Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader

Chapter 1736: Chapter 1342: Saint Dynasty Marquis! The Worry of Top Powers! [Monthly Ticket Requested]

The news of the Regent King’s decree to appoint the Black Wind Village Chief Jiang Dali spread like a whirlwind to the ears of major forces across the Holy Dynasty.

In the He Family’s Manor, similar to some vassal state royal palaces, in the main hall of the Devotion Hall, a gigantic dining table was laid with dozens of exquisite dishes, yet only four people sat at the table, with two rows of people standing behind them, consisting of He family aides and servants in attendance.

The seated four were naturally the hosts, with the most prestigious seat occupied by He Family Master He Jin, accompanied by the eldest daughter He Lingxu, second daughter He Hongzhi, and third daughter He Lingyue sitting beside him.

It was well known that although He Jin was known as Jin Wudi, possessing superior skills and vast wealth, he was without male heirs, only having three daughters.

He Jin was also a particularly unconventional person, for knowing that there was no male heir to continue the He family’s business, he did not attempt to take a concubine to bear sons, and even continuously involved his three daughters in daily family governance discussions, as if intending to train them to take his place in the future.

This broad-mindedness, a commendable virtue admired by all, became not just simple open-mindedness considering the vast scale of the He family’s business, but an act many saw as reckless, putting the He family’s millennia-old enterprise at risk.

Yet He Jin, being such a clever businessman, shouldn’t engage in such unwise deals, and his intentions were known to few, which naturally did not stop many of the top forces within the Holy Dynasty from hoping to pair their offspring with He family’s daughters, so that upon He Jin’s abdication, a significant portion of the He family’s worldwide wealth could be shared.

At this moment, it was during the ’family governance’ time following an emergency family meeting in the He family, where He Jin and his three daughters gathered to discuss family affairs, focusing entirely on another important cooperative ally, Black Wind Village Chief Jiang Dali.

Among the three daughters, He Hongzhi was filled with enthusiasm, He Lingxu admired her father’s vision yet felt regret, while He Lingyue still harbored quite a bit of defiance, though by now it was considerably weaker.

He Jin took a bite of golden abalone, wiped his mouth with a warm towel, and casually said, "Everyone outside is saying that your father’s insight is consistently remarkable, having heavily invested in Master Jiang when he was only at the Returning to Truth realm level 5. Now, in just a few short months, a steadfast ally at the Returning to Truth realm level 9 has been gained. It’s just a pity that an ally remains an ally and will not be a suitable son-in-law for our He family."

Upon hearing this, He Lingyue could no longer hold back, lowered her head in grievance and said, "Father! You said that He family’s daughters are not required to partake in political marriages and have the right to pursue their happiness and freedom."

He Jin’s expression remained unchanged, but he put down the chopsticks he just picked up.

"Third Sister!"

He Hongzhi reproachfully glanced at He Lingyue, lightly kicked He Lingyue under the table, and seeing that He Jin wasn’t angry, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Father, Third Sister is still young and often doesn’t understand things. She can’t yet appreciate your well-meaning intentions."

The aides of the He family standing behind all kept their eyes down and focused, and during family governance times, they would never speak unless necessary.

Although He Jin was the incredibly wealthy magnate, he seemed helpless with his youngest daughter He Lingyue, or rather, he indeed never thought of forcing the youngest to do anything, as the He family didn’t need it. Pretending to be magnanimous, he laughed silently, "Lingyue, father is not blaming you, but hopes you learn a lesson from this matter. We, He family, can be willful, but we must have the eye for spotting gold. You have to learn this well from your two sisters."

He Lingyue displayed a smile of reluctant agreement, yet did not contradict He Jin’s words.

He Lingxu knew that her little sister’s character was unlike the He family’s offspring, which was not something that could be forced.

This great bet father placed on the Black Wind Village Chief was a planned fallback for He Lingyue rather than a gamble. Ultimately, the biggest beneficiary of all investments would not only be the He family but also He Lingyue. At least, even if He Lingyue didn’t possess the sharp eye expected of a He family heir, even if she was capricious, she would have a strong and handsome husband to accompany her, ensuring a lifetime of happiness and worry-free.

But alas, the so-called success is just as such, and failure is also just as such.

Precisely because He Lingyue lacked insight, she couldn’t seize such a rare opportunity, casting aside even the colossal investment before her with disdain.

While He Lingxu harbored jealousy, she also held admiration and disdain for her carefree unrestrained nature. Indeed, admiration and disdain simultaneously, a complex emotion beyond mere words, she shifted the topic, "Father, now that the Regent King has decreed to appoint Master Jiang, what position do you think the Regent King will appoint him to in the Holy Dynasty?"

Upon discussing this point, the atmosphere became serious, and numerous family aids pricked up their ears.

He Jin thought for a moment, then pondered, "This matter is not only speculated by me, but also the elderly folks of several other families are speculating as well. Initially, there wasn’t much that could be deduced, but we have already gleaned a piece of information. Not long after Master Jiang’s breakthrough, he exchanged blows with a formidable presence that had been dormant for years in a vassal state."

Everyone present was moved by this statement, and their disdain for the vassal state unwittingly diminished a little.

He Jin said in a profound tone, "Engaging with such a formidable presence isn’t too significant, the main issue is that their clash alarmed the Emperor!"
