Capítulo 220: Business Meeting (6)

"That's right." Rong Jian confirmed her information about the current Heads and the relations of the two families before them. "They probably think their brotherhood was what mended their relationships with each other's families so they're trying to pass this tradition down." 

"But that's not really a good idea." Shen Tianyu sighed. "Things like sworn brotherhood are only effective if both, or all, parties willingly do it. If it's a family requirement, it beceomes more of a shackle than a treasured bond. Even if the current generaton of young masters have no problem with it, future generations will just see it as a chore because they're not doing it out of their own will. It might actually serve to deteriorate relations further by adding one more thing they can blame each other for." She stretched her arms and put them behind her head.
