Chapter 2094: Turning Hostile Faster Than Flipping a Page
The Ying Family has its own territory, and in the future, Lord Ying Zhu will inevitably choose one of his offspring to become the new lord of the Ying Family.
Lord Ying Zhu certainly won’t choose a good-for-nothing to take over.
Therefore, every once in a while, the lord will gather all his offspring to see which one is more exceptional and capable. Naturally, Ying Zuo and these offspring of the lord all want to showcase their abilities in front of their father, so every family meeting is treated with great importance.
Each of the lord’s offspring has many guests around them. The abilities of these guests are equally very important.
To become a lord in the future, one naturally needs many cultivators to assist him. In Lord Ying Zhu’s view, it’s not enough for his children to have outstanding Taoist cultivation themselves. Even if one’s Taoist skills are very impressive, how can a lone lord manage the entire territory in the future, let alone expand it!
Ying Zuo and others place emphasis on having guests for a reason.
"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, among the lord’s children, currently, the Second Young Master, Third Young Master, Sixth Lady, and our Seventh Young Master are the most likely candidates for succession. Lord Ying Zhu also regards these four offspring most favorably. As for the others, their chances of succession in the future are slim," Huo Tong said slowly.
"Oh?" Jing Yan was quite interested.
"Only the Second Young Master, Third Young Master, Sixth Lady, and Seventh Young Master of Lord Ying Zhu’s offspring live in Divine Martial City. The others are not allowed to reside in Divine Martial City anymore; they are in other cities within the territory, responsible for managing those cities. Of course, there is one exception: the Ninth Young Lady, who is still very young and has not yet participated in the struggle for the lordship," Huo Tong took a sip of tea.
The Ninth Young Lady is Lord Ying Zhu’s youngest child, born just over a century ago.
"Understood. So, during the family meeting, us guests may also need to prove our strength, right?" Jing Yan nodded and said.
"Exactly!"
