"Why are you still so stubborn?" Old Wu was very helpless.
"Old Wu, the Lin family is the property my husband left behind. I cannot let it be ruined in my hands. I have decided to let Liwen inherit the family," the old lady said with a firm tone.
"Liwen? With her personality, is she suitable?" Old Wu was very displeased.
"Heh, you just said that I'm not surnamed Lin, so I'm not qualified to control the Lin family. But Liwen is surnamed Lin, and you think she's not suitable? Old Wu, don't you think your words just now are a betrayal of the Lin family?" The old lady's tone was cold.
Old Wu was immediately speechless, but he was worthy of being a high-ranking member of the Lin family and quickly stabilized himself.
"Liwen is indeed a member of the Lin family, but she is too weak. Once she takes over, the Lin family will likely be controlled by Fang Wenhua, so she cannot inherit the Lin family."
"Heh, this is ridiculous. Since when are you qualified to comment on the Lin family's heir?" The old lady burst into laughter.
At the same time, a mouthful of fresh blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth.
"Say whatever you want, but the future leader of the Lin family can only be Jiang Li."
…
Meanwhile, on the other side, Lin Xiao Tian took the old lady's blood sample to the room and continued her research.
Soon, she discovered a serious problem.
The reaction of the Gu poison in this blood sample was clearly different from before.
Simply put, the Gu poison had mutated.
For Gu poison to mutate, a new Gu poison must have been added.
But this was clearly impossible. The old lady had been protected all this time, and ordinary people could not get close to her.
Unless… there was an inside informant by the old lady's side?
And this informant was someone the old lady trusted the most.
In the entire Lin family, besides her two daughters, the only people the old lady trusted the most were that old man and the accompanying doctors.
If this were the case, it would mean that these people knew what the newly added Gu poison was.
As long as the new Gu poison was known, Lin Xiao Tian could immediately adjust and create a new antidote.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao Tian hurried to find the old lady.
The old lady had told her where she was staying, so Lin Xiao Tian found her quickly.
At this moment, the old lady was still chatting with Old Wu. Seeing this, Lin Xiao Tian said urgently, "Old lady, I have something important to tell you. Can we talk in private?"
Since Old Wu was also a suspect, Lin Xiao Tian did not speak in front of him.
But Lin Xiao Tian did not expect Old Wu to directly betray her.
"Just say whatever you need to," Old Wu interrupted the old lady.
Lin Xiao Tian frowned. "I want to talk to the old lady alone."
"Not now," Old Wu directly refused Lin Xiao Tian.
Lin Xiao Tian looked at the old lady, then at the anxious medical staff nearby, and quickly realized something.
It seemed she didn't need to look for the informant; it was Old Wu standing in front of her.
Old Wu was skilled, even better than Xiao Ming. Although he had no internal energy, he was experienced.
Lin Xiao Tian thought for a moment and finally withdrew.
Old Wu was somewhat surprised that Lin Xiao Tian actually left.
But the next second, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right.
His reaction was quick. He instinctively dodged to the side. As his gaze swept over, several golden needles were embedded in the pillars of the pavilion.
When the golden needles pierced the pillars, they did not even tremble, indicating the immense skill of the thrower.
Damn it!
The old lady!
Old Wu quickly recovered from his astonishment. He suddenly remembered that he had just left the old lady.
But when he realized it, Lin Xiao Tian had already reached the old lady.
Old Wu did not hesitate and lunged at Lin Xiao Tian.
Although he could easily kill the old lady now, he was a member of the Lin family, and the old lady was the family head. If he did something like this, it would be treason. Even if Jiang Li gained power later, he would still die.
But Lin Xiao Tian was different. He could later claim that he had attacked Lin Xiao Tian to protect the old lady.
Old Wu's speed was astonishing. In just a moment, he was behind Lin Xiao Tian.
Lin Xiao Tian's goal was to take the old lady away first, but Old Wu's target was Lin Xiao Tian. Thus, he easily found an opening.
Behind Lin Xiao Tian, Old Wu had already formed his right hand into a palm, pointing directly at the back of Lin Xiao Tian's head.
The back of the head, being the most vulnerable part of the human body, would result in at least unconsciousness if struck, or becoming a fool like Lin Xiao Tian had become, if the blow was severe.
Old Wu's palm was clearly unleashed without any reservation. If Lin Xiao Tian had been hit, even if he miraculously survived, he would have definitely suffered severe sequelae.
But just as Old Wu was about to succeed, Lin Xiao Tian's head suddenly turned. Old Wu's palm missed Lin Xiao Tian's head and instead struck his shoulder.
Bang!
This palm was indeed not held back. It directly let out a muffled sound. An ordinary person would cry out in pain if they took such a blow.
But Lin Xiao Tian was no ordinary person.
Lin Xiao Tian turned the tables, taking this opportunity to grab Old Wu's hand.
Old Wu, worthy of being an old hand, immediately kicked towards Lin Xiao Tian's face, trying to force Lin Xiao Tian to defend himself and let go of his hand.
His close-quarters combat skills were formidable. In normal circumstances, he would have stuck to Lin Xiao Tian. But the moment he was grabbed by Lin Xiao Tian, Old Wu sensed a trace of danger.
This was the intuition of a master. Coupled with the fact that Xiao Ming was almost completely outmatched when fighting Lin Xiao Tian previously, Old Wu did not dare to hesitate any longer and chose to distance himself from Lin Xiao Tian.
Old Wu's caution also surprised Lin Xiao Tian.
Although Old Wu had no internal energy and would not be his match in a pure physical fight, his combat experience was truly admirable.
"Not bad, no wonder Xiao Ming couldn't defeat you," Old Wu praised sincerely. "You didn't go all out when you fought Xiao Ming last time, did you?"
"Old man, you are not bad either, but unfortunately, the gap between us is too great," Lin Xiao Tian said calmly.
"Hmph! You are truly arrogant. Don't think you're invincible just because you beat Xiao Ming. Look closely, you won't be so lucky next time!" Old Wu finished speaking, and his aura suddenly surged.
Lin Xiao Tian trembled.
He suddenly realized that a trace of internal energy had appeared on Old Wu's body.
The fluctuation of internal energy was very small and unstable, clearly achieved by some method to forcibly boost it. But even a little bit was enough to overwhelm many masters.
"The older the ginger, the spicier it is. You are indeed more powerful, but that's all." Lin Xiao Tian smiled.
"Hmph! Don't be too arrogant! You brat!" As soon as Old Wu finished speaking, he lunged forward like a fierce tiger.
His speed had reached the human limit, and the power of his attacks had increased significantly compared to before.
It could be said that Old Wu's abilities were perfect. He was like a boxing champion and a sprinter at the same time.
But he was strong, and Lin Xiao Tian was stronger.
The next second, a sharp pain shot through Old Wu's chest.
Old Wu looked at Lin Xiao Tian in shock. He didn't even know when Lin Xiao Tian had made his move.
"How is this possible? How can you be so strong?"
