Inside the living room of the Yin Lineage in North Wind City.
At this moment, Chen Mu, Yin Zhan, Yin Jing, and Zheng Fengdao sat on one side, while the rest of the Yin Lineage sat opposite them. Yin Guang also ordered people to bring out wine and snacks for everyone to enjoy.
"Brother Chen Mu, as the saying goes, no fight, no friendship."
Since you're Zhan'er's friend, then you're a friend of the Yin Lineage. Come! Let's have a drink.
Yin Guang raised his wine glass, his smile hearty.
Okay! Let's have a drink then.
Chen Mu nonchalantly picked up his wine glass and drank opposite Yin Guang.
After finishing his drink, Chen Mu put down his glass, pondered for a moment, and then spoke to Yin Guang.
"Master Yin Lineage, based on what I've learned these past two days, the Ma Lineage members are domineering and reckless, completely disregarding rules and laws."
"With the Ma Lineage's way of doing things, do you really think that marrying Yin Jing to Ma Haobo will make Ma Lineage treat you well?"
Upon hearing this, Yin Guang sighed, his expression extremely complicated.
"But at the very least, Ma Haobo will help us in the short term. As long as our Yin Lineage can get through this difficult period, with our Yin Lineage's resources, we might still have a chance to turn things around."
Chen Mu looked up at Yin Guang, knowing that mocking their incompetence at this point would be pointless, so he changed the subject.
"Have you ever thought about leaving North Wind City and seeking development in other cities?"
"You mean... the whole family relocates?"
Yin Guang frowned and confirmed.
"Yes! With the strength of your Yin Lineage, you can easily start over in another city, at least that way you won't be targeted by Ma Haocheng again."
"No way! My Yin Lineage has been operating in North Wind City for over a thousand years; our foundation is right here."
"If we leave, we will lose everything—our businesses, land, connections, and so on. How easy would it be to rebuild such a foundation?"
Before Yin Guang could speak, Yin Lirong answered first, appearing very excited.
"Industry? Land? Haha..."
Chen Mu couldn't help but laugh, and he laughed for quite a while before stopping.
"The world is in chaos now, and warlords are rising up everywhere. Do you really think that you can preserve your power by simply being law-abiding and avoiding conflict? That's incredibly naive!"
Yin Lirong's face turned ashen from Chen Mu's laughter, but due to Chen Mu's formidable strength, he dared not retaliate and could only retort.
"Since you know that the world is in chaos, you should understand that in chaotic times, human life is as cheap as a dog. How many people are dying outside every day!"
Although our Yin Lineage is not doing well in North Wind City, we are still much better off than many other Lineage.
Do you know that three years ago, North Wind City had Lineage, but now only two remain? What made us successful? It's because we knew how to assess the situation and behave ourselves!
After Yin Lirong said that, Chen Mu's smile faded and his expression became serious.
Although Yin Lirong is somewhat stubborn, it's clear that he genuinely cares about the Yin Lineage.
If the Yin Lineage wants to relocate to another city, they will definitely have to compete with the local forces there. After a bloody battle, it's hard to say whether they will succeed or fail.
Now, with war raging everywhere and the situation even more complicated, if the entire clan were to migrate, the ordinary clansmen would certainly suffer even more.
"But have you ever considered that the feud between Yin Zhan and Ma Haocheng is just a pretext? The West Liang Ma Lineage just wants to take this opportunity to weaken your influence."
"If you stay here, you'll be like frogs being slowly boiled in water. Sooner or later, the West Liang Ma Lineage will devour you completely."
Chen Mu analyzed.
"Brother Chen Mu, what you're saying is something we've actually considered as well."
Yin Guang didn't want Chen Mu and Yin Lirong to start arguing again, so he stood up.
"But we have no other choice but to deal with the Ma Lineage!"
Hearing Yin Guang say this, Chen Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because the topic had finally returned to the direction he wanted to express.
"If that's the case, I do have a good idea. I wonder if you'd be interested?"
As soon as Chen Mu uttered those words, everyone present perked up and turned their attention to Chen Mu.
"What method is it? Tell me!"
Yin Guang said anxiously.
"Migrate to the Wilderness and join my Chen Village!"
After Chen Mu finished speaking, everyone fell silent, and Yin Lirong looked particularly dissatisfied.
I agree!
Yin Zhan was the first to speak.
I agree!
Although Yin Jing was confused, she also raised her hand.
"Nonsense!"
Yin Lirong ignored the two people and stood up from his seat.
"Brother Chen Mu, we appreciate your kindness, but let's call it a day."
Someone! Show the guest out...
He beckoned, and two servants entered.
"Slow!"
Yin Guang actually stopped Yin Lirong. He looked at Yin Lirong and shook his head.
"Elder, let's hear what Brother Chen Mu has to say!"
Frankly, I'd rather be in the Wilderness with those wild beasts than deal with those well-dressed wolves in the city lord's mansion. Anyway, there's no harm in listening to their opinions."
Yin Lirong glanced at Yin Guang in surprise, then helplessly shook his head and turned back to his seat.
Yin Guang sighed and turned to look at Chen Mu.
"Brother Chen Mu, let's not even talk about whether my Yin Lineage wants to develop in the Wilderness."
"The remote Wilderness is hundreds of thousands of miles away from here. Moving so many of our people there wouldn't be an easy task."
Chen Mu nodded and said earnestly.
"This is indeed a bit troublesome! The relocation I'm talking about certainly doesn't mean you can move your entire clan there. I can only help you move the main branch of the Yin Lineage."
My idea is this: there should be more than a dozen large spaceships currently stationed in North Wind City, each capable of carrying two to three thousand people, which is theoretically enough for the main branch of your Yin Lineage.
"If you wish, I can escort these ships you are on to the Wilderness to join my tribe."
The Yin Lineage has existed for over a thousand years. If you look closely, there are no fewer than a million people with slight blood ties, but the true main branch of the Yin Lineage only has twenty to thirty thousand people.
In fact, according to the tradition of the Pan Emperor Continent, those branches that split off no longer belong to the main branch of the Beifeng Yin Lineage. They no longer have much to do with the Yin Lineage, so the Yin Lineage would not have taken them with them when they migrated.
"I see! If Brother Chen Mu were to escort you along the way, it would be quite safe."
Yin Guang was already somewhat tempted, but he was not yet clear about the situation in the Wilderness and dared not make a decision immediately.
"Then let's do this for now. Brother Chen Mu, please rest at my Yin residence for the night, and I'll discuss it with my clansmen."
"Sure! But I have limited patience, so I hope it won't take too long."
Actually, if it weren't for Yin Zhan's sake, he wouldn't have thought much of the Yin Lineage. But since things have come to this point, it's only right to give them some time to consider.
