Chapter 655: Pure and Unpretentious

The hidden family has always been aloof from the world. When has Wang Tianyuan ever been treated like this?

The three of them had met in advance under the leadership of Wang Tianyuan before coming to the Lin family.

A core member of the family died, and a younger brother also died.

How could Wang Tianyuan give up?

Wang Tianyuan was not sure he could deal with Lin Shi, so he wanted to try to get the other two major families as allies.

However, a cunning fox like Li Hengli would never do such a high-risk, low-return thing.

"Young people always have some temper and personality, but they are different from us old bones."

Li Hengli said with a smile.

Chen Tianqiong had no extra expression, and his expression was even gentler:

"I think the new head of the family has a good temper. According to the words in the country, oh, yes, simple and unpretentious. Very good, very good."

"Huh!"

Seeing that the two people did not stand on his side, Wang Tianyuan could only snort coldly to express his dissatisfaction.

Outside the gate.

A group of soldiers surrounded Lin Honglong and stood outside the gate.

Before the people reached the door, Lin Shi and Qi Qiuyue had already walked out.

"Commander Lin, right? I am the head of the Lin family, Lin Shi."

Lin Shi stepped forward and spoke first.

Lin Honglong's eyes widened.

This time, he received an invitation from a hidden family in China to attend the succession ceremony of the head of the family.

This was something that no one in the official had expected.

The existence of hidden families has a long history and is extremely mysterious.

The official has not thought about contacting these hidden families, but every time it is either a hard nail or a soft nail.

This time, the hidden family actually took the initiative to invite. The official felt a little flattered, but had to treat it with caution.

It must show the official's attention to this contact.

It must also show its own strength to a certain extent, and cannot be looked down upon or belittled by the people of the hidden family.

Therefore, after thinking again and again, Lin Honglong was sent.

But Lin Honglong really did not expect that the patriarch of this rumored hidden family, who has always lived in seclusion but has a profound influence on Xia Country, would be such a young person.

But he was not surprised for too long. He soon smiled and shook hands with Lin Shi:

"It is true that the Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves. The head of the Lin family is a dragon and phoenix!"

"Commander Lin, please come in."

"Okay, okay. You guys come in with me, and the others stay outside."

Lin Honglong pointed at a few people.

These men were strong and sturdy, with firm faces. It was obvious that they were extraordinary.

Lin Shi's eyes fell on the bulges on their waists.

"My little guys are used to carrying guns on weekdays. If the head of the Lin family minds, I will ask them to unload their guns, right?"

If Lin Shi disagreed, Lin Honglong would ask them to unload their guns immediately.

Lin Shi just smiled lightly and said:

"Please feel free."

I didn't expect Lin Shi to be so easy to talk to. Lin Honglong couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

As expected of the patriarch of a hidden family, he has such a magnanimous demeanor at such a young age.

"Please come in."

"Please."

Lin Honglong's people handed the carefully prepared gifts to the people at the door, and then the group entered the auditorium.

The auditorium is divided into the inner hall and the outer hall.

The inner hall is for the direct lineage of the four major families and the head of the family.

The outer hall is for the collateral descendants, some people from other forces, and some people who had business dealings with the former Qi family.

Most of them are collateral members of the Qi family who travel around the world.

There are a large number of people, many of whom are familiar or even well-known, and there are even people who have cooperated with the official.

When Lin Honglong followed Lin Shi into the inner hall of the auditorium, he saw the people sitting in the outer hall stand up and greet Lin Shi and Qi Qiuyue, and he was once again secretly surprised by the strength of the hidden family.

When entering the inner hall of the auditorium, it was much quieter.

But Lin Honglong knew that the people here were the ones he needed to treat with caution this time.

Qi Qiuyue took Lin Honglong to sit down.

Then the succession ceremony began.

A set of ceremonies is very similar to the ancient succession ceremony. Lin Shi patiently followed Qi Qiuyue to complete the whole set of procedures.

Lin Honglong then realized that it was the head of the Qi family, who was in his prime, who passed the position of head of the family to Lin Shi.

And changed the family name to "Lin".

Lin Honglong looked at Qi Qiuyue, who was still very young, and then looked at Lin Shi.

How capable is this young man to take over the position of head of the family from a prime head?

After officially announcing that Lin Shi became the head of the Lin family, Lin Shi also announced that Lin Rongxuan, Lin Mingzhen, and Lin Siyuan would all be direct descendants of the Lin family in the future.

Lin Shi did not ask other members of the Qi family to change their surnames. After all, the number of direct descendants of the Qi family was small due to Qi Wanshan's fertility problem.

The remaining direct descendants were only his uncle Qi Qiuyue, cousin Qi Yun, and another Qi Qiuheng.

As for Qi Qiuheng, he was already a dead man in Lin Shi's eyes.

After the ceremony was completed, it was natural to drink.

Lin Shi's physique was such that he could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.

After three rounds of drinking, Wang Tianyuan spoke.

"I wonder how the head of the Lin family plans to develop the future direction of the Lin family? This time he actually invited Commander Lin, I guess he has some plans, right?"

Wang Tianyuan really wanted to alienate the relationship between Lin Shi and the other two families. He hoped that Lin Shi would get closer to the official people and cause dissatisfaction among the other two families.

Since Wang Tianyuan said so, Lin Shi just followed Wang Tianyuan's words and said what he planned to do next.

"Indeed, I will indeed cooperate with the authorities next."

Lin Honglong was refreshed.

Li Hengli frowned.

He thought that Lin Shi was young and called the officials to come, just because of vanity, and wanted to show off his glory as the head of the hidden family.

The hidden family has been fighting with the authorities for thousands of years.

Therefore, they have always disagreed with cooperating with the authorities, and have been low-key and developing quietly.

"There is one thing I want to tell you all."

Lin Shi stood up.

"Ten thousand years ago, during the Ice Age, the source beasts were rampant. I believe that everyone here who knows the history of the hidden family knows it."

Wang Tianyuan said:

"This kind of thing is our family secret. How can the head of the Lin family say it in front of outsiders?"

"Listen to me first."

Lin Shi glanced at Wang Tianyuan.

This glance made Wang Tianyuan feel the power of a superior who far exceeded his own.

Wang Tianyuan was silent immediately.
