Ying Xuan and Zhang Haoran were stunned, then said, "What's up, Old Lin? Do you have a problem with us brothers? Everyone else is busy, and we're just idle."
Lin Zhan looked at Ying Xuan and Zhang Haoran, thinking: You two idiots, you finally spoke.
"Who said that? I have something very important, which I've saved specifically for you two. Only you two can complete this task."
Ying Xuan and Zhang Haoran exchanged glances: Mm, Old Lin is considerate. We knew the big shots would be mentioned last.
Seeing the excited look in Ying Xuan and Zhang Haoran's eyes, and the curious faces of everyone present, Lin Zhan grinned and said to the two young Taoists, Zhang Haoming:
"Brother-in-law, quickly get two wooden sticks for your two older brothers. The suicide squad will rely on them to lead the charge later."
Ying Xuan...
Zhang Haoran...
Ying Xuan and Zhang Haoran: ...Damn it, this kid is really...
"Old Ancestor, it's only your place left. We're counting on you, Old Ancestor, to help produce more of our number 5 missiles," Lin Zhan said fawningly to Ying Zheng and Zhang Qingxuan.
Ying Zheng nodded and said:
"Don't worry, kid. You've bet the entire Lin family; I can't let you down. Oh, and tell the Iron-Eating Beast clan to send over a few more Beast Kings, otherwise, our alloy shells won't keep up."
"Furthermore, the arsenal has discovered that the alloy produced by the Iron-Eating Beasts is far superior to our own smelted alloy in many aspects. You're familiar with these stubborn fellows, so it would be even better if you could arrange for more to be sent."
"Don't worry, Old Ancestor. I'll arrange it tomorrow. This is a minor matter. The five Beast Emperors of the Iron-Eating Beast clan are all staying with me."
Lin Zhan saw that everyone was reasonably settled and said with a smile:
"Alright, the official business is done. Brothers and sisters, eat and drink as you please. If you don't have a partner, be proactive. As for Old Ying and Haoran, I think you two can make do. It's quite good."
"Hahaha, I agree. Old Ying and Old Zhang are a match made in heaven, destined for each other."
"Get lost, Meng Gang! How dare you laugh at me? Aren't you also single?" Ying Xuan said grumpily to Meng Gang.
"Alright, brothers, let Old Ying and his matters be their own research. Now, let's focus on me," Lin Zhan said to the laughing crowd.
"Two things. First, starting tomorrow, all of you go out and find doctors, especially the Hua family, one of the Four Great Divine Doctor families of the Human Race. Dig three feet into the ground if you have to, but find them. Spread the word that I was wounded in the soul by an Emperor-level Necromancer last time and have at most one or two years to live."
"Second, spread the word that although I don't have long to live, the Great Shang Ancestor has personally decreed that I must continue the bloodline and am preparing to take a concubine."
Lin Zhan saw Zhang Cong, Da Zhuang, and Er Zhuang about to flip the table and quickly said:
"You guys behave. This is all fake. Once people arrive, your eldest sister-in-law will manage them. And I've already discussed this with your eldest sister-in-law. Don't act like you're going to rebel. What, do you all really want to be the boss?"
Zhang Cong and the others sat down again after hearing Lin Zhan's words:
"Damn, why not be the boss? Who's afraid of that? At most, we'll take you, this heartless, fickle, abandoning bastard, down, and we brothers will help Haoming ascend to the throne early."
"Zhang Da Lengzi, who are you calling a bastard? What did I do to you?" Xiao Hei said grumpily from the side.
Zhang Cong looked back and knew he couldn't beat this turtle, so he quickly said:
"Holy crap, Brother Hei, my apologies. I didn't mean you. I meant to say that Old Lin, that ungrateful bastard."
Xiao Hei was stunned. Then he said, "Damn it, you're still scolding me, aren't you?"
"Brother Hei, Brother Hei, don't hit me, it's a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding."
Zhang Cong immediately backed down, as he knew that this Black Turtle could fight opponents of higher levels, and his own Golden peak physique was no match for one of Xiao Hei's claws.
"Alright, you little punks, stop causing trouble," Liu Che said.
Then he turned to Lin Zhan and said, "Kid Lin, are you planning to just put on a show, or do you intend to make the act real?"
Lin Zhan quickly pulled Zhang Lingxiu closer and said, "Old Ancestor, this is just to mislead people. My heart is small; it can only hold Lingxiu. Having her is enough for a lifetime."
Zhang Lingxiu looked at the "little brother" with a silly grin and said affectionately:
"Husband, we'll share the same bed in life and the same coffin in death. No matter where you go, I'll accompany you."
Ying Zheng, standing nearby, looked at Liu Xiu and chuckled:
"Kid, your little plan has gone down the drain this time, hasn't it? Even if your Liu family has a beautiful maiden, what of it? Kid Lin only takes one sip from the three thousand weak waters, leaving you with no options."
Liu Che glared at Ying Zheng and said indignantly:
"So what if my Liu family has many young women? My Liu family is just numerous. If you don't believe it, let's compare. We can gather a crowd of Kings. What, aren't you envious?"
Ying Zheng was stunned by the retort: "Fine, your Liu family is numerous. You're amazing, alright."
