Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16027

Chapter 16025. Decision

“This is outrageous! The Yang family has gone too far! They actually wiped out the Wu Gou Sect! This is too much!” An elder exclaimed angrily. However, the others remained silent. They didn’t actually think the Yang family had gone too far; after all, the Yang family sought revenge, and destroying the Wu Gou Sect was perfectly normal.

At this moment, an elder spoke up: “What I’m actually more curious about is how the Yang family found out that it was the Wu Gou Sect who attacked Yang Qingyu. Surely very few people know this, right? Besides those of you here, only some of the family elders would know, right? And those people would never betray the family. So how did they know that it was the Wu Gou Sect that attacked Yang Qingyu, and how did they know about the Wu Gou Sect’s relationship with us?”

“Knowing about the relationship between the Wu Gou Sect and us isn’t surprising at all. The older generation in the sect knows that the patriarch has a connection with the sect leader of the Wu Gou Sect. Our family’s relationship with the Wu Gou Sect hasn’t been completely kept secret over the years. If the Yang family wanted to investigate, they certainly could. What’s truly troubling is how they knew it was the Wu Gou Sect who did it. When the Wu Gou Sect members made their move, they didn’t use their Wu Gou hooks; they used flying swords. And after Yang Qingyu escaped, they didn’t pursue her. They definitely didn’t expose themselves. How did the Yang family know it was the Wu Gou Sect who did it?”

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. Yes, how the Yang family discovered it was the Wu Gou Sect was indeed too strange.

Qian Jiang said in a deep voice, “This matter is indeed very strange. Yang Qingyu was attacked not long ago. Judging by the timeline, it means Yang Qingyu was attacked almost immediately, yet the Yang family immediately determined that Wu Gouzong was responsible, then they began their preparations, and then wiped out Wu Gouzong in one fell swoop. That’s too fast. How did they manage to do that?”

Everyone shook their heads. They didn’t know how the Yang family had done it either. Seeing their expressions, Qian Jiang immediately said, “Investigate! Investigate immediately! I want to see how the Yang family knew it was Wu Gouzong who was behind it.”

Everyone responded. Qian Jiang looked at them… Then he spoke up, “The Yang family knows about this and has come to warn us. Although their actions are extremely arrogant, there’s one thing we must all be aware of: the fact that the Yang family has warned us means they don’t want to break ties with us. So, what do you think we should do next?”

The Qian family elders all fell silent. To be honest, the Yang family’s warning had really made them think a lot. They never expected the Yang family to warn them like this. They hadn’t even thought that the Yang family would discover that Wu Gouzong was behind it, but the Yang family had discovered it and even warned them, which surprised them even more.

At this moment, an elder of the Qian family suddenly spoke up: “Patriarch, elders, there’s something I want to say to you all. Do you think that if we attack the next generation of the Yang family, even if the Yang family truly falls, we can still dominate the Shangyang Sect?”

His words stunned everyone. They exchanged glances, remaining silent. Qian Jiang, however, looked at the elder and continued, “Go on.”

The elder responded and said, “The Yang family was extremely powerful before, but they still couldn’t dominate the sect. Why? Because other families disagreed. Our Qian family has developed very well in recent years, and there’s something behind this…” Many people support us. They didn’t intentionally suppress the Yang family; they simply supported us, helping our family grow. Our family’s current strength is not much weaker than the Yang family’s, and this is a result of their support. Why did they do this? Because they needed a balance of power. They wanted to achieve a balance between us and the Yang family, not wanting either to become too powerful. If one family wanted to become too powerful, they would support the other. The Qian family has four Kingdom-level experts. With these experts, they won’t fall. Not to mention the Yang family has a near-King-level expert like Yang Dingtian. If something were to happen to Yang Dingtian or Yang Qingyu… “The Yang family will definitely go crazy. As long as they have kingdom-level experts, no matter how much we try to deal with them, we can’t do anything to them. Besides, the Yang family won’t let us deal with them indefinitely. If we really push them too far, and they actually make a move, our family will be the first to suffer. In the end, it might only benefit other families. Therefore, the kingdom-level experts in the sect won’t allow any one family to become dominant.”

Everyone nodded, agreeing with his point. Qian Jiang also nodded, and the elder continued, “If we can’t bring down the Yang family, why should we oppose them?” “The Yang family can’t monopolize the sect, and neither can we. Even if the Yang family falls, they’ll probably just turn around and support someone else. They certainly won’t let us be the only ones in power. So why should we fight with the Yang family? If our two families can coexist peacefully and join forces to suppress other families, preventing them from rising to prominence, wouldn’t the Shangyang Sect belong to both of us? Wouldn’t that be better?”

