521 Eradicate Seven Branches Part 6

The next day, Song Yu swiftly gathered all the elders in the family by using her father's prestige. She came out of her courtyard, finding her father just wanted to enter her room.

"Good Morning, Father." She bowed her head, greeting him politely.

"Yeah. I was surprised to see you asking for a meeting last night, so I want to ask you what happens first before the meeting starts. After all, there might be some dissatisfaction from the elders if there is nothing important." A blonde middle-aged man said.

"Don't worry, Father. There is something really important that we need to discuss… the topic I want to discuss today might concern the fate of our very family." Song Yu said with a serious expression. She suddenly remembered that she forgot to say thank you to Alex because of the severeness of this matter.

"Such a thing…" He furrowed his eyebrows, wondering what kind of thing was that. Even though they had a cold war against the Fire God Clan and Joyful Union Sect, it was not at this level.

They walked toward the meeting hall, finding ten old men in the hall.

"Patriarch, what is this all about?"

"Is there a problem that concerns the fate of our family to make an emergency meeting like this?"

"Patriarch…"

He turned to blind ear, walking toward his own seat while pointing at Song Yu. "She is the one who wants to hold this meeting."

"What?"

"Young Miss?"

"Young Miss, you should not outstep your bound as you have yet to become the Patriarch of this clan."

Song Yu released her killing intent and shouted, "I am calling elders because our family is in that situation."

"..." They wanted to rebuke her again, but the words stuck on their throat after seeing how serious she was.

Another person suddenly came inside the room. He was a muscular old man with half of his blonde hair had turned white. A smile appeared on his face, brightening the situation inside. "Hoho. It seems I am not late… So, little Song Yu is the one who holds the meeting. From your reaction alone, it would seem this is really a big matter. After all, despite your cheerful side, you are a very serious person. Then, I want to ask little Song Yu, in one simple sentence, how is the family's situation?"

"Grandfather." She clasped her hand respectfully, knowing that her grandfather asked her this to silence the mass. She gave a quick answer. "If the family does not want to be razed into the ground by a peak Rank 8 Array Master, please listen to me."

*Gasp-!* The elders opened their eyes wide, wondering if they heard it right.

"Oh… a peak Rank 8 Array Master?" Her grandfather narrowed his eyes.

"Yes. He is a Space Element Array Master at that." Song Yu nodded, telling Maxwell's identity that she knew.

"!!!" The elders' hearts skipped a beat when they heard the array master had a space element. On the other hand, her grandfather came to a realization as he asked, "Does this matter about Alexander Sirius?"

"Exactly so." She nodded.

"I see. I will oversee the meeting right now, you can start." The old man smiled, releasing a little pressure with his smile.

"Thank you, Grandfather." She clasped her hand again before turning to the elders. "Last night, I received news that a huge storm will brew in this very continent. The first thing that will happen is that the Joyful Union Sect will try to buy as many pills as possible from us."

"That… That is a good thing for us. We need to get a list of our pills from the logistics department… I am sure the Seventh Elder is the one who handles the logistics…" One of them was surprised and looked at another elder.

"I haven't finished my piece." Song Yu halted them from discussing this. "We are not going to sell a single pill to them."

"Wha-!"

"Young Miss!"

"That's foolish."

"With the condition of Joyful Union Sect now, we can expect a few hundred thousand to a million Spirit Gems."

"Shut up!" This time, her grandfather released his pressure. As one would expect from the strongest of Blackwade Clan, a 3-Star Martial Monarch. Even the elders were unwilling, nothing they could do. He looked at Song Yu. "Continue."

"Yes." She nodded. "This request is coming from a boy named Alexander Sirius. I am sure none of you know about this since only me, Father, Grandfather, my little sister, and Honda Sana know this person. That's why I will explain it first…

"He is my Junior Brother in the Heavenly Sword Sect. He has a very mysterious background that no matter how I search, I would never find it. And every time I set an expectation on him, he just shatters it and completely surpasses that expectation.

"And from what I have seen, his master is a peak rank 8 Space Element Master. I know what you want to say, but if you think a single wisp of soul can use Spiritual Energy and Mental Energy at the same time to send every single person in Willow Continent back to the Northern Continent with just a single clap is someone ordinary, then I don't know what you think unordinary.

"Anyway, I have accepted his request, but his master is not my sole reason I am accepting this. The second reason is that he promised to bring three million Spirit Gems worth of Medicinal Ingredients to us in a few months.

"For the time being, he has sent one million worth to us and will arrive in a few days. He is our VIP Card holder, and I have checked the credibility of his card. He said he is willing to annul that bonus and give us, which means we can get around two million Spirit Gems with all of those Medicinal Ingredients.

