Chapter 554: The Rong Family Division! Su Ping's Gift!

Chapter 554: The Rong Family Division! Su Ping's Gift!

"Head of the Family! Why should your branch take up two spots for the Five Sage Mystic Realm entry privileges?"

"Yeah, and also, why does the family's seed field in the south get a thirty percent stake for the seventh uncle's lineage?"

"Hmph! I still think it's unfair! As for the Rong Family Corporation, it's all under the management of Han'er, why should we give your family a twenty percent stake?"

"..."

The commotion,

Every member of the family, every family elder, many of those of the same generation as Rong Bao, and those who grew up together, at this moment, forgot what it meant to be a century-old aristocratic family. Each of them shouted with flushed faces and bulging necks.

Where was the family now?

Where was the bond thicker than water, the shared spirit?

At this moment, everyone was at odds with each other, and it was already considered quite good.

The commotion had not ceased since Rong Bao proposed the family division.

It had been going on for many days.

Even within the family, with the unimaginable high status of the Snake Ancestor, it was of no use.

For example, the giant green python slowly descended from the roof beam, looking helplessly at the situation below, and at Rong Bao, who was sitting in the head of the family's seat, lost in thought. Finally, he spoke with displeasure:

"Little Bao, what are you daydreaming about? It's not resolved yet?"

Only then did Rong Bao snap out of it and look at the Snake Ancestor, whose eyes clearly showed dissatisfaction.

"Snake Ancestor, Ping'er will be here soon."

"Hmm? Is that kid coming back from the Tomb of Heaven?"

"Yes!" Rong Bao nodded, as the news of entering the Tomb of Heaven was no longer a secret.

The Snake Ancestor hissed, and only then did he seem satisfied:

"Hiss, so to speak, the Tomb of Heaven doesn't seem as dangerous as that kid Su Anyong described it to be!"

After speaking, he glanced at Rong Bao in front of him:

"That's not right, Little Bao, why are you making that face when Su Ping is coming over? Hurry up and think about how to talk to this stinky kid.

This Rong Family division is really troublesome.

If it doesn't work out, you can talk to him about it, or just forget it. The family has been going on for so many years, how can it be divided just like that?"

The Rong Family's interests, bound tightly by the inherited family rules, made it impossible to divide in just a few days. Such a decision, from the determination to the complete implementation, would take years to fully sort out.

Not to mention, the complete family division.

This was simply impossible.

Without actually implementing it, outsiders could not understand the difficulties involved.

But over these days, the Snake Ancestor had witnessed Rong Bao looking several years older, obviously the family division had consumed a lot of unimaginable mental effort.

Therefore, even the Snake Ancestor had already given up.

However, this time, Rong Bao's determination surprised the Snake Ancestor. He shook his head firmly:

"No need! No matter what, I must let Su Ping see that our Rong Family, or rather, I as his maternal grandfather, have done our best!"

Upon hearing this, the Snake Ancestor was slightly taken aback. What was the reasoning behind this?

Before he could ask, Rong Bao spoke:

"In a while, Su Ping and the Saint Dragon Lord will come together, and they may stay at the Rong Family for a few days."

Plop...

As his words fell, the Snake Ancestor, with his Holy Spirit-level strength, failed to control himself and fell from the roof beam of the Rong Family's main hall, landing on the ground with a loud thud.

...

Everyone in the Rong Family frowned.

They didn't understand why they had to welcome Su Ping again.

After all, they had heard about Su Ping helping the Dong Family's Mirror Ancestor to take charge of the Celestial Observatory, and if the Rong Family could also gain favor, all members of the Rong Family would benefit.

But now, the Rong Family was about to divide, who would remember who Su Ping was in the future?

After all, Su Ping's mother, Rong Chun, was also from the same lineage as Rong Bao, the head of the family.

They were not related.

Moreover, they heard that Su Ping had made the decision for the Rong Family.

So, almost no one was willing to greet this person again.

Until those two figures approached.

Countless people rubbed their eyes, even suspecting that they had seen wrong.

Even the Snake Ancestor couldn't help but tremble and lie down on the ground.

Rong Bao, like an ancient person, immediately knelt on one knee.

He was pulled back by Su Ping, who walked up to him:

"Grandpa, do you want to shorten my lifespan?"

For the first time, Rong Bao frowned and looked at Su Ping:

"Su Ping, don't be rude! Rong Bao of the Rong Family, pays respects to the Saint Dragon."

The man with a warm smile laughed:

"What era is this, no need for such formalities. Besides, with Su Ping's talent, your Rong Family bloodline is enough to make you face anyone without needing to perform such a grand gesture."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Rong Family blushed with pride.

The man deservedly took the lead and walked into the Rong Family mansion with Su Ping.

Then, he sat in the seat that Rong Bao had just vacated, not giving way to Su Ping, who wanted to stand behind him. Instead, he was pulled over and thrown onto a nearby seat.

Rong Bao followed and bowed again:

"Saint Dragon, rest assured, everything you need during these three days at the Rong Family..."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by the Saint Dragon Legend:

"Enough of this nonsense, I heard from Su Ping that your Rong Family is preparing for a family division?"

