At this moment, with his accusations, the others also put pressure on Zhang Tianhe.

"Yan'er, what do you mean by that?"

"Do you perhaps believe that your defeat of Wang Quanbaye is an act of repaying a debt of gratitude to the Zhang family?"

Zhang Tianhe's face also hardened at this moment; he was actually quite angry inside.

This is a great opportunity for a father to rise in status through his son.

If Lin Yan agrees to become the leader of the Dao Alliance, his status will also rise accordingly.

If Lin Yan doesn't agree and says such things, he might even lose his position as the head of the Zhang family.

"Indeed, the position of Dao Alliance Leader is too troublesome."

"Whoever is willing to do it, can do it."

“As a member of the Zhang family, I have done what you could not do.”

"As for other matters, I'm afraid I don't intend to help."

Lin Yan slowly stood up, his words firm, which caused the expressions of everyone present to change.

They all understood that Lin Yan's words meant something simple: none of them, these old guys, were as good as Lin Yan.

While this is true, within aristocratic families, there is a strict hierarchy of seniority, and disrespect for elders greatly displeases them.

"brute!"

"Who among us isn't your elder? How dare you speak like that!"

"Are you saying that we old folks are useless, so we have to rely on you?"

"Don't forget, as long as you have the Zhang family blood in your veins, you must listen to us!"

Several elders stood up, pointed at Lin Yan, and roared at him angrily.

But their words did not make Lin Yan feel guilty or afraid.

Instead, it was just a glance as he turned around.

A terrifying killing intent swept around, enveloping all the elders present, including Zhang Tianhe.

"I will only say what I just said once."

After saying this, Lin Yan turned around and walked directly out of the council hall.

His words, or rather, the murderous intent that erupted in that instant.

This silenced all the elders present.

No one dared to challenge Lin Yan anymore, because they all knew that they were not capable enough to defeat him.

Lin Yan was definitely not joking when he said what he just said.

That murderous intent felt as if it plunged them into an ice cellar.

The feeling was as if their lives were about to be taken away.

For a moment, the entire council chamber fell silent.

The elders who stood up stared blankly in the direction of the door, their expressions gradually turning grim.

. . . . . .

Meanwhile, after Lin Yan returned to his small courtyard...

He found Zhang Zheng sitting in front of his door, and it seemed he had been waiting for quite a while.

"Big brother."

"I have something to tell you."

Zhang Zheng stood up and looked at Lin Yan.

When he said he had something to do, Lin Yan also felt a headache coming on.

"It's about going out into the inner circle with those young masters from aristocratic families to investigate, isn't it?"

“If you weren’t my biological brother, I wouldn’t care about you so much.”

"Of course, if you want to go out and die, I will burn more paper money for you next year."

Lin Yan waved his hand, probably guessing what Zhang Zheng wanted to say.

And he didn't intend to stop him.

There's no way to stop him anyway; Zhang Zheng is courting death, and there's nothing I can do about it.

"Brother, what are you saying?"

“We are all top elites of the Dao Alliance, who says we are bound to die?”

"Even when facing the Demon Emperor, we are absolutely confident."

"And, if you're willing to come with us, brother."

"We will definitely find out the secrets outside the circle."

Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, Zhang Zheng's lips twitched involuntarily.

Isn't this blatantly telling yourself that you're doomed if you go outside the circle?

Moreover, he was waiting for Lin Yan to return today not just to talk about his desire to go out and gain experience or to go outside the circle.

More than anything, he wanted to drag Lin Yan out of the entertainment industry with him.

He couldn't believe that anyone wouldn't be curious about people outside their circle.

"No, don't take me with you."

"I'm doing just fine, and I don't want to go outside the entertainment industry."

"Besides, who told you that the Demon Emperor could handle the dangers outside the circle?"

"If that's the case, then that person wouldn't have needed to go to so much trouble to create this path outside the circle."

Lin Yan went into the inner room, poured a cup of tea, and a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

He was certainly curious about things outside his circle, but he was well aware of the saying that curiosity killed the cat.

"Brother, aren't you curious?"

"Yang Yitan from the Yang family, Wang Quanba Ye and Wang Quanzui from the Wang Quan family, and Li Zizai and Li Quzhuo, two brothers from the Li family."

"There are also several other scions from prominent families; these are the strongest individuals in the Dao Alliance."

"With us here, what are you afraid of, brother?"

Zhang Zheng glanced at Lin Yan, who was still drinking tea and showed no interest in anything outside the entertainment circle.

Anxiety immediately appeared on his face.

In fact, even for this group of people, there was no guarantee that they would be 100% certain of success in getting out of the circle.

So they had discussed it beforehand, to see if Zhang Zheng could get Lin Yan on board.

“I said, even if I’m included.”

"It's also a dead end."

"If you're going to your death, I can't stop you, but don't take me with you."

"Don't take yourselves too seriously. In the history of the Dao Alliance, you guys aren't exactly the most outstanding geniuses."

“There are many people who are far more amazing than you.”

"But they don't have the guts to go outside the circle, and that's why."

"Because they have self-awareness, but you do not."

"They really think they're some kind of amazing prodigy."

Lin Yan snorted coldly, also feeling contempt for Zhang Zheng's words.

These scions of noble families are nothing more than frogs in a well.

He grew up surrounded by praise, so he thought he was the best in the world.

A group of people gathered together, and they all thought they were invincible and could explore the secrets outside the circle.

"I'll say it again: if you want to go and die, then go."

"Next year, as your elder brother, I'll burn you more paper money."

Lin Yan frowned slightly, showing his impatience with Zhang Zheng's persistence.

This was the first time he had ever shown such impatience towards Zhang Zheng.

This also made Zhang Zheng realize that no matter how much he pleaded, Lin Yan would not agree.

However, he did not expect to fail so quickly.

"Big brother, if I really go, will you blame me?"

As Zhang Zheng was about to leave, he turned to look at Lin Yan when he reached the door.

Deep down, he actually relied on this older brother a lot.
