The Qin Family spent a full day in a secret meeting over whether Lin Shuguang was the mysterious Swordsman they were looking for.
In the end, the Qin Family Clan Elder left first to resume his seclusion.
But the Qin Family Patriarch and the other current leaders remained in the Cabinet Conference Hall.
"Big Brother, the Special Management Bureau's stance is ambiguous. I think it has something to do with the upcoming change in leadership..." The third brother of the Qin Family pondered briefly before speaking.
The Qin Family Patriarch remained silent, looking down at the fountain pen in his hand without a word.
The others also sank into puzzled contemplation, brows furrowed... Just as the clan elder had said, "There is no need for doubt. If our Qin Family says he is the one, then he is. But Lin Shuguang is exceptionally strong. If our Qin Family wants to deal with him, we must mobilize the entire clan. None of us can bear that cost.
"The King of Qin has yet to return. Do not act on your own initiative. Continue according to plan. Our Qin Family's great undertaking is imminent. Do not sacrifice the greater goal for a minor matter... So what if we let him off for now? Once our Qin Family completes its great undertaking, never mind one Lin Shuguang-what could ten or even a hundred of him do?
"There is only one outcome for those who offend our Qin Family. Do not forget our family's maxim."
After a long silence in the conference room, the Qin Family Patriarch finally spoke. "Continue the Expansion Plan. As for Lin Shuguang, we cannot let him off either. Send people to keep a close eye on him and report any signs of activity immediately. The clan elders are right.
