Family Matters

In one year and a half Wen Jin's northwest region became very well developed and the little village that once poor became a well developed city, the support was because the northwest branch family of Han; Han Xin branch family. Han Xin domain and Wen Jin domain supporting each other, the region products also being established by the Liu's family, the products was mostly silver and steel, but the main specialty of Han Xin domain was wheat, so infrastructure such as flour factory and winery was thriving. On the other side of the shrieking willows was the wind corridor forest, on the forest there are a special spirit beast silk worm that the local found that able to be used to produced silk, the silk was very strong, it was flexible but unable to be slashed by steel! "Armor silk" the local made it into hunting clothes and under garment of an armor set.

Wen Jin flew in the sky using the bronze flying turtle shell, his intention was to visited the ancestor hall and listed his offspring into the big family record, which was a scheme to talk to his great grandfather Wen Xiong, Wen Jin wanted to procure a permit from the main family to also use the northern land! Wen Jin has a crazy plan that he needs the elder approval to warrant it!

"Greetings great grandfather." Wen Jin cupped his hand and bowed his head.

"I heard i has a new great great grandson!" Wen Xiong smiled.

"His name is Wen Shan and he is already awaken, since he was half dragon." Wen Jin.

"Good! My your bloodline be prosper! Hahaha" Wen Xiong laughed.

"It was yours too great grandfather." Wen Jin.

"What brought you here!" Wen Xiong frowned.

"I need land,access and management permits on the northern region!" Wen Jin.

"That forest on the rocky barren land? What is it with you and the north?" Wen Xiong.

Wen Jin began to told him the story that Xuanwu has told him, the demonic power that leads the undead mountain power is rising. Since the Wen occupied the north, prevention should be made, Wen Jin Northwest domain, Northern forest and Wen Jin Northeast domain is the front line, the outer rim! Wen Xiong nod his head, and then sip on his tea thinking.

"Then you got permission, but i would like to give you a permanent title too!" Wen Xiong take out a small golden tiger statue token which was the Wen family symbol of elders!

"Great grandfather, please explain" Wen Jin.

"I want you to be one of the honorary elder that defend the northern border! The position has been idle for so long, the last one were.." Wen Xiong fell silent. Wen Jin knew the last position of honorary elder was held by his grand father (Wen Xiong only Son).

"You should bear his legacy, i have seen what you are capable off, a fierce tiger truly will not have a dog as his offspring!" Wen Xiong was referring Wen Jin to be as great as his Son, or evermore powerful!

"Thank you!" Wen Jin accepted the golden tiger statue token and put it on his pouch storage.

"With that token, you would be able to patrol the border walls of our northern region, there is an abandoned garrison almost to the northern walls of our land, that place used to be visited by my son once a month! Ever since, hmmf!" Wen Xiong sighed "my son only left me two grandson, one also perished on that god forsaken place! That is why is better for your father to hold a position on the main family! Otherwise my bloodline would be seize to exist!"

"I will try to preserved our bloodline to my utmost ability!" Wen Jin.

"One more thing!" Wen Xiong waved his hand, a sound proof barrier was made.

"The issues that was a secret are about your grandfather and eldest uncle disappearing! Their body were never found! There is a place of great power on the northernmost region of our land, we called it "the underground garden" they are seems to be great connections between that place and their disappearance! Many clansmen from our family that i sent to investigate the matter was never return after entering that place, and my elder status preventing me to go there! I could never lose your father so i give up investigating the place as a lost cause!" Wen Xiong eyes was gleaming with tears.

At first Wen Jin was about to open a route that connects the northeast and northwest domain of his, because is a lot of closer than using the central plains routes that focused on long but flat roads.

"The solution just became a whole entire realm of problems! Hmmf!" Wen Jin sighed while walking out from the elder family halls.

Wen Jin come home to his father house, he talked to his mother which very upset.

"Wen Jin! I am glad you are here, i am just going to asked you to come here, we need to talk!" Liu Siang.

"Is it about my children's mother? I will take them here to visit when they are old enough to travel here." Wen Jin smiled.

"Okay! But that is not the problem we need to talk to! It's your sister!" Liu Siang.

"Huh!? What happen to her?" Wen Jin was a bit surprised, his sister was a level 7 spiritualist, even when she was physically weak in combat but her spiritual beast was more than enough to kick ass of many common or even few of the uncommon ones!

"Someone liked her and issued a marriage proposal!" Liu Siang.

"What she is 7 years old!" Wen Jin.

"I know! But the groom candidate was also 9 years old!" Liu Siang.

"What!? Who was it?" Wen Jin curious.

Liu Siang began to tell the story, an senior hall master from the Han family went to the Liu's house to bought some spirit beast and spiritual herbs.

"Han's!?" Wen Jin alerted.

The senior hall master brought his grandson to see the market, he run in into Wen Siang and had an argument, apparently the grandson also a genius that just manage to breakthrough to level 7, he was there to find a spirit battle beast! Anyway, they got into a duel betting using only their first spirit beast, the boy get his ass kick by Wen Siang's spirit beast! The senior hall master was so impressed he asked Wen siang's hand in marriage for his grandson, it seems the grandson also taking a liking of your sister! Your grandfather Liu Yan, did tell them that he can not agree to it, the senior hall master directly sent the marriage proposal to the main family house.

"Replied the letter asked them to asked me, my sister belongs to my house hold!" Wen Jin.

"Then you deal with this! Your father has a lot on his plate nowadays, so many battle spirit beast died on the last eastern region war, he was everyday wandering spirit beast auctions and training hall looking for the best battling beast he could find! Good thing your domain could help by providing some of the required quota! Otherwise your father job would keep him away from home for several months!" Liu Siang.

"I'll handle this! Sent a letter tell her to go back northwest to my mansion! I want to see their sincerity, do they dare to chase her down to my domain, even the main family do not dare to cross me!" Wen Jin.

"But this marriage proposal!" Liu Siang was a bit worried because the insignia was of the Han main family house!

"Write back a letter now!" Hurriedly Liu Siang begin to write a replied explaining that Wen Siang was Wen Jin responsibility, and to asked her hand in marriage the Han should asked the head of the northwest branch Wen family, which was Wen Jin!

"Here give this to the Wen main family if something would troubled you by the letter you replied!" Wen Jin also wrote a letter of explanation, but something surprised Liu Siang.

"Wen Jin! This insignia!" Liu Siang look at Wen Siang.

"Great grandfather just appointed me to replace my eldest uncle position on the northern region, i have absolute power over the northern region!" Wen Jin.

"But you need to be careful, the place is cursed! Two of our bloodline generations perished on that land!" Liu Siang knew Wen Jin's temperament, the more she persuade the more Wen Jin would persist.

"Don't worry mother, i am perfectly aware what this responsibility hold, i have no intentions to leave this world yet, your son was the strongest branch family lord in this family! Have some confidence in me!" Wen Jin pat her hand.

"Wen Jin.." Liu Siang shed tears.

"Do not worried mother, i am not a little boy anymore, i have responsibility to.my children too,i won't be reckless!" Wen Jin assured Liu siang. His mother nod her head "you go home then! I would tell about your father when he got back!"

"Please tell him slowly, he should not worried too, that only give him overbearing pressures" Wen Jin excuse himself, after hugging his mother.
