"It was only later that I understood, the reason why the family held Duan Rui in such high esteem was because they wanted to assist him in achieving Foundation Establishnt as quickly as possible and thereby perpetuate the glory of the Duan Family."
A smirk tugged at the corner of Luo Chen’s mouth.
Did this re Foundation Establishnt Family dare to speak of glory?
Alright, he was an individual with no family, so he indeed had a hard ti understanding the mindset of a family cultivator.
"But, what does this have to do with your mother’s revenge?"
It was nothing more than the inequitable distribution of resources.
Oh, considering his father, Duan Feng, who died in battle for the family, left behind an orphan and a widow who, instead, ended up being treated differently.
It was indeed very disappointing.
But Duan Feng wasn’t simply disappointed, he was angry.
"He failed!"
"Duan Rui, he failed his attempt at Foundation Establishnt!"
"The old dog purchased a massive amount of resources for him, and even used the Foundation Establishnt Pill that my father had exchanged for his lifeti of rits from Luo Yun Sect."
"Despite everything being prepared, he still failed in his attempt at Foundation Establishnt."
Luo Chen asked in surprise, "The Foundation Establishnt Pill your father exchanged for his rits?"
"Yes, it should have been passed down to originally and had always been in the custody of that old dog."
Luo Chen shook his head, this was ruining one’s cultivation path!
Duan Feng’s cultivation talent was not weak, but it was just overshadowed by his talent for tool casting in the early stage.
But, given more ti, completing Qi Refinent would not be a problem at all.
In other words, he was destined to use that Foundation Establishnt Pill.
However, if the situations were reversed and his own lifespan is running out and within the family, there is no one to succeed him, Luo Chen would, nine out of ten tis, probably give the Foundation Establishnt Pill to the most promising candidate, Duan Rui.
It cannot be defined as right or wrong for the clan.
Even, it was the absolutely correct choice.
Only if Duan Rui succeeded in Foundation Establishnt, could the Duan Family continue to stand firm in The Great River District.
And not live on in dire straits like the Chen Family, or be easily annihilated like the Fu Family, which Luo Chen and the Luo Tian Creed had led.
A Foundation Establishnt Family without high-end combat power is simply an appetising piece of cake that everyone wants to nibble on.
Their predicant won’t be any better than Luo Chen, who is proficient in Pill Refinent Technique.
But, if sothing like this happened to Duan Feng, who is now an orphan and a widow.
That would be downright cruel.
Unfortunately, Duan Rui also failed!
That was extrely ironic.
...
While Luo Chen was finding the irony, Duan Feng’s murderous aura was getting even more apparent.
His grip on the wine glass tightened, with the veins on his hand fully exposed.
In his hands, the glass turned silently into powder.
"Duan Rui failed his attempt at Foundation Establishnt and was seriously injured. Coincidentally, The Great River District Dao Debate Platform started, attracting the three major Immortal Cultivation Clans."
"The position of the Duan Family suddenly beca precarious."
"Under such circumstances, the old dog tried to form an alliance with Mi Shuhua from the Broken Mountain Gang but was politely rebuffed."
Listening on, Luo Chen began to notice sothing wrong.
Why did they get involved with the Broken Mountain Gang?
Not to ntion, with Mi Shuhua’s character, how would he refuse to form an alliance with the Duan Family?
Summing up the tiline, Luo Chen suddenly felt uneasy.
The tiline seed to coincide with the ti when he began to shine in the Broken Mountain Gang by refining a large number of Jade Marrow Pills.
At that ti, Mi Shuhua should have been in collusion with Miao Wen.
He was already supposed to give Miao Wen a share of the elixir profits, so naturally, he wouldn’t wish to form an alliance with the Duan Family again.
That way, his share of the profits would be reduced even further.
"After being rebuffed by Mi Shuhua, out of desperation, the old dog planned for a marriage alliance."
Duan Feng laughed bitterly, "You probably can’t guess it, the object of the marriage was Nangong Qin from the Nangong Family and the candidate my family chose was my mother."
At that mont, Luo Chen couldn’t keep a straight face anymore.
He blurted out, "Has that Old man Duan Qiankun gone mad!"
It’s no wonder he thought so.
Duan Feng’s family lost his father in a fight for the family, had a great talent for tool casting, and had a contribution of a Foundation Establishnt Pill.
Even the coldest-hearted person wouldn’t do sothing that could inevitably lead to their doom.
The father devoted his life to the family, transferred the most important heritage, and now wanted to marry off his widow, all for a marriage alliance to consolidate the family’s status in The Great River District.
Moreover, the mber of Nangong Family was a young and vigorous Foundation Establishnt mber, whose lifespan was still long.
Isn’t this inviting a wolf into the house?
Duan Feng chuckled coldly, and was about to take a sip of wine.
He lifted his hand to his mouth before realising it was only a scoop of porcelain powder.
Luo Chen imdiately pushed his own glass over to him.
After finishing the drink, Duan Feng gasped and then said:
"Of course he hasn’t gone mad."
"The Nangong Family had just arrived and was eager to establish their footing. If they ford a marital relationship with our Duan Family, they could firmly stand their ground."
"Moreover, my Duan Family more or less has so connections with the Luo Yun Sect."
"At least for the next hundred years, it can’t be considered inviting a wolf into the house."
Luo Chen couldn’t help but ask, "Did they agree?"
"Yes, the Nangong Family agreed."
Luo Chen hesitated.
Does this an that the kid Nangong Qin, nearly beca Duan Feng’s stepfather?
What a bizarre twist!
"At that ti, both the Duan Family and the Nangong Family had already agreed."
"Only my mother firmly disagreed. Later, under the coercion of the old dog, my mother died to express her firm refusal, completely cutting off his thoughts."
"It was then that I left the Duan Family and entered the Inner City to struggle alone."
Luo Chen took out a brand-new glass and poured himself a glass of wine.
After gulping it down, he couldn’t help but sigh, "No wonder you call him an old dog all the ti. What Duan Qiankun did is really inhuman!"
He really took advantage of Duan Feng and his family until the very end.
"At that ti, I knew that tool casting and pill refinent are just ans."
"Only cultivation, only strength, is absolute!"
When Duan Feng said this, he glanced at Luo Chen.
