Chapter 1767: Do As You Think Best

"Do as you think best." Beiwu Xiong pondered cautiously for a long time before nodding solemnly and saying, "Your analysis is well-founded, so we can only stake everything on Chen Yu now. We cannot remain neutral; we must take action to support him."

"Alright, I understand, Father. I will talk to him immediately and provide him with the list of the Songyi Family's direct descendants as well as some core secrets." Xingzi let out a long sigh of relief.

Truth be told, she had always wanted to make this decision, but she knew this decision was insane.

That was why she had been hesitant, but after consulting her father, a heavy stone in her heart finally landed, and she knew what she should do next.

"Xingzi, you are the most capable person in our Beiwu Family. Although you are a woman, you are stronger than your brothers, which is why I tried my best to push you into this position back then," Beiwu Xiong smiled slightly. "So, go ahead and do it with confidence."

"From now on, you may decide everything yourself. I am old, and my mindset and perspective cannot keep up with yours, so in the future, as long as you feel something is right, there is no need to discuss it with me."

"Thank you, Father. I know what to do." Xingzi bowed deeply. "I am going to see Chen Yu now."

In a teahouse, Chen Yu met Xingzi.

"Mr. Chen, these are the lists of some of the Songyi Family's direct descendants, as well as some of their industrial secrets, layouts, and their core Elder layer." Xingzi pushed a thick file folder forward.

Chen Yu took the file folder. He had intended to open it, but he hesitated for a moment and then set it back down.

"These things are indeed what I need. Although I have other ways to find out, it would be quite troublesome," Chen Yu said. "However, I know there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. You are taking a huge risk by giving me these things. Tell me, what do you want?"

"I want nothing," Xingzi smiled slightly.

"Then take these things back; I don't want them," Chen Yu shook his head. "I only accept equivalent exchanges. You give me things, then make a request; that counts as an equivalent exchange."

"If you give these things to me directly, I will not take them, because you haven't made an equivalent request, and I don't know what you are actually trying to do."

"Mr. Chen, I don't have any other intentions," Xingzi said. "I just want to express my goodwill to Mr. Chen, nothing more."

"I don't believe it," Chen Yu shook his head directly. "Although you and the Songyi Family are not allies, you are not enemies either. There is no need for you to kick them while they are down."

"If you want to talk about conditions, I have one. I only hope for a promise from Mr. Chen: that if one day our Beiwu Clan faces life or death, please, Mr. Chen, must step in to help us once. That is all."

"Is your request that low?" Chen Yu looked at Xingzi in confusion. Truth be told, he did not quite understand her actions.

Chen Yu also knew of the Beiwu Clan's influence in Fusang; one could see the strength of the Beiwu Family just from Xingzi's status.

The thing she spoke of was basically impossible to happen. Besides, there was a reason the Beiwu Family had helped her rise to power; her ability was very strong, and under normal circumstances, no one could compare to her.

"Yes, there is only this one request; apart from this, I have no other desires," Xingzi smiled.

"I don't think so," Chen Yu shook his head. "This request of yours is not too high, and you don't need to take such a big risk. How do you know that I will definitely win in this battle against the Songyi Family?"

"I have confidence in Mr. Chen. And although we have no grudges with the Songyi Family, if they fall, we will have one less competitor."

"In that case, we will have more resources, so no matter how you calculate it, it is beneficial for us."

Chen Yu stared at Xingzi, while Xingzi wore a smile, looking straight at Chen Yu without the slightest fear.

After a long while, Chen Yu nodded slightly and said, "Alright then, you have indeed convinced me. I will accept these things."

"Then thank you, Mr. Chen." Xingzi stood up and bowed slightly to Chen Yu. "The future fate of our Beiwu Clan is entrusted to Mr. Chen."

"You are going a bit too far by saying that," Chen Yu said helplessly. "I accept your goodwill, and I also guarantee that as long as I am here, your Beiwu Clan will not face a catastrophe, but I did not say I would help you solve everything."

"I understand Mr. Chen's meaning, and please rest assured, Mr. Chen, we will not come to Mr. Chen for every little thing without reason," Xingzi said. "We only need to possess Mr. Chen's goodwill."

"That's good," Chen Yu smiled. "I have received your family's goodwill, so don't worry. Furthermore, I guarantee that the Songyi Family will soon be destroyed; as for how much profit you can grab then, that will depend on you."

"I know, thank you," Xingzi smiled faintly. "My father respects Mr. Chen very much. If there is an opportunity, please do us the honor of visiting our humble home."

"Your father, Beiwu Xiong?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes, does Mr. Chen know him?" Xingzi asked.

"I know him. He is an old politician. Before he retired, he supported many of our Huaxia affairs," Chen Yu nodded slightly, then took out a pill. "This is a gift for him."

"This is?" Xingzi was slightly startled and hurriedly reached out to take the pill.

The pill was the size of a red date and fragrant to the touch. Although she did not know what it was, Xingzi felt it was certainly no ordinary item.

Because she knew how heaven-defying Chen Yu's Medicine was; it was almost an existence capable of bringing the dead back to life.

"Consider it a gift for your father. This is a type of medicine I made myself. After taking it, it will prolong life and ward off all illnesses; even the minor ailments he has now will be completely cured," Chen Yu said indifferently. "It has only benefits and no harm for him; feel free to let him take it."

"Many thanks, Mr. Chen." Xingzi was overjoyed. This could be considered some goodwill Chen Yu was returning to her. She knew Chen Yu was skilled in the Dao of Medicine, so these things were definitely as he said, and perhaps the effects would be even better than he claimed.

In fact, that was indeed the case. Although Chen Yu spoke of it lightly, his medicine could prolong a person's life by twenty years and ward off all illnesses. If this thing were auctioned off, it wouldn't go for less than a billion, and it would always be priceless with no market.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. I will convey your goodwill to my father." Xingzi bowed slightly to Chen Yu and then retreated.
