To kill or not to kill, it was only a matter of time.
According to Qin Lang's original plan, he was going to kill Duan Zhangye, but now he gave up on the idea and decided to save Duan Zhangye's daughter, Duan Xue.
Sometimes, Qin Lang had to laugh at himself. Perhaps, as Tang San had said, he was not a real killer, because killers could not be merciful.
There were few perfect things in this world. Duan Zhangye wanted his daughter to be healthy, so the Duan family had to make some sacrifices. If Duan Zhangye was not willing to sacrifice the last bit of his family's interests, his love for his daughter would not be sincere.
If he agreed to Qin Lang's conditions, the Duan family might be in danger.
After hesitating for a while and weighing the pros and cons, Duan Zhangye agreed to Qin Lang's request. "Although reason tells me that it might be unwise to agree to your conditions, my intuition tells me that you should be a trustworthy person, because I believe that you won't hurt Xue Ning."
Duan Zhangye agreed to the conditions, and then Qin Lang returned to the Duan family with him.
The "immortal" in a long gown who had been in the Duan family before had left. From Duan Zhangye's words, Qin Lang speculated that the man in the long gown should be from the cultivation world. Every ten years, the man would appear and take spirit stones from the Duan family. The Duan family could get some ordinary elixirs and some gold from him.
After arriving at the Duan family, Duan Zhangye began to clear the Feng Shui spirit stones around the mansion according to Qin Lang's instructions. After taking away the Feng Shui spirit stones, the spirit veins that had been cut off by the Duan family would be unblocked and dispersed.
Duan Zhangye's hiring people to dig the foundation of the mansion naturally attracted the attention of the rest of the Duan family, especially the direct descendants of the Duan family, who objected to Duan Zhangye's actions. They thought that Duan Zhangye was "listening to slander" and doing something stupid.
"Second brother, are you crazy? Why are you digging the foundation? "Duan Changxing, Duan Zhangye's third brother, had the strongest objection. Duan Changxing thought that although the Duan family's luck was declining, it was still a treasured place with good Feng Shui, so it should be able to prosper soon. However, if the old mansion's Fengshui was disturbed, the Duan Family would be completely finished.
"Third Brother, don't deceive yourself. The Duan Family's Fengshui is already bad. If we don't turn it around in time, our entire family will be gone. Think about it. Among the four of us, who had a son? Who has a living son? Which descendant is healthy? "Duan Zhangye said sorrowfully.
"Second brother, I told you that you're crazy!" Duan Changxing continued, "You've gone crazy from missing your son, haven't you? But have you ever thought about it? As long as we have money, as long as we are safe, our son's problem will be easily solved. Aren't there test tube babies and surrogacy now? If it doesn't work, you can hire a dozen women. Can't you give birth to a son? "
"It's none of my business!" Duan Changye roared, "The Duan Family is doomed, understand? Don't think that you can just sit around and eat, don't think that you can reap without sowing! Get out of my way, don't block my way! "
"You can't do this!" Duan Changxing stood in front of Duan Changye and said to the other direct descendants of the Duan Family, "Did you see that? My second brother has gone crazy! He's no longer qualified to be the head of the Duan Family! Now, you have to make a decision. You can't let him continue to be the head of the family — "
Bang!
Before Duan Changxing could finish, he was kicked away by Duan Zhangye. Duan Zhangye said to Duan Changxing, who was lying on the ground, "Even if I, Duan Zhangye, am not qualified to be the head of the family, it won't be your turn!"
"Third Brother is not qualified, but what about Big Brother?"
At this moment, another discordant voice sounded. The owner of this voice was Duan Zhangye's eldest brother, Duan Changtian.
"Big Brother, you're here too? Muddy water? " In Duan Zhangye's impression, his eldest brother, Duan Changtian, had always been a mature and steady person who had no interest in the family's power. He did not expect that Duan Changtian would jump out at this time to make things difficult for him.
"Me? Muddy water? " Duan Changtian let out a long laugh. "Second Brother, you've gotten used to being the head of the family all these years, so you've forgotten that this position was supposed to be mine. However, because Father was biased toward you, the position that originally belonged to me was given to you. Do you know why I've never been interested in the position of the family head? It's because I don't dare to be interested. Back then, the old master was ruthless. He would do anything just to make you the head of the family. Fortunately, the old master is gone now. Otherwise, he would have died of anger because of what you've done. Destroying your own foundation, I don't know why you would come up with such a stupid idea! "
"Destroying my own foundation?" Duan Zhangye laughed coldly. "I'm destroying and building again! As the descendants of the Duan Family, don't you feel that our Duan Family is getting worse with each generation? If we continue to stay here, the only thing that awaits us is death! Today, I've changed the feng shui according to the master's instructions, so we can start over again. "
"Master? What master? What kind of master is there? "
Duan Changtian glanced around before his gaze finally landed on Qin Lang. "The master you're talking about is this little brat? You're really out of your mind to destroy the Duan Family's foundation for the sake of a little brat's words. Members of the Duan Family, listen carefully. This is the kind of crazy words your family head would say! Duan Zhangye, it seems like you're really out of your mind. You're indeed not suitable to be the family head of the Duan Family anymore. You can leave, you can leave this place, but we'll live and die with the Duan Family! "
Without a doubt, Duan Changtian's suggestion was approved by the direct descendants of the Duan Family. These people were used to living like princes. They were afraid of any changes and did not want to give up their lives so easily.
Bitter days could sharpen a person's willpower, but good days could wear down a person's willpower.
Duan Zhangye knew there was no other way. The rest of the Duan Family would not accept him as the family head. He had been successfully usurped. If it was any other family head, he would definitely resist and suppress them. However, Duan Zhangye no longer had any ambition. He could only choose to give up and leave the Duan Family. As for the life and death of the others and the prosperity of the family, he suddenly lost all interest.
There was nothing worse than betrayal. Duan Zhangye originally thought that with his contributions to the family, he would be able to gain the approval of his brothers and uncles. He did not expect that these people would not be grateful to him at all. Instead, they hated him. For such a family, Duan Zhangye felt that there was no need to worry about their life and death.
Duan Zhangye's decisive decision to give up surprised Duan Changxing, Duan Changtian, and the others. They had prepared a backup plan, but it seemed like it was useless now.
