As he spoke, Jiang Weihai turned to Su Chen, then looked at the seven children beside him. He patted Su Chen's shoulder with particular affection and said, "Chenchen, you're lucky to have seven children."
"If the others in the family found out, they'd probably be green with envy."
"Especially since you have quintuplets and twins."
"The Jiang Family hasn't had twins in over a hundred years, let alone multiple births."
"Seeing how outstanding you are now, I've thought of a way to solve the Jiang Family's population problem. But it still needs approval from the Elder Council, and I don't know whether it'll work. We could try it for a while, though."
Su Chen said, "Great-Grandfather, are you thinking of having people from the Jiang Family marry people from the Mortal Realm?"
"Right. It's worth a try, though there's no telling how it'll go. It's not as if cultivators and mortals have never had children together, but those children have all had poor aptitude. Not one has reached the Transcendent Realm and truly set foot on the path of cultivation." Jiang Weihai continued, "You're a very special exception. If Zihan and the others reach Peak Grandmaster and take the transcendent path, then break through into the Transcendent Realm, you'll become a shining example of success. That would show that not just one generation, but the second generation as well, can become Transcendent cultivators. That would be tremendously significant!"
"It would greatly help me push this plan through. If it succeeds, it'll be a major achievement for me. Haha! One day, even I, your Great-Grandfather, might have a shot at becoming head of the Jiang Family."
Jiang Weihai had never considered competing for the position of family head before.
The head of the Jiang Family was the equivalent of an emperor.
