Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 2020 - 2002: I’ve Made My Decision
"As for whether your families will follow me, I suggest you communicate with your families. To be honest, you follow me freely without any issues, but your families can’t do that unless they’re willing to give up everything to follow me in the future. If not, for your family’s sake, it’s best to sever ties to prevent disaster from befalling them."
Seeing the two underlings so sincere, Fang Yan explained the cause and effect seriously so they could understand what the future might hold and make their own decisions. As for how to communicate with their families, Fang Yan knew the two underlings would know what to do without needing his direction.
After saying these words, Fang Yan drank his wine in front of them, smiled, nodded, and turned to leave the private room, leaving the two inside.
This time, and only this time, Qin Kun and Wu Shan did not follow Fang Yan. They had oversimplified the situation. After hearing Fang Yan’s words, they realized Fang Yan’s identity was far beyond their imagination. Neither of them spoke, and finally, they both grabbed a jug of wine from the table and drank it all in one go.
Afterward, they both took out their Communication Spirit Stones and sent a message to their respective family heads - Come quickly, important matters to discuss!
Although it was only eight words, sending them to their family heads already indicated the seriousness. So, when Qin Aotian and Wu Kaihe received the message, their expressions changed. How could they not see the problem? If it weren’t something significant, Qin Kun and Wu Shan wouldn’t speak to them in this manner.
Thinking of the two being with Fang Yan, their instincts told them this must be something monumental, so they went directly to the Divine Sword Sect and quickly traveled to the Holy Soul Sect to meet Qin Kun and Wu Shan.
After contacting their family heads, neither left and just waited in the room. Not long after, Qin Li and Wu Fang appeared before them, ordered by the family heads to first find out what was going on. The situation made them anxious, but fortunately, the market was not very large. After some inquiries, they found Qin Kun and Wu Shan.
"Young master, what’s wrong?"
"Young master, what’s wrong?"
Upon entering the room and seeing the two young masters drinking, they asked doubtfully. They didn’t see Fang Yan and wondered, weren’t the two always with Fang Yan? What exactly happened?
"Elders, don’t ask specifics. Knowing is not better than not knowing, everything will be discussed when the family heads arrive. As for you, you can return to the family residence. The matter to be discussed is for the family heads only." Qin Kun said heavily, looking at the elders.
Upon hearing Qin Kun’s words, Qin Li and Wu Fang knew it was extremely serious, beyond their imagination. Qin Kun already saying this meant things were far beyond reason.
Thinking this, they said no more, immediately left the Holy Soul Sect as instructed, and returned to their family’s location, thinking everything witnessed today should stay with them alone. Qin Kun’s demeanor said it all.
Once Qin Li and Wu Fang left, Qin Kun and Wu Shan continued drinking, passing the time while waiting for Qin Aotian and Wu Kaihe to arrive...
Four hours later, the moon was high, and the hotel was about to close. But Qin Kun and Wu Shan were generous, renting out the hotel for the night, so the owner happily arranged for them to be served.
Qin Aotian and Wu Kaihe arrived together. Upon receiving the message, they immediately headed for the Cloud Travel Tower, meeting on the way. A glance between them was enough to understand the situation, and they rode the cloud travel vessel together to the destination.
Entering the hotel’s private room, Qin Aotian and Wu Kaihe saw the table full of wine jugs. Their brows furrowed intensely, unsure of what was happening.
"The family heads have arrived, please sit." Qin Kun gestured for them to sit.
Qin Aotian and Wu Kaihe said nothing and immediately sat down. From the start, they felt something was off, very off, leaving them with no time to criticize Qin Kun. They desperately wanted to know what the important matter was, as it was suffocating.
"Do you want to speak, or should I?" Qin Kun asked Wu Shan.
"You speak, it’s the same either way." Wu Shan replied without looking, as they had already discussed everything during the drinking. It didn’t matter who said it.
Qin Kun nodded, and without wasting words, said, "Fang Yan wants to see you."
Upon hearing this, Qin Aotian and Wu Kaihe were dumbfounded. Fang Yan wanting to meet them, what was the big matter? What were Qin Kun and Wu Shan implying? As they puzzled over this, more words came from Qin Kun.
"Family heads, what follows can only be known to the four of us. Not a single word can fall on outsiders’ ears. No matter the outcome, no one else can know, because the matter discussed next concerns the future of the Qin and Wu families."
Qin Kun spoke with utmost seriousness, even his tone turned icy, highlighting the gravity of the situation, severe enough to take his breath away...
Seeing Qin Kun so serious, Qin Aotian and Wu Kaihe were more at a loss, hastened breath revealing their confusion about the ’future’ Qin Kun mentioned. Even so, they remained silent, waiting for Qin Kun to finish.
"Now, our families face a difficult choice. One choice is keeping current lives, meaning Wu Shan and I must sever ties. Don’t ask why, for we can’t tell you. The other choice is for the Qin and Wu families to forever follow my boss, Fang Yan, preparing to abandon everything one day."
Saying this, Qin Kun’s voice grew hoarse, bearing immense pressure. The fates of nearly 200 thousand from two prominent families had to be decided now. Such pressure was unbearable by an ordinary person.
But Qin Kun withstood the pressure, adding, "Regardless of your choice, today’s discussions must not reach others. Otherwise, the Qin and Wu families could fall into eternal destruction. This is no exaggeration. Plus, time is short; by dawn, a decision must be made because, after dawn, we seek the boss to continue battling the Cultivation World."
Qin Kun’s grave words made Qin Aotian’s and Wu Kaihe’s minds explode. Who could have imagined such serious matters beyond their wildest expectations...
In an instant, the two were stunned, saying nothing as they guzzled wine from the table’s jugs, letting it spill, wetting their clothes. After finishing, they caught their breath, calming down to seriously weigh the pros and cons.
The first choice, maintaining the status quo, but without Qin Kun and Wu Shan, who knows how long the Qin and Wu families can last? Especially with the Wu family’s ambitions, even if they join forces against them, it’d be mutual destruction. Then maintaining the status quo is impossible.
The second choice is bold; tying up with Fang Yan entirely. The advantage is receiving Fang Yan’s protection and not losing young hopes, Qin Kun and Wu Shan. Yet, they face an unknown future, possibly enviable or disastrous. Though unclear, they understood the general idea.
The choices were too difficult; neither was ideal. But they knew if Qin Kun mentioned it, it must be chosen urgently, leaving no choice but to decide on the family’s future before dawn. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Feeling such a burden, both felt a weight as if from ten thousand pounds, not wanting to confront it. But as family heads, they had no retreat, facing it head-on.
This pressure made them feel the leader’s seat too hot to bear. Lacking composure, they ignored their image, guzzling wine while pondering the decision.
Only the sound of drinking filled the room, silence oppressive...
In a moment, twilight brought a faint blue light, no longer eternal darkness. This broke the room’s tension.
"Smash!"
The sound of breaking was heard as Qin Aotian stood, his whole body exuding unmatched confidence, turning to Qin Kun saying, "I have decided, choose the second path!"
This decision was immensely hard, for he had to account for a hundred thousand lives in the Qin family. But instead of lingering in Wu family’s shadow, barely holding their facade, he would rather gamble, tie the Qin family with Fang Yan. Future unknown, but with Fang Yan’s prowess, Qin family’s glory isn’t questionable. Even if its current state vanishes, it can rise elsewhere anew!
