"Anian, don't be so formal, we are all family."

Just as I awkwardly greeted my future brother-in-law, Jiang Chengyue, after the formalities, Jiang Chengyue patted my shoulder and said.

Jiang Chengbi sat beside me, sometimes pulling my sleeve, sometimes tugging my hair, which led to her future mother-in-law scolding her several times.

I smiled and said it was fine, and then proceeded to peel several of her favorite shrimp for her.

After the banquet, the future father-in-law and the future brother-in-law dismissed the others and discussed important matters privately.

I thought I should excuse myself, but the brother-in-law held my shoulder, showing no intention of excluding me from the conversation.

In my embarrassment, they discussed many changes in the martial world and recent developments in the Jiang family's business.

"Father, I previously mentioned to you about the proposal to hire skilled outsiders to guard the estate, we can't delay this any longer." The brother-in-law seemed to be reiterating an old matter, referring to the previous life's decision to hire skilled guards from other sects to protect the city.

It dawned on me that the most visionary person in the entire Jiang family was not the caring father Jiang Chengzhu, but the Jiang family's young master, Jiang Chengyue, who was always busy outside.

"With the abilities of our Jiang family members, why do we need outsiders to guard the estate?" Jiang Chengzhu seemed very disdainful of this proposal.

Seeing the brother-in-law looking unsure of how to persuade his father, I pondered for a moment and then interjected:

"I shouldn't speak out of turn normally, but there's something I don't quite understand, I would like the City Lord and the Young Master to enlighten me."

Jiang Chengyue, who always cherished his little sister, was kind to me as well: "Please speak."

"Our Jiang family's unique martial arts require the support of certain medicines. But if one day, enemies attack and seize control of this vital point of the Jiang family, will we just sit back and wait for our doom?"

Jiang Chengzhu burst into laughter, still disdainful: "Son-in-law, you worry too much. Each of us has slightly different supporting medicines, ordinary people wouldn't know the key unless betrayed by someone close."

I put down my chopsticks and said, "Exactly, who dares to confidently guarantee that there are no traitors among those close to them? Otherwise, why would the City Lord and the Young Master still dismiss those close to them during discussions?"