Upon hearing this, the family elders in the hall and the various Rong Family members standing outside fell silent.

Rong Bao now understood why this person had suddenly decided to visit.

"Yes, but the timeline is tight, and we haven't made a final decision yet," he replied hastily.

The Saint Dragon Legend nodded, "With such a tight schedule and heavy tasks, since you haven't decided on the distribution, let Su Ping help you all."

Su Ping inwardly sighed, but he stepped forward, facing the gazes of everyone present. "I understand your difficulties. Naturally, no one wants to lose out when faced with profit. However, expecting to gain without any losses is simply impossible."

"Before I arrived, I was already aware of the current distribution of the Rong Family's assets. But I can promise and decide here that my maternal grandfather's lineage will not take a single cent of the Rong Family's fixed assets."

Upon hearing this, all the elders of the Rong Family, along with the younger members outside, exchanged glances. The younger ones couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

Unexpectedly, Rong Bao's uncle, Rong Xia, who was standing behind him, paled. He glanced at Rong Bao but was met with an extremely stern gaze that silenced him. He turned away, embarrassed.

As expected, everyone's expressions improved significantly after these words.

Su Ping continued, "Additionally, the Rong Family's most valuable assets, the Five Sage Mystic Realm and the Five Sage Eggs, are extraordinary and time-limited. Therefore, after the family division, each branch will receive a Five Toxins Token, allowing their descendants to enter the Five Sage Mystic Realm when it opens to compete for the Five Sage Eggs. Of course, this includes my maternal grandfather's lineage. If you feel that the next generation of your branch is still no match for my lineage when the Five Sage Mystic Realm opens again, you can speak up."

Everyone exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

The competition for the Five Sage Eggs in the Five Sage Mystic Realm might not happen for decades.

Indeed, there was no need to worry about it.

"As for the fixed assets, the main ones include the Rong Family Corporation, the Four Seasons Beast Seed Farm south of Beihan City, over 70 billion worth of real estate in Beihan City and across Northern Province, primarily the Four Seasons Group Tower."

Su Ping began to divide the Rong Family Corporation and its various businesses, leaving only some unavoidable shares.

The rest could be divided naturally, leading to a fair split.

He had ensured absolute fairness.

Yet, someone still objected.

An elderly man with a stern face spoke up slowly, "Su Ping, this isn't right. How can Rongguang Hospital's scale be compared to Poison Unmatched? My lineage, Rong Xia, holds fifty percent of Rongguang Hospital's shares. How can that be compared to Rong Yuan's thirty percent in Poison Unmatched?"

"Yes!"

The members of his lineage chimed in.

Su Ping calmly explained, "Elder Rong Xia, your lineage currently has only six direct descendants in the Rong Family. Moreover, the potential of Rong Xing and Rong Heng, as well as their contributions to the Rong Family, far surpass yours."

"But..."

Rong Xia was about to speak, but he quickly glanced at the man with closed eyes, seemingly stroking a cat. He swallowed his words and changed his tone, "How can this be fair? It's not like we don't want to have more children. With this distribution, are you saying that those with more children will get a larger share?"

He waved his hand, clearly indicating that the smaller branches of the Rong Family were dissatisfied.

As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, voices of agreement came from inside and outside the room.

"Yes, Su Ping, if that's the case, should I go and try harder with my wife now?"

Su Ping let out a long sigh. At that moment, the man with closed eyes finally spoke, his voice calm.

"Are all of you from the Rong Family so ungrateful?"

His words instantly silenced the room.

He glanced at them calmly, "If it weren't for Su Anyong's plea to Leng Ao twenty years ago, and Leng Ao's intervention with Old Wolf, your Rong Family would have faced consequences long ago. It seems many of you haven't grasped the reality of the situation."

His voice carried an undeniable air of authority.

However, it was clear that this Saint Dragon Lord didn't rely solely on authority and words.

A terrifying mental force suddenly surged, sending a ripple that nearly caused the Snake Ancestor, already at the Holy Spirit level, to shed his skin.

Everyone's attention turned to Rong Xia, who had spoken up first.

His face paled, but he didn't know what was happening.

The man stroked the cat in his arms and said, "For Su Ping's sake, I'm not in the mood for bloodshed. I'll spare you, Rong Xia. Your lineage's spiritual realm and beast companion will be sealed, and you'll no longer be worthy of the Rong name. Get out."

Silence.

His absolute dominance and power silenced any dissent.

This was the Saint Dragon Legend, the Saint Dragon Lord himself!

Yet, no one dared to speak up, as they finally understood that the peace they had enjoyed was built upon his foundation.

The weight of his words finally sank in.

After Rong Xia and his lineage were escorted out of the Rong Family mansion, Su Ping smiled, "Since someone doesn't want to divide the assets, it's perfect. Let's further divide Rong Xia's assets, including his fifty percent shares in Rongguang Hospital."

"With that, the room fell into complete silence, not a word uttered.

Even if the others were to express dissatisfaction, after being disowned, their share of the family fortune would be divided among those present.

