Chapter Forty-Eight: Born This Way
."By the way, you're surnamed Jiang too." Jiang Wuxie continued to raise the stakes: "Within a year, your name can be listed in the Jiang family genealogy."This sincerity is already heavy enough.Jiang...The Li clan's ancestral rites caused a great stir.
Not only did Jiang Wuyong suffer a great loss of face, but the fierce response from Lian Que also failed to bring any glory to the Lian family itself.
Visitors from all over left one after another, and whispers began to spread.
But these things are not something Jiang Wang needs to consider anymore.
At this time, in the most luxurious restaurant in Nanyang City, Jiang Wang was talking with Chong Xuan Sheng.
"To offend the Fourteenth Prince so badly, won't it really have an impact on you" Jiang Wang asked.
This time, he owed a great favor to Chong Xuan Sheng. Chong Xuan Sheng's gains and losses were the only thing he considered.
"Of course there will be some influence, but overall the benefits outweigh the drawbacks."
Zhong Xuan carefully analyzed for him: "The current Emperor has seventeen sons and nine daughters. The eldest son has already been deposed and is now imprisoned in the palace. The Crown Prince is the second son. Besides, there are three princesses and the ninth and eleventh princes who are extremely powerful and have the qualifications to vie for the throne."
“As for our family, the Chongxuan Clan, we would never involve ourselves in a succession dispute. It’s simply not worth it. No matter who ascends the throne, they wouldn't dare to mistreat our clan. Therefore, I have no need to give any of the other princes and princesses any face. Our family wouldn't say anything either. Spreading this message would only further prove that the Chongxuan Clan is loyal to His Majesty alone and has no desire to participate in the struggle for the throne.”
The fat man was overjoyed, his eyes squinting with laughter: “As for us, you’ve won a good sum of money from this gamble, and our reputation has soared even higher.”
"You know what defeating Jiang Wuyang means It means that in the Tongtian Realm, you are undoubtedly the strongest. Many people compare you to Wang Yi'Wu. And you are my disciple. Tell me, how strong should I be I brought out all my strength to suppress Jiang Wuyang today, just to tell those people that they should reconsider their allegiances!"

Zhong Xuansheng only mentioned the advantages and not the disadvantages, but Jiang Wang naturally knew.
He listened quietly, simply nodding and saying, “Just consider it carefully.”
After that, he picked up the long sword lying across his knees, stood up and walked out. "We'll leave later. Liánquè asked me to find him; he has something else to tell me."
This is just a simple example. Please provide me with the text you'd like translated, and I'll be happy to help!
"That horribly ugly blacksmith's apprentice"
Jiang Wang gave him a rather helpless glance, meaning, please don't say that about Lian Que. Besides, are you much stronger
"Go go." Chong Xuan waved his hand dismissively.
>
Before Jiang Wang reached the door, he hesitated and mumbled, "That is, please apologize to him for me."
Lian Que was driven to suicide to prove his innocence. While the Lian family bears the primary responsibility, He Xuan Sheng's cold and sarcastic remarks also played a significant role.
Deep down, he truly respected such valiant people.

Of course, the future head of the Chongxuan family (self-proclaimed) wouldn't apologize in person. What benefit would that bring him

As one of the most outstanding ten young people in the Lian family, Lian Que naturally had his own business in Nanyao City.
For example, this wine cellar.
Bottles of strong liquor were placed in the hall, each being poured into cups for guests. Only on the second floor were there a few private rooms used for entertaining visitors.
These industries, including winemaking, are primarily used for household consumption.
But that is not much, because Liǎn Què has never been interested in power or wealth.
To go to the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm is to become stronger, and to become stronger is to forge better weapons, that's all.

“He couldn't take the blow and committed suicide that day.” Lian Que said it very calmly.
The profession of a weaponsmith is indeed not easy. It is hard work, dangerous, and prone to envy. The divine weapons forged by them are often the tools that make those who wield them famous throughout the land, while the weaponsmiths themselves remain unknown.
It is common knowledge that Jiang Mengxiong was the master of the pair of knuckle-dusters known for their ability to defeat armies and kill generals. But how many people remember who forged this legendary pair
Craftsmen's workshops like the Li clan's are well-off, respected, and possess considerable skill. However, the vast majority of craftsmen are ordinary workshops with low status, toiling away tirelessly.
This is also one of the reasons why the Lianque family softened immediately. The Lianque, who cast the famous weapon Changxiangsi, could no longer be just an insignificant descendant of the Lianque family to them. Instead, he became one of the important factors for maintaining their position as the sacred land of the weaponsmiths.
Even if they didn't understand before, after this incident, they should have figured it out.
Jiang Wang was silent for a moment.
Because Sparrow is not someone who needs comforting.
The calloused hands of Lian Que, dotted with age spots, rested on the table as he spoke, “Actually, I had you stay behind for a reason. There’s something I want to discuss with you.”
"You may speak freely," Jiang Wang said.
This story starts with Lian Shao, do you remember Lian Shao

That fellow who sneered at Lian Que in front of the Jian Lu...
Ginger nodded.
"As I said, he's actually a pitiful man," Lian Que slowly stated. "The reason for that lies in the life jade you returned to me..."
From Lian Que's account, Jiang Wang learned about the sealed history of the Lian family.
When the Lian clan's homeland was destroyed, they fled and migrated with their entire family.

