Chapter 869
Chapter 869
"I truly cannot believe what you've said, because it's utterly absurd. Not a single word of it is believable, as you should know. The fate of our entire family rests on the shoulders of a mere servant? Do you even believe that? I certainly cannot. However, I'm willing to adopt him as my son; I'm willing to take that risk. But we must obtain the Yellow Spring Map from him. Otherwise, it will be a loss for the entire family. After all, the whole family has paid such a high price to find this item and the Nine Aperture Golden Elixir. Now that he has consumed the Nine Aperture Golden Elixir, that's his good fortune, and I won't try to take anything more. Your sister has already said she no longer needs it. But now, no matter the cost, we must obtain the Yellow Spring Map. Whether it's for you or your sister, it will be extremely useful. There's no need to place it on the shoulders of a servant, and to bind the fate of the entire family to this servant."
"This is absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Fang Yu was given a headache by the words of the Fang family patriarch. He did not expect his father to be so stupid, even more so than last time. He had almost agreed to everything the father said, but now things had changed, obviously because of his father's decision to start over.
Even so, Fang Yu was prepared to continue trying to persuade him. If he couldn't persuade him again, he would make his own decision and there would be no need to say anything more.
"The Yellow Springs Map is not something Father can bear. It is something we are not capable of handling. Only those with great fortune can bear it. I do possess great fortune, but I do not want to get involved in this trouble. It is an opportunity, yes, but it is also an enormous problem. If we cannot resolve it, we will die a violent death, and the entire family will not have a good life. That is the key point. Whether Father believes it or not, that is all I can say. That is the key point. I really can't say anything else. In short, this matter is not something our family can bear. We must find a suitable person, and Fang Han is the most suitable person. He himself possesses immense fortune."
"It's impossible to explain the extent of this fortune in a few words. In short, it's immense, beyond our imagination. In short, what we need to do now is treat it well and not show it any disrespect. Only in this way can our entire family rise to prominence in the future. This is my goal, this is my purpose, and I hope Father can understand. If Father really doesn't understand, then don't understand. Just do as instructed. Don't worry about the rest. Just do as instructed, and everything will be fine. But if you don't do as instructed, then there will be big problems. I hope Father can understand this."
“I understand everything you’ve said, but there are some things I really need you to explain. Who exactly is this Fang Han, and why does he possess such great fortune? It’s astonishing that you value him so much. There are very few people you would value so highly. I really want to find out his identity and his background.”
"I can't explain his identity and background in a few words. In short, his identity and background are very special. When the time comes, Father will naturally find out. If the time is not right, Father doesn't need to know, because it is a terrible thing. No matter what, I can't bring myself to say it. The moment I have this thought, it will vanish into thin air. This is an inevitable result. Even if I want to escape, I can't escape. In short, Father should do as I say now, instead of speculating about his identity."
Fang Yu was speechless as he looked at the Fang family patriarch before him. Despite his speechlessness, he still spoke slowly and deliberately.
“Sometimes I don’t want Father to know because it’s for Father’s own good. I don’t mean any harm and I hope Father can understand. If Father doesn’t understand, then there’s nothing I can do. Anyway, this is all I can say and do. Whether Father believes it or not, this is all I can say, do, and promise. Whether Father is willing to tell me or not.”
"In short, all Father needs to know about the current situation is that everything I have done is for the sake of the entire family, not for my own selfish interests. It is not purely for myself, but for the sake of the entire family. I hope Father can believe this. If you believe this, then please do not ask any more questions. If you do not believe this, then there is nothing I can do. I really have no other choice."
"You've said so much just to make me believe you, but while I can believe you, I cannot believe that a servant could possess such great fortune. This is something I simply cannot believe."
"If you say your sister has such great fortune, then I'll believe you. But you want me to believe a servant has such great fortune? That's unbelievable, and I hope you can understand."
"Of course I understand all of this, I completely understand, there is absolutely no problem with it. But understanding is one thing, but Father you must do as I say, you cannot disobey in any way. I hope you can understand that once you disobey, it will be a catastrophe for our entire family. No matter what you say or do, you must say and do as I say, there is no need to say anything more."
"By the way, there's no need to say much about my second sister. She's too proud, so we can't tell her about this. Otherwise, she'll definitely cause a lot of trouble, which would be a disaster for our entire family. I'm not joking; I'm stating a fact. I hope Father can understand. He absolutely cannot be told, otherwise, our entire family might face annihilation. I hope Father understands the seriousness of this, and I hope Father can keep his mouth shut and not say anything more. If he says anything more, our entire family will be in big trouble. I hope Father understands this and knows not to do anything wrong."