Finally, regardless of satisfaction or dissatisfaction, this family division that had dragged on for half a month in the Rong family came to a simple and easy conclusion.

Except for Rong Bao.

However, whether it was Rong Bao, the great-uncle, or Rong Xia and Rong Qiu, the aunt and uncle, or even Rong Zhe and Rong Chan, the cousins standing behind Rong Xia, none of them left.

Because they knew that, for them, the real show was about to begin.

Su Ping glanced at these people, who were his true family, and smiled. With a wave of his hand, his spiritual power surged, and the main hall's doors closed once more.

This move startled those present:

'Imperial Rank? Su Ping, have you advanced to the Imperial Rank?'

At that moment, they realized why the Holy Dragon Lord was willing to grant Su Ping this favor.

It wasn't just his exceptional nurturing skills.

Su Ping paid no heed to their astonishment. Instead, he waved at his shy cousin Rong Chan, and the little girl fearlessly came into his embrace.

He pinched her chubby cheeks:

'Chan'er, what do you want? Your family's belongings have just been given away, and it might even include your future dowry.'

Rong Chan pouted:

'Can my cousin make that decision?'

Born into a noble family, she was young but already understood the situation.

The man opened his eyes and smiled at the little girl:

'What's on your mind, little one?'

This statement made everyone's eyelids twitch.

However, the little girl didn't grasp the full meaning. Instead, she jumped forward and stood before the man, pointing at the white cat in his arms, 'I want that one.'

The white cat opened its sleepy eyes and looked at the human girl pointing at it with a dazed expression.

Su Ping couldn't help but laugh, but he quickly added, 'Chan'er, don't be naughty. That's Lord White, a legendary White Tiger, not a pet.'

Rong Chan blinked, young but already understanding the significance of a legend.

The Holy Dragon Lord chuckled:

'I know you already have a companion beast, and I can't give you this one. But since the little girl rarely asks for anything, how about this? When you awaken and gain the qualification for a contract companion beast, you can go to Dragon City in the Imperial Capital and contract a Dragon Companion. I can make that happen.'

Upon hearing this, Rong Xia's eyes nearly popped out.

The slightly older Rong Zhe, who had already become sensible, was also stunned.

He looked at the man with anticipation, hoping to receive his favor like his sister. Unfortunately, after making this promise, the man closed his eyes and fell silent, smiling.

Su Ping cleared his throat and turned to Rong Bao:

'Great-Uncle, I've made a decision on your behalf. I hope you won't blame me.'

Rong Bao laughed:

'What are you talking about, you rascal? When has there been a reason for a great-uncle to blame his great-nephew?'

The old man's words were cleverly chosen.

Su Ping didn't bother with pleasantries. Instead, he took out a special scroll and handed it to Rong Bao.

'This is...'

Rong Bao took the scroll, looking at Su Ping with surprise.

Su Ping paused and said:

'This is the soul meditation technique inherited from the Poison Master, Situ Feng, called the Five Toxins Soul Refining Meditation. It's a soul meditation technique primarily for poison-type companion beasts, and it's highly effective. I haven't studied it much, but I believe it will hold even greater value for you and your family.'

As expected, upon hearing this, Rong Bao's pupils constricted with excitement as he gazed at the scroll.

Soul meditation techniques were indeed the ultimate barrier for high-level beastmasters.

A rare treasure, even for Imperial Rank beastmasters.

Unfortunately, Su Ping hadn't found a suitable soul meditation technique for himself, even though his soul meditation speed didn't require such a technique.

However, this scroll held immense significance for the Rong family.

But Su Ping's reason for asking Rong Bao's family to give up the Rong family fortune was not just this scroll. He was about to drop a real bombshell:

'Additionally, my suggestion is for you and your family to leave Northern Original and move to Yunnan-Tibet!'

Huh?

Upon hearing this, the Rong family, including Rong Bao and his daughters, were taken aback, unsure how to react. They looked at Su Ping in surprise.

Move?

Like their ancestors a thousand years ago, they would return to Yunnan-Tibet?

At this moment, the Holy Dragon Lord opened his eyes, clearly understanding Su Ping's intention and plan.

Su Ping continued:

'Recently, on the border between our Dragon Kingdom and the Hundred Thousand Mountains, a brand-new fusion mystic realm emerged. Now, it has become our Dragon Kingdom's territory!

This land was extremely rich in spirit energy in the previous small world, and it is highly suitable for plant-type and insect-type companion beasts.

Moreover, the external range is vast, and the Holy Dragon Lord's idea is to rely on this place to build a new frontier city.

At the same time, it will serve as a supply station, and in the future, there may be negotiations with the Hundred Thousand Mountains side.

However, establishing this place requires a powerful force to oversee it and a planner to manage its development. How about you and the Poison Master going together? Rest assured, the resources for city construction will be provided by the association and the legion.

But some of the Rong family's self-profiting facilities will require your own arrangements. The legion and the association will also provide support, but you'll need to repay them with profits afterward, without interest.'

This was the real bombshell Su Ping had prepared.

Undoubtedly, the impact of this bombshell first left Rong Bao, the great-uncle, stunned and dazed.