.Here is the translated version:
Because the Lian clan's blacksmithing skills were renowned at that time, they faced numerous ambushes and betrayals along their journey.
For the sake of preserving the family and ensuring that the family's swordsmithing secrets are not leaked, in order to avoid anyone defecting...
At that time, the head of the Lian clan decided to have talismans inscribed with their respective life energies forged for every member of the clan. These were entrusted to the most loyal elders who would guard them jealously. Any act of betrayal would be met with immediate and merciless execution.

These elders stayed aloof from worldly affairs, but they wielded absolute power over the lives of their clansmen.
This regulation ensured the continuation of the Lian clan's legacy. At that time, it unified the Lian clan's strength, allowing them to establish a firm foothold in the State of Qi. Building a prosperous Nan Yao City from scratch, they even rose to become one of the five sacred sites of the Casting Army School.
But after hundreds of years, the temporary expedient became a stale and foul family rule.
Every newborn of the Lian clan is subjected to the crafting of a life token upon birth. Before they even possess their own will, their life and death are already controlled by others.
The earliest patriarchs were all wholeheartedly devoted to their families, but with the changing times and shifting populations, there always emerged a few disreputable elders who could not be trusted. Because of these scoundrels, some became emboldened and corrupt.
Many people don't realize the problem lies not in a lack of understanding of these rules, but those in power who benefit from the status quo are simply unwilling to relinquish their control.
A hundred years ago, a brilliant and talented young man from the Lian clan emerged. Dissatisfied with his life being controlled by others, he secretly harbored rebellious intentions. Over many years, he worked diligently, forging connections and laying the groundwork for a grand scheme.
Eventually, this led to a hunt for the Lian family by various factions.
If it weren't for Emperor Qi's desire for a large-scale war at the time, and his urgent need for the Lian family to help forge weapons and mobilize troops to maintain order. That disaster had already resulted in the annihilation of the Lian clan.
Despite this, the Lian clan after the disaster suffered a dramatic decline in power and wealth, with their assets reduced to almost nothing.
The Lian clan rebuilt after the disaster.
Even after such an incident, the elderly members of the Lian clan were still unwilling to relinquish their power over life and death.
They've grown accustomed to being high above, they've always walked that way, victims of the rules, slowly becoming part of the rules themselves.
From then on, every generation of the Lian family would select ten of the most outstanding young men from their clan. The family acknowledged that these individuals possessed the ability to control their own destinies and returned their fate cards.
The magpie is one of them.
To control floods, it is better to divert the water than to block it. These ten people may seem like an honor, but in essence, they are just a vent for pressure.
Why did Lian Zhiping and Lian Luyue feel that the personal honor of a family member was insignificant, not even worth considering Because in their minds, there was no possibility of a family member going against them.
They never imagined that the sparrows would turn against them.
This antiquated and rotten rule, which has become downright foul, has persisted in the Liang family for far too long. It has lasted so long that it seems innate, ingrained to the point where few even find it amiss.
And Lian Shao was one of those members of the Lian clan who could not control their own fate.
Most people are those who cannot control their own life and death.

He had also tried his best for those ten spots of freedom. But everyone was fighting so hard, he fell short and thus lived in two different worlds from those ten people ever since.
Because he was born unable to control his own destiny, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't obtain it. Therefore, he was especially furious about Lian Que handing over his life card to Jiang Wang in the Tianfu Secret Realm.

For him, if he could get his own life card, he wouldn't give it up even in death.
How could he possibly harbor resentment like a lowly sparrow
He was furious that he was not free, and even more furious that the lark did not cherish that freedom!
After slowly saying all that, a whole pot of wine had been finished.
The sparrow tilted the wine flask, shaking it vigorously. Only two drops of liquid fell out.
He set down his wine flask and finally sighed: "Born into the Lian clan, a life lived under the control of others."red to those hereditary titles, he stands out among the younger generation as the most prestigious. It's customary in Qí State for there to be no duke. His current rank has few more levels to ascend....
