Chapter 1104: Risky Move

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

After all, that sect was an extremely powerful force. Why would they be interested in a normal girl from a noble house? His granddaughter didn’t have any talent or innate abilities- this made the other party’s actions a little odd!

However, this was a good thing, so Elder Chen allowed it. He didn’t know what they wanted from this marriage alliance, but this piece of news stabilized their position in the world of noble houses very solidly!

But it had been so many years- they never contacted or wrote to House Chen… This made Elder Chen a little disappointed. Were they regretting their decision?

But whether or not they were regretting was not something Elder Chen dared ask about- after all, the difference between a noble house and an ancient sect wasn’t a small one- it was equivalent to the difference between an ant and an elephant!

He was worried, but still kept a look of confidence, as if everything was stable. After all, only Elder Chen knew if that ancient sect were in contact with them- others didn’t! As long as he kept this up and didn’t show any signs of weakness, other people would have no choice but to believe him. They wouldn’t take the risk.

“Jing Jing’s right- House Chen’s marriage engagement happened when you were all young, but us of the older generation know- this was exactly why House Yu’s head never touched House Chen all these years!” Zhenhu said, “House Yu actually has doubts regarding this as well, but it was true that the marriage engagement happened back then, so everyone just kept their doubts to themselves. Who would dare risk crossing an ancient sect? Even the hidden House Yu wouldn’t be able to deal with an ancient sect, let alone House Yu!”

Tianyi and Tianli nodded, sighing helplessly. Was it inevitable that they’d be cut off from the list?

“Damn it, if it weren’t for House Song’s Song Lingshan suddenly breaking into Golden class late phase full peak, they’d also be a candidate for getting cut off, but now they’re even in a marriage alliance with House Yu!” Tianli said, stomping his foot.

“Jing JIng, what did you mean when you said Lin Yi?” Tianyi was more stable than Tianli, turning his eyes to his niece after knowing that the plans from before wouldn’t work.

“Uncle, dad, it’s actually very simple.” Jinghan smiled slightly, “We should first look at the source- what does House Kang have that qualifies them to be raised into a noble house?”

“Isn’t it because of House Wu and House Xiao’s support?” Tianli said.

“Dad, their support is just an effect- if House Kang didn’t have the qualifications, House Yu wouldn’t let them become a noble house regardless of who’s supporting them,” JIngyi shook her head, “House Kang has medicine- Golden Creation Injury Medicine, the limited edition Golden Creation, the Skin Beautifying medicine… But Lin Yi has all of these, and even better, he has the Pill of LIfe Extension and Toxin Cleansing! I was thinking that if we could get into a full partnership with Lin Yi and become his sole business partner… This would make us the gateway to all those miracle medicines, we would have control! If one wanted to buy these products, they have to go through us first- this would only heighten House Liu’s position!”

“Hmm… You’re right, but Lin Yi might not agree to this? After all, a representative business partner… This was the side that earned money, and House Yu wanted to do that as well, only to be rejected…” Tianli said.

“Dad, there’s a second side to everything- you can earn money in that position, or you can refuse to! Our House Liu can become a representative business partner that didn’t earn money, giving all of the profits out and running the company on our own funds!” Jingyi said, “Plus, we’ll give all the power and decision making to Lin Yi, and we’ll take nothing!”

Liu Tianyi’s eyes changed- he didn’t expect his niece to think up such a plan! This would make them workers that didn’t get paid, not getting power or money, yet also still in charge of providing massive resources to the rest of the houses! On the surface, this was a huge loss, but in actuality, House Liu would get a very powerful name, as well as get on very good terms with Lin Yi- they’d be justified to ask him for help if anything were to happen in the future!

Zhenhu nodded with approval- this was an amazing idea! This would turn the entire House Liu into a ‘follower’ of Lin Yi’s, a lackey of sorts. Doing this would be rather bold, but if it were to succeed, the rewards that would come to them were unimaginable!

Zhenhu had already realized that Lin Yi was no common man- he has now already killed one from House Yu and crippled one from House Xiao- that was enough of a testament to his strength!

The House Liu now was looking for a breakthrough and change- if they put themselves as ‘followers’ of Lin Yi, this might actually work! It might seem a little degrading, but weren’t House Yu followers of the hidden House Yu, as well? Weren’t those of House Xiao getting all excited and gleeful when House Pi said they would support them, wasn’t this the same thing?

And so, the glory of a follower depended on the strength of its boss- if Lin Yi was someone who didn’t even care about hidden houses, then House Liu would naturally be above House Yu and House Xiao as well!

Of course, this was all guesses and gamble- no one knew just how powerful Lin Yi’s background was, and no one knew if the guy could climb even higher than he was now!

Tianli understood his daughter’s words as well, and went into thought for a long while, “Jing Jing, this Lin Yi seems strong, but he’s still a big enemy of House Yu. We’re talking about lowering our status to walk to his side, the side opposing House Yu- if he’s able to handle House Yu, then that would be fine, but what if he can’t? From what I’ve heard, his enemy Jin Wudi is now applying for leave in the hidden house community in order to avenge his disciple, Ma Zhu- he’s planning on coming to the common world to get Lin Yi, and he’s an Earth class! That’s near invincible, and I’m worried that Lin Yi would get offed before we even get to celebrate!”

“Yes, Jing Jing- this is a risky move! If it were to fail, we’d be done for! The situation now is that House Liu will get cut off from the noble house title, but we wouldn’t lose anything- we’ll just be less glorious as we used to be, but if we get Miracle Doctor Lin’s help anf fail, this would incur the allied wrath of House Yu and the other noble houses, and then we’ll all be in deep trouble!” Tianyi voiced his opinion as well.