“If Father does something wrong, not only me, but even my eldest sister can’t save the whole family. At that time, the whole family will face annihilation. I’m afraid only my eldest sister and I will survive. No one else in the family will have a chance to live.”
"There's one thing I hope Father can understand: don't meddle in other people's business. What I say goes, so please don't ask any more questions. If you ask any more questions, I won't be able to explain it to you, because there are some things Father can't know, and some things are completely impossible for him to know."
“I hope my father knows these things, and I hope he understands them.”
"I know all that you've said, but sometimes I really don't understand if you're really my son."
Upon hearing this, Fang Yu was immediately stunned, and then a complicated expression appeared on his face, because he was indeed not the son of the Fang family patriarch in front of him.
"Whether it is or not is not important. What is important is that I am indeed your son now. You only need to remember this. As for the rest, you don't need to know anything or remember anything else. In short, knowing this is enough. There is no need to ask any more questions or care about anything else. There is absolutely no need."
"Everything I've done is for the sake of the entire family. Whether you believe it or not, that's what I'm saying. Whether you want to believe it or not, I've made myself perfectly clear. If you don't want to believe it, then pretend I never said anything. But there's one thing I hope you can understand: I didn't mean to deceive you, and I wouldn't. Deceiving you wouldn't do me any good, nor would it. I hope you can understand this, and I hope you can see it too. That's life. I can't help it. If I had even the slightest option, things wouldn't have come to this. To be honest, I really don't know what to do. If I had even the slightest option, I wouldn't be telling you all this." "Things are indeed that serious, truly that serious. That's the extent of the seriousness of the situation. Whether Father believes it or not, the seriousness of the situation has reached this point."
"Alright, I have said everything. Father, you just need to do as I say, and everything will be fine. If you can't do it, that's alright too. As long as you do your best, no matter how far you go, there won't be any problems. I can guarantee that. As long as nothing happens, that's a good thing. As long as there are no problems, that's a good thing."
"Isn't that how life is? No one can say much, and no one can say anything, right? Anyway, I can't say anything. I can tell my sister, but I can't tell my father, because if I can't tell my father, the consequences will be very serious. Really very serious. I'm not joking, I'm stating a fact, a pure fact."
"Oh dear, I don't want to do this either, but I have no choice. If I don't do this, the consequences will be very serious. I can only tell you some things, and I hope you can understand what I'm saying. Really, all of this is very important to me. I'm really suffering right now, really."
"I am planning and strategizing everything, hoping that everything will go smoothly and that no problems will arise. That is my thought. I also hope that Father can believe me. As long as Father believes me, then everything will be fine."
"I had no idea I had this function. Don't worry, since you've already said that, what can I say? I can't say anything. I can only choose to believe you because you are my child, and of course I choose to believe you. But you must be careful and never be careless. If you are careless, the consequences will be very serious."
"Father, rest assured, I understand. If I didn't understand, I wouldn't be here."
"There's something I need to make clear to my sister. If I don't, it won't be a good thing. I have to make it clear to her, I absolutely have to. There are some things I can hide from her now, but if I keep them from her later, it will be a devastating disaster for her. I don't want her to be in too much danger, because she's my sister. If she's in too much danger, it won't be a good thing for anyone, it really won't be a good thing at all. My sister is arguably the greatest hope for saving this world."
"So, nothing can happen to my sister. Nothing will happen to her. Therefore, what I need to do is protect her. If I don't protect her, the consequences will be very serious, not only for the sake of this world, but also for the sake of our sibling relationship. So, Father, there is still a lot you need to do. It's not just a little bit, it's a lot."
“If it weren’t for the fact that my father needed to do so many things, I would never have told him these things, really.”
"Because my father shouldn't have known so much, but because of my existence, he had to bear so much, and there was nothing we could do about it."
"To be honest, I regret telling my father so much, but I have no other choice."
"Alright, Father, go ahead and do what you need to do. I also need to do what I should do. As for the remaining tasks, I don't know if we can finish them. It would be best if we could, but if we can't, it just means we're unlucky. I hope everything goes smoothly."
What exactly do you want to do?
"I'm going to tell my older sister what happened earlier again. I believe she'll understand what I mean once I tell her."
"My older sister is a very smart person. As long as she hears what I say, she understands what I mean. Once she knows, she knows what to do, and I can finally relax completely. Really, I can relax completely."
"Then you must be extra careful and not be careless in any way. You should understand that."
"Then stop nagging. There's really no need to be so long-winded."
"I understand. I'll tell my elder sister what I need to say right away, and I hope she can make adequate preparations, as this will only benefit everyone." (End of Chapter)
