As i watched the State of Divinity series recently, one fact got me wondering..
Does Lin Zhen Nan know that his grandfather Lin Yuan Tu once bested Yu Cang Hai's teacher, Chang Qing Zi?
But in the story, Lin Zhen Nan seems to be not aware of this matter, in fact, he had initially want to suck up to Qingcheng Sect to increase his Fuwei Manor business..
Also, as his followers started dying, and all clues point to Qingcheng Sect being the culprit, Lin Zhen Nan was actually perplexed why Qingcheng Sect will take action against them. He in fact stated that he did not offend Qingcheng Sect, and had no idea why they are targetted by them.
While it is understandable that Lin Yuan Tu would deliberately hide his past from his descendants, but him defeating Chang Qing Zi ought to have been a well-known incident throughout the entire Wulin. That was one of the feats that parachuted Lin Yuan Tu's fame, and also cemented the reputation of Bixie Swordplay.
Given that Lin Zhen Nan had many friends & acquaintances in the pugilistic world, there seems to be no reason why he could be unaware of his grandfather's accomplishments.
What do you think? Is this a plot hole in the novel?
