Chapter 1906: The Family's Decision

"Fine, go ahead." Chen Yu smiled slightly; Qiongsi, this guy, was actually quite clever at times.

At the very least, within the Shilaike Family, his mind turned the fastest compared to those of his peers among the direct descendants.

In a secret location of the Shilaike Family, this place was situated within the ancient castle on the westernmost side of the family estate.

This was their family Sacred Land, and under normal circumstances, no one was allowed to approach it.

After entering the ancient castle, Qiongsi explained his purpose to a butler dressed in a black robe, and then he waited here anxiously.

The interior of the ancient castle was dark and gloomy; although Qiongsi often came here, he still felt his hair stand on end.

A cold breeze kept drilling into his neck; this wisp of cold wind was not an illusion, but truly existed.

These cold winds made his teeth chatter incessantly, but he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

A moment later, the butler walked back and glanced at Qiongsi: "Lao Shilaike wants you to go in."

"Yes." Qiongsi hurriedly bowed respectfully and then walked in together with the butler.

Although the other party was only a butler, he had served three generations of Shilaike Heads of Family.

His age had already exceeded one hundred and twenty years, and he had not relied on any medicine, living until now purely by his own longevity.

As for why he was long-lived, Qiongsi was not clear; perhaps it was because his desires were relatively low.

His requirements for life were very simple, with no material possessions or desires, and no troublesome matters entangling him, so this was the key to his longevity.

Walking into the depths of the ancient castle, the lighting in this place was terrifyingly bright.

There were no modern things around, and even the surrounding lamps were the kind of kerosene lamps from the mid-last century.

The light in the room flickered, and the tall ancient castle appeared eerie and gloomy.

In front sat five elders, their entire bodies wrapped in black robes and coats.

Even their faces were covered with a thin layer of a Golden Mask; apart from their eyes, noses, and mouths, their entire faces were shielded by the masks.

Moreover, they wore gloves on their hands, and almost no skin was exposed on their entire bodies.

"Qiongsi..." the elder in the middle spoke: "Is everything you said just now true?"

"Lao Shilaike, my grandfather, you selected me as the future successor of the Shilaike, does this not show that you trust me very much?" Qiongsi knelt on the ground and muttered: "I swear in my name that everything I have said is true."

"That expert comes from Huaxia and is a very powerful Cultivator; he is proficient in Medicine, and it seems there is nothing in this world that can stump him."

"Why would he know the secrets of our Shilaike Family?" The old man in the middle had a majestic voice, and a glimmer of sharp light appeared in his eyes: "You must know that our family's secrets cannot be leaked to anyone."

Qiongsi felt somewhat unnatural being looked at by this gaze; he steadied himself and hurriedly said: "My respected Mr. Lao Shilaike, do you know what kind of days I have been living these past few days?"

"I was plotted against by some people with ulterior motives, and a few days ago I was even attacked by the Werewolf Clan; if it weren't for this gentleman saving me, I would probably have been dismembered by the Werewolf Clan by now."

"Get to the point." Lao Shilaike snorted; he did not like hearing the process, he only wanted to know what the result was.

"Yes, Lao Shilaike, he is an expert, and I sought him out just to protect myself." Qiongsi's tone was somewhat resentful: "When you and the several elders of the family were in seclusion, you didn't leave me any power."

"It is already a miracle that I can live until now; if I didn't find a way to find powerful people to protect me, wouldn't I have been torn to shreds by those people by now?"

The five family elders looked at each other and nodded slightly; regarding Qiongsi's plight, they felt it was indeed quite pitiful.

Because wanting to succeed such a large family was not a simple matter.

After all, it required tempering a person's courage and ability to adapt.

"Has this person's background been investigated?" Lao Shilaike asked.

"The moment I came into contact with him, I investigated his background." Qiongsi felt the pressure from these elders suddenly Songyi: "His background is clean, there are no problems."

"Are you sure?" Lao Shilaike scrutinized Qiongsi, trying to see a flaw on his face.

"I can swear in the name of my late mother that his background is clear and there are no problems." Qiongsi said with conviction.

Although he felt a bit guilty, the expression on his face remained extremely calm; he could not let a single flaw be seen, otherwise, Chen Yu would be investigated by these people.

If these people found out that Chen Yu's true identity was the grandson of the God Lord, and that he came here to deal with the God Lord, then Qiongsi would be finished; not only would he not inherit the Shilaike Family, but he would also be kicked out by the family.

This was not a small matter, so he had to hold firm, otherwise, the consequences would be very serious.

"Very well, we will believe you for now." Finally, Lao Shilaike shifted his gaze away.

Only then did Qiongsi let out a sigh of relief, and he said cautiously: "Respected Lao Shilaike, can I invite him over now?"

"Why invite him over?" Lao Shilaike's tone was full of confusion: "Does he need to come into contact with me to improve my current state?"

"He is a... Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner." Qiongsi said: "And he needs to use medicine individually according to the conditions of you and the several Elders, otherwise it will not achieve the expected effect."

"Are you joking, Qiongsi?" An Elder spoke up, saying angrily: "Our situation is caused by genetic modification; what can a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner do?"

"He truly has the ability to let you recover, and at the lowest cost." Qiongsi said: "Elder, why don't you give him a chance to try?"

"Heh, Qiongsi, you should leave." Another Elder spoke: "Our state is genetic modification; unless we use the God Lord's genetic inhibitor, we can only recover temporarily."

"But every time this inhibitor is used, the subsequent rebound is even more severe; this belongs to the realm of science, and I think Traditional Chinese Medicine is just Metaphysics; how could he possibly solve our problem?"

"Oh, heh, Second Elder, haven't you heard a saying? The end of science is theology." Qiongsi said solemnly: "So I think you have to try it to know if it works or not."

"Qiongsi, you don't need to say any more; our situation cannot be solved by the methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine, you go back." Lao Shilaike waved his hand: "I don't know for what reason you trust him so much, but he cannot solve our situation."
