Family Management Game In Immortal Continent Chapter 846: The Min family

"Let's go! We're leaving right now!"

Fei Heng bowed his head low while an immense grip seized his wrist; those oily, plump hands yanked him along.

He lifted his gaze to spot "Big Fatty" Li, his body resembling a towering peak that emitted a suffocating aura.

Li Yuanshang's cheeks, stacked with layers of affluent fat, displayed a fierce and bold demeanor.

"I've been waiting for Your Highness, the Crown Prince, to arrive!

Those folks from the Min family are worthless. Can you believe what that scum Min Nantian claimed?

He declared that without Min Youguo's influence, he'd never consent to linking up with a useless trader like me through marriage! Hmph!

Now with Your Highness's support, I'll show him what he's really worth!"

Fei Heng appeared completely confused, yet Li Yuanshang offered no opportunity for him to respond.

The servants from the Li family's trading division lifted him straight into the imperial carriage.

Li Yuanshang crammed his massive form into another vehicle, and the convoy departed in splendor toward the Min estate.

After two hours, the pair settled into seats at the Min residence on Longleaf Mountain.

The Min family's Grotto-Heaven lay concealed inside a plain apricot tree.

Inside, everything felt remarkably simple, with delicate bridges spanning gentle brooks and humble huts scattered about.

Stepping into the central chamber, they encountered a figure in rough fabric robes, his face serene, positioned in the main seat as he calmly drank his tea.

Though composed, he exuded an innate command—a vibe even stronger than Min Youguo's.

This was Min Nantian, the head of the Min family.

"..."

Once the time for a cup of tea had passed, Li Yuanshang and Crown Prince Fei Heng emerged from Longleaf Mountain, sharing puzzled looks.

[Your descendant Li Yuanshang and Young Master Fei Heng went to the Min family to pick a quarrel, but instead heaped flattery upon the Min Family Patriarch, Min Nantian. Obtained a gift from Min Nantian: one Top-Grade Spirit Artifact.]

Li Yuanshang stared at the Top-Grade Spirit Artifact clutched in his palm, stuck in an uncomfortable hush for a long stretch.

Then, clenching his jaw, he smashed the item down onto the earth.

"See! Just see! He shows zero respect for us at all!

Come on, let's head back. United, the pair of us can conquer anything beneath the skies!"

"Forget it! Just forget it!"

Fei Heng quickly restrained Li Yuanshang, his expression brimming with frustration.

He had first thought there existed some profound, secret feud between the Li family and the Min family.

Yet now, observing closely, he saw that this Li Yuanshang was merely a shameless rogue.

Watching the obese man fixated on returning to salvage his dignity, Fei Heng sighed in resignation, "Quit stirring trouble with him. Securing a marriage tie with the Min family is already a huge boon."

"What do you have to fear?" Li Yuanshang scowled, his eyes bulging wide.

"The Immortal Zhao Clan crumbled before my Li family!

You hold the title of Crown Prince, while I possess ample Spirit Stones.

I've grown close to folks in the Immortal Suppression Department lately too. As allies, nothing can stand against us!"

"You're underestimating the Min family, and you're underestimating Min Youguo."

Fei Heng shook his head.

"Long before my Father Emperor claimed the Mandate of Heaven, the Min family had already established itself in this realm.

It wasn't Min Youguo who elevated the Min family; instead, the Min family's support allowed Min Youguo to shoulder such vital duties under my Father Emperor.

"The Min family yields geniuses across every era.

Their reach stretches into the shadowy powers of the world.

Even a genius like Min Tiange, leader of the Peerless Hall, turns out to be Min Youguo's offspring."

"What?" Li Yuanshang's face twisted in shock.

"Be it me or your Li clan, we lag far behind such a colossal force.

It's wiser to keep relations amicable with them."

With that said, Fei Heng, freshly named Crown Prince, left in low spirits, his steps weighed down.

...

At the same time, deep in the Min family's timeless Grotto-Heaven, Li Wei had slipped inside long ago, trailing right after Li Yuanshang.

