"Are we just going to let them sling mud at us like this?" Lin Yongfeng asked indignantly. "Our Lin Family has been established in Dongjiang Province for decades. Is there really nothing we can do?"
Someone couldn't resist speaking up, "What about Grandmaster Ren…?"
Lin Zhen frowned. "No matter what happens, Grandmaster Ren must not be dragged into this."
It wasn't just them. In fact, the instigators of this smear campaign had shown the same restraint.
Let alone Grandmaster Ren, even Su Yueling's name wasn't mentioned. The public discourse never touched upon the background of the person to whom the Lin Family had transferred the spot.
At this stage, the situation wasn't beyond saving. But if a Grandmaster were to be implicated, whoever was responsible would surely face a powerful crackdown from the Federation officials.
Squabbling amongst themselves wasn't a huge problem, but Grandmasters were the true cornerstones of the Federation. They were not to be trifled with.
