Chapter 340: Family Tree
The reason Chu Jiang came up with this plan was mainly because he was worried that the manpower in his branch wouldn’t be able to control this big family of spirits. It would be troublesome if something happened.
After all, Chu Jiang couldn’t stay still in the branch every day, let alone take this family of over ten people with him wherever he went. In the past few days, he planned to go to the United States.
The Lin family members had different expressions upon hearing this plan – some were pensive, some were hesitant, and some had hidden thoughts…
Just then, the old master took out an old book from his pocket and handed it to Chu Jiang.
"Here, this is our family tree from the Lin family. If someone tries to leave your control and secretly run away, this thing can help you."
The Lin family was caught off guard by the old master’s act of "suppressing" their own people.
Some individuals even felt dissatisfied, thinking that the old master was being too kind to outsiders, but they didn’t dare to show it openly.
The old master looked at them seriously, "After all these years, I know each and every one of your personalities very well. Among you, there are restless individuals for whom good and evil are just concepts."
"When you are inside the ancestral hall, I am there to keep you in check, and you wouldn’t dare to misbehave. But once you are outside and completely free from any restraints, I have no doubt that some of you will quickly corrupt and be devoured by evil influences."
"Don’t think that you have great self-control. If you truly did, when we intercepted Chu Jiang last time, none of you would have been on the verge of losing control, one by one."
"You all have already died long ago, even though you have indirectly gained a very long lifespan. But I believe you are well aware that you cannot achieve immortality through this method."
"We are using the old methods of our ancestors, but not many predecessors have successfully passed them down. They probably ended up in ruin as they walked step by step towards destruction between human nature and demonic nature."
"If you want your consciousness to continue existing, remember this and stay true to yourselves."
The old gentleman’s words were full of meaning.
Simply put, it means not trusting these people’s self-control. They must have means to restrain them in order to make them obedient and be good people.
Seeing everyone silent and no one arguing, Chu Jiang unceremoniously collected the Lin family’s genealogy.
This should be a special seal that can control and suppress the Lin family members listed in the genealogy.
Then, Chu Jiang looked at everyone again and said, "Although we need to split into two groups, I can take everyone out to explore this new world for a few days."
"Let me show you the tremendous changes that have happened on this continent in just over a hundred years."
As soon as they heard this, Second Young Lady and Fifth Young Master immediately began whispering excitedly. Being young, they were most looking forward to it.
After making the promise, Chu Jiang asked, "Who among the first batch wants to stay voluntarily in the ancestral hall?"
The Second Madam and the Fourth Young Master were the first to raise their hands.
Then the others looked at each other. If twelve people need to stay half, at least four people need to stay.
The eldest young master thought for a moment, "Count me in."
In this way, three more people are needed… but after a while, no one volunteered to stay, it seems they really want to leave this place desperately.
Finally, the Fifth Young Master Lin Xinghe weakly raised his hand, "Count me in too."
However, the senior master shook his head, "Xiu Bi, you stay, along with the first three people. For now, let these four people stay at the ancestral hall. The others can come back next time. Let’s schedule a rotation every three months."
Xiu Bi is the Madam, her face looked a bit unpleasant. She had a pair of eyes, one black and one white, that were uncontrollably spinning around. But she didn’t dare say anything, just lowered her head.
Chu Jiang didn’t have any objections either. It doesn’t have to be equal numbers for both groups. In fact, after having the family genealogy, even if he took everyone out, there was no need to worry too much.
However, the senior master obviously felt that this rotation mechanism was better. It could help him regularly observe the situation of each person.
Since everything was settled, Chu Jiang discussed the details with the old man and then led everyone outside.
The old man stood in place with his cane, silently watching these "young people" walk out of the main hall, towards the dark road, and towards the transparent whirlpool at the end of the road…
His face was aged, weathered by time. He wondered how long he could keep watching over these descendants like this.
……
As they stepped out of the ancestral hall and saw the real Lin Ancestral Hall, they were surprised by how lively it was. Even the Lin family members themselves were amazed.
They were also quite interested in the "strange" clothing of the visitors.
While leading them outside, Chu Jiang said, "For the next few days, try not to expose yourselves to ordinary people. I’ll find a guide to show you around and introduce you to modern knowledge."
"For now, let’s go see the place where you will be working in the future."
With this group of Ghost Masters from the Lin family, Chu Jiang could basically do without much help from headquarters. Not to mention last time when Jing Ruoxue followed his instructions and brought two reliable Ghost Masters from her own family.
So now, based on the number of Ghost Masters under his command, Chu Jiang is just as capable as the other captains in the institute, and he may even surpass them in terms of combat abilities.
After all, the Ghost Masters from the Lin family were already powerful when they were alive, and they become even scarier after death.
……
Slowly, they walked to Tianfeng Mansion with everyone, listening to their amazement and having discussions about transportation, tall buildings, and a variety of goods. Chu Jiang finally managed to break free from his previous extreme state of mind after controlling the Black Sun.
It’s true that one must interact more with people in order to maintain their humanity better.
Taking the elevator with everyone to the top floor, as soon as they entered the branch office entrance, Chu Jiang unexpectedly saw a young man dressed in a white shirt and outdated attire, enthusiastically chatting with Gao Yifei at the reception desk.
"You don’t know, but your boss and I are no strangers. The battle between us is widely discussed on the forum now, and they have recognized my strength, thinking that I am still honorable even in defeat…"
Gao Yifei coughed at this moment, signaling the talkative young man in front of him to look behind.
Chen Xiaodong turned around with a puzzled expression, and then he was startled!
"Wow, there are so many ghosts! Hurry, run, I’ll protect you."
Seeing Chen Xiaodong nervously strike a Wing Chun stance, Gao Yifei felt confused. He only saw Chu Jiang walking in alone. Are there really ghosts? Or was he being tricked?
