Long Jue looked at his second son with a wry smile. Judging by interests, winning over the Branch Families staying behind was clearly the best choice. As for those who were about to leave, whether they prospered or struggled under Gang Shi in the future would have little to do with him.
Even if they prospered, they probably would not be grateful for this small favor. After all, exploring a galaxy could take several generations. By the time enough years had passed, the First Branch would have plenty of time to wear away this little kindness of theirs.
The families staying behind were different. As affiliated families, they would have to deal with each other constantly. Showing goodwill now would make the family's future operations smoother and earn them greater recognition.
Yet his second son had still chosen another path.
He knew this did not mean his second son was foolish. It was simply the sort of person his son had always been. He believed this was fair, so that was what he did, without considering the benefits at all.
After enduring so many hardships, his second son's character had somehow remained unchanged. It was hard to tell whether that was good or bad.
Still, if one said it was bad, that did not seem quite right either.
Aside from the eccentric Sansa, every child in his second son's family was a top talent. If his second son's way of thinking really was flawed, why did one outstanding child after another emerge from his family? One could be called an accident, but two or three could not all be accidents, right?
Long Jue did not believe that talent alone could bring a child success. He had lived for countless years and seen many gifted people ultimately become ordinary.