In that short span, Li Wei performed several probes to assess the divide between his lineage and a genuine powerhouse like the Min family.

One look filled him with profound dismay.

His kin still celebrated their Third Grade Spirit Vein, but under the Min residence twisted three separate surges of Flood Dragon Qi.

Intense presences rippled through the space; Min Nantian had advanced to the Integration realm.

As Li Yuanshang ventured farther off, Li Wei—tied as his Old Ancestor—had to withdraw too, catching the tail end of their exchange.

"Min Tiange... Peerless Hall!"

Li Wei's features grew grim.

Back in the day, when Yaotie almost died attempting Divinity Transformation, the culprits hailed from the Peerless Hall.

To evade Old Ancestor Tianguang's Spiritual power from the Heavenly Light Sect and disrupt Li Yaotie's Lightning Tribulation...

Only an Integration realm expert could pull off something like that.

Lost in these reflections, Li Wei appeared next to Li Yaowen.

Li Wei noticed Li Yaowen enjoying a break from her reincarnation loop.

She sat in a lively urban area... munching on a watermelon as mortals clashed around her?

Peering nearer, Li Wei observed Yaowen casually spitting seeds into her palm, then tossing some at bystanders, escalating the tussle into a wild melee.

Li Wei now grasped how the onlookers had ignited their brawl initially.

"..."

Li Wei chose not to step in. After all, at this stage in life, a touch of naughtiness in a child is expected.

He swiftly drew Li Yaowen into the Ancestral Space and shared the details he'd gleaned from Fei Heng.

After all, Li Yaowen remained the sensible choice.

Should the rest of the clan learn of it, they'd surely rush headlong into action.

The Peerless Hall by itself posed a giant too vast for them to tackle, especially with Min Tiange carrying that mighty family name.

Who could have guessed—Li Yaowen stood speechless.

The visage within the dark mist soured. "You've known this for a while? Why keep it from me?"

Li Yaowen dropped her gaze, appearing fully like one guilty and braced for reprimand.

Right away, Li Wei called forth Li Dalong and the rest.

Li Dalong with his spouse, plus Li Yaoqing and Li Yaotie, all arrived with lowered heads.

Li Yaozu, though, boiled with fury.

"So what if he bears the Min name? We'll carve out a path to end him anyway!"

Li Wei abruptly saw why the others had hidden this from him.

Did his family view him—their Old Ancestor—as equally rash and short-fused as Yaozu?

His mind had settled into tranquil depths long ago, weighing every issue with care.

How could he remain that impulsive youth from school days past?

"Eldest Brother, hold back your impulses."

Surprisingly, it was Li Yaotie—the former firebrand—who now displayed poise.

"That incident lies years in the past; I've nearly erased it from memory, and that Min guy has probably done the same.

Moreover, the Min family now shares blood ties with us through marriage, and Min Youguo works alongside us often.

Let a trivial grudge fade away like mist."

Fade away like mist? Deep down, releasing it fully proved impossible.

All bowed their heads. In truth, their power fell short of their rivals'.

Further talk on it would just bring more heavy sighs, so they dropped the subject.

Li Wei declared,

"In these times, our Li clan fully commands Azure Cloud Prefecture.

Fei Heng serves as the current Crown Prince, and our bonds with Min Youguo plus the Grand Preceptor grow ever tighter. It's indeed a phase for recovery, consolidation, and plotting growth.

All of you need to focus on Cultivation.

The Human Emperor's life draws to its close.

Push your Cultivation to the level where the Void-Soul Exchanging Dao Technique becomes viable, and do it swiftly."

"Yes, Old Ancestor!"

The offspring left one by one.

Li Wei drew in a steady breath and checked his own Spiritual power.

"I too must intensify my Cultivation. I haven't reached True Void Refining yet... but it's drawing near."

"Min Tiange, bide your time. Once my Yaotie gains true might, he'll crush you flat!"
