Zhu Yuting said, "Mom. Big brother first smashed the bracelet worth tens of millions I gave him, and then claimed that the gifts from Ye Tian and Ziyi were fake. Even if we are honest as a family, we can't be bullied like this!"
Lin Zhenying's expression was grim. No matter who it was, they would feel that he was deliberately oppressing his second brother's family today, and it was impossible to explain clearly.
The old lady also felt that things had gone too far. But the Lin family's rise still relied on the eldest son, so she said with a stern face, "No one is bullying you, you are overthinking it yourself."
Zhu Yuting chuckled, "Mom, you are the elder, whatever you say goes. Your daughter-in-law dares not argue."
She suddenly asked Ye Tian, "Ye Tian, are you on good terms with Master Guangji?"
Ye Tian didn't know what she was up to, but he truthfully replied, "Pretty good."
Zhu Yuting asked, "Master Guangji should know many important people, right?"
Ye Tian said, "Yes, the people he knows are either rich or noble."
Zhu Yuting continued, "Ye Tian, if we invite the Master to help our family secure some large projects, it shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
The word "our" had, intentionally or unintentionally, already treated Ye Tian as one of their own.
Ye Tian said, "If it's just about doing some projects, there's no need to trouble the Master. I can find other friends to help."
As soon as he said this, someone outside the hall sneered, "You, a piece of trash from the bottom, what kind of friends can you possibly know?"
Two young men walked in. One was Lin Changxin, who had lost half his teeth, and the other was Ma Junji.
When Ma Junji saw Ye Tian, he immediately revealed a cold smile and said, "You are indeed here!"
Ye Tian frowned. He had clearly used some methods on Ma Junji, but now it seemed his methods had been deciphered! Of course, the person who deciphered it had limited skill, and by doing so, he would only accelerate Ma Junji's demise.
Seeing Ma Junji, the old lady immediately smiled. The Ma family was even wealthier than the Zhou family. If Lin Ziyi could marry into the Ma family, with the Ma family's backing, the Lin family's development would surely be faster!
"Young Master Ma, thank you for attending my birthday banquet. Please take the honored seat!"
Ma Junji said to the old lady, "Grandmother, I am here today to wish you a happy birthday and to formally propose marriage to the Lin family to marry Lin Ziyi."
The old lady smiled so broadly that her eyes could not close, and she repeatedly said, "Good, good!"
But suddenly, Ma Junji's expression turned cold, and pointing at Ye Tian, he asked, "Who is this person?"
The old lady's smile froze. She immediately said, "Old Li, release Tian Lang, and drive him out!"
Tian Lang was a fierce dog that had once killed a great thief who was stealing from the Lin family. It stood taller than a person and could fight tigers and leopards, being exceptionally ferocious.
This old lady was actually going to unleash a fierce dog to attack someone, clearly wanting Ye Tian gone immediately, not wanting to see him for a moment.
The fierce dog, as ferocious as a tiger, roared and charged towards Ye Tian. Ye Tian's expression remained calm. He glanced at the fierce dog indifferently, and a divine light flashed in his eyes.
Suddenly, the fierce dog stopped abruptly, then let out a mournful cry, tucked its tail, and turned to run, as if it had encountered a primordial beast, its soul scattered and its courage lost.
Seeing that the fiercest "Tian Lang" in the house had actually run away, everyone was astonished. What was going on?
Ye Tian looked at Ma Junji and said lightly, "It seems you've found a backer."
Ma Junji chuckled, "That's right! Ye Tian, today, I will take Lin Ziyi away in front of you! Also, how you treated me that day, I will repay you tenfold!"
As he spoke, another Taoist priest walked in from outside. This Taoist priest was in his forties, with a sallow complexion and no beard, triangular eyes. He wore cloud boots and a gray Taoist robe, his gaze extremely sharp and cold. Sudancn.com
The Taoist priest entered the hall, swept his gaze around, and landed on Ye Tian, saying, "Relying on a few tricks, you dare to lay hands on Young Master Ma. You truly deserve to die!"
Ye Tian sneered, "Open your dog eyes and look clearly before you speak to me."
At this moment, the air around his body suddenly began to distort, and his aura became as solid as Mount Tai, as deep as a dark abyss, immeasurable!
The Taoist priest was startled, then enraged and shocked, and cried out in horror, "Body-protecting Qi! You..."
He suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself, then knelt on the ground, trembling, and said, "This humble Taoist Yun Song, greets the Grandmaster!"
