Chapter 8: The Megasun Hidden Realm
The head steward smiled civilly, “Liu Sheng, what happened in the past may have been a misunderstanding, and the family head has decided not to pursue the matter. If you wish, you could return as an elder of the Chen family.”
“I know you were unhappy that the First Young Master was removed from the main family, but you have misunderstood the family head. He was merely being concerned about the First Young Master and did not want him to be under pressure because of his inability to cultivate. Isn’t removing his name the same as lifting the burden from him? But the First Young Master was a bloodline of the Chen family after all, so how could he be left to fend for himself on the streets? After much consideration, the best solution was to invite the First Young Master to return as a member of the side branch.”
Of course, Old man Liu was aware of their concerns. Chen family was worried that Jing Yue was a disciple of the Hall of Fiery Pill. Seeing their close relationship with him, they were afraid of offending the sect, so they decided to take Lil Pebble back.
In the eyes of the public, Lil Pebble was a wastrel who could no longer cultivate.
But how prideful was the Chen family to imagine that Lil Pebble would just follow their orders around? And to accept his demotion from the main family to the side branch?
Instead of getting angry, Old man Liu laughed, “The First Young Master is the legitimate son from the main family. Do you think he could be abolished by a villain just like that? And to demote him into the side branch? Messing up the Chen family bloodline is an ungrateful and unfilial act. Aren’t you afraid that the Chen ancestors would haunt you in your sleep?”
“If you wish for the First Young Master to return to the Chen family, tell Chen Yong to personally invite him back to the main family. Furthermore, the entire dowry belonging to his mother should be returned to him.”
The head steward nearly suffocated. Madam Chen-Jiang was the beloved daughter of the Jiang patriarch, and her dowry not only included large areas of spiritual farmland, but also many pills and talismans. The most valuable item was a high-grade artifact, the Purple Wood Sword, a powerful weapon that could be wielded by a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so how could the family head return the dowry?
Unless they were certain that the young man came from the Hall of Fiery Pill, putting aside the Purple Wood Sword, even if the First Young Master demanded the entire Chen family, the family head would have no other choice but to offer it up.