Everyone was taken aback by his words, then they all nodded. They all felt that what the elder said made sense. Even if they defeated the Yang family, they couldn’t monopolize the Shangyang Sect. So what was the point of fighting with them? Why couldn’t their two families join forces? If they joined forces to suppress other smaller families, wouldn’t they be the ones truly in charge of the entire Shangyang Sect?

Qian Jiang was also thinking about the elder’s words. He felt that the elder’s words made some sense. If they could really join forces with the Yang family, that would indeed be a good idea. Thinking of this, Qian Jiang said, “But our relationship with the Yang family is not very good right now. Although there are some marriage alliances between the two families, those marriages are all between ordinary disciples of the families, which is not significant at all. In addition, with this incident, it seems unlikely that we can join forces with the Yang family.”

Everyone fell silent for a while before the elder spoke up, “Patriarch, I think we can send out a signal now to sound out their intentions and see what the Yang family means. If the Yang family shares our thoughts, they will naturally agree. If they don’t, they won’t agree.”

“How do we sound them out?” “

A marriage alliance, but this time it won’t be between ordinary family disciples, but between core family disciples. We can send someone to contact the Yang family and use this to sound out their intentions. If they agree, it means they understand our intentions. If they disagree, then we’ll maintain the status quo and see what the Yang family wants.”

Qian Jiang was silent for a while before speaking, “We can try. I’ll arrange this, but everyone should be prepared for rejection. If the Yang family really refuses, then we can only maintain the status quo.” Everyone nodded, and no one spoke again.

Qian Jiang glanced at everyone and then said, “Alright, everyone go and rest.” Everyone responded, stood up, bowed to Qian Jiang, and left.

After they left, Qian Jiang returned to his study. He then summoned the elder who had informed him earlier. Once the elder was in his study, he said directly, “Go to the Yang family and tell them that our Qian family is planning to upgrade our marriage alliance this time, intending to marry our eldest daughter, Qian Yuying, to Yang Dingtian of the Yang family. See what they think.”

The elder was stunned, then looked at Qian Jiang in disbelief. Qian Yuying was Qian Jiang’s own daughter, and her strength had already reached the Royal Palace level. Among the younger generation of disciples, she was definitely a master. Qian Jiang was actually willing to marry her off to Yang Dingtian? Although Qian Dingtian was very strong and would certainly become a Kingdom-level master in the future, wasn’t this going too far?

Qian Jiang, seeing the elder’s expression, knew what he was thinking.

He said in a deep voice, “Just go and inform them. Go.” The elder immediately responded, bowed to Qian Jiang, and turned to leave. After the elder left, Qian Jiang finally let out a long sigh. He glanced out the window, a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes. He was truly heartbroken by the destruction of the Wu Gou Sect. He and the sect leader of the Wu Gou Sect had a very good relationship; they could be considered friends for many years. Now that the Wu Gou Sect was destroyed, he couldn’t avenge his friend but instead had to join forces with his enemy. This made him very uncomfortable.

But he had no choice. He was, after all, the head of the Qian family. He couldn’t let his personal grudges plunge the Qian family into crisis. So he had no choice but to do this. Sometimes, even those in high positions can’t do whatever they want.

In fact, it wasn’t just the Qian family; the Yang family was in the same boat. This incident was clearly orchestrated by the Qian family, but they could only destroy the Wu Gou Sect, not the Qian family. The Qian family was a major family within the Shangyang Sect, and if they were to harm them, it would provoke a backlash from many other families within the Shangyang Sect, potentially causing chaos within the sect. They couldn’t allow the Shangyang Sect to descend into chaos because they were the most powerful family in the sect, and maintaining stability in the Shangyang Sect was beneficial to them. Therefore, they didn’t want the Shangyang Sect to become chaotic. It was precisely for this reason that the Yang family could only warn the Qian family; there wasn’t much else they could do.

Sometimes, when a family grows large and powerful, there are more things to consider, and personal grudges have to be put aside. After all, throughout history, there have been very few rulers like Emperor Zhaolie of Han. Those in power are more often weighing the pros and cons, and personal feelings have to be set aside. Therefore, the leaders of a family or sect can sometimes appear ruthless when making certain decisions. This is not to say that they are truly without feelings, but rather that their position forces them to put aside their emotions.
