Chapter Summary
In fact, recently, the Jia family has even put their ancient ruins quota up for sale, which shows that they don't value it much." When Zhao Wudi finished speaking, Liu Ning spat out the tea in his cup. Just like that second young master Jia who is your enemy, if he hadn't killed 1,500 ferocious beasts back then, he probably would have had to stay in the wild." Speaking of this, Zhao Wudi was indeed quite impressed. He's just trying to protect his position." When talking about the second young ma...
Through Zhao Wudi's explanation, Liu Ning basically understood. According to Liu Ning's previous understanding, how could such a large family allow a woman to inherit the family business? It turned out that this was the reason. If it weren't for the fact that the Jia family had six outstanding members, Jia Wenlan probably wouldn't have been qualified either. However, in order to rebuild the Jia family's former glory, the entire Jia family had no choice but to let Jia Wenlan go back.
The older generation probably foresaw that if these people were allowed to continue developing, the family would likely continue to decline. To outsiders, the family was indeed powerful enough, but to those within the family, the decline had been too rapid in recent years.
Originally, their family was the absolute number one in the world, but now they can only rank among the top three. If they were to fight each other, who knows what the outcome would be? Although others see them as very powerful, they themselves know very well that they have declined too much in recent years. If Jia Wenlan hadn't given them a shot in the arm, they would probably have declined even more in the future.
"That's not right. I heard a rumor before that the Jia family's strength has nothing to do with anything else, and that like the other three major families, it's all because of the quota for the ancient ruins. Now that you're saying this, the quota for the ancient ruins isn't very useful to them, and their strength is directly related to their family's ancestors, right?"
Liu Ning suddenly remembered this matter. For many ordinary people, they had no idea what the "Six Wonders of the Jia Family" were, so they naturally made the connection. The Jia family's strength was the same as other families, purely because of the ancient ruins. Everyone knew that ancient ruins could create a large number of powerful people. The fact that the Jia family had so many powerful people was of course also due to the ancient ruins.
"What you said makes sense. The ancient ruins have indeed brought many powerful individuals to the Jia family, which is icing on the cake for their family. Unlike the other three major families, who value the ancient ruins highly, as if they were their lifeblood, the Jia family is completely different. Without the ancient ruins, the gap between them and the other three major families would widen. Even the twelve Western families have not strengthened themselves. They are the absolute number one family. The ancient ruins are not that important to the Jia family. In fact, recently, the Jia family has even put their ancient ruins quota up for sale, which shows that they don't value it much."
When Zhao Wudi finished speaking, Liu Ning spat out the tea in his cup. For the other major families, this was a deadly thing; Zhao Lele had even been assassinated because of it.
However, the Jia family didn't take it seriously at all. Not only did they not value it, but they also offered such a quota, which shows that such a quota was not very useful to them. Even without the ancient ruins, they could still consolidate their current strength.
"There's another thing you need to understand. The Jia family is different from the other three major families. The Jia family members are active in the wild, especially the young people. If they don't kill enough ferocious beasts in the wild, they won't be able to come back. This is also a family rule of the Jia family, except for Jia Wenlan, because Jia Wenlan is not a strong person, or rather, she hasn't been able to unleash her full potential yet. The others all have to kill a certain number of beasts in the wild. Just like that second young master Jia who is your enemy, if he hadn't killed 1,500 ferocious beasts back then, he probably would have had to stay in the wild."
Speaking of this, Zhao Wudi was indeed quite impressed. At least other families didn't have such ability. Even if other major families trained their own disciples, they would never joke about these people's lives. But the Jia family was completely different. If you didn't complete the mission, no matter whose son you were, you had to stay obediently in the wild. If you died outside, it could only mean that you were unqualified. The Jia family would never make an exception for anyone.
Zhao Wudi admired the Jia family for another reason: as a member of the Jia family, you had to complete a certain number of tasks each year. No matter what you did that year, you had to kill a sufficient number of ferocious beasts in the wild and hand them over to the family to complete your task for the year. If you didn't go, the family resources wouldn't come to you. Zhao Wudi still remembered the Jia family's motto, which consisted of only three words: kill ferocious beasts.
While the other major families had fought against the ferocious beasts in the past, they have now shifted their focus to human society. For these people, making money and expanding their power are the most important things, and they have long forgotten the oath left by their ancestors.
When the various families were founded, their ancestors taught their descendants to prioritize fighting against ferocious beasts, with everything else serving this purpose. However, these people have forgotten their ancestors' vows, relegating this task to the back burner. The primary focus has been on developing their own power within human society, which is a complete reversal of priorities.
Only the Jia family still remembered what their ancestors had said.
"Although the second young master you met is a troublemaker, just like some other young masters from noble families, he's always looking for trouble. But for the sake of hunting ferocious beasts, I'm not willing to argue with this kid. He's just trying to protect his position."
When talking about the second young master of the Jia family, Zhao Wudi's face didn't show much hatred. Liu Ning knew Zhao Wudi's habits. If you hunted ferocious beasts in the wild, even if you made some mistakes in the city, it would be understandable. But if you only worked as a servant in the city and didn't go out to do anything in the wild, then no matter how much merit your family elders had made, you would not be good enough, at least not in Zhao Wudi's eyes.
"I still don't quite understand. You've told me all this about how powerful the Jia family is. You just said that I stirred up the whole incident. What exactly is going on? What merit do I have to be able to stir up the whole world? If the Jia family is so powerful, how could an unknown junior like me disrupt their family's policies and grand strategies? This is a bit baffling to me."
After understanding the full extent of the Jia family's power, Liu Ning still couldn't figure out where he had gone wrong. Could this really be blamed on him? That would be too unfair.
