Octavius cried loudly at his ancestor's words, "Ancestor, I was wrong. I am willing to die to atone for my sins. Please do not implicate the family."
Lin Zhan grinned at Caesar and said, "Lord Caesar, what you said is indeed moving. But you should also understand the importance of the battle against the ten thousand races in a year's time. Who can guarantee that your Caesar family will not stab me in the back because of today's events? I cannot gamble with my family, let alone the lives of millions of human warriors on whether your Caesar family will betray us."
"To put it more bluntly, I don't trust you. China and the Roman Holy See do not have a good relationship. Your family belongs to the same special administrative region as the Holy See. How can I be at ease? This fool is just a fuse. If it weren't for my elders stopping me, I would have attacked your Roman special administrative region first," Lin Zhan said to Caesar, pointing at Octavius.
The others were also startled by Lin Zhan's words. It turned out that Lin Zhan had long wanted to destroy Rome and was just looking for an excuse when Octavius, the fool, ran into his gun.
He then began to laugh sadly, "Haha, it is not unjust for the Caesar family to fall into your hands."
He then said to Emperor Xin, "Your Great Shang has a good son, and China will also have a good king in the future."
Just as Caesar was about to order his family members to commit suicide to preserve their honor, a woman, young yet appearing very dignified and noble, appeared on the video communicator.
Zhang Lingxiu greeted the Chinese kings on the video, saying, "Greetings, all ancestors. I hope you are well. Lord Caesar, please do not mind what happened just now. The loyalty of the Caesar family to humanity is something we have all seen. Lin Zhan's words were inappropriate just now. We ask for the Caesar family's understanding."
Then Zhang Lingxiu said to Emperor Xin, "Ancestor, we still need to trouble you to help resolve the remaining matters. Since returning from the battlefield, Lin Zhan has been very insecure and is only focused on eliminating Rommel's allied forces. We hope that Ancestor can help smooth over the troubles he has caused. I, Lingxiu, will take my leave now. I will escort Lin Zhan away."
After Zhang Lingxiu finished speaking to the communicator, she walked to Lin Wufa's side and performed a junior's bow, saying, "Lingxiu greets Second Grandfather and both ancestors. Thank you all for looking after Lin Zhan. Lingxiu expresses her gratitude."
Lin Wufa nodded and said, "Girl, there's no need for such polite words. It's good that you and Zhan'er are safe. The rest is up to us old folks."
Zhang Lingxiu smiled and turned to the young Taoist Zhang Haoming, saying, "Haoming, you will handle the unfinished business of your elder brother. The rest of you brothers, go and choose your residences first. We represent the top aristocratic families of China. We must not bully others with our status, nor can we diminish the prestige of China. Brothers, please rest well for two days. After that, it will be time for us to study."
"Husband, come back with me to set up the room. You are killing this one today and attacking that one tomorrow. How many races are there? Can you kill them all? Now you just need to live and study obediently," Zhang Lingxiu said, pinching Lin Zhan's ear and walking towards the villa on the mountaintop.
Walking up to Octavius, she glanced at him with disdain and said to Lin Yi, "Lin Yi, clean up this troublemaking trash, and then tidy this place up."
Only when Zhang Lingxiu's figure could no longer be seen did the beasts of the Chinese team dare to speak.
Ying Xuan said with trepidation, "I never realized before that Sister Lingxiu has such a strong aura. Good heavens, she handled Lin Laohai like he was a grandson."
He Dazhuang also had a constipated expression and said, "If Anya were as fierce as Sister Lingxiu, who would dare to take a concubine?"
The beasts looked at He Dazhuang as if he were an idiot. "Big Tiger, do you really dare to take this seriously? Do you believe that the girls Sister Lingxiu trained would rather become widows tomorrow if you dared to mention taking a concubine today? Stop daydreaming and use your brain."
Lin Wufa and the others, who had flown back to the dean's office, thought of the Lin family's eldest grandson's wife, who had been so imposing just now.
Liu Che looked at Lin Wufa with a pained expression and could only say helplessly, "Wufa, regarding Zhan'er taking a Liu family woman as a concubine, I think we should reconsider. Anyway, Zhan'er is still young, so there's no rush."
Lin Wufa nodded nimbly, "Yes, yes, Old Ancestor Che is right. Zhan'er is still young, and we are not in a hurry, not in a hurry."
In the Human King's Hall, Caesar wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said to Emperor Xin, "Human King Ancestor Dixing, are we safe now? This kid Lin Zhan is too unreasonable. Fortunately, you thought of such a good way to invite this girl out."
Emperor Xin, with the air of a reclusive master, said, "Your trouble is definitely over. However, didn't Xiu Ya Tou assign Haoming to this matter just now? You still have to shed some blood. Since Zhan'er is forming an army, you should contribute some military funds."
Caesar hurriedly nodded and said happily, "Ancestor Dixing, don't worry. I will contribute half of the Caesar family's assets as military funds for Lin Zhan. It is all for humanity, and it is what we should do."
"That's good. I have to go to the new legion now, so I'll be leaving," Emperor Xin said and left immediately.
Caesar said to the three great generals Bai Qi, Wang Jian, and Meng Tian, "I also need to return to my family to resolve Octavius's matters and raise military funds. Generals, I bid you farewell for now."
Watching Caesar leave, the three great generals Bai Qi, Wang Jian, and Meng Tian exchanged glances and said, "This foolish idiot is truly being sold and still counting the money for the seller. Now Lin kid's military funds are sufficient, and China didn't spend a cent to form another large legion."
Wang Jian, with seasoned prudence, said, "We can't blame this young chap for being brainless. It's just that the old and young foxes are too cunning. Can the prey they target escape?"
Zhang Lingxiu brought Lin Zhan back to the villa on the mountaintop and said gently, "Husband, what happened just now? Seeing you like this, it seems you had to attack the Roman special administrative region. This is not what you discussed with the ancestors."
Lin Zhan said with a hint of helplessness, "Originally, I planned to use the Caesar family's name to transfer the Zhenlei and Xunfeng legions to the Roman special administrative region, then extort a sum from the Caesar family, and then directly attack the Holy See. It would take at most a week to destroy the Holy See and integrate the entire Roman special administrative region."
"Ever since I came back, I have been looking for excuses to make a move. I even planned to use the matter with the An family as an excuse to fight on two fronts, but the ancestors did not agree. I had no choice but to seize this opportunity to act, but I still didn't succeed."
Zhang Lingxiu glared with her beautiful eyes, "So, you and the ancestors were just fooling the Caesar family, this fool?"
