Chapter 286 The Clan's Confrontation

Everyone was paying attention to Li Mu, wanting to hear his explanation.

"The first reason is that I can't eat it, such a large amount of wealth, no matter which family wants to swallow it privately, they can't do it to avoid people's ears, and inevitably it will leak out, and I don't want to lose the tranquility of the old days because of this matter, and let my family get into a fight."

The crowd nodded, this was indeed a reason, not to mention the fact that some clans knew about this matter and had been pushing Lin Wan to give a statement again.

Even if the families are not clear about the details, such a large amount of wealth, no matter which family goes treasure hunting, can not do a little wind will not leak.

Once the other clans were informed of the truth, they would surely incur a swarm of attacks, and the final result would surely be a life of treasure-seeking, but no life of enjoyment.

Li Mu tapped his finger on the map, pointed to a small line at the top, and said to the others, "None of you have paid attention to this line, have you, and this is the second reason why I chose to cooperate."

The crowd looked closely and realized that the line had only four words, "Ten Dragons Gathering!"

"Ten dragons gathering?" Cheng Kunan muttered, "Shiyi nephew, what does this phrase mean?"

"Uncle Cheng, do you remember two centuries upwards, before the Eight Families, in the Jianghu, there used to be the title of the Ten Tigers of the Southern Ocean circulating!"

The crowd came to a sudden realization, and Cheng Kunan said in surprise, "This sentence means that if you want to search for the treasure, you must gather the descendants of all ten clans?"

"That's right!"

Shao Danzhou said bitterly, "This is a problem, the Shen family is the Shen family, has returned to the South Seas, the Chu family has long been extinguished, where is there a descendant of the Chu family?"

The master mused, "Everyone, this matter is of great importance, I suggest that each family spread their people widely, looking for the Chu family's descendants all over the world. Although the Chu family perished, do not see the clan all dead, there must be refuge folk Chu family members, we must find them."

Everyone has said yes, now can only do so, hope to rush before the departure, as soon as possible to find the Chu family, otherwise, go is also in vain.

Li Mu said to the crowd, "Let's do it this way, on the one hand, each family will work together to search for the Chu Family descendants and find them as soon as possible. On the other hand, after the Family Assembly is over, each family will immediately start making preparations, and one month later, they will depart on time."

None of the family heads had any objections to this arrangement, and they agreed on some more details together before dispersing.

The two maps on the table were unceremoniously taken away by Little Brother Li.

The first day of the Family Assembly came to an end in a peaceful atmosphere.

The heads of the nine families returned to their own camps and held small family meetings.

Inside the Lin Family camp, Third Uncle and the others had sullen faces, and after listening to Lin Wan's introduction, they immediately chided, "Little Wan, why didn't you notify us in time for such a big event?"

Without waiting for Lin Wan to reply, Sister Hong said with a smile, "Third Uncle, you were busy with the clan meeting, how could we inform you?"

Uncle Sam was too angry to speak.

Red sister-in-law's meaning is very obvious, we are half a catty to eight taels, we hid the treasure map from you, don't you also hide the clan meeting from us.

Let's crow on a black pig, and no one should laugh at the blackness.

Uncle Six said from the side, "Such an important matter should be notified to the Clan Elders Council at the first opportunity, you are after all members of the Lin family, you shouldn't hide this matter from the clan."

Lin Wan calmly replied, "Sixth Uncle, have you forgotten that this is a secret passed down by word of mouth from the family head, who am I to tell the clan?"

"Then why did you tell your husband that he wasn't a Lin family after all?"

"He's not a member of the Lin family, but a member of the Shen family, he was informed of the secrets of the map from the Shen family, I'm proofreading the treasure map with the Shen family, what's wrong with that?"

A few Lin family elders were disliked and left speechless, the other party had a point, and for them to continue to nitpick would be irrational.

Because people are right, you are not the head of the family, why should you tell you the secrets of the hidden treasure?

You don't recognize Li Mu as a member of the Lin family, the Shen family recognizes Li Mu as a member of the Shen family, and they have no secrets from Li Mu, so what's in your way?

What does it matter to you that the heads of the Lin and Shen families each own half a copy of the map, and that the two parties merged into one before the Family Assembly to jointly calibrate it?

These are all things that the family head has to do, you are only the clan elders of the Lin family, not the family head of the Lin family, does it mean that the family head of the Lin family needs to report to you no matter what he does?

Uncle Five rushed to round up the conversation.

"Everyone, this matter doesn't need to be discussed anymore, this is the family head's private matter, it doesn't matter if we know about it sooner or later, let's just discuss about tomorrow's competition!"

Third uncle went down the slope and said to the others, "Fifth brother is right, after all, this matter is a secret that only the head of the family can know about, it is unreasonable for us to pick on this reasoning, Xiaowan, I'm just curious about one thing, how did you obtain knowledge of this matter?"

Lin Wan smiled bashfully and replied graciously, "I can tell you this answer, since I was a child, every once in a while, I would have a dream, and in the dream, a voice would repeatedly mention about the treasure, and I couldn't even if I wanted to not listen to it."

Understood, this should be the Family Master's Inheritance, a technique that only the Family Master knows.

