This is exactly why the Song Family has been able to stand out among the nearly hundred families today and qualify to compete for the position of Elder Council elder.
But right at this crucial moment, Seventh Brother had an incident. The reason for the incident was merely because a junior member of the family was killed, and the culprit came from a seemingly insignificant force.
He was all too familiar with this scene, so familiar that it couldn’t be more familiar.
The chubby old man’s face also changed, and he nervously looked at him, "Second Brother, do you mean someone is targeting our Song Family?"
"Don’t panic."
Seeing the few people looking towards him, the tall and thin old man understood that in the Song Family, everyone could panic, but not him. Because he was the backbone of the Song Family, any slight mistake and the giant ship of the Song Family would sink.
The other families hidden in the dark, like sharks smelling blood, would swarm and tear the Song Family apart.
"This is just the worst-case scenario. Even if things are indeed like this, there’s no need to panic. Our Song Family is not comparable to those other families. If they want to take us down, they better have the teeth for it."
"Second Brother is right!"
The chubby old man regained his previous violent demeanor, "If they dare to target our Song Family, I will risk my life to drag one of them down with me!"
Song Yuan, standing nearby, was scared out of his wits.
Could it be that the situation has gotten this dire?
An invisible net was closing in on the Song Family.
"The two ancestors are right. If that’s indeed the case, Lianfeng won’t hesitate to sacrifice his life, and will fight that hidden enemy to the end!" Song Lianfeng also gritted his teeth and said.
In his heart, he had long prioritized the safety of the family above himself. After all, he had benefited greatly from the family.
Just like Song Tian before, willing to sacrifice his life for the sake of the family.
But if it were someone of ordinary status or even no status at all in the Song Family, the result would be different.
"Hmm, it’s enough that you have this thought. Our nurturing of you has not been in vain." The tall and thin old man said, his brows filled with worry.
Now they were in the open, while the enemy was hidden.
If the two of them immediately went to the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association, it would most likely fall into the enemy’s trap, just as Lianfeng had said.
But doing nothing here wasn’t an option either?
First, the whereabouts of Seventh Brother were unknown. If they didn’t hurry to find him, it might be a corpse they find if they delayed too long.
Second, this incident had blown up and all the noble families in Yan Country were watching them. If they showed no action, they would become the laughing stock of the entire world.
Seeing the worries on the face of the tall and thin old man, Song Lianfeng proactively said, "Second Granduncle, Sixth Granduncle, if things are as Lianfeng suspects, then your actions are likely under the enemy’s surveillance. It would be better if I went to gather information first to see what’s really happening."
"This..."
The two old men exchanged a look, realizing there was some reasoning in his words.
After all, wasn’t Seventh Brother the one who fell into the enemy’s trap because he didn’t understand the situation clearly and was careless for a moment?
"Lianfeng, be careful."
The tall and thin old man advised, "If there’s indeed someone scheming against our Song Family, from the moment you leave, they will watch your every move. One mistake and your life could be in danger."
"Exactly."
The chubby old man also nodded.
"Thank you both for your concern. If that’s the case, Lianfeng would not want it any other way."
The two old men were stunned for a moment but quickly understood what he meant.
He intended to use himself as bait to draw out the hidden enemy!
"Good child."
