Chapter 631: Begging and Crying

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
“Who is here?”

“Qu master of the clan is here to visit me personally. Why is he delivering news and information himself?” the old ancestor was puzzled.

The Bestial and Qu clan were solid allies, bonded by years of history.

Communication between the two families was also advanced and efficient.

It was rare for any of the masters to visit one another in person.

It must be something big!

“Welcome him in!”

The Bestial ancestor was prompt.

It was a critical crunch time for both families, seems like that Qu clan was serious about this operation.

Soon, the Qu master was brought before the Bestial old ancestor.

The young man had taken his leave.

He was the trump card of the clan, top secret.

Not even the Qu clan knew about him.

“I pay my respects to the old ancestor,” the Qu master greeted him formally.

“Spare the formalities, my child. What is it that you have to come down personally?” the Bestial ancestor greeted him in a compassionate and friendly manner.

With that, the master of the clan began to cry, “Senior, I am speaking of my grievances!”.

“Huh? What is the matter? You are an adult, speak to me properly, stop crying…” the old ancestor was taken aback.

The master of the Qu clan crying in front of him, what is going on here?

He was confused.

“That foreign bastard, he blackmailed us for half of all our assets. We had no choice but to comply given that we have something to ask from him… boohoo, how are we going to survive now that war is upon us?” the middle-aged man was bawling in his seat.

“Ay, that’s too much! We’ll snatch that back given the chance to!”

“Yes, but… life goes on now! Old ancestor, I have to tell you something I’ve kept to myself.”

“Hmm, go on,” the old ancestor figured things out quickly.

You’re here to ask for the balance, aren’t you?

It was important to comfort and reassure his allies.

“My old ancestor is a prideful man, he wishes to carry all burdens on his own shoulders. He has been nonchalant in front of us but I know that he is anxious about this huge expense.”

“We wish to share his burden as his children.”

“This great war determines the fate of our two families. Why should our clan bear all the costs to this great cause?”

“I am speaking boldly to you great ancestor, for some resources in exchange to fill the big deficit in our accounts!”

“Do you find me shameless to come here asking for things?”

“I haven’t even told my old ancestor that I’m here yet, he’ll probably reprimand me for doing so.”

The Bestial ancestor sighed, “Stop crying my child, this isn’t a big deal. You are right, this involves both of our families, it is unfair for your clan to bear all the costs. It’s reasonable that you are here to ask for some sharing of the responsibility. Wait here, I’ll get my men to prepare!”.

“Really? Are you not angry with me? My ancestor won’t scold me, right?” the master was worried.

“Why would I be angry with you? Your visit shows me that you treat me as part of the clan. I won’t tell your ancestor about your little visit today, it’ll be our little secret, alright?”

Deep down in his heart, the Bestial ancestor was cursing the young master. How dare you come to threaten me and ask for benefits!

But he knew it wasn’t the right time to break their alliance.

The master was the head of the clan as well, it took humility for him to come here begging for resources.

He had to consider the big picture at stake here.

Forget it, I have the trump card! I’ll be the last one standing victoriously, the honor belongs to the Bestial clan!

He summoned the master of the Bestial clan and ordered to prepare one-third of their assets.

The master of the Bestial clan looked downcast as he laid eyes on the Qu man, he knew what he was here for.

The f*ck! How dare you come here looking for compensation for your own folly!

But he didn’t dare to voice his dissent as well.

Only the old ancestor knew about the existence of the young man, their greatest trump card.

The rest of the clan still deemed themselves as the weakest link amongst the three clans.

They had the smallest voice.

It was impossible for them to revolt against the others without any external help.

“Thank you, old ancestor! I will put in my best foot in the upcoming battle!” the master knelt down sincerely in front of the Bestial ancestor.

“Good child, return now, you are needed in your clan,” the old ancestor maintained an amiable expression.

“I shall make my way now!”

With that, he was gone.

The young man reemerged from the secret chamber, he spat angrily, “Why are you sparing that shameless brat! Even if you were going to compensate him, why did you give him so much?”.

“You mustn’t think this way.”

Although the young man spoke casually to the old ancestor, he feared and respected him as a senior.

It was rare to see the old ancestor this serious, he spoke with a low voice, “Enlighten me, old ancestor.”.

“You are a great treasure of the clan. But no one apart from me knows of your existence. We are still considered the weaklings amongst the big players.”

“It is the truth that the Qu clan took a big fall this time.”

“Even if he didn’t visit me, I would have shown my appreciation anyway.”

“He was right that this matter involved both of our families, it isn’t fair that they had to bear the costs by themselves.”

“If we act aggressively, it would only complicate and ruin the big plans. It would also invite suspicions.”

The young man nodded his head, “You are right, I thought too simply of the situation.”.

“That’s alright, these plans take years of experience to formulate and strategize. You are still young, my child. By right, I would have forked out these assets anyways, don’t be caught up by the small things, my child,” the old ancestor replied warmly.

The young man looked enlightened, “I understand now! From now on, I will be more humble and open to learning.”.

“You have a great future ahead of you! Perhaps, you will become the pillar of the clan in the future, you have great responsibilities! By then, I can properly retire peacefully!” the old ancestor chuckled happily.

“Although I am already at the Flying Immortal Stage, I promise to watch over the clan before I take my leave.”

“Good boy! What a relief, what a relief!”

…

…

Chu Yu was joyous.

The Dong clan was the richest amongst the three families.

He felt extremely wealthy.

Especially after the input from the Bestial clan.

He had no qualms about trying cultivation methods that he hesitated to in the past.

He had so many resources in his hands!

He wondered how angry the Bestial ancestor would be when he learns of the truth.

A careless mistake by a great ancestor!

He’ll probably be hopping mad and deny the entire incident!

Wouldn’t he?
