"Husband, do you really intend to accept their request?"
Once they were alone in the hall, Tang Qiu Yao asked.
Ling Changqing smiled. "Why turn down a gift horse? With our current strength, what could they possibly do even if it is a trap?"
Ling Qiyue smiled faintly. "My husband is right. The family was bound to take this step sooner or later. A few years ahead of schedule makes little difference."
In the face of absolute power, all schemes and plots are meaningless.
If not for their deficiency in mid- and lower-level personnel, which makes effective governance difficult, the Ling Family could easily seize the territory of three to five sea regions right now.
If the Ling Family were to refuse this juicy prize, the Linsha Sea Region, the Cen Family would simply find another patron. Once that new patron gained such a significant asset and grew in power, they might develop ambitions concerning the Ling Family.
How can one suffer a rival to sleep beside one's bed?