"And there is one more problem that you need to take note of. I will need to ensure that none of you will smuggle any pills to the Joyful Union Sect. If that happens, then you can expect that this clan will be destroyed in the near future." Song Yu explained, making the entire room shocked.

Even her grandfather looked at her without blinking. After a few seconds, her grandfather coughed and asked, "Do you know the reason why the Joyful Union Sect wants to buy pills?"

"I don't know. He only said we would know the reason a few days later." Song Yu shook her head.

"Hmm…" He closed his eyes for a bit before opening it again. "We can hold this matter off for a few days until the medicinal ingredients arrive, and the reason shows up."

"..." Song Yu pondered for a moment and nodded her head. "I understand."

Seeing her disappointed, he assured her. "Don't worry. If what you said is true, I will be the one to ensure that myself. If any of these people will bring harm to this clan, I will send their heads flying by myself."

"Yes." She nodded. "Actually, Grandfather, there is another matter that I want to discuss with you after this."

"Sure. Just ask me later." He smiled before turning to the elders. "No elders shall go outside in these few days until we get the news."

"Yes."

"Alright. Do your normal matter." He waved his hand, letting the elders discuss the normal matter… albeit this matter is in their mind the entire time, making them discuss it most of the time.

"Song Yu, come with me outside." Her grandfather smiled, waving his hand.

She nodded happily and followed him.

"Haha… So, is our little Song Yu smitten by him to help him this much? I am sure his master is not the only reason, right?" He smiled, asking an unexpected question.

"Grandfather is right." She was not flustered by the question, keeping that calm smile of her. "I am not smitten by him. I still have many things to do before I can talk about that. As for the reason… I think I have several reasons. He is my Junior Brother and the one who made me go back earlier than I expected.

"Then, he helped Honda Sana, who became my assistant after Putri became Song Jia's assistance. As for his own talents, I am sure Grandfather knew that already and he even saved Song Jia's life not long ago. I have too many debts to pay." She smiled.

"Hoho… Is that so? Haiz, I thought I would see a great-grandson or a granddaughter soon. It seems even a man of that caliber can't take my granddaughter's heart. Such a shame." He shook his head, disappointed.

"Haha… Grandfather is joking. He is a fine man, and if I don't have this responsibility, I would surely fall in love with him. It's just this is not the time. Besides, if you look at his wives, you will know why I won't think about it." She shook her head but kept her smile, not disappointed by her decision.

"Fine… I won't talk about this any longer." He shrugged. "So, what do you want to ask me?"

"Grandfather knows that he has a VIP card, right?"

"Indeed."

"Actually, his VIP card is somewhat special." Song Yu glanced left and right, unsure whether to ask it or not.

"Special?" He closed his eyes, recalling something in his mind. As soon as he opened his eyes, his jaw dropped to the ground, saying with a shocked tone. "He… Special VIP Card… Did his card have double 'V' there?"

"Eh? Grandfather, how did you know?" Song Yu was startled.

"That…" He was taken aback, placing his hand on Song Yu's shoulder.

"Did you know anything about that card?"

He gritted his teeth, shaking his head in disappointment. "I only heard the rumor about it. It is said that there is one more level for our VIP Card. I heard if a card like that appears, he or she can mobilize a portion or even our entire force…

"That is the rumor that I have heard. As for its credibility… I doubt it." He shook his head.

"Is that really a rumor? Maybe there is such a thing in our family's book?" Hope flashed in Song Yu's eyes, piquing her curiosity.

"I am afraid it will be hard to get the archive for that…" He let out a long sigh.

"Why? Although we only have many books, it should not be that long to go through all of them." Song Yu pondered for a moment and said, "I can go through them alone within a month."

"No no. That is not a problem here." He waved his hand, telling her to stop.

"Then what is the problem?" Song Yu looked at him with a confused face.

"It's because I heard this rumor back when I stayed in the main clan." He closed his eyes, furrowing his eyebrows. He disappointed himself.

"Main clan?" Song Yu opened her mouth in surprise.

"Yeah. If you want to know the truth about that card, you can only go to the main clan in the Heavenly Continent."

"..." She looked down, not knowing what to say.

"I think it is good to go there. You can even bring him there… I have disappointed the clan back then, making them exile me. With your ability and talent, I am sure you can gain the recognition of the main family."

"But… I just want to stay in this family."

"I am glad if you think that way, but you should not waste that talent of yours. If you really want to stay here, why don't you guide him to the main clan first and discover the card's secret then go home? That way, you might get rewarded or something. It's not only for you but also for our entire clan." He smiled.

"Ehm…" Song Yu did not know whether she actually wanted to do that or not.

"Haha… I am sure even if you want to go there, you need to reach Martial Monarch at the very least as to make sure no random person could bully you. Just take your time and think about it, I will always be watching over you."

"Yes. Thank you, Grandfather." Song Yu nodded.
