Chapter 669: The Absolutely Calm Eldest Young Master of the Chu Family

In Li Fei's view, such a large family, especially one situated in Jingcheng where the Nine Major Families prevailed, they each maintained a balance.

It was not like Pengcheng, where stirring up a little turbulence could upheave everything. Unless the Chu Family itself invited trouble, even if someone wished to annex them, the three great families amongst the top tier would not agree.

If any of the bottom six families disappeared, it would pose a certain threat to the top three families. They couldn't afford to see a few families strengthen by means of mergers; that was a balance.

And this balance was not for the overall equilibrium of Jingcheng, but rather to maintain the inherent power of these three major families. So as long as the Chu Family acted honestly, no one would shake their status. Unfortunately, blinded by greed and biting off more than they could chew, now someone wanted to divide up a portion of the Chu Family's interests.
