Their wives attempted to calm their husbands down. But no one wanted to back out.
The first and second branches started arguing, oblivious to the darkening expression on Old Master Lin's face.
Bei Sangyun watched the whole drama with a bored expression. She was not interested in this common scene.
She glanced at the old man's face. Surely, the old man was about to explode any second.
As she had this thought, a roar halted the argument between the first and second branches.
"Why is it so difficult to have a peaceful meal with all of you? I simply asked one question, and you two started bickering like children!" Old Master Lin slammed his hand on the table in frustration.
The first and second branches fell silent, though they continued to exchange angry glances.
Meanwhile, the other branches, including Lin Ginxian, observed the drama with schadenfreude, clearly relishing the spectacle of the first and second branches being scolded.
