Deng Chun felt somewhat dazed, emotionally.
His mind, however, remained fairly clear—cold and silent.
He met Deng Wei's gaze, doing his best to understand the message hidden in the latter's eyes. He did not expect The Other Side to put it more plainly. If it were too plain, he might be the first one unable to bear it.
Yet Deng Wei really did continue. "Twenty-Seventh Brother, I know what you're worried about. The Old Man's physical condition has indeed reached the point where measures must be taken. At this stage, only the medical plan recommended by Mr. Old Elers is feasible.
"Among us, a few are destined to give everything they have to help the Old Man get through this ordeal. That is the core value they were born destined to fulfill.
"But I still have to emphasize that even if we were born into the Deng Family, even if we are all the Old Man's bloodline, each person's circumstances and development differ. Take me, for example. Take you—you must believe that the Old Man has truly opened his heart to you."

Most of the people on this airship who carried his bloodline would probably soon become "bloodline" in the literal sense.
And this was absolutely not a spur-of-the-moment idea.
