The Lin clan

Once considered as one of the 4 great clans who helped the first founder of the zhu empire.

It could be said that the 4 clans were once powerful. In the legends left, they said that each clan head had at the very least reached the martial lord realm.

After establishing the Zhu dynasty, the 4 clans rose in power. The emperor gifted each one of them a district to rule over in the imperial capital and some domains.

The Imperial Palace in the center

The Ye clan governed the north

The Lin clan governed the south

The Yun clan governed the west

and the Xiao clan governed the east

They were considered as the top clans, those who have the right to govern others and establish themselves in the imperial capital, and the privilege to defend the Zhu dynasty from every threat.

However, reality is sometimes harsh.

In the last 200 years, the 4 great clans gave birth to multiple geniuses, only the Lin clan was an exception.

And from that time till now, the other clans conspired against the Lin clan, and finally drove him away from the imperial capital taking at the same time their power, influence, and territories.

The last clan head was Lin Fang, he was now over 40 years old, he was stuck at the 9th level of the Mortal stage .

With their power and influence stolen from them, the Lin clan fled to their last domain, in the small city Bowen.

Time flew by, little Mei was now 10 years old,

She was a small but intellectual child, her father taught her many books about cultivation ever since she began to speak.

As a result, she managed to reach the 8th level of the warrior realm in just 5 years of cultivation. She was labelled as a genius

On her free time, she visited her older brother Lin Chen.

" Brother, can i come in? "

" ..... "

She slowly opened the door and entered the dark and silent room.

" ... brother, i've brought you some books to read and some food, the servants told me that you haven't eaten anything today , what happened? "

" ..... "

She approched him, and saw some bruises over his face.

" Brother! who did this to you? is it the young master of the wang clan again?! "

Lin Chen replied with a sad looking face and a forced smile

" Little sis, don't bother. I'm just a trash who can't even practice martial art, just.... stay away from me from now on please... "

Lin Chen was 14 years old, ever since his birth , he had broken meridians so he couldn't practice martial art and succeed his father.

Lin Fang of course tried everything he could to fix his son's problem, he even bought a heaven's pill from an alchemist within the capital to forcefully make Lin Chen breaktrough, but sadly the result was none.

As a result, the people from the small city Bowen insulted and beat him up, even in the Lin clan some servants and some clan members had disdain over their faces when then met him and labelled him as a trash.

He led a life full of solitude, only little Mei came often to talk to him and pass some time with him.

" Brother, don't worry , if i go talk to father maybe he will... "

Lin Chen shouted in a hurry

" DON'T!"

Little Mei was frightened, not because of her brothers shout. She dearly loved him, and she couldn't bare to see him pass his days like this.

" Brother, don't despair! Someday, i will find a cure to your broken meridians, maybe then .... father will acknowledge you ! "

In the clan hall,

Lin Fang was currently in bad mood, he was sitting on his chair contemplating a lettre, his hands were crumpling the piece of paper.

" The Wang clan rejected our proposal to unite under a single banner, but not only that. They made a proposition to not only unite under their clan's name, but to make little Mei the bride of their young master! "

He tore the letter and threw it at the floor, then sighted.

" Ziyun ... my dear wife, if you were still alive what would you do if i accept their proposal ... "
