Chapter 838 Do I look like someone who doesn't keep their word?
"Elder Jiang Tianheng of the Jiang family is preparing to personally lead a very large delegation to visit our star system."
"Besides Jiang Tianheng, there are also one hundred of the Jiang family's most elite direct-line female warriors."
At this point, Jiang Lingyun's voice trembled slightly, and a deeply hidden fear and trembling from extreme jealousy flashed deep in her eyes.
"They...they said they were acting on the orders of Ancestor Jiang Longsheng...bringing generous gifts to...to share the bond of neighborly relations with the master."
Lin Qiye's lips curled up slightly after hearing this.
"Oh? The Jiang family... actually sent their Grand Elder to lead the team personally?"
"Is it still the ancestor's decree?"
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes gleaming.
"It seems the Jiang family... has finally decided to take action."
"Jiang Lingyun".
"Master...Master!"
Jiang Lingyun's delicate body trembled violently. Her eyes, which were originally cold and clear, were now veiled with a layer of mist, and she trembled with extreme unease.
"The spirit resides..."
Lin Qiye reached out and gently lifted her pointed chin, which was slightly rosy due to her pregnancy:
"That old fox Jiang Tianheng... besides sending a hundred of his direct female warriors, what else did he say to you?"
"He...he also said..."
Jiang Lingyun bit her red lips tightly, daring not to conceal anything under the oppressive divine power that dominated her soul:
"He said that these one hundred women from the Jiang family were all personally selected by him, and were absolutely the most outstanding women in both the main and branch families..."
As she spoke, Jiang Lingyun's voice grew even lower, her tone revealing a bitterness and resentment that she herself was unaware of:
"They are doing this willingly... The main branch even personally decreed that they be allowed to serve you, Master!!"
"Furthermore, the Jiang family... hopes that you, Master, will show them mercy."
"Let that group of Jiang family martial gods who were sent to the mining planet... that is, the Second Elder Jiang Yunhe and his group..."
"Could we make an exception and let them... return to the main planet?"
"Jiang Tianheng said that as long as the adults are willing to release the people, the Jiang family... is willing to add another batch of top-level resources as compensation."
"Oh."
Lin Qiye let out a low, cold laugh.
"The Jiang family... they've certainly played their cards right."
Lin Qiye turned around and stood with his hands behind his back in the void:
"You want to trade a hundred women for a group of excellent laborers?"
"So you're going to plant these hundred women around me as spies?"
"However, business is all about negotiation..."
Lin Qiye had no choice but to admit it.
Although such calculations by established founding families are shameless, they represent the most direct and effective exchange of benefits within the survival rules of Taurus.
Go tell Jiang Tianheng.
Lin Qiye's voice became calm yet domineering:
"Since he is personally leading the team, I, Lin Qiye... may be able to meet him."
"As for those one hundred people..."
A cruel yet amused smile curled at the corner of Lin Qiye's lips:
"Since they came willingly, let them all stay."
"As for releasing them..."
Lin Qiye turned his head slightly to look at Jiang Lingyun's heavily pregnant body:
"Do you think I, Lin Qiye... am the kind of person who doesn't keep his word?"
"We said we'd have them dig for ten years, and that means not a second less!"
"Go, tell him to come to me in the C10755 system."
"Yes!! Master!! Lingyun... I'll go report back right away!!"
Jiang Lingyun felt as if she had been granted a pardon. She quickly bowed deeply again and staggered back as her swollen belly swayed.
……
Jiang Family Galaxy No. 1.
Inside the Jiang family's main council hall, decorated in a simple yet luxurious style, the air was filled with the subtle fragrance of sandalwood.
Jiang Tianheng, the eldest elder of the Jiang family, was sitting upright on the dragon-headed chair in the main seat, his eyes slightly closed and his fingers lightly tapping on his knees. He was planning in his mind how to engage in an equal contest with the young man as an elder of the Jiang family once he arrived at Lin Qiye's territory.
however.
When he saw the beautiful face of Prince Jiang Yao appear on the screen at the terminal.
"Elder... Jiang Lingyun... has already given the master's instructions."
Jiang Yao bit her red lips:
"The master said... since you are personally leading the team... then... then he can meet with you."
"As for those one hundred Valkyries... Master said that since they are willing... then they should all stay..."
At this point, Jiang Yao's tone revealed a sense of despair:
"But...but regarding the return of Second Elder Jiang Yunhe and the others...Master has clearly stated..."
"We said we'd dig for a full ten years, and that means not a second less!!"
"Smack!!!"
A sharp, piercing crack, almost born of extreme rage.
The cup of top-grade spiritual tea made from precious jade in Jiang Tianheng's hand was instantly crushed into dust by his terrifying power of rules.
His old face, overwhelmed with extreme shame and indignation, turned from purplish-red to deathly pale.
"A madman!! This is absolutely outrageous!!!"
Jiang Tianheng suddenly sprang up from the dragon-headed chair. His tall body, which looked somewhat dejected from years of managing affairs, was now, driven by extreme anger, unleashing a terrifying pressure that made the entire council hall tremble.
"My Jiang family... is the founding family!!"
Jiang Tianheng let out a low, frantic roar, like a trapped beast:
"I personally led the team... with a hundred Valkyries, to deliver the gifts to your doorstep... and Lin Qiye actually... actually wouldn't even give me this much face?!"
"We can't release him?! How dare he... continue to enslave my Jiang family elders in full view of everyone in Taurus?!"
"Elder! Please calm down!!"
The group of Jiang family executives who had been whispering amongst themselves suddenly knelt down under Jiang Tianheng's oppressive aura.
"We cannot disobey Ancestor Jiang Longsheng's orders!!"
"Moreover... Lin Qiye is currently riding high..."
"Elder!! We...we need to think this through!!!"
……
"Think it over?"
Jiang Tianheng gripped the list tightly, his once clear old eyes now bloodshot from extreme frustration.
Of course he knew he had to be patient.
If he couldn't bear it, he, as the Grand Elder, might not even have a chance to escape unscathed!
"Good...very good."
"Since Lin Qiye wants to play this game... then I, Jiang Tianheng, will play along to the very end!!"
"Pass on my order."
Jiang Tianheng turned his head and looked at the group of high-ranking officials kneeling below:
"Let's go!! We're preparing to head to the C10755 star system!!"
"I refuse to believe that Lin Qiye really doesn't give the Jiang family any face at all!!!"
