Chapter 1140: Chapter 17: Where Is Justice? Justice Is Here!
As a result, the young master’s reaction was greatly beyond the family head’s expectations.
"Isn’t it natural for them to contribute to the family?" The young master said calmly, as if it was self-evident.
The family head was stunned.
"The Lin Family is gradually declining. I bear the responsibility of revitalizing the family. Shouldn’t they sacrifice themselves a bit? Revitalizing the family can’t rely solely on me, right?" The young master argued confidently.
Upon hearing this, the family head felt a mix of joy and relief: "My son is right. For the revitalization of the family, what does this sacrifice count for? My son is indeed destined for great prospects, not swayed by trivial matters. Someday, my son will lead our family to soar to new heights!"
After this incident, the family ceased hiding the matter of selling daughters from the young master and even involved him in decision-making.
Some within the family opposed this practice, but their voices were too weak to have any effect.
This time, the young master proposed offering his own younger sister, Lin Ying’er, to a Nascent Soul cultivator in exchange for more resources.
This time, the family head hesitated.
This was not a daughter from a subordinate branch; this was his own biological daughter.
"Ying Ze, let’s choose someone else. This is your sister," the family head said in a negotiating tone to the young master.
"But those other girls are not as talented as Lin Ying’er. Besides, the conditions offered by that Nascent Soul cultivator are really good." The young master remained unmoved.
"But that cultivator... is said to have some bad habits. I’m afraid your sister might suffer there," the family head hesitated to say.
"What’s wrong with making some sacrifices for the family?" The young master questioned his father, "The family has raised her well, fed and clothed her nicely; shouldn’t she fulfill her duty now? If the daughters from the subordinate branches can fulfill their duties, why can’t she?"
The family head frowned slightly, feeling that this wasn’t right but unsure of how to argue.
"So what you mean is, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility? Should they exert more effort for the family’s revitalization?" Suddenly, a voice interjected abruptly.
"Of course," the young master blurted out. After speaking, he suddenly snapped back to himself and shouted, "Who’s there?!"
The family head was also taken aback—who was it? Who dared to appear silently in their study. Every time he discussed matters with his son, he would have people guard the door, not allowing anyone near.
The speaker evidently did not alert those guarding outside, appearing suddenly in their study. To what extent had this person’s strength reached?
"Who are you?" The young master asked, frowning at the woman suddenly appearing by the window.
"I also think what you said makes sense. The more capable, the more they should bear responsibility for the family." Kong Hou crossed her arms in front of her chest, a cold smile playing on her lips as she looked at the young master and spoke in a mocking tone.
But the young master clearly didn’t catch the sarcasm in Kong Hou’s tone. He smiled and said, "Yes, this young lady speaks correctly. May I ask who you are and why you suddenly appeared in our study?" He wasn’t entirely foolish, knowing that the woman before him had profound skills not to be provoked. It might be better to form a good relationship; it could be beneficial for his cultivation.
Kong Hou looked at the flattery in the young master’s eyes, feeling utterly repulsed. How could some humans be so wonderfully good, while others be so filthy and shameless?
