Chapter 862: Proof of Love
Indeed, even though the Nan Family’s main branch has entered the Immortal Sect, the ancient rules of the Nan Family remain.
Illegitimate sons have no inheritance rights!
Moreover, if there is no legitimate son, then a legitimate daughter can invite a husband to inherit the family business, but an illegitimate son cannot!
So, even if Nan Ming proves he is the biological son of the patriarch, he still has no right to assu the position of Nan Family Patriarch.
Unless he kills all the direct descendants of the Nan Family in one fell swoop.
But that would be a major affair in the Nan Family. When such a major affair happens, mbers of the Nan Family in the Immortal Sect would erge; at that ti, Nan Ming wouldn’t just be denied the position of head; being killed would be a minor issue—he might face complete annihilation.
Yes, killing and annihilation are two different matters. Killing leaves your soul to reincarnate, while annihilation doesn’t spare the soul, making rebirth and reconstruction difficult.
Yet, only the Family Head knows that when the Nan Family has a major affair, the main branch will send people; Nan Ming, as the Housekeeper, naturally doesn’t know this.
Nan Ming looked at Nan Cheng, his eyes brimming with hatred: "So, you’re unwilling to give up the position of Patriarch?"
Nan Cheng sighed: "Didn’t I just say? You have no right to sit as the Nan Family Patriarch."
"Rules are set by people!" Nan Ming sneered coldly: "The ancient rules should have been abolished long ago. I refuse to believe that the family, upon discovering I am stronger than you, and more capable of leading the family toward a blessed life, wouldn’t choose !"
He took out a Jade Pot filled with Stone Marrow: "Look, I have so much Stone Marrow; do you have it? Anyone willing to support as head will receive Stone Marrow!"
Nan Cheng was shocked, where did he get so much Stone Marrow?
"Where did your Stone Marrow co from?" he shouted, his voice trembling.
Stone Marrow is a Nan Family product, but the source is within the Immortal Sect. Thus, generally, it can only be obtained when the Immortal Sect opens.
The Nan Family in the Mortal World possesses Stone Marrow but has always been cautious, not daring to let the world know; even if so among the world know, it remains a legend, believing the Nan Family only holds a few drops of Stone Marrow.
It wasn’t until the last Huaxia Dragon Auction that Stone Marrow appeared, revealing the Nan Family truly possesses Stone Marrow.
However, the transformative effect of Stone Marrow on the human body is not significant; its greatest benefit is purging the waste and toxins left in the body after consuming the Yuan Nourishing Pill.
Yet, most people can’t even obtain a few Yuan Nourishing Pills; thus, they aren’t too eager for a few drops of Stone Marrow.
But possessing a large amount of Stone Marrow is different.
The Nan Family Patriarch currently doesn’t hold much Stone Marrow, and with eighteen years left until the Immortal Sect opens at Jiu Nian, he fears running out of Stone Marrow for when Nan Family children are born, leaving their bodies untransford and their aptitudes diocre.
Therefore, he has always urged the family to use it sparingly.
Yet he truly did not expect Nan Ming to possess so much Stone Marrow!
Moreover, that Jade Pot looks so familiar!
Right, isn’t this the Jade Pot his father took out for him when he assud the position of Family Head to store Stone Marrow?
Right, when he was a child, he saw his father’s Jade Pot was a pair; later, only one remained.
"How is my father’s Jade Pot in your hand?" Nan Cheng growled through gritted teeth.
"Hmph, this was a gift from Father to my mother."
Nan Ming chuckled coldly: "This is my father’s proof of love for my mother! Because he loved my mother, he gave her such an important item!"
"Impossible!" Nan Cheng shouted.
