Upon returning to the family estate, Lin Chen and Su Yao immediately summoned the core members of the Lin Family—including Lin Tian, Lin Wan, Lin Xiao, and the family elders—to gather in the main assembly hall and discuss the monumental matter of forming an alliance with the Dragon Clan.
With a solemn expression, Lin Chen detailed everything he had witnessed within the Dragon Clan, as well as Long Ao's proposal. Hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought, leaving the hall so silent that the drop of a pin could be heard.
An elderly elder with white hair was the first to break the silence. Frowning slightly, he slowly said, "An alliance with the Dragon Clan would undoubtedly provide our family with a powerful backing when facing the complex and ever-changing situation, offering numerous opportunities for our development. However, we must also consider whether the Dragon Clan, with their immense strength, might interfere in our internal affairs after the alliance, thereby compromising our family's independence."
