Chapter 49 Decision
Yue Family.
After sending Alkaid back to Yu Garden, Yue Xingzhou returned to the Yue Family.
When he returned to the Yue Family, three people were already waiting in the innermost conference room.
Family Head of the Yue Family, Yue Nanxing.
The top martial master in charge of the External Affairs Hall, Yue Tianfeng.
The last one...
Was unexpectedly a stranger.
However, there was information about him in the Tian Nan Higher Prosecution Office.
Huang Yan, a top power from the underworld, not only was he a Grandmaster himself, but he also reportedly had a force of over a hundred elite armed personnel and had participated in a military coup of a small country in East Continent.
"You've arrived?"
Seeing Yue Xingzhou return, Yue Nanxing said, "Phone calls aren't clear enough, what's the exact situation?"
"That Xia Wuyuan, should we deal with him?"
Huang Yan was blunt.
"Don't."
Yue Xingzhou hurriedly said.
After pondering for a moment, he added another sentence, "This matter... has become a bit different."
"Different? How so?"
Yue Tianfeng hurriedly said, "Uncle Four, you don't really manage family operations, so you wouldn't know the terrifying power hidden behind the Rebirth Society. Not to mention that we were coerced by Xia Wuyuan into dealing with this behemoth, even if we did engage with this organization, we should quickly turn our weapons into jade and silk."
"Wei Kongming's methods are too clever; we have not had an easy time recently. If he seizes the opportunity provided by Xia Wuyuan, our Yue Family's situation will become even tougher. So, let's first listen to what the fourth elders have to say."
Yue Nanxing waved his hand.

"What I'm saying is a bit different... The key change doesn't concern Xia Wuyuan, it's the reinforcement he invited."
Yue Xingzhou said gravely, "The helper is not who we anticipated, neither Leng Jun nor Su Chixin, nor any mysterious powerhouses but Su Alkaid."
"Su Alkaid?"
Yue Nanxing, Yue Tianfeng, and Huang Yan were all somewhat puzzled.
That name...
They hadn't heard of it.
"The son of Su Huaifeng and Zhang Ya, who has lived outside the capital for almost a decade and has only recently been recognized by the Su Family."
Yue Xingzhou said.
"Recognized by the Su Family just recently? The Su Family really got lucky."
Yue Tianfeng was somewhat emotional, "Looks like another Zhang Tianji?"
"It seems, we need to change our strategy towards the Su Family..."
Yue Nanxing followed up.
However, before he could finish his sentence, he seemed to realize something, "Wait! Su Huaifeng and Zhang Ya's son!?"
He suddenly looked at Yue Xingzhou, "I remember Su Huaifeng's eldest daughter is only twenty-five years old! Their son!?"
"Yes!"
Yue Xingzhou nodded emphatically, "That Su Alkaid, is only nineteen years old this year!"
"Nineteen years old!?"
"Grandmaster!?"
"Fourth Uncle, you aren't joking?"
Yue Nanxing, Yue Tianfeng, and Huang Yan almost exclaimed in unison.
"Why would I joke about such a thing."
"Meaningless speculation, that's all."
Yue Nanxing shook his head, "Just like a slight fluctuation in gold prices, experts immediately emerge claiming that Snow Dragon and Red Star are going to break out in full-scale war, urging people to store gold for safety. But whether it's Snow Dragon or Red Star, or even including our countries in Dayu, essentially we are all one family. A full-scale war? How could it even start."
"Then how do you explain that period of turmoil?"
Huang Yan immediately countered.
Suddenly...
Yue Nanxing fell silent.
He looked at these images for a while before turning back to Yue Xingzhou, "You experienced it firsthand, what's your opinion?"
"For a hundred years, our Yue Family has chosen the path of wise self-preservation, but... over these years, the Royal Family of Dayu has repeatedly broken the baseline shared between the Royal Family and the noble families, and more and more noble families have perished. If this continues, our Yue Family will inevitably follow the footsteps of other families.
Now, the appearance of such obviously abnormal things within the Rebirth Society undoubtedly proves that the world has already undergone tremendous changes..."
Yue Xingzhou took a deep breath, "The old rules have been broken, and the world is in a state of unprecedented turmoil. Our Yue Family is completely ignorant and can only passively await our destiny... Rather than that, it might be better to take a risk."
"Necessity breeds ingenuity."
Huang Yan agreed with this statement.
Yue Nanxing did not make a statement, only looked at him, "What kind of risk-taking are you suggesting?"
"Su Alkaid."
Yue Xingzhou said, "I think we can place our bets on Su Alkaid."
"A nineteen-year-old Grandmaster..."
Yue Nanxing pondered.
He indeed had the qualifications worthy of significant investment.
But it concerned the entire Yue Family...
"Su Alkaid has the Su Family behind him, even if our Yue Family stakes heavily on him, the future may not necessarily bring substantial benefits,"
Yue Tianfeng reminded.
"The Su Family? That's also called a family?"
Huang Yan scoffed.
"Do you really think highly of him?"
Yue Nanxing looked at Yue Xingzhou.
Meanwhile, Yue Xingzhou's mind flashed back to his conversation with Xia Wuyuan...
Monsters strong enough to match Grandmasters, Su Alkaid had killed more than one.
Plus that astonishing sword he thrust when saving him...
Su Alkaid's strength was definitely not as simple as that of an ordinary Grandmaster.
Additionally...
He seemed to possess a secret technique, capable of sensing these monsters.
Based on this, he seemed to inherently contain the potential to become a "variable."
Therefore...
"Yes."
Yue Xingzhou nodded, "I believe that he not only has the hope of becoming a Martial Saint but might even seize that opportunity to leap over the dragon gate."
Leaping over the dragon gate.
This phrase caused a change in the expressions of Yue Tianfeng and Huang Yan.
Yue Nanxing was no exception.
"Then go for it."
After a while, the Family Head of the Yue Family suddenly said, "I have reports that the Su Family bought a batch of herbs. We have these herbs in our storeroom and of better quality. Moreover, the Su Family plans to buy a 5A-level Battle Garment from the Ten Thousand Laws Convention originating from Red Star.
I was initially surprised that the Su Family would be so willing, but now it seems that this Battle Garment is being bought for Su Alkaid."
He looked at Yue Xingzhou, "Select a batch of medicine, a bottle of Snow Ginseng Pill, and also take that 1S-level Battle Garment from the storeroom and personally deliver it to him as a thank you for saving your life."
