Chapter 2357 - 2330: Chen Family Intervenes

Compared to Chen Min’s anger, Tang Fengxing, standing beside her, couldn’t control his heartbeat upon hearing Chen Bubai’s words. Of course, it’s not that Tang Fengxing doesn’t want Chen Bubai to go to Beijing, but he especially hopes Chen Bubai does.

Chen Bubai’s strength is formidable, terrifying even. Standing beside him, Tang Fengxing, a martial artist at the late stage of mythical, could feel a kind of threat of death—a feeling of dying at Chen Bubai’s hands, which adequately demonstrated Chen Bubai’s ability to kill someone at the same level.

If Chen Bubai went to Beijing, Lu Tianxing would definitely not escape death this time. Even if there was a mysterious expert protecting Lu Tianxing, he wouldn’t escape death.

Though thinking this inwardly, Tang Fengxing didn’t show any expression nor speak, but worry was evident on his face, as if concerned that Chen Bubai might encounter trouble in Beijing.

"Uncle, I need a reasonable explanation." Chen Min looked at Chen Bubai and spoke again.

"Miss, I apologize, but this is the Family Head’s decision."

Chen Bubai glanced at Chen Min and slowly said, "The Family Head is very interested in the cultivation technique on Lu Tianxing, so he specifically instructed me to go to Beijing. As for what you were told about staying with the Tang Family—it was merely to deceive you, fearing you wouldn’t let the Family Head proceed if you knew."

"Uncle, you...."

Upon hearing Chen Bubai’s words, Chen Min’s face brimmed with anger. Indeed, she would have stopped the Chen Family from going to Beijing, not for any other reason but because the Chen Family had been in seclusion for so long, never appearing in outsiders’ sights.

This time, the Chen Family reappeared, raising concerns that something might happen, especially considering everyone is aware of the strength of the Old Master of the Lu Family. If the Old Master found the Chen Family, surely many members of the Chen Family would die, something she absolutely didn’t want to see.

Moreover, she went to the Chen Family for help because she listened to Tang Fengxing, who assured her that unless the Tang Family faced a crisis, the Chen Family wouldn’t act or oppose the Lu Family. Hence, she sought help from the Chen Family, but she never imagined this would be the result: the Chen Family actively seeking trouble with Lu Tianxing.

Had she known this earlier, she wouldn’t have gone to the Chen Family for help, even if beaten to death.

"Uncle, is this really my father’s decision?"

Chen Min’s face was filled with uncontrollable anger as she said, "Our Chen Family has always stayed out of worldly affairs; why intervene now? Do you not know the consequences? Many of our family will die, doesn’t my father realize this?"

"Miss, it truly is the Family Head’s decision."

After seeing Chen Min’s angry expression, Chen Bubai took a deep breath and said, "Miss, the Chen Family has been in seclusion for so long that people have forgotten its existence. It’s time to remind the world of the Chen Family, and this trip to Beijing is the best opportunity. Moreover, the Cultivation Technique on Lu’s Third Young Master is the Creation Source Technique, which might originate from the Qi Refiner’s Grave. Obtaining this technique may help decipher the secrets of the Qi Refiner’s Grave and retrieve its treasures."

"Miss, do you know what this means? It means the Chen Family could possess eternal life, riches rivaling nations. With this, our family could reclaim the old glory of the four great families, possibly even surpass them and become the number one family in China."

As he spoke, Chen Bubai’s thin body trembled uncontrollably, a flush of excitement more evident on his face.

The Chen Family had experienced the event with the four great families and knew their formidable strength, capable of crushing the Chen Family with just one hand. Yet those invincible families perished attacking the Qi Refiner’s Grave, becoming mere dust under the wheels of history.

It was evident the grave hid countless treasures. If the Chen Family obtained these, no one could challenge them, allowing them to build a house far surpassing the old four great families.

"Uncle, is truly being the top family so great? Isn’t stability better?"

Chen Min expressed a trace of sadness on her face.

"Miss, you don’t understand. For a family, not growing means only extinction. Though the Chen Family has been secluded, can it remain in seclusion forever? Not harming others doesn’t mean others won’t harm you, do you know that, Miss?"

Chen Bubai looked at Chen Min and spoke earnestly, "The world is cruel. If the Chen Family doesn’t progress, it will be eliminated, causing more deaths. Using a few lives to save many isn’t a bad deal, Miss, do you understand?"

Upon hearing Chen Bubai’s words, Chen Min fell into silence. She wasn’t foolish; instead, she was clever, understanding that while Chen Bubai spoke of this matter, he was also implicitly referring to the issue with the Tang Family.

The Tang Family and the Lu Family had already torn apart their relations, and Lu Tianxing’s strength was terrifyingly immense. If the Tang Family couldn’t handle Lu Tianxing, he would certainly lead top experts to Shu, destroy the Tang Family, and as Chen Min, daughter of the Chen Family and wife of Tang Fengxing, Lu Tianxing would surely not spare her either.

If she sought help from the Chen Family, this would mean the Chen Family and Lu Family openly clashing, inevitably becoming embroiled in this conflict.

Even if she didn’t seek help from the Chen Family but died alongside Tang Fengxing, it would be futile, because being from the Chen Family, if the Lu Family extinguished the Tang Family, Lu Tianxing, based on his past behavior, wouldn’t spare the Chen Family either; at best, suppressing it.

Furthermore, in this world, it’s always interests above all. Absolute interests overshadow familial and friendships.

If the Lu Family eliminated the Tang Family, they’d obviously become the great family. Other forces, wanting to flatter the Lu Family, would inevitably target the Chen Family repeatedly. One ant is harmless, but when many gather, they can bite and kill an elephant.
