“Taoist Qiu, is this true? Does he really have King’s Fate, and is he important to Great Qin’s Legatee?”

Just the fact that Zhao Fu had King’s Fate already made him extraordinary, and upon hearing that he was linked to Great Qin’s Legatee, the family leaders couldn’t help but become serious as they asked Qiu Fengzi.

Qiu Fengzi nodded earnestly as he thought to himself, “This person here is Great Qin’s Legatee himself – how can he not have King’s Fate or be linked to Great Qin’s Legatee?”

Seeing Qiu Fengzi confirm this, the family leaders looked at Zhao Fu and smiled. Ordinary people would never have King’s Fate because anyone who possessed King’s Fate had the potential to become a King.

For someone with King’s Fate to appear, how could they not be happy?

“Since this was all a misunderstanding, let’s not talk about what just happened. You’re called Zhao Fu, right? From today onwards, you’ll be the Ying family’s seventh young master and enjoy the same rights and privileges as the others,” one of the family leaders smiled as he announced loudly.

The family leaders made this decision not only because of what Qiu Fengzi had said but also because they had felt that King’s Might from Zhao Fu. King’s Might made people instinctively respect him, and even they, who held a lot of power, didn’t dare to look him in the eye. It was evident how extraordinary the person in front of them was.

What they had felt had been confirmed by Qiu Fengzi, but they had never thought that Zhao Fu would be important to Great Qin’s Legatee. This made them treat him even more seriously because Great Qin’s Legatee was the most important existence to the Ying family and anything related to him was of utmost importance.

As such, after a lot of consideration, they finally made this decision.

After hearing this, everyone was completely dumbfounded – this collateral family member, who had been nothing, had suddenly become the seventh young master of the Ying family. Going from such a lowly position to such a prestigious position was like the difference between the earth and the sky.

The faces of the people who had been mocking Zhao Fu instantly went pale, and their hearts trembled. Now, Zhao Fu’s position was far above theirs, and he could do what he wanted with them. Now, they were only existences in front of him.

Ying Xi never thought that the chess piece she had chosen back then would become someone on equal footing with her, and she also felt quite shocked.

Wu Qingniang had a beautiful smile on her face – she knew that Zhao Fu wasn’t as simple as he seemed, and he actually had King’s Fate. No wonder she had always felt that he was hiding something.

Ying Wu’s expression was ugly to the extreme. Now that Zhao Fu had become the seventh young master, his position was far above his own. After all, he was only a fake who was masquerading as Great Qin’s Legatee. It was possible that Zhao Fu would take his revenge against him now.

“I object!” Ying Qin angrily yelled. For Zhao Fu, who had such a low status, to now stand on equal footing with him, this felt like extreme humiliation to him. What’s more, Zhao Fu had just acted so impudently towards him; how could he agree to Zhao Fu becoming the seventh young master?

“Qin’Er, calm yourself! You have no say in this.” one of the family leaders frowned and said to the near-crazed Ying Qin.

“Hmph! Such a lowly person like him becoming a young master of the Ying family will be a humiliation to the Ying family. I refuse to allow him to stand on equal footing with me; it’s either me or him. Family leaders, please think about this – whether it’s bloodline, talents, or potential, my traits are the best in the entire Ying family, and I even have a great amount of Fate. If he becomes a young master of the Ying family, I’ll give up on my position and leave the Ying family!” Ying Qin yelled as he pointed at Zhao Fu.

This greatly displeased the family leaders – Ying Qin was actually threatening to leave the Ying family to force them to change their decision. For him to act so conceitedly and self-centered, the family leaders’ opinions of Ying Qin became even worse.

At the same time, they felt quite hesitant – Ying Qin was indeed the best out of the younger generation, and he had a great amount of Fate. His future would be quite extraordinary, and losing him would be a great loss for the Ying family.

However, Zhao Fu had a massive amount of King’s Fate, and because he could even help Great Qin’s Legatee, he was extremely important as well.

In the end, they decided to temporarily not give Zhao Fu the status of a young master of the Ying family for now, but he still had to be greatly nurtured. Even though he wouldn’t have the status of a young master, he would have power and authority. After all, Zhao Fu was extremely important to the Ying family, more so than even Ying Qin.

However, they took into account the fact that Zhao Fu was a member of the collateral family while Ying Qin was a member of the main family, so they decided to test Zhao Fu for now.

After discussing amongst themselves, an elderly man walked out and prepared to make the announcement. Seeing this, Ying Qin was about to loudly laugh – the Ying family would be standing on his side rather than that of a lowly collateral family member’s.

“Alright, since that’s what you want, I’ll act on behalf of Great Qin’s Legatee by expelling you from the Ying family,” another voice said before the elderly man could speak.

This caused countless gazes to once again fall on Zhao Fu in shock. It was Zhao Fu who had said those words.

The family leaders all looked completely dumbfounded as they stared at Zhao Fu, not sure what was happening.

Zhao Fu faced the countless people’s gazes and said, “That’s right. I’ve long since found Great Qin’s Legatee, who you’ve been looking for this entire time. He has chosen me as his representative to manage everything within the Ying family.”

This shocking piece of news caused those present to go into a frenzy.

The ordinary members of the Ying family looked quite confused as they glanced over at Ying Wu – wasn’t he Great Qin’s Legatee? Zhao Fu was his representative?

Upon hearing this, Ying Wu felt great terror, and his face went pale – when hearing about the true Legatee, how could a fake like him not feel terrified?

The Ying family’s higher-ups all looked incredibly excited, and this included the family leaders. They quickly asked, “Is this true? You’ve found Great Qin’s Legatee?”

Zhao Fu looked at the family leader who had spoken and answered, “Without a doubt. I can even ask for His Majesty to meet with the Ying family in East Green!”

“Okay, okay, okay…” The family leaders were overjoyed and rapidly nodded – this was something that they had dreamed about day and night, and now, it was finally going to happen. The family leaders couldn’t help but feel incredibly excited to finally meet Great Qin’s Legatee, and nothing else mattered more to them at that moment in time.

Hearing Zhao Fu’s words, Ying Xi also felt incredibly shocked – she had never thought that Zhao Fu would be in contact with Great Qin’s Legatee and become his representative.

Wu Qingniang looked at Zhao Fu and lightly harrumphed – this fellow had many things that he had hidden from her!

Upon seeing this scene, everyone else realized what was going on, and their gazes towards Ying Wu all changed. This fake had tricked many people. Many people had gifted him with precious gifts, and women had given their bodies to him. Now, it seemed that all of that had been for nothing.
