanshan couldn't help but show a faint smile on his face.
Then, Lin Yuanshan looked at Lin Hao, who was sitting at the head of the hall in his original seat, and sneered.
He wanted to say something, but he held back.
Now, he just needed to wait for Fifth Yuanze to bring the old patriarch, Fifth Bo Weng.
At the same time.
The onlookers also fell silent.
Their eyes were not blind, and they naturally saw Fifth Yuanze storming out.
Combined with Lin Hao's previous words, they didn't need to guess to know that Fifth Yuanze was going to invite the old patriarch, Fifth Bo Weng.
Upon thinking that the old patriarch of the Fifth family, Fifth Bo Weng, would soon arrive, the expressions of everyone present became solemn.
Fifth Bo Weng, with his mastery of divination, could foresee the future and understand the past.
Many people present had benefited from his kindness.
Therefore, many genuinely respected Fifth Bo Weng from the bottom of their hearts.
At the same time, their dislike for Lin Hao intensified.
It was clearly a minor matter, yet it required the esteemed elder Fifth Bo Weng to come.
In their opinion, Lin Hao was truly ignorant of propriety.
After all, Fifth Bo Weng was of the same generation as Lin Hao's grandfather.
If nothing else, based on Fifth Bo Weng's reputation, Lin Hao should not have acted so recklessly at this wedding.
Unexpectedly, Lin Hao not only disrupted the wedding but also caused Fifth Bo Weng to come in person.
They truly couldn't stand Lin Hao's arrogant and disrespectful behavior.
However, due to Lin Hao's martial prowess, they could only endure it for now and wait for Fifth Yuanze to bring Fifth Bo Weng.
At that time, they would surely criticize Lin Hao thoroughly.
It would be even better if they could flay Lin Hao and tear his tendons.
Thus, time slowly passed.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour had gone by.
Just as everyone thought Fifth Yuanze and Fifth Bo Weng should be arriving soon.
Two figures slowly walked in from outside the hall.
One was Fifth Yuanze, and the other was none other than Fifth Bo Weng.
Fifth Bo Weng had white hair, a goatee, a withered face, and leaned on a walking stick.
He looked like a simple old man from the countryside.
After entering, Fifth Bo Weng walked while looking at Lin Hao, who was seated at the head of the hall.
The moment Fifth Bo Weng entered, Lin Hao's gaze also fell upon him.
Lin Hao had heard of Fifth Bo Weng's great name since he was young, but he had never met him.
This was the first time he was seeing him today.
Lin Hao had expected Fifth Bo Weng to be an elder with an extraordinary presence.
Upon seeing him, he found Fifth Bo Weng to be very ordinary.
So ordinary that you wouldn't look at him twice in a crowd.
However, it was precisely this ordinariness that made Lin Hao pay more attention.
If it were anyone else, Lin Hao wouldn't have paid much attention.
But the person before him was the old patriarch of the Fifth family, Fifth Bo Weng.
Moreover, Lin Hao had felt this ordinary aura from another person.
That person was his grandfather.
In Lin Hao's memory, his grandfather had always felt incredibly ordinary, as if he were just a common old man.
However, this feeling stopped around the time he was fifteen.
Because at that time, Lin Hao suddenly felt that his grandfather seemed to have become somewhat ethereal.
Although he still looked ordinary, there was an ethereal aura about him.
That aura was invisible, intangible, and ungraspable, yet it was undeniably present.
At that time, Lin Hao didn't understand why and always asked his grandfather about it.
His grandfather would always chuckle and say that he would understand in the future.
Now, Lin Hao truly understood.
If nothing unexpected happened, his grandfather must have entered a new realm at that time, which was why that change occurred.
While thinking these thoughts, Lin Hao looked at Fifth Bo Weng, who was walking into the hall.
As Fifth Bo Weng walked, the people surrounding him voluntarily made way.
Although Fifth Bo Weng looked very ordinary, everyone present showed expressions of reverence.
Fifth Bo Weng stopped in the hall, looked at Lin Hao seated in the grand chair, and seemed to be walking with some effort. He gasped for breath and asked, "Young friend, you summoned me here. For what purpose?"
"The marriage between the Lin family and the Fifth family," Lin Hao said calmly, without standing up, looking at Fifth Bo Weng. "You and I know the current state of the Lin family all too well."
"With the current status and strength of the Fifth family, how could they possibly marry into the Lin family?"
"Therefore, I wish to know the reason behind it."
Before Fifth Bo Weng could reply, Lin Yuanshan immediately pointed at Lin Hao and angrily rebuked, "You unfilial son, how dare you speak to Elder Fifth like that!?"
"Elder Fifth is asking you a question, and you're sitting in the grand chair without even getting up. Do you have any respect for seniority or hierarchy in your eyes!?"
"You scoundrel, you are simply a scoundrel!"
Following Lin Yuanshan's tirade, the onlookers also erupted.
They all pointed fingers at Lin Hao and cursed him.
They cursed Lin Hao for being arrogant and presumptuous, for disrespecting elders, and for lacking upbringing.
Seeing that he had the crowd's support, Lin Yuanshan's face showed a hint of smugness.
He was about to take the opportunity to scold Lin Hao again, but Fifth Bo Weng waved his hand, interrupting him.
