Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor
Chapter 236 Anger and Resentment? Taking the Initiative to Make Way!
The golden unicorn clenched his fists. When the ancestor appeared, he was the first to kneel down and shout, "Welcome, ancestor!"
But in the eyes of the ancestor, there was only one person from beginning to end—Chu Nan.
Even when he went to see the patriarch, the questions he was asked were all about Chu Nan.
At that time, Jin Qilin was wondering if the ancestor was asking so many questions to ascertain Chu Nan's strength.
Now it seems that's not the case at all.
From beginning to end, the only person the ancestor cared about was Chu Nan!
Jin Qilin suddenly found it ridiculous. He had knelt outside the cave for three days and three nights, thinking that he had secured a way out for the Jin family.
But reality slapped him hard in the face.
What Jin family? In the patriarch's eyes, there was no such concept as the Jin family at all!
Jin Jiucheng sat in the armchair, without moving.
But there was no dejection in those cloudy old eyes as expected.
"Qilin".
Jin Qilin quickly walked up to Jin Jiucheng and squatted down. "Grandpa."
"What did the patriarch say to you when you went to see him?"
"The ancestor asked many questions about Chu Nan."
Jin Qilin smiled wryly and said, "I told him everything I knew—his age, his cultivation level, whether he had a master, and where he came from. After listening, the ancestor came out of seclusion."
Jin Jiucheng closed his eyes, and after a long time, he opened them and prepared to get up.
Kim Soo-yeop and Kim Soo-jung rushed forward to help him, but he waved them away, saying, "Kim Chung."
Jin Zhong quickly stepped forward and respectfully said, "Master."
Jin Jiucheng pointed in the direction where Chu Nan was, "Help me there."
Jin Zhong was stunned, thinking he had misheard, and glanced at Jin Jiucheng again.
The old man was expressionless, his eyes frighteningly calm.
Jin Zhong didn't dare to ask any more questions and helped Jin Jiucheng walk towards Chu Nan.
Jin Shouye and Jin Shouzheng exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion on each other's faces.
Jin Qilin was also stunned. What was Grandpa doing going to Chu Nan's place?
Jin Jiucheng walked up to Chu Nan, released Jin Zhong's hand, and bowed respectfully.
He was bent over deeply, his white hair hanging down and covering half his face. "Mr. Chu."
Chu Nan was talking to Jiang Yingxue when he heard the voice and turned around.
He saw Kim Koo-sung standing in front of him, bent over, and paused for a moment. "What's up?"
"I dare to say a few words to Mr. Chu."
Jin Jiucheng straightened up, his tone neither humble nor arrogant, but his posture extremely low, "Today's events are the result of the Jin family bringing shame upon themselves, and we have no reason to blame Mr. Chu."
"Mr. Chu is very generous. He spared the lives of my entire Jin family. We will always remember this kindness."
Chu Nan remained silent, unsure of what the old fox was up to.
Jin Jiucheng continued, "After we return, I will have someone take stock of the Jin family's assets. Thirty percent of the profits from each quarter will be sent to Mr. Chu. This is not an apology, but a token of our Jin family's goodwill."
Everyone present was stunned by these words.
The eyes of the Jin family's direct descendants who followed them widened in surprise.
30% profit?
The Jin family owns three major sectors: mining, heavy industry, and security. There are four listed companies, and 30% of their profits each quarter is an astronomical figure.
Jin Qilin, who had followed along out of concern, stood there as if struck by lightning.
He subconsciously took a step forward, as if to say something, but Jin Shouzheng grabbed his sleeve.
Chu Nan frowned slightly. "Old Master Jin, what do you mean by this?"
Jin Jiucheng remained calm. "Mr. Chu is the patriarch's brother. The seniority is clear. From now on, everyone in the Jin family should call Mr. Chu 'Little Ancestor'."
Upon hearing this, the close associates who had come with him were completely in an uproar.
Jin Shouye could no longer hold back and took a step forward. "Dad! What are you saying! The fact that Ancestor and Chu Nan are sworn brothers is Ancestor's business. What does it have to do with us? You call him Little Ancestor, isn't that—"
"Shut up!"
Jin Jiucheng didn't turn around, but his tone was chillingly cold.
Shouye felt as if he had been choked, and he swallowed the rest of his words.
Jin Jiucheng continued, "In the future, if Mr. Chu has any requests, the entire Jin family will provide full assistance, whether in terms of manpower, resources, finances, intelligence, channels, or connections, as long as Mr. Chu asks."
"Several experts and the commander can all bear witness to this matter."
Chu Nan's initial disruption of the Jin family's birthday banquet and Jin Chenglie's provocation were actually secondary issues.
The main reason was that he wanted to test his strength after breaking through to the Grandmaster level, and he wanted to take advantage of Jin Jiucheng's 90th birthday to make a name for himself.
Although the Jin family's subsequent actions were somewhat inappropriate, it was actually Chu Nan who started this trend.
He never intended to destroy the Jin family, after all, they were one of the four great families.
Once it's destroyed, it won't bring fame, it will only backfire.
After all, the capital city is right under the emperor's nose.
To destroy the Jin family would be to disregard imperial authority.
Now that Jin Wuyuan has helped him solve his cultivation problems, he naturally wouldn't do anything to the Jin family.
Jin Jiucheng's unusual behavior made Chu Nan feel uneasy.
However, before he could say anything, Jin Jiucheng bowed and said, "Then it's settled!"
"Commander, now that the matter is resolved, may the Jin family leave?"
Fang Yuan nodded. Now that Chu Nan was alright, there was no point in keeping the Jin family in check.
Jin Jiucheng turned and walked towards the Jin family's convoy, and Jin Zhong quickly stepped forward to help him.
Jin Qilin, who was following behind, finally couldn't hold back any longer. "Grandpa, I don't understand. It's one thing for the Ancestor to ignore the Jin family, but why are you still so eager to curry favor with Chu Nan?"
"Not only do you give him 30% of the profits, but you also call him 'Little Ancestor.' Aren't you deliberately trampling on the Jin family's reputation?"
Jin Jiucheng stopped and looked at Jin Qilin. "Do you think the Jin family lost face today?"
"Didn't it get lost? The Grand Elder was defeated, and the ancestor they invited not only failed to save the day, but also—"
"Then let me ask you."
Jin Jiucheng interrupted him, "Before today, how many people in the capital knew that the Jin family had a Celestial Ancestor? And how many people thought that our Celestial Ancestor was still alive?"
Jin Qilin frowned slightly, not understanding the meaning of those words.
"From today onwards, the entire capital will know that the Jin family has a Celestial Ancestor."
"In front of the old geomancer Lu Xuanji, the head of the Zhenwu Sect, Master Xuyuan, the abbot of the Great Zen Temple, Zen Master Zhikong, and the commander of the Imperial Guard Fang Yuan, he quietly took Chu Nan away."
"These four individuals represent the martial arts world, the Buddhist world, and the royal family, respectively. The patriarch led his people away, and they couldn't even stop him. What does that mean?"
Before Jin Qilin could ponder further, Jin Jiucheng continued, "This shows that our ancestor is still that invincible Celestial Realm expert. As long as he's alive, the Jin family will never fall!"
"We're having the Grand Elder kill Chu Nan? Is it really to kill Chu Nan? No! We're here to save face for the Jin family!"
"And what's the result now? It's far more effective than the Grand Elder defeating Chu Nan in the competition. With the Ancestor appearing, who would dare to covet the Jin family's position now?"
