2074 Jin Qianxun’s Choice!
If this was the case, his brother would definitely want to protect the Truth Association in every situation—just like how Jin Qianxun needed to protect Lin Yuan.
Regardless of whether he could find the answer he was searching for today, he could still learn of Jin Qianding’s attitude toward the Truth Association from his conversation with Jin Qianxing.
This was a huge opportunity for Jin Qianxun.
While Jin Qianxun was thinking, he never expected Jin Qianxing to say so brazenly, “First Brother, what was the Truth Association talking about? Why are we joining the war between the Divine Wood Federation and the Iron Hammer Federation instead of reaping the benefits of the aftermath?
“If we charge in, we will suffer heavy losses. The Yi family is now in charge of the Divine Wood Federation’s imperial court. They have to have hidden power in order to be able to defeat the Yang family.
“The food-crazy Iron Hammer Federation likes nothing more than to plunder the Great Lush Federation’s merchant groups. Once we enter the fight, they’ll attack us as well. Our family only managed to stabilize our position as a secret aristocratic family after many years of development.
“Qianxun has been steadily growing. He might be able to reach Immortal too! At that time, there is no way we can throw in all of our combat power. Aren’t there experts in the Truth Association’s inner circle? Why don’t they join the battle themselves instead of pushing the secret aristocratic families into the war?”
The moment Jin Qianxing finished speaking, he saw Jin Qianding’s hand sailing toward him.
There was no way that a thearch-class expert could dodge a slap from an Immortal expert.
Jin Qianding’s slap stupefied Jin Qianxing and the watching Jin Qianxun.
The impression that Jin Qianxun had of his First Brother was that he was dignified and prudent.
No matter what mistakes the brothers made, even when Fourth Brother used evil methods to nurture feys, First Brother only reprimanded them. He had never ever laid a hand on them.
But now, Jin Qianxing had been slapped just for speaking with the Jin family’s best interests at heart.
The things that Jin Qianxun wanted to say were roughly the same as Jin Qianxing, but he would have done it more tactfully.
The slap that Jin Qianxing had received was almost no different from Jin Qianxun receiving it.
From the slap, Jin Qianxun knew that Jin Qianding needed to take the Truth Association’s arrangement into consideration, even if it cut into the Jin family’s profits.
Jin Qianxun could not help but lose his respect for Jin Qianding for such an action.
Jin Qianxun felt that Jin Qianding’s action had stripped him of the right to be the head of the Jin family.
Once the head of a family was bought off and no longer placed the family first, the family was doomed even if they were still prospering at that moment.
The Truth Association’s control over Jin Qianding reminded Jin Qianxun of Lin Yuan and Su Yiren.
Lin Yuan and Su Yiren were also controlling Jin Xianxun.
But every time he provided information, he would be rewarded accordingly.
This was less like being commanded and controlled and more like a trade.
He also had his own choice and rights when it came to the matter.
At that moment, Jin Qianxun suddenly stopped despising Lin Yuan and Su Yiren.
Jin Qianxun was very sad about the state of the Jin family, but there was nothing he could do to help.
The Truth Association had experts that were beyond Immortal. With such experts as members, Jin Qianding did not have any choice.
Jin Qianxun now understood the situation while Jin Qianxing had sobered from being slapped by Jin Qianding.
What happened next was a fight between Jin Qianding and Jin Qianxing.
The fight between the two brothers told Jin Qianxun that it was not a good thing to become involved with too much.
Jin Qianxun nodded at Jin Qianding before he left the study room and returned to his own room.
Back in his room, Jin Qianxun sighed a few times in succession.
He felt even more despair now than when he first started being controlled by Lin Yuan and Su Yiren.
The Jin family no longer had a future.
The glory of the Jin family was always the faith that Jin Qianxun held on to.
It was at this moment that Jin Qianxun realized that there was a message on the Thoughts Letter Paper.
Jin Qianxun thought that Su Yiren was asking him to find out more about the Truth Association again. He was unsure if he should tell her about the Truth Association’s plan.
The Jin family was going to become a pawn in this plan.
After collecting all that information, Su Yiren had to have a plan.
No matter what plan Su Yiren had for the Truth Association, it would affect the Jin family.
No matter how unwilling Jin Qianxun was, there was nothing he could do about his brother’s abandonment of the Jin family.
Jin Qianxun did not want to let down the Jin family’s ancestors after his death.
But once he read what was written on the Thoughts Letter Paper, Jin Qianxun was more astonished and overcome with emotion than when he saw Jin Qianding slap Jin Qianxing.
[Tell me everything you know about the Truth Association now. My faction will give you three opportunities. First, you’ll reach Immortal, and up till pinnacle Immortal. Second, you will become the head of the Jin family after the dust settles. Third, the Jin family will be able to enter the Great Lush Federation’s imperial court and become its new rulers. You can decide what to do for yourself.]
Of the three offers on the Thoughts Letter Paper, the ones that attracted Jin Qianxun the most were the first and third one.
It was every thearch-class expert’s dream to be able to reach Immortal, much less pinnacle Immortal.
The Jin family’s ancestors had never entertained the thought that they could one day become the rulers of the Great Lush Federation.
If this could be achieved with him at the helm, he would be changing the history books of the Jin family.
With support from such a faction, the Jin family would definitely be able to stand steadily once they took over the Great Lush Federation’s imperial court.
The Great Lush Federation’s imperial court was currently occupied by the Truth Association and no family was allowed to be a part of it.
In order for the promise to be fulfilled, the Truth Association had to first be kicked out of the imperial court.
This promise would allow any faction to be filled with confidence when they took on the Truth Association.
In spite of the knowledge that the Truth Association had experts that were beyond Immortal, Jin Qianxun still felt at ease.
As for the second offer of becoming the head of the Jin family, it was a position that Jin Qianxun had never been gunning for.
But now that Jin Qianding no longer placed the Jin family first, Jin Qianxun felt that he was a better fit to be the leader of the Jin family.
With this thought, Jin Qianxun decided to stake both his own future and that of the Jin family on this faction whose name was not even known to him.
