Chapter 1072 Lin Family''s Damage Control
Once Yuan and Tian Yanyu left the scene, the guards began their investigation on the Passion Pce and questioned all of the workers there.
Yuan also told the young bandit to assist the guards before leaving, which made it a lot easier for the guards to identify the bandits, speeding up their investigation tremendously.
News of what happened at the Passion Pce quickly began spreading throughout the city like wildfire, and rumors of the Lin Family paying the Stone Bandits to mess with the Tian Family was amongst the news, which shocked the city.
This caused quite the bacsh for the Lin Family. Even though there wasn''t any direct bacsh, their family name was being dragged through the mud by being associated with the bandits, which was more than enough to make them lose face, and losing face is the worst thing that could happen to these influential families that only care about such things.
The Lin Family quickly went into damage control and tried their best to convince the people that the Stone Bandits were lying to mess with their reputation and that they weren''t trustworthy because, well, they were bandits, even going as far as spending money to spread it.
Although this did alleviate some of their troubles, not everyone believed it.
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! That fucking bitch Tian Yanyu! How dare she mess with us like this!" A handsome young man within the Lin Family kicked the table in front of him when he heard the news of Tian Yanyu dealing with the Stone Bandits, sending it along with everything on it flying across the room.
Things have gone so smoothly for him for the past few years that this sudden retaliation from the Tian Family had taken him byplete surprise.
"I swear I am going to make her regret defying me— the Lin Family!"
This handsome young man was Lin Minghai, who has been courting Tian Yanyu for thest few years without any sess.
"Young Master Lin, please calm down. If we act against the Tian Family now, it would only solidify the rumors that we''re working with the Stone Bandits." The servant of the Lin Family said to him.
"Are you telling me to just sit here and let that bitch spit on my face?! I refuse!" Lin Minghai roared.
"I did not say that, Young Master. I''m just saying that there are better ways to go around this. For example, you can use this chance to visit the Tian Family and demandpensation for ruining the Lin Family''s reputation."
"Hahaha! This is a great idea, Steward Jin!" Lin Minghaiughed out loud.
"Prepare the guards! We''re going to visit the Tian Family right now!"
Meanwhile, at the Tian Family, Tian Xianzu was in disbelief after hearing about the situation from his daughter.
"We not only dealt with the hooligans, but we even cleaned out the infamous Stone Bandits in half a day! Yuan is the real deal! He will definitely be able to help us get the Lin Family off our backs!" Tian Yanyu spoke with intense excitement, as this incident had relieved a lot of her built up stress.
''Is this what victory feels like?'' She tightly gripped her hands into fists.
"This is just the beginning." Yuan suddenly said. "Now that we''ve taken care of the bandits, one of three things will happen."Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.
"One, the Lin Family will pretend it never happened and not bother us for a bit. Two, they could send more people to mess with us, or they wille to us directly."
"Personally, I would prefer it if they directly came to us, as that would make things easier."
Tian Xianzu sighed, "Regardless of their actions, they will not forget what happened today and will definitely try to get revenge. In their eyes, even though we only dealt with the hooligans, we had indirectly defied them, which isn''t any different from directly defying them."
He turned to look at Yuan and continued, "I really hope you know what you''re doing, because if things go south, your little antics will mark the end of our Tian Family."
Yuan smiled, "Don''t worry, I will keep the Tian Family safe even if I have to wipe out the Seven Legacy Families in order to do so."
"You… I know you''re powerful, but how can you say such a thing so casually? The more you go against the Seven Legacy Families the more they will retaliate. If they cannot handle you in this world, they will send people from the upper heavens down here. This is the main reason why nobody dares to mess with them, unless you also have a family in the upper heaven, such as the Four Ancient Families." Tian Yanyu said.
"Because this is not my first time confronting one of the Seven Legacy Families." Yuan calmly responded, leaving them speechless.
''Dear heaven, what have we gotten ourselves into…? Just who is this young man?'' Tian Xianzu cried inwardly.
Meanwhile, inside a sect somewhere in the Third Heaven.
"E-Elder Suyin! This is an emergency!" A middle-aged man hastily approached a beautiful middle-aged woman in a square with a nervous look on his face.
The middle-aged woman stopped lecturing her disciples and turned to look at the middle-aged man, "Elder Long? What happened?"
"This is about your family! I have just received news that your daughter, Tian Yanyu, had caused amotion, which resulted in the Lin Family losing a tremendous amount of face!"
"What?! What did my silly daughter do?!" Elder Suyin, also known as Tian Suyin and who was Tian Yanyu''s mother, eximed.
Elder Long proceeded to exin the whole incident between Tian Yanyu and the Stone Bandits to Tian Suyin.
"That foolish girl! I warned her countless times to not mess with the Lin Family and just ignore them!" Tian Suyin gritted her teeth in frustration after learning about the situation.
"I''m going to return home for a bit. Can you let the Sect Leader know about my situation?" She then said.
"Of course." Elder Long nodded.
After dismissing her disciples, Tian Suyin left her sect and rushed back to the Silver Heaven City.
