In the Wan Family’s garden, Wan Chaoxin and a few young mbers of the Wan Family were drinking.
"Why does Li Xiu get to be the Commander as soon as he joins? Just because he organized a Super Spirit Tournant? With those lousy Super Spirits of his, Brother Xin could crush him with his eyes closed. We’re of similar age, so why can he be the Commander? Brother Xin has to be told he’s lacking in experience or age when he applies for Commander. What experience does Li Xiu have? It’s a double standard, dammit..." Wan Chaojue cursed while drinking.
"Nothing can be done, they say he has backing. I hear that people are saying in the city that Li Xiu is a mber of the Li Family, and he could even be the President’s illegitimate child." Wan Chaohua said from the side.
"So what if he’s an illegitimate child? Even if he were Li Qingyi, he shouldn’t be able to climb the ranks like that, should he?" Wan Chaojue retorted.
"How can that be the sa? Li Qingyi is a woman after all, but Li Xiu is a man. He might even be grood to inherit the President’s position soday." Wan Chaohua replied.
"I doubt it." Wan Chaojue snorted coldly, "The President is immortal, why would he need a successor? Even if Li Xiu is an illegitimate child, he can’t inherit the President’s position. At most, he’ll just be a Commander for a while."
Wan Chaoxin listened to the discussions but didn’t say a word, just continued drinking quietly.
"Brother Xin, say sothing. Our Wan Family has been working so hard for so many years, bleeding and sweating for the Eternal Heaven, and yet they won’t even give us a Commander position. That guy walks in and he’s given one, it’s too unfair." Wan Chaojue said, looking at Wan Chaoxin.
Wan Chaoxin’s gaze swept over everyone’s faces, and the chatterers fell silent.
"If this were before, would you find it unfair?" Wan Chaoxin asked calmly.
"It’s always been unfair; it’s an open secret." Wan Chaojue replied.
Wan Chaoxin gave him a cold glance and said, "Before, even if you knew things were unfair, you wouldn’t dare speak up like this, let alone curse. Now that Little Aunt has returned, you think you have backing and go around talking nonsense, thinking soone will support you?"
"I’m just stating the truth..." Wan Chaojue mumbled.
"The truth is, you’re causing trouble for Little Aunt and for our Wan Family." Wan Chaoxin snorted coldly, "If today’s words reach the President’s ears, what do you think he’ll think of our Wan Family, or of Little Aunt? Are you trying to push the Wan Family to a dead end?"
"We didn’t an that, it’s just that the association is being unfair to you, Brother Xin..." Wan Chaojue and the others quickly said.
"There’s nothing unfair about it; not becoming a Commander before was due to my lack of ability. Don’t talk about fairness or unfairness. Absolute fairness never existed. Family power is also a part of strength. If I can’t beco a Commander, it’s because I’m not strong enough for other reasons." Wan Chaoxin said calmly, "Now that Little Aunt is back, our Wan Family’s strength is enough to rival the four major families, with the potential to advance further. But that doesn’t an you can be reckless, nor does it an you can ignore everyone else. Acting like nouveau riche will only harm you and our Wan Family."
"Brother Xin... I’m sorry... we..." Wan Chaojue and the others felt a bit uneasy.
"Focus on what you need to do; only the incompetent shout useless threats." Wan Chaoxin drank the wine in his cup and put it down, "What we need to fight for, we will fight for. What we need to get, we will get. Don’t worry, I will reclaim what’s ours. After Divining Celestial Secret, I will challenge the Commander position."
"Challenge the Commander position? Brother Xin, which Commander are you going to challenge?" Wan Chaojue and the others were shocked upon hearing this.
In Eternal Heaven, there indeed exists a rule of challenging the Commander. However, in recent years, it’s rare for anyone to use this rule to take a position.
Previously, when there were eight major families, but only six Commander positions, there were always two families that couldn’t get a Commander position.
So back then, the rule was set that if any of the eight families believed their strength was greater than the current six Commanders, they could challenge to obtain a Commander position.
Back then, it was a case of too many people and too few positions, leading to fierce competition.
But now, with only four families and still six Commander positions, the rule has rarely been used in recent years.
Besides, there are now seven Commander positions, so generally, there’s no need to fight for them.
Moreover, those who can beco Commanders now not only have trendous strength but also complex networks of relationships, not sothing easily shaken.
"Han Mingshou." Wan Chaoxin replied lightly.
"Brother Xin, Han Mingshou is Han Minghui’s biological brother. Now, Han Minghui seems to be becoming the head of the four families. Challenging Han Mingshou is tantamount to breaking off with the Han Family. Instead, challenging that newly appointed Commander, Li Xiu, might be easier. I’ve heard Han Mingshou’s Super Spirit Limit is comparable to Li Qingyi’s; defeating him won’t be easy." Wan Chaojue said.
"Do you think even if we don’t break off with the four families, they’ll agree to let our Wan Family beco the fifth family?" Wan Chaoxin sneered, "Stop dreaming. No one would willingly share their power. If our Wan Family wants to beco the fifth family, we have to break the monopoly of the four families. Sooner or later, we’ll have to confront them. Now that Little Aunt is back, as long as I can defeat Han Mingshou, even if the four families are unhappy, they won’t actually take action against our Wan Family. This is our opportunity."
