In the hospital, Bei Shan's leg was in a cast.
Beside him was Xu Cheng.
Bei Shan was silent and didn't want to talk.
Xu Cheng's eyes were about to pop out of his face.
"Just tell me," Xu Cheng said. "Even if you don't tell me, I will still go to the Long Family."
Bei Shan snorted and continued to turn his head in another direction.
"You really don't want to tell me?" Xu Cheng asked again. Seeing that Bei Shan was still silent, Xu Cheng stood up and retreated a few meters, preparing to jog over. Bei Shan's legs tightened and he said, "Stop."
Then, he began to say, "Clans have been passed down since ancient times. Speaking of real clans, there are ancient families in Huaxia, as well as the British Empire. There are also big families from thousands of years of culture. As for those European and American consortiums or the Roosevelt Family, their family history is considered short. But in Huaxia, there have been clans since the feudal era. Some of these clans are attached to the government, and some are living in seclusion. Those clans that are attached to the government may be the most powerful in the current era, but they will fall with the fall of a certain dynasty. Only a small number of clans that are living in seclusion have a lukewarm history, but they are able to survive for a long time. "
"The survivability of these clans is very tenacious. Their purpose is not to seek glory, splendor, wealth, or power for a moment, but to pass on the family's blood for generations to come. Over time, they formed their own faction, and their heritage is very deep. Because they have witnessed the rise and fall of a thousand years of dynasties, they can see more clearly than anyone else. They will never bet everything on a dynasty, but they are very adaptable. In any dynasty, they can quickly get protection from the government by investing in the children of poor families. They can also invest. From ancient times until now, when the country was founded, there were also shadows of their financial support. Now, there are only four surviving clans: the Long Family, the Ye Family, the Gongsun Family, and the Li Family. Although they did not participate in the court politics, there were nobles in the court that they had helped before. These nobles had all embarked on the path of official careers or riches with the help of the clan. Therefore, although the members of the clan did not seem to be in the court, they had great influence. If you were to compete with them in terms of financial resources, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to compete with them. If you were to compete with them in terms of background, I'm afraid that other than the few big shots at the moment, it would be very difficult for anyone to say that they could fight them head-on. After all, after the election, if someone supported by the clan came to power, wouldn't you be unable to protect your chastity at night? Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, no one would wrestle with them in terms of power. In that case, there is only one way for you to defeat them, and that is through brute force! "
Then, Bei Shan looked at Xu Cheng and said, "But in terms of strength, you also saw it last night. Just their high-level guards are all A-level masters. Think about it, how many A-level people are there in the entire military? Out of all the experts in this year's competition, I'm afraid only Bagge and Ye Xiu are A-rank. Compared to those big families, you can only be described as shabby! "
Xu Cheng nodded. "Then why are those guards willing to stay at home and not try their luck in the army?"
Bei Shan: "Try my a * s. For example, you, Ye Xiu, and the others. Even if you become the champion every year, the highest rank you get is a lieutenant colonel. You are a special case, and you were promoted to colonel, but do you think a colonel has a lot of power? In terms of administrative power, it's probably not even as good as growing up in a county. Their annual salary and benefits are only so-so. For ordinary people, they don't have to worry about money for the rest of their lives, but they aren't too rich either. It's different if they follow a big family. Their annual salary and benefits are in the millions, and the key is that they can hold their heads up high wherever they go. This country has a lot of people in the military, so the route they take is definitely not the most refined, and the salary system naturally needs to be reasonable. So, these top talents can only run to the nouveau riche big families. So, the only thing you can compete with the big families is brute force, but they can also beat you to death. Tell me, why are the big families like the Ye Family and the Long Family so powerful? So, a little brat like you holding a knife and telling me to go hack people, other than seeing you as a lunatic, what else can I take you for? "
Bei Shan casually picked up the water bottle from the table, took a sip, and continued, "As far as I know, the current family head, Long Xiao, has the strength of an SS! I know he's the culprit behind your father's death, but don't forget, the Long Family has 8 S + level masters and 12 core S level masters. Remember, this is just the number from a few years ago, not to mention that the entire family has at least 200 A-level guards. In addition, the most terrifying one is the old man who hasn't passed away yet. He's probably around 80 or 90 years old, and his strength is estimated to be SS +! I'm not trying to scare you, every year, the head of the sect also takes us Dragon Blades to those big families to spar and learn from each other, so I have a deep understanding of them. "
Xu Cheng slowly sat up on the edge of the bed in confusion. "Am I just going to ignore my mother like this? I didn't know she was locked up before, but now that I know, if I still act like I don't know, then I'm really not human! Regardless of whether she raised me or not, in short, she is my birth mother. Even if it's just to let her go to my father's grave to repent, I have to save her! "
Bei Shan snorted. "Do you think you are Chen Xiang? Your Lotus Lamp has seen too much of you! This is reality, and you have to see the essence of the problem. You should save whoever you can, but do you think your mother would be happy to see you die? She's so sad that every day feels like a year. If you die, then your whole family can only end up in tragedy. "
Xu Cheng didn't mind and said, "Chen Xiang isn't that great, he has Sun Wukong's help, okay?"
When Bei Shan heard the name Sun Wukong, his eyes immediately lit up. "Actually, you also have Sun Wukong."
Xu Cheng: "Who?"
Bei Shan: "Grandpa."
Xu Cheng couldn't help but laugh. "He's just a pile of bones, the wind can blow him away, and you are telling me he's Sun Wukong?"
Bei Shan said, "The old man is still very capable. Why did I ask you to bear with it and keep a low profile? You should hide first and shamelessly learn from the old man. When you come out of seclusion, it will be the day you become the Act Tough King."
Xu Cheng was speechless. "You said it yourself, with a big family like the Long Family, do you think they would let you go into seclusion to show off? They would probably make you hide until the end like Brother Six from the Calabash Brothers. "
Bei Shan: "That's why I told you to leave here for now. Just treat it as a mission and go to Wei Nation to do a few things. Just stay there for a bit and listen to me. I need to arrange your daily life."
"I don't want to. Every time I think about my mom being locked up in that godforsaken place, I can't even swallow my food." Xu Cheng said, "I can't hold back my power anymore."
Bei Shan: "Brother, your mom has been locked up for more than 20 years, there's no need to rush, right? Why would I want to live like this? "
Xu Cheng nodded. "I understand, Senior Brother."
At this moment, a nurse came over and said, "Please sign the bill."
Xu Cheng immediately looked at Bei Shan, and Bei Shan glared at him. "What are you looking at me for? Didn't you cause this injury? You don't want to pay, and you want me to pay? "
Xu Cheng: "I was in a hurry to get you to the hospital and forgot to bring my wallet."
Bei Shan wanted to cry but no tears came out. "Get lost."
