The old master and the three masters were shocked the moment that they heard this.
They looked at me in shock, as if they couldn't believe what Lin Fan was saying.
Finally, the old master couldn't help saying, "Do you even know what the Lin Family represents? Do you know just how much influence and resources the Lin Family has? I'm offering all of this to you!"
The way that he said this, it was almost as if he took offense with what Lin Fan had said.
So he said this not only to try to convince Lin Fan otherwise, but also as an attempt to placate his own feelings. After all, he had spent his entire life as the head of the Lin Family or as the heir to the Lin Family.
The Lin Family was his whole world, the one thing that he took pride in.
If someone were to look down on it and trivialize it, then it would be as if his pride was being injured.
This was not something that he could accept that easily.