There was no need to ask, the spell caster was definitely Lin Wan's father, the previous family head, Lin Pu Tian.

Uncle Sam and the others stopped dwelling on the issue, and if they continued to dwell on it, they were clearly crossing the line.

That being said, the line had now been crossed, and aside from the fifth uncle, who of them, the so-called old men, had Lin Wan, the head of the family, truly in their eyes.

Ninth Uncle said, "Third Brother, in this way, the proportion of each family's interest, becomes even more important, after all, it involves the final distribution of a large sum of wealth, everyone wants to pay no attention to it."

Everyone nodded their heads, and Uncle Six said, "I'm certain that tomorrow's competition scene will be very intense, and our Lin Family must be prepared to strive to retain our existing interests, and, moreover, take advantage of the opportunity to seize the interests of other families."

Uncle Sam has some regrets.

Had I known this, I wouldn't have rushed against Li Mu.

People have gone to the Shen family now, and I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to get him to help the Lin family again.

The point is, can't open that mouth.

Lin Wan listened quietly, not taking a stand from start to finish, as if what was going to happen tomorrow had nothing to do with her, she was just an ordinary spectator.

The Lin family elders were talking and discussing, from time to time, they used their eyes to look at Lin Wan, the latter was old and relaxed, you guys talk about yourselves, I pondered over my own matters of the heart.

Third Uncle really couldn't help himself and asked Lin Wan, "Little Wan, is there any arrangement on Auntie's side?"

"He will fight on behalf of the Shen family!" Lin Wan's reply was concise.

"This, it's not quite right!"

"What's so inappropriate, you all saw today, he is perfectly capable of being the master of the Shen family, moreover, the other families already regard him as a member of the Shen family, isn't it a reasonable thing for him to contribute to the Shen family?"

The tent fell into silence as a few clan elders weighed their words, preparing to persuade Lin Wan to call the aunt back from the Shen family.

Just then, Lin Kun walked in from outside the tent, passed a glance towards Sister Hong, and then burrowed out of the tent again.

Sister Hong understood, and without moving, she got up and quietly left the tent.

Outside the camp, Lin Kun tugged Sister Hong to an isolated spot and whispered, "Sister Hong, something big has happened?"

Sister Hong was startled and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

"Uncle San and the others want to harm Sister Wan and her brother-in-law, and they plan to create an air crash when they go back, so that the helicopter that Sister Wan is traveling in crashes into the ocean."

Sister-in-law Hong was so frightened that her hairs stood on end and she looked straight at Lin Kun, who shook her arm and asked anxiously, "Sister-in-law Hong, what should we do?"

Sister Hong took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down as she asked Lin Kun, "Is this news accurate?"

"A thousand times true, it's one of Third Uncle's beloved, his conscience is really uneasy, he secretly told me the news, Sister Hong, their side of the dead soldiers have been found, just waiting for the end of the family assembly to make a move!"

"Who's involved in this whole thing?"

"Only the Fifth Uncle and his wife don't know about it!"

"I know, you should not leave the camp so as not to be suspected by them. Tomorrow, when people are not paying attention, look for the Shen family to inform them, and ask them to make sure to notify your aunt of the news, and after the conference is over, we'll leave on the Shen family's boat."

"Understood!"

The two parted ways on this, and Sister Red returned to her tent with a great deal of grace and continued to attend the so-called Lin family meeting.

A few Lin family elders rambled on for half a day, but Lin Wan just ignored them.

Her attitude is very clear, you want to call people back no problem, I certainly do not oppose, but well, you go to call, I do not go.

Third Uncle finally said, "Master Aunt has already represented the Shen Family, and it is indeed a bit unjustifiable in terms of sense and reason for us to call the person back now. Let's do it this way, when the family assembly is over, we'll ask Master Aunt to come home with us and discuss the treasure hunt together, Xiaowan, what do you think?"

"Yes!" Lin Wan agreed painfully.

She had been ready to call her husband back.

After the Family Assembly was over, even if Third Uncle didn't say anything, she wouldn't allow her husband to remain stranded in the Shen family.

The crowd left the tent with satisfaction, and seeing that it was already late, Lin Wan and Sister Hong simply washed up and lay down to rest together.

Sister-in-law Hong was really able to keep her composure until the day dawned, and only then did she quietly poke Lin Wan awake.

Years of experience in the jungle caused Lin Wan to immediately realize that something was wrong, she calmly looked at Sister Hong and did not make a sound.

Sister Hong attached herself to her ear and said quietly, "Lin Pu Zhou is preparing to harm people, Lao Liu and Lao Jiu are accomplices, go with your aunt after the conference, don't take the airplane."

Lin Wan didn't ask anything, closing her eyes and pretending to sleep, but her heart was rippling.

She hadn't expected her relatives to be ready to turn on her; her kindness, after all, had been misplaced.

Early in the morning, a member of the clan came to Third Uncle's tent, and the latter asked, "Is there any movement on Dantong's side?"

"No, everything's fine!"

Without saying anything else, Uncle Sam waved his hand to signal the clan to go out, and after a while of silence alone, he let out a long sigh.
