Chapter 906: Chapter 907 Now You Have a Chance

However, regarding the matter of Yan Xueyi, Yan Hongwei had already consulted with his father and his other brothers a long time ago.

The Yan Family established their business on commerce, valuing brotherly amity and filial piety above all, with blood ties being of the utmost importance.

For their family, any sacrifice was acceptable; even if it meant giving up all of the Yan Family’s assets, they would do so without any grievances or regrets.

"I’m aware that the Yan Family’s commercial foundation is not bad, and Jing Yun Jewelry is indeed a distinguished brand in our Nanfu Province. However, I believe you’re also well aware that compared to those Ancient Martial Families that have established themselves through martial prowess, your foundation is hardly worth mentioning," Li Changlin began without directly stating his demands. He seemed to be casually chatting, analyzing the differences between businesses established on commerce and those on martial prowess to the Yan Family members.

Naturally, the Yan Family had no way to refute Li Changlin’s statement.

Just like how everyone in the meeting hall of the Yan Family guessed that the person behind Yan Xueyi’s mental blockage was undoubtedly this young man, or the power he represented, they were equally powerless to do anything about it.

The Yan Family was wealthy, but that was only in comparison to ordinary people.

Compared to the five major families of the provincial capital, let alone other Ancient Martial Families in cities across Nanfu Province, the Yan Family was nothing significant.

Take for example the four major families of Jincheng; aside from the Jiang Family, which was not an Ancient Martial Family, the other families such as the Wang, Duan, and Long Families all had an ancient martial arts heritage. Their strength and financial resources were much greater than those of the Yan Family.

And as for the Jiang Family, they were an anomaly. The previous Family Head of the Jiang Family married a woman from the Zhao Family of the Capital City, which led to the rise of the Jiang Family. Even the Duan, Wang, and Long Families did not dare to challenge them.

The title of the Eight Great Families of the Capital City was not claimed in vain.

In a small place like Jincheng, the most powerful individuals were only at the Transcendent Realm. The opponents could easily send over someone a half-step into Void Energy and dominate the entire scene.

Although the relationship between the Jiang Family and the Zhao Family of the Capital City was nothing more than a legacy from the previous generation, it was said that the Zhao woman had not yet died, which was rather terrifying.

Of course, none of this had anything to do with the Yan Family. In fact, Yan Xueyi had become friends with Jiang Xingwei also because of the Zhao Family.

The Yan Family had also developed rapidly over the years and had indeed made a considerable fortune.

But as their power grew stronger, the scrutiny of those formidable figures naturally turned their way.

Yan Xueyi’s friendship with Jiang Xingwei had been approved by the upper echelons of the Yan Family.

It was for this reason that Yan Hongwei could so boldly state his willingness to pay any price.

"It’s true that our Yan Family cannot compare to an Ancient Martial Family," Yan Hongwei said with a bitter smile, shaking his head. He had some self-awareness; actually, not to mention the five major families of the provincial capital, even just the four major families of Jincheng alone, if these Ancient Martial Families really wished to trouble them, the Yan Family would eventually have no choice but to pay for their survival.

After all, that’s the power of having the bigger fist.

Try reasoning with others—they only talk to you with their fists, not on the same level at all.

"So now I can tell you that your Yan Family has a chance to become an Ancient Martial Family. As long as the Yan Family serves me as their master, I will give my full support to your development. Moreover, I will provide a large amount of Jade Stone for you to operate with." Li Changlin looked up at Yan Zehan, knowing that this old man was the real decision-maker in the Yan Family.

"Ancient Martial Family!" Indeed, upon hearing Li Changlin’s words, Yan Zehan’s face immediately showed a trace of excitement.

They couldn’t help it; this was the most painful shortcoming for a family established through commerce.

They had money, but they lived in constant fear every moment.

On the surface, the Yan Family seemed glorious, but after Li Changlin blocked Yan Xueyi’s thoughts, Zeng Yi didn’t even dare to speak out.

The Yan Family’s foundation was too weak. Without an Ancient Martial Arts Expert to support them, even though Li Changlin appeared not to fear even the Deputy City Lord, the Yan Family, despite their riches, was no match for the Deputy City Lord!

Therefore, Zeng Yi had always been keeping it a secret from her family. Her suffering was something only she knew.

On one hand, Zeng Yi truly liked Li Changlin. It was an instinctive desire to get close, emanating from the depths of her heart. What Li Changlin didn’t know was that in this world, there was something called body constitution, and Zeng Yi’s constitution was the Nine Yin Xuan Body, one of the best constitutions for practicing Ancient Martial Arts.

Zeng Yi had not truly taken up a master. She merely practiced a few moves taught by the family’s retained experts for self-defense. Yet, even so, she had become a Dark Energy-Level Expert. Her talent was indeed formidable.

"Indeed, an Ancient Martial Family," Li Changlin said in a deep voice, seeing that he had stirred interest, "Your Yan Family wants better development, and practicing Ancient Martial Arts is the only way out. Although I know that your family has employed some retainers, I can sense that here in this meeting hall, there are at least two Masters of Transformation Realm hidden in the shadows. But the power of others will always remain theirs. If the Yan Family were ever to fall, those retainers would not accompany you through hardship. Only power truly held in your own hands will share in the Family’s glory and adversity. Family Head Yan, Mr. Yan, and all of you present, I, Li Changlin, can make this promise: If the Yan Family serves me, I will not exploit you and will do my utmost to quickly strengthen the Yan Family."

"This... Then Mr. Li, you won’t benefit at all from this. Is it really just to help us?" The crowd looked at Li Changlin with faces full of astonishment, as Yan Hongwei voiced the collective doubt of everyone present.

Listening to Li Changlin’s words, this seemed too good to be true—was there really such a Samaritan in this world?

No matter how they thought about it, it seemed suspicious.

Although the Yan Family also genuinely wanted to grow stronger, they did not wish to be fools.

If Li Changlin was only setting a trap for them, in the end, the Yan Family would not even have a place to weep.

"Of course, I will benefit because I need you to help me deal with the Tang Family." Li Changlin smiled nonchalantly. In truth, he had many more benefits in mind, but for now, there was no need to divulge all those details to the Yan Family. However, he was well aware that by bringing up the Tang Family, the Yan Family would be even more tempted.

"The Xinyuan Tang Family!" Being one of the five major families of the provincial capital, the Yan Family members were naturally familiar with them.

Especially since the Tang Family was in competition with the Yan Family.

Considering Li Changlin’s earlier statement about providing a large sum of Jade Stone to the Yan Family, it now made sense—they were expected to compete with the Tang Family. This was understandable.

"However, the Tang Family is, after all, an established Ancient Martial Family from the provincial capital." Yan Hongwei said with a look of bitterness. Although they said that they were in competition with the Tang Family, it was really just adding luster to their own reputation.
