"Damn it, thirty million? You might as well tell him to go rob someone!"
Upon hearing the figure, Wu Sande was furious.
Lin Changsheng said cautiously, "Shanzhu has just risen to power and is in the phase of establishing his authority and making a name for himself, so his appearance fee is naturally high. Moreover, Master, things have two sides. If we seek his help now, it's equivalent to giving him a hand when he's not yet stable. Once he solidifies his position as the boss of the South City, he will surely reciprocate. Therefore, although thirty million is not a small sum, in my opinion, it is very worthwhile."
Wu Sande snorted, "Lin Changsheng, how are you becoming more foolish? You've been living in comfort all these years; has your brain gone soft?"
"Do you think I, Wu Sande, lack this mere thirty million? If Zuo Tianyou were asking for so much, it would be one thing. But Shanzhu is not yet stable; why should I give him so much money? How much is Shanzhu's friendship worth? Let others be the suckers; my Wu family will never be!"
"Moreover, Lin Changsheng, I, Wu Sande, have not treated you poorly, have I? The money I've spent on your Twin Blades Sect over the years amounts to hundreds of millions. Today, you can't even deal with a brat from Jiangcheng? What use do I have for you then?"
Hearing this, Lin Changsheng's expression changed, and he became nervous.
"Master, I didn't say I'm definitely not that brat's match. According to Zijie, that brat is only in his early twenties. Even if he started practicing from the womb, how strong can he be?"
Wu Sande smiled slightly, "That's more like it. Since that's the case, then disperse. Everyone must be present tomorrow, so that brat has no return, and avenges my grandson!"
Lin Changsheng pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Master, why wait until tomorrow? If you let that brat attack our home, even if we kill him, it won't be glorious for the Wu family. Please wait for me for half an hour. I'll go to the hotel, cut off that brat's head, and then return to see you!"
Wu Sande clapped his hands in approval, "Good, revenge before nightfall; this is the spirit of you, Lin Changsheng. However, you are ultimately alone and outnumbered. Take all the disciples of the Twin Blades Sect with you, and let the people of the provincial government see the might of my Wu family!"
Lin Changsheng's expression faltered slightly, then he said, "Master, I don't think that's necessary. Dealing with that brat, I am enough. Besides, too many people might alert the enemy!"
Wu Sande nodded, "Very well. In any case, you are the sect master of the Twin Blades Sect, so you decide how to proceed. All I want is a result!"
Lin Changsheng's face lit up with joy.
"Yes, Master, just wait for my good news!"
However, at this moment, Lin Zijie suddenly cupped his hands and said, "Master, take me with you. I was ambushed by that brat today and didn't even get to use my full abilities. Besides, why use a cleaver to kill a chicken? Dealing with that brat doesn't require you to personally act."
Lin Changsheng's face turned stern. He thought to himself that Lin Zijie was truly brainless. Making him the chief disciple was a last resort. If Lin Zicong were still here, he would never be so clueless.
However, since Lin Zijie had put it this way, it was difficult for him to refuse, so he could only agree.
"Alright, you can accompany your master on this trip!"
With that, Lin Changsheng strode away, and Lin Zijie followed him with excitement.
Watching the master and disciple leave the assembly hall, Wu Sande finally showed a satisfied expression.
Wu Meili walked over and said, "Dad, do you think that brat is dead for sure this time?"
Wu Sande snorted, "Naturally. Lin Changsheng is personally taking action, so what is there to worry about?"
"It's a good opportunity to put Lin Changsheng in his place. He's been slacking off in my Wu family all these years, leaving all the work to his disciples. Today, he even wants me to pay outsiders. He's getting more and more presumptuous!"
Wu Meili snorted, "This Lin Changsheng, he's gotten arrogant because he has some skills. I think you should quickly support Lin Zijie to take over. He is one of our own! Lin Changsheng is an ungrateful dog."
Wu Sande glared coldly at his daughter, "Shut up, Wu family affairs are not for a woman to dictate!"
He knew that his foolish daughter was involved with Lin Zijie. His daughter had been promiscuous since she was young, and he could only turn a blind eye.
But if Lin Zijie thought that by clinging to Wu Meili he could successfully rise to power, he was gravely mistaken!
On the other side, Lin Changsheng and Lin Zijie were already on their way by car.
However, as they drove, Lin Zijie suddenly felt something was wrong. He asked, "Master, did you take the wrong road? The hotel isn't in this direction."
"Oh, really? It's not in this direction?"
"Of course not. Master, you're driving in the opposite direction. You haven't really become senile like the Master said, have you?"
Lin Zijie said carelessly. He felt that he had already become the chief disciple and, with Wu Meili backing him, he was already starting to look down on Lin Changsheng, his master.
"Oh, so I was going the wrong way! No wonder I felt something was off,"
Lin Changsheng mumbled, then turned at the intersection ahead. After turning, he suddenly stopped.
Outside was a half-finished construction site. Lin Changsheng said in a commanding tone, "Get out of the car."
"Master, aren't we going to kill Chen Xiao? Why are we getting out here?"
"Get out of the car when I tell you to. Why so much nonsense? Are you not even listening to your master anymore?"
In the end, Lin Zijie obediently got out of the car. After all, Lin Changsheng was still the sect master.
Lin Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the moonlight in the sky, and suddenly asked, "Zijie, how do you think your master has treated you?"
Lin Zijie finally understood. It seemed his master wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with him. Was his master retiring and wanting to hand over the Twin Blades Sect to him?
Thinking of this, Lin Zijie suddenly felt a surge of excitement, "Master, you've been nothing but good to your disciple. Without you, I, Lin Zijie, would not be where I am today. I was abandoned by my parents when I was young; you are my reborn parents!"
Lin Changsheng smiled and nodded, then said, "Since your master has been so good to you, can you do something for your master?"
"Of course, Master. Let alone one thing, even ten or a hundred things are not a problem! Your disciple will definitely fulfill them for you."
Lin Zijie became more and more excited as he listened, thinking that his master was going to pass on the position of sect master to him.
"Yes, your master knows you are the most filial, unlike Lin Zicong, that ungrateful little bastard!"
"That's right, that traitor Lin Zicong can't compare to me. But Master, what is it you want me to do?"
Lin Changsheng let out a cold laugh, and a murderous intent suddenly appeared on his face.
"What I want you to do is to die for me!"
