C34 – Good Fight
Upon seeing Yun Haoyan’s response, the elder felt reassured and began to elaborate.
As it turned out, the contract had been annulled by the Bian family’s eldest son, who was also their heir.
He had sought to dissolve the agreement with the Yun family, and the majority of the Bian clan were in agreement.
The dissolution of the contract was indeed connected to Yun Haoyan’s actions; he had struck both the Bian family’s young lady and their young master.
Infuriated, the Bian family’s eldest son advocated for the termination of their pact with the Yun family.
“Outrageous!” Yun Hai bellowed, slamming his fist on the table as he rose to his feet. “The Bian family has gone too far.
It’s common for the younger generation to have their scuffles. And yet, the Bian family wants to break off the contract over such a trivial matter?”
In Silkbarrow, a city of modest size, it was commonplace for the youth to engage in tussles.
If every petty squabble among the young was to escalate into a family feud, the families of Silkbarrow would be left with nothing else to attend to.
They might as well dedicate their days to supervising the children’s skirmishes.
Yun Haoyan shook his head in disbelief, not expecting the Bian family’s young master to be so thin-skinned.
Unable to best him, he resorted to leveraging his family’s influence to oppress the Yun clan.
At that moment, the other Yun family elders, having learned about the contract’s termination, hurriedly convened.
“Father, to understand the conflict with the Bian family, we must go back to yesterday’s events…”
Yun Haoyan recounted in detail how Yun Tiantian had been harassed by the Bian family’s eldest daughter the day before.
“How dare they lay a hand on the Yun family’s princess! We must stand our ground and fight back.”
The elders were seething with anger. They had watched Yun Tiantian grow up, always treating her as their cherished darling, and now she had been assaulted by the Bian family. They could not stand idly by.
Moreover, the Bian family had not only initiated the attack, but they had also had the audacity to provoke the Yun family today.
“However, our family lacks an Alchemist. How can we possibly contend with the Bian family?” one elder questioned.
Suddenly, the previously incensed elders fell silent, their heads bowed and faces pale with defeat.
They were well aware that clashing with the Bian family was nothing more than empty talk. Despite their frustration with the Bian family’s oppression, the Yuns lacked the power to confront them head-on. The most formidable martial cultivator in the Yun clan had only reached the pinnacle of the Martial Master level, whereas the Bian clan boasted a warrior of the Grand Martial Master caliber.
When it came to combat prowess, the Yun family stood no chance against the Bian family. Furthermore, the Yuns didn’t have an Alchemist in their ranks, nor did they possess the Bian family’s wealth. In every aspect, the Yun family fell short in comparison to the Bian family.
Observing this disparity, Yun Haoyan couldn’t help but shake his head, recognizing the urgent need for the Yun family to bolster their strength. They couldn’t depend on him indefinitely—his time was far too valuable. Strengthening the Yun family had become an immediate priority.
Additionally, with increased strength, his sister could venture out with bodyguards, preventing unfortunate incidents like the assault on Yun Tiantian from recurring.
Yun Haoyan was also acutely aware of a lurking power that had its sights set on their family, ready to pounce at the slightest sign of vulnerability. This realization solidified his resolve to cultivate allies and enhance the Yun family’s capabilities.
Determined to boost the family’s morale, Yun Haoyan addressed them with a dose of confidence, “Folks, who’s to say our family lacks an Alchemist?”
“We have an Alchemist? As an elder, how am I not aware of this? Has an Alchemist recently been invited to join us? Where is he?” An elder with graying hair stepped forward with a mix of curiosity and skepticism.
