==History==
===to join or not to join===
LC refuses Shui Wuhen's offer to join the family. He explains the Shui family is so large and questions whether it was possible for everyone to be united without internal struggles. If someone targeted LC what would happen.
Moreover Shui Wuhen was not the family head. If she were, LC might join as she genuinely cares for LC. But since she is not, if one day the Shui family decides that for profit, they may choose to sacrifice LC.
Still Shui was touched when Long Chen called her big sister. It was the first time anyone has treated her genuinely and with trust.
But she also realized that: "Large families were heartless, just like how sects were heartless. In front of profit, everything else was so insignificant. Furthermore, with Long Chen's temperament, if she brought him into her family, then although he might bring some benefits, he would very likely bring trouble with him."
===family head===
In truth, the Shui family's inner organization was rather complicated. Other than the head of the family Shui Yuncong, there were three late Sea Expansion experts, and Shui Wuhen was one of them. The future family head was supposed to arise from these three people.
But Shui Wuhen had no interest in becoming the family head. As for the other two, their power spheres were extremely large, and they fought intensely.
Both of them had tried to pull Shui Wuhen to their side. But Shui Wuhen loathed that kind of struggle.
She decided to separate herself from the Shui family, distancing herself from their struggle. She went to the 36th Xuantian Supermonastery and quietly acted as a monastery head.
She hadn't expected that leaving would end up offending both sides. Now, one of them had finally become the winner. That was because a rank two Celestial had been born amongst his descendants.
That was a form of absolute power, and the struggle was immediately settled. As for Shui Wuhen, because she had refused to join hands with him, she was constantly rejected during these few years.
This was a reprimand, as well as a display of power. As for the current family head, he had long since viewed this as normal. If a family wanted to flourish, then at times when there was no outer battle, inner battles were a way to increase strength. Of course, that was on the precondition that the leader controlled the scope of the inner struggle properly and didn't let it overturn the entire boat.
So those who could manage the position of the family head were all wily old foxes. Only such people could keep control of the overall situation and allow the family to steadily advance.
Whether inner struggle would benefit the family was all up to the family head. How much it would benefit would be up to their control. It was a reflection of their wisdom.
This was the ‘essence' left behind by generation after generation of the Righteous path. Practically all large families were the same. This was for the continued inheritance and prosperity of the family. Of course, some people felt this manner was inappropriate. The slightest mistake might cause the entire family to fracture. But they were also unable to find a better method.
Large families were like this, and sects were also like this. The inner competition was for the sake of development and raising total combat strength.
