Cultivation Pet Shop

After the wedding, they all once again reconvened, but this time they all headed to the Jiang Manor.

They all gathered in a single room in the Jiang Manor with everyone seated at a single table.

In terms of the people gathered here, they could all be considered as the peak of Rock Mountain City. With the one exception of Lin Fan who no one knew about. But even if that was the case, not a single person in this room dared to look down on Lin Fan now.

As for Jiang Zhi Shu, he was too busy flirting with Yuan Xiang Qin to notice anything.

The first one to break the silence was Jiang Wan Li who said, "Brother Lin, just who are you?"

This was a very blunt question, but it was definitely the question that was on everyone's mind.

After all, no one knew where Lin Fan had come from. They only knew that he was someone who had suddenly set up a pet shop in this city and he was someone who could take out these amazing items.

There was no doubt that there must be something unbelievable behind him.

Lin Fan tapped his finger on the table before saying, "I'm no one special, I'm just a resident of this planet."

Everyone knitted their brows when they heard this, but Lin Fan's next words changed their expression once again.

"But I was lucky enough to find a master who could guide me."

Once this was said, no one else said a single thing since they knew that Lin Fan didn't want to continue this topic. Moreover, with how strong he was, there was nothing for them to gain if they were to offend him.

The only important thing was that he didn't seem to mean them any harm, so that was enough for them.

After a pause, Jiang Wan Li continued, "Then let's move onto the main topic then. Let's discuss the future of Rock Mountain City."

Once he had heard about what had happened to Rock Mountain City, Jiang Wan Li knew that things couldn't continue like this. Since he was coming out now, they had to find a solution that would work for everyone and they couldn't just let Rock Mountain City crumble away like this.

Everyone at the table was silent when they heard this since they all knew that if they spoke first, they would be ousted by everyone else at this table.

They all wanted the most benefits for this side, that was except for two people at this table.

Both Jiang Wan Li and Qiang You just wanted what was best for the city.

Both of them had the same reason for why they wanted this, it was all because of their individual promises to Qiang You's father.

Jiang Wan Li and Qiang You's father had worked together to build this city, so it was as much his child as his actual children.

As for Qiang You, he loved the city that his father had created and he had promised his father he would do his best to protect it. To this day, that feeling still hasn't changed.

For either of them to accomplish this, they would need Lin Fan's help, but Lin Fan stayed neutral to both sides.

Jiang Wan Li said, "As I've said before, we'll be giving up all our more shady businesses and will go back to our traditional businesses. Other than that, we will also be opening up all parts of the city to everyone. There will no longer be any separation in this city."

Everyone was fine with the first part, but once Jiang Wan Li said the second part, there were many people who knitted their brows.

Jiang Mu took the lead for them and asked, "Father, if we were to do that, it would be bad for the city."

Jiang Wan Li gave a cold snort and said, "So it's better to completely ignore the people who need help and only care about ourselves?"

Jiang Mu didn't give up as he said, "Father, if we do this, there will be plenty of backlash from the other noble and royal families. Even if we were to announce this, it doesn't mean the others will accept this."

Jiang Wan Li just looked at Jiang Mu with a trace of sadness in his eyes as he said, "Mu, when did you become like this?"

Jiang Mu was confused when he heard this and he asked, "Father, what do you mean?"

Jiang Wan Li didn't continue with this as he gave a sigh and said, "For now, even if the other families don't agree, we will be doing our own part. We will take down the wall that divides the two parts of the town that we've set up, but if they refuse to change their ways, there's nothing we can do."

Jiang Mu took a deep look at Jiang Wan Li before cupping his hands to say, "As you command, father."

This was the best compromise they could get, so Jiang Mu and the others he represented didn't mind.

After all, even if Jiang Wan Li was in the Legendary Realm, it didn't mean that he would live forever. At best, he would have another fifty years.

All they had to do was wait for another fifty years and then they would be able to return to the same way they lived before.

Not to mention that with Jiang Wan Li out of his isolation, it would mean they would have plenty of chances to learn from him which would greatly help their cultivation. If one of them could reach the Legendary Realm, which was more than likely with the teachings of Jiang Wan Li, it wouldn't matter since they would still have a Legendary Realm Expert to support them.

What they didn't know was that Jiang Wan Li wasn't planning on teaching them a single thing. In fact, he was already planning on letting the Jiang Family fall apart and become nothing more than a royal family after his death.

This wasn't the family that he had raised, they had changed during the time he had gone into closed door cultivation.

But that was to be expected.

After all, they had been controlled by the Beast King's soul fragments for so long, it had fundamentally changed them. After acting so arrogantly for so long, it had already become their personality.

To put it simply, the Jiang Family was already beyond saving.

If that was the case, he would rather let it collapse by his hands than to let it collapse in any other fashion.

Still, there was one thing that he couldn't let collapse. He had to at least leave one seed for the future of his family.

After saying this, Jiang Wan Li turned over to Jiang Zhi Shu who was standing there with Yuan Xiang Qin, whispering into each other's ears.

They had been like this since coming to the Jiang Manor, they had been completely lost in their own world.

Jiang Wan Li gave a cough which brought Jiang Zhi Shu's attention back and then he said, "Zhi Shu, do you still want to keep working for Brother Lin?"

Jiang Zhi Shu never expected to hear this from Jiang Wan Li.

This had actually been a matter on the back of Jiang Zhi Shu's mind the entire time.

He knew that with Jiang Wan Li's appearance, he would be expected to return to the Jiagn Family and become their successor again, but that was the last thing that he wanted. He wanted to go with Lin Fan since he had already promised his life to him, he didn't want to go back to that dark family ever again.

​ But before Jiang Zhi Shu could say a thing, Jiang Wan Li said, "For now, you can keep working for Brother Lin. But remember, no matter how bad it is, the Jiang Family is your family in the end."

Jiang Zhi Shu looked into the deep eyes of Jiang Wan Li's that were staring at him before giving a slow nod.

This was the only thing that Jiang Wan Li could do.

He knew that Jiang Zhi Shu had found a special opportunity with his encounter with Lin Fan.

He also knew that with all the changes that were happening on the Blue Star Planet, there was something that was about to come. It would be something that could decide the very fate of the Blue Star Planet.

If that were the case, Jiang Zhi Shu shouldn't be forced to stay here.

There was no future if he stayed in the Jiang Family, so the only way for him to escape was to follow Lin Fan.

Jiang Wan Li could see that Lin Fan's destiny wasn't tethered to this small world, it was only a matter of time before he went to the next world. Lin Fan was only temporarily here until he became strong enough and took care of all his business in this realm.

If Jiang Zhi Shu could follow Lin Fan to the next realm, it would definitely change his life and define his future.

Since that was the case, how could Jiang Wan Li keep Jiang Zhi Shu here?

Once this was all decided, everyone went back on their own and so ended the day that would forever change Rock Mountain City.

For most people, this was a day without much consequence, but it was different for the Jiang Family.

For the Jiang Family, it was the day that had sealed their fates.
