Chapter 1416 – Each House’s Movement Part 1

“Grandpa.... I’ve something in my mind, but I don’t know if I should tell you or not....” Chen Yutian pondered for a moment before opening his mouth.

House Chen was on the brink of death; there was something, Chen Yutian felt like he should speak out. Otherwise, it’d be over for them.

“What? Yutian, what’s holding you back now?” Grandpa Chen asked in surprise.

“If we want to maintain, or advance to the next level, it is not impossible...” Chen Yutian continued. “The point is that are we brave enough to risk!”

“What is that?” Grandpa Guan was freshened up after listening to Chen Yutian’s plan as in like he was holding onto the last straw of life.

“Give Shu to Lin Yi, get them married!” Chen Yutian continued. “As far as I’m concerned, Shu does seem to love Lin Yi, and at the same time, Lin Yi is pretty nice to Shu too. At the very least, he is treating her better than.... Better than Lingshan a little.... By suggesting this alone, I feel bad for Lingshan, but Lin Yi has many girlfriends, and she doesn’t seem to care about it, either. She’s from a noble house herself; it should be fine for her.”

“What?” Grandpa Chen flinched. “Get Shu and Lin Yi married? No way!”

“Why?” Chen Yutian was taken aback. “Having Lin Yi in House Chen is a great advantage, we, House Chen, can stand proud and tall in the noble house meeting. Even if House Yu disagrees, I doubt they can’t do anything about it. Besides, Lin Yi can give Shu and even you grandpa a boost- making you guys a mystic class master. In that case, House Chen will never fall, and having a disabled man like me or not, doesn’t really matter in the slightest!”

“Yutian, you should know that Shu has an engagement, right?” Grandpa Chen sighed. “I know your suggestion is a good solution, but we can’t break the contact, can we?”

“I do know a little about this issue, but... it has been so long, after so many years and no news from them, who knows if this engagement still on-going?” Chen Yutian didn’t think that his grandfather was this stubborn. “If those people from the ancient sect really wanted Shu, they could’ve at least send a message once in a while, right? Besides, Shu is already over eighteen now; no one came to knock on our doors. I bet this engagement is probably not going to work anymore.”

“Hey! Who knows how the people from the ancient sect work. They think differently from the noble house in the common world. Yes, we hadn’t heard from them for many years, but I’m afraid they will unleash their fury at us when they found out we canceled the engagement ourselves without their agreement. Their rage and fury are not something we can handle. If they really want to look for revenge, this will only do more harm to Shu than the situation now, right?” Grandpa Chen smiled bitterly. “This solution is workable, but we don’t have the courage to do it!”

After listening to his grandfather’s explanation, Chen Yutian’s spirit went down. He couldn’t believe the engagement became bondage binding them as in like they were cursed with an unescapable fate waiting ahead of them!

“Can’t we at least contact them?” Chen Yutian asked.

“Can’t do, they only left the engagement paper behind and left. After so many years, they never returned....” Grandpa Chen said helplessly. “We really can’t apply your suggestion; this is too risky for us to gamble.”

“But Shu....” Chen Yutian remembered Shu. “Shu might not like the idea of this engagement....”

“Sometimes, we can’t get to decide things...” Grandpa Chen said.

“Okay... Grandpa. Don’t be too upset over the spilled milk. Your bad grandson is not doing his job properly and causing you so many troubles!” Chen Yutian apologized.

“It’s okay. Rest well, let grandpa think about it... think about what will happen to House Chen after the noble house meeting...” Grandpa Chen couldn’t get himself angry to scold at his grandson as he comforted.

“Okay, Grandpa...” Chen Yutian was feeling a little dizzy- he needed rest and hoped that his frustrations would be all gone after a good sleep!

After returning to House Yu, Yufeng send out all the invitation cards to the rest of the eight noble houses!

The eight noble houses were Song, Chen, Sun, Wu, Liu, Xiao, An, and Yang!

The sole purpose of this meeting was to eliminate all the resentment between the member of the noble houses. Second, it was to rearrange the rank among them. Of course, certain houses might be too weak to be presented as a noble house, would be kicked out of the list, and a more qualified house would be replaced into the list!

After receiving the invitation cards, some were happy, and some were gloomy.

Grandpa Song from House Song was vaguely worried because of the engagement being broken, but it was not a big deal that would shake them off the rank. After all, House Song had a peak late phase mystic class master outside wondering the world! Yes, there was no news about him after so many years, but before his death was confirmed, no one dared to drag House Song down the position. Besides, Song Lingshan had advanced to mystic class now, even after losing the engagement with House Yu- it was unlikely for them to be eliminated from the list!

House Sun, House Yang, and House An, on the other hand, were steady and calm. These noble houses always stayed a low profile, but they would never be eliminated out of the list as well. It was always like that every year, nothing had changed! As for House Xiao, all their fears of being eliminated were washed off after getting the support from hidden House Pi! Among all the houses, House Pi was the strongest now! Even after losing two House Pi masters, a new master was sent to them; they lost nothing from all the events!

Meanwhile, House Liu was aware of their danger in this noble house meeting. In the study of the head of House Liu, Liu Zhenhu, stood two brothers, Liu Tianyi and Liu Tianli, and while behind Liu Zhenhu was the little genius in the house, Liu Jinghan.

“The noble house meeting is around the corner, tell me about your thoughts.” Liu Zhenhu placed the invitation card on the table as he raised his head and asked. “House Liu, Is there hope to secure our position in the noble house meeting this year? I heard that House Yu is trying to recruit House Kang as the new noble house?”

“From my perspective, we are out of danger zone. We’ve become the exclusive agent of injury medicine and soon taking up the pain killer medicine’s right as well. We aren’t losing House Kang in terms of resources and channels, so I personally think that House Liu is safe.” Liu Tianyi opened his mouth first.

Liu Tianhu nodded. “Tianli, how about you?”

“Big brother was right!” Tiannli nodded proudly as he spoke. “Although we aren’t earning a cent from being the exclusive agent our position and reputation in the business world have risen up to a whole new peak level. Now, all the businessmen are trying to take on our good side- yes, we aren’t earning from this side, but from other businesses, our sales are skyrocketing! Now, I’m afraid that the ones in the dire situation are House Chen and House Wu, definitely not House Liu!”
