The Herbal Scents of Farm Life

Chapter 3316 - 3317: Self-Reliance

"Moreover, even if we find the babies now, which one belongs to which family? Not to mention us, they themselves might not even be able to tell! Instead of letting them randomly pick a child to raise, just to possibly beat and scold them in the future, wouldn’t it have been better not to bring those children back at all?

Furthermore, do you think those families would be willing to raise a child unrelated to them?

Our Ghost Clan is different from the other two clans; they’d rather have their own children die than raise someone else’s. This is the nature of the Ghost Clan, Ming, do you understand?"

Lord Ming: "..."

Is this really something the Ghost Emperor should be saying?

If the citizens of the Ghost Clan heard this, wouldn’t they be shouting and dragging him down from the Ghost Emperor’s throne?

Could he still sit securely on the throne he once dreamed of?

Of course, the person sitting before him wouldn’t be in this position for much longer. Once those children are found, it will be his turn. By then, he certainly won’t be as soft-hearted as before!

"Even if we don’t know which child belongs to which family, if they can be found, they are still children of our Ghost Clan! Ghost Emperor, do you know what a thousand Ghost Clan children mean to the Ghost Clan?

They represent the future of our Ghost Clan! If they can be found, regardless of whether those families want them or not, even if they don’t, what of it, I am willing to fund and build a sanctuary to raise these children until they can stand on their own."

He said to the Ghost Emperor.

"You—"

The Ghost Emperor was nearly infuriated by Lord Ming.

Is this a deliberate act of opposition?

He had gone through much effort to capture those children, and now Gui Ming wanted to use them to further his standing in the eyes of the public with a better image?

Ha, he can dream, but he’ll need my consent, won’t he?

"Forget it, forget it, I’m too lazy to explain it to you. I just want to tell you, Ming, this matter is not as simple as you think."

He couldn’t be bothered to explain further; after all, Gui Ming couldn’t possibly reclaim those children, he had bigger plans for those little ones, and he certainly wouldn’t give Gui Ming the chance.

"I have other business to attend to here, you should return for now."

He said to Lord Ming, pretending to lower his head and deal with official matters.

Lord Ming looked at his facade and sighed inwardly. When did this brother change so drastically?

"Ghost Emperor, besides this issue, there are other matters I wanted to discuss with you."

Of course, he couldn’t leave so quickly; he needed to buy Sui Zimo and Lin Caisang more time to find those children.

Upon hearing this, the Ghost Emperor rolled his eyes quietly, took a deep breath, and looked up at him.

"What other matters?" he asked.

He knew all those trivial matters within the Ghost Clan as clear as day.

But those things are really just trifles, he couldn’t even bother to handle them.

If the people of the Ghost Clan couldn’t even manage those things and had to trouble him as the Ghost Emperor to step in, what useful purpose do these citizens serve?

"There’s also what’s happening in Ru City..."

...

Beneath the Ghost Emperor’s sleeping chamber.

After walking a long distance, Sui Zimo and Lin Caisang finally reached a large secret chamber.

"Oh my God!"

Looking at the ground, scattered with countless infants and hearing the cries and wails.
