"This matter is extremely important to the family—far more important than you winning over Dugu Yan and making Dugu Bo our in-law."
Uncle Liang's face was grave, and his tone brooked no argument.
Although the family hadn't told him outright, he could guess the general reason without asking. They surely wanted to use Spirit Bones to produce a Titled Douluo.
Since the clan leader and elders had suddenly made such a decision,
there had to be a reason behind it.
The only possibility he could think of was that the family had run into trouble.
And this trouble required two Titled Douluos to resolve.
Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan were still young. They couldn't possibly marry anytime soon.
Which meant they couldn't count on Dugu Bo.
So the Spirit Bones had to take priority over Yu Tianheng winning over Dugu Yan.
At those words, Yu Tianheng was utterly speechless.
Even if Spirit Bones were important to the family, what did that have to do with him?
He wouldn't benefit from it anyway.
And as long as he won over Dugu Yan, he was guaranteed to become the next clan leader.
He'd have to be out of his mind to agree.
Still, he wasn't stupid enough to say what he really thought out loud.
He'd agree for now.
Then he'd come back and say he'd asked around and found nothing. It wasn't as if Uncle Liang could go check for himself.
"Okay."
Yu Tianheng took a deep breath, looking as though he'd been forced to sacrifice his own interests for the greater good.
Uncle Liang nodded in satisfaction.
At least he was willing to give up his personal interests for the family's sake. He wasn't beyond saving.
"Uncle Liang, I'll be going now."
"Go. Get it done as soon as possible."
