"Surround the building and stop everyone inside from leaving," the commander ordered his enforcers a few seconds after the members of the Flowing River Sect left.
"I'll advise you to leave the surrounding before the Tanji family's Patriarch makes his decision concerning Mr. Guchun's inscription company," he said to Shung Yun after giving out orders to his subordinates.
"I don't have a choice," Shung Yun said to the commander, "to keep the memory of my mentor alive, I have to his company running."
"Well, it's your choice, kid," the commander said before turning his attention away from Shung Yun.
"Do you really intend to involve yourself in the acquisition of Guchun's company?" Bai Qhan asked his student.
"Of course! That's part of the reason I devised this whole play," Shung Yun thought as he looked at Bai Qhan, he said to him, "that's the lease I can do for him compared to all he did for me."
"You're right. I'll help," Bai Qhan said to Shung Yun before looking at Ming Yi, "I'll try to make up time for you, Yi'er."
"I'm really not trying to steal your dad from you, Ming Yi. We're just trying to help out someone close to us," Shung Yun said as he looked at the doll in Bai Qhan's hand.
",..,"
"Hahaha! Alright. I'll take you around town as a payment for stealing your dad, even if I didn't," Shung Yun laughed as he spoke to the female doll.
Smiling as he looked at the happy expression on Shung Yun's face when speaking to his daughter, Bai Qhan mumbled to himself, "you've found a good big brother, Yi'er."

Nine[9] minutes later in the Tanji Family Ancestral Hall…..
"You're both telling me that I lost my son under the protection of two[2] of the strongest elders in the family?" a middle-stage middle aged man with a goatee asked the two[2] elders in front him.
"Guchun was crazy. He disregarded his life by overtaxing his dantian in order to reuse a powerful artifact," Elder Feng said to the Patriarch as he tried to deflect the blame to Mr. Guchun.
"And you both chose to retain your few lifespans rather than giving it up for the family's future," Mr. Tanji said as he looked at the descendants of his generation.
Keeping silent at the harsh words of their Patriarch, Elder Taizhun and Elder Feng both had ugly expressions on their faces as they endured the reprehending of their superior.
"What's done is done," Mr. Tanji said with his eyes reflecting the images of Elder Taizhun and Elder Feng, "with Guchun dead, his Inscription Company is like a piece of a cake without an owner. I need a volunteer among you lot with enough skill to fish in trouble waters."
Exchanging looks amongst themselves, the elders and senior descendants of the Tanji family contemplated if they should recommend themselves or let the opportunity pass by due to their understanding of themselves.
"I will go," a young voice sounded out after a little more than forty[40] seconds.
"Already trying to prove himself after the death of his senior brother," a senior member present thought as he looked at a middle-stage male youth sitting close to the Patriarch.
"You'll bear the consequences if you fail to bring any profit back," Mr. Tanji said as he looked at his second son, "and the rewards if you bring a profit back."
"I understand," the newly crowned young master of the Tanji family said as he bowed towards his father before leaving the hall.
"You're all dismissed," Mr. Tanji said to his subjects as he waved them out of the ancestral hall.
"I thought I had no hope to succeed father, but it seems like the storm-god hasn't forsaken me," the newly crowned young master of the Tanji family thought as he looked at the part of the sun still uncovered.
Arriving at the location of Mr. Guchun's company, young master Bali of the Tanji family saw a tent with two[2] enforcers standing at the entrance, and a bunch of cultivators gathering a few meters from the entrance.
"Mr. Han, what's going on?" he asked a lower-stage middle aged man standing in the midst of the crowd.
"Mr. Bali," Mr. Han cupped his fists as he greeted the son of the Patriarch of Tanji family before explaining, "a negotiation to determine the future of the company left behind by Mr. Guchun. A teenager claiming to be the heir to Mr. Guchun's fortunes set up the tent to negotiate with the mega powers in the town on how the company will be operated."
"The representatives of the Hyuji Family and the Flowing River Sect agreed to listen to a teenager?" young master Bali was shocked as he instantly asked Mr. Han.
"He has the backing of an upper-stage dantian unsealing realm cultivator. And in order to avoid further destruction on the street, commander Wen also supported the process the male teenager suggested," Mr. Han said as he answered young master Bali's question to the best of his ability.
"Alright. Thanks for the information, Mr. Han," young master Bali said before entering the tent without the interception of the enforcers at the door.
"Welcome, young master Bali. Please, have a seat," Shung Yun got up to his feet before pointing at the right seat beside the one in the middle.
"Senior Yunjie. Young master Danwu," young master Bali greeted the representatives of the other mega powers with his fists cupped as he sat beside Yunjie, a core disciple of the Flowing River Sect.
Replying to the youngest representative among them, the representatives of the Hyuji Family and the Flowing Rivers Sect finally stared seriously at Shung Yun.
"The Flowing River Sect wants all the inscriptions in the ownerless company due to the death of the previous owner, Mr. Guchun," Yunjie said directly at Shung Yun without caring about the presences of young master Danwu and young master Bali.
"The Hyuji Family wants the inscriptions and the building of the ownerless company," young master Danwu spoke out without caring about the words of his competitor.
Although, unable to compare his personal strength with the representatives present, young master Bali knew he wasn't here on his own whim. He has the backing of the entire Tanji Family.
"The Tanji Family wants the inscriptions, the duan pieces, the workers, and the land ownership of this ownerless place," he said with utmost confidence as his demand surpassed those of the other representatives combined.
Having a smile on his face as he heard the demands of the representatives of the mega powers of the town, Shung Yun waved his hand across the table in front of the individuals present in the tent, taking out three[3] documents from his storage ring.
Raising the documents one at a time and showing it to the representatives, he said to them, "the documents with me confirms the ownership of the Guchun's Inscription Company, its building, its land, and every properties and products contained within it. And it's signed by the Judge of the Divine Court as a proof of ownership for Mr. Guchun's company."
"It also states that if Mr. Guchun ever counters harm, his relative with the longest time together with him will receive his properties. But a relative can choose to give it away or sell it if they think they can't maintain it. A relative can either be family or friend," Shung Yun said as he went through the documents in the presence of the representatives, "
Looking at the upper-stage middle aged man sitting beside Shung Yun, Yunjie said, "let me guess. You must be the friend of Mr. Guchun who's in the position to do as you please with a high profile company like Guchun's Inscription Company."
