As the Master of an aristocratic family, this does not mean that he can control everything in the family. Actually, the reason why there are so many elders is to restrict the Master's power.
Furthermore, there are also the Grand Elders above the Master. These are all to prevent the Master from monopolizing power.
Hence, even though the Master has a lot of power, he also has a lot of helplessness.
Especially for an aristocratic family like the Dongfang Family which can only be ranked at the bottom of the Nine Great Families, their resources are more scarce.
Even if they have better resources, they will hand them over to those who are more talented.
However, when it comes to distributing resources, as the Master, he must ensure that the main branch has the upper hand.
If the main branch is weaker than the side branches or outsiders, then he can no longer be the Master.
If it was only about not being the Master, perhaps it would not matter. However, if the power of the aristocratic family is controlled by the side branches or outsiders, then the existence of the aristocratic family is just an empty title.
No Master of any aristocratic family would wish to become a sinner of the family.
Hence, their way of thinking towards their children is relatively simple. Generally speaking, the position of Master is passed on to the eldest legitimate son.
Coupled with the fact that the eldest legitimate son is more talented, the resources he receives are basically the best. Most of the resources are even given to the eldest legitimate son.
Because of this, Dongfang Hong naturally does not care as much about his other children.
However, no matter what, his own children are still his own flesh and blood. It's not a big deal if he does not inherit the position of Master but sending them to their deaths is something that no father would want to see.
However, he has personally sent his own son into the Dead Zone.
What kind of place is the Dead Zone? It's a place where nine out of ten people survive.
Honestly speaking, even though the Dongfang Family has a rather good relationship with the Chen Family, entering the Dead Zone makes everything very uncertain.
Hence, he is not at ease even when it comes to Chen Hongyuan.
Who knows if one of them discovers some great treasure or if the other will have other thoughts?
Chen Hongyuan's power has been revealed during the Grand Competition of the Nine Families. At least, his son does not have the power to defeat Chen Hongyuan.
Furthermore, he is the only member of the Dongfang Family who has entered the Dead Zone. He cannot be at ease no matter how he thinks about it.
"Who wouldn't be? But what's the use of regretting it now? Since it has already happened, I can only hope that the two of them can have a good life! "Chen Tianxing was also very helpless about the matters between aristocratic families.
He had always felt guilty towards his youngest son.
There were some things that he didn't say, but it didn't mean that he didn't know. When Chen Hongyuan went to the Dark Nether Realm to train, he didn't come back. To be honest, he had some doubts about his eldest son.
However, no matter what he said at that time, it had already happened, and he didn't have any evidence.
Moreover, if he really investigated this matter or exposed this matter, then there might be a change of power in their Chen Family.
Although his youngest son was amazingly talented, he had already died in the Dark Nether Realm. If his eldest son's affair was exposed, would he still have the resources to be the next head of the Chen Family?
Obviously, it was also impossible.
Therefore, when such a thing happened back then, his heart was in great pain. However, for the sake of the Chen Family's overall situation, he couldn't act out.
Fortunately, the heavens didn't want people to die. He didn't expect that after so many years, his youngest son would come back alive.
To be honest, when he saw his youngest son appear alive and well in front of him, he felt that there was nothing better in this world than this.
At least he still felt that the heavens still cared for him.
However, Chen Hongyuan's return also caused new changes in his eldest son. The two people once again began to fight among themselves.
For such a situation, he had warned his eldest son more than once. And in recent years, Chen Hongxing seemed to have been a lot more obedient.
Perhaps it was because of Chen Hongyuan's departure these years, he had already laid the foundation for his future in the Chen Family. He might already have the confidence to inherit the Chen Family.
Therefore, he didn't make a move against his younger brother again. As for this, in his opinion, it was also a good thing.
However, after returning, Chen Hongyuan had also changed. He remembered that Chen Hongyuan was very sensible in the past and didn't have much interest in the position of the head of the Chen Family.
However, after that incident, he could sense Chen Hongyuan's desire for the position of the Chen Family's Patriarch on many occasions.
But in the current Chen Family, almost everyone knew that his eldest son, Chen Hongxing, was going to inherit the position of the Family Head.
He didn't dare to give Chen Hongyuan too many ideas, so many times, he had already used a very obvious method to remind Chen Hongyuan that he didn't intend to change the successor of the Family Head.
However, from the looks of it, Chen Hongyuan obviously didn't take his reminder seriously.
Every time he thought of these things, he was also quite helpless.
Every aristocratic family would have some of these annoying things. He believed that such things didn't only happen in the Chen Family, the other eight great families would more or less have such problems.
As long as there was power, there would be strife. This would never change.
He also didn't know what was waiting for him in the future of the Chen Family.
However, because of Cheng Yu's appearance, he was really shaken now.
The formation that Cheng Yu had set up for Chen Hongyuan had already begun to take effect. However, the cost of this formation was too high. Every time it was used, it would consume a lot of spirit crystals.
If it was used for a long time, the consumption would really be somewhat unbearable.
However, in order to make the Chen Family stronger, these losses had to be incurred.
And most importantly, the current problem was that such a formation was far from being able to satisfy such a big family.
If there were a few more, it would be perfect. He believed that in 500 years, to the Chen Family, there would definitely be an earth-shaking change.
Even without the Death Zone, he believed that the Chen Family would still be able to make a comeback after 500 years. He just didn't know if they could afford to use up 500 years.
After all, the more formations there were, the more the consumption would be. This was also a very troublesome matter.
Furthermore, he had already hinted to Cheng Yu a few times, hoping that he would be able to set up more formations for the Chen Family.
However, Cheng Yu didn't agree, causing him to feel very regretful.
However, his youngest son seemed to have a very unusual relationship with Cheng Yu. This caused a thought to arise in his heart.
If Chen Hongyuan was able to obtain Cheng Yu's support, then the Chen Family Head position might be handed over to Chen Hongyuan. As long as he was able to set up more formations for the Chen Family, the significance of the Chen Family's rise was unquestionable.
