Chapter 370
by“I understand.” Yang Kai’s heart trembled when he saw how serious she was. He secretly thought that fortunately he hadn’t rashly absorbed it just now.
After explaining the pros and cons, Tang Yuxian handed the small piece of jade back to Yang Kai and said, “Young master, keep this well and don’t let others know. Otherwise, it may arouse the covetousness of powerful people.”
“Okay.” Yang Kai nodded. With the Black Book Space, it was still very convenient to hide something.
Tu Feng grinned and smiled silently and strangely： “It seems that the Lu family has suffered a big loss this time.”
No matter what price Yang Kai paid to exchange the Yang Crystal Jade Bed from Lu Si, it now seems that Yang Kai has taken a huge advantage.
Tang Yuxian also pursed her lips and smiled charmingly： “They probably didn’t expect that there would be a True Spirit in it.”
The True Spirit has already initially developed intelligence and can deceive the spiritual sense detection of most experts. Before, it was still hiding in the Yang Crystal Jade Bed. I’m afraid even Lu Si didn’t notice it. Otherwise, he would never have given it to Yang Kai.
“Hmph, the Lu family is rather short-sighted. They actually dare to monitor the young master’s movements. Such people are not worthy of courting! Tu Feng snorted softly. “Both Rain Immortal and I have recovered from our injuries. When do you want to leave here, young master?
“Let’s leave tomorrow.” He hadn’t originally planned to stay in the Lu family for long. It was just that in the previous few days, he had to wait for the two blood servants to heal their injuries, and in these few days, he had to absorb the energy in the Yang Jade, so he had to delay the journey.
After being away from home for so many years, he couldn’t wait to go back and see his parents.
“Alright, then I’ll go and inform Miss Qiu. She seemed to say before that she wanted to go with us.” Tang Yuxian nodded.
The news that Yang Kai was going to leave the Lu family spread quickly.
Lv Liang and the others actually had a faintly relieved feeling. For some reason, as long as Yang Kai was here for a day, they would feel uncomfortable all over for a day, as if they were afraid that other young masters of the Yang family would know that their Lu family had had contact with Yang Kai.
That night, Lv Liang held a banquet again to entertain Yang Kai, Qiu Yimeng and others.
At the banquet, everyone only talked about romantic affairs and beautiful women, and kept silent about the succession battle of the Yang family and the future situation in Zhongdu.
Qiu Yimeng watched coldly. She knew that the Lu family was completely not optimistic about Yang Kai anymore, but she didn’t say much either. Just like last time, she ate a little and then left the table early.
Yang Kai himself, however, ate heartily. He didn’t mention anything about trying to win over the Lu family at all. He drank wine, ate meat, and savored the fruits and delicacies. His inaction made Lu Liang and the others couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
They were really afraid that at the last moment, he would bring up something. If that were the case, Lu Liang didn’t know how to answer.
The wine was the same, but unlike a few days ago when they welcomed Yang Kai and the others and entertained them, the attitudes of the various members of the Lu family had subtly changed without notice.
After the wine was finished and the people dispersed, they each returned to their rooms to rest.
The next day, a group of high-ranking members of the Lu family, led by Lu Liang, saw off Yang Kai and Qiu Yimeng at the main entrance.
Lu Liang had a sincere expression on his face. Looking at Yang Kai, he said, “Young Master Yang, the journey to Zhongdu is full of intrigues and changes. You must not take the battle for the throne lightly.”
Yang Kai nodded lightly.
Lu Liang smiled and said, “It’s rare for Young Master Yang to come to the Lu family. I, Lu, have nothing to offer. So I’ll send some silver taels to express my feelings. I hope Young Master Yang won’t.
As he said this, he smiled and gestured to a person beside him.
That person quickly stepped forward, holding a box of banknotes and presenting them with both hands.
Tu Feng and Tang Yuxian’s expressions darkened slightly, and they were both a little unhappy. With cold expressions, they looked at Yang Kai, waiting for his instructions.
Yang Kai didn’t take it seriously at all. He chuckled and said, “Since Master Lü is so kind-hearted, this young master will not be too polite to decline！ Tu Feng, take it.”
“Yes！” Tu Feng nodded slightly and then took the box of banknotes.
“The Lü family wishes Young Master Yang a victorious start in the battle for the throne and immediate success！” Lü Liang gently clasped his fists and said a few polite words.
Yang Kai laughed heartily and said, “Then I’ll borrow Master Lü’s good words. Farewell！”
As he spoke, he turned over and got on the Ta Yun Ju and left first. Tu Feng and Tang Yuxian snorted softly and also followed closely behind Yang Kai.
Qiu Yimeng and Luo Xiaoman were also riding on the Ta Yun Ju prepared for them by the Lü family. After walking a few steps, Qiu Yimeng paused and said softly, “Lü Liang, I’m afraid you miscalculated this time！”
Lü Liang’s expression changed slightly. Just as he was about to speak, Qiu Yimeng had already driven the Ta Yun Ju and galloped away like the wind.
The expressions of a group of people from the Lü family behind were not very good.
“Miscalculated?” Lu Liang frowned, savoring the last sentence Qiu Yimeng left when she left. Her meaning was very obvious clearly blaming Lu Liang for looking down on Yang Kai like this.
But… even if you are the eldest daughter of the Qiu family, you are still just a young person, and a woman at that！ In terms of vision and strategy, how can you compare with this old man？
Although Lü Liang was a little uncomfortable in his heart, he didn’t take Qiu Yimeng’s words to heart at all.
Then let time prove whether I have miscalculated or not！
……
Five Cloud-Treading Colts were galloping forward at high speed, and Qiu Yimeng and Luo Xiaoman gradually caught up from behind.
After leaving the Lu family, Tu Feng and Tang Yuxian had been looking gloomy, and they felt quite indignant for Yang Kai.
When leaving finally, although Lu Liang seemed sincere in his words and had a generous attitude, in fact, what he was thinking in his heart, all the people present understood clearly.
If the Lu family really intended to befriend Yang Kai, at that critical moment, it would be impossible to just offer some money and be done with it！
What does the battle for the throne rely on？ It relies on the communication, personal connections, and means of each young master.
Specifically speaking, it relies on talents and materials！
If the Lu family really wants to participate in the battle for the throne and also stand on Yang Kai’s side, at the very least, they would offer some talents, some precious treasures of heaven and earth, divine weapons and sharp tools, martial arts manuals and secret books, and so on.
Just giving some silver is what kind of meaning？ In this world, sometimes, having money doesn’t necessarily mean being able to buy things, especially good things, which can’t be solved by money alone.
Although Tu Feng and Tang Yuxian hadn’t been by Yang Kai’s side for a long time, they also saw that Yang Kai had extraordinary qualifications and profound cultivation.
Regarding Yang Kai’s future, both of them were equally full of confidence.
The Lu family treated Yang Kai so lightly, and it would be strange if the hearts of the two Blood Servants could be comfortable.
It’s just that they couldn’t figure it out… Since the Lu family didn’t plan to side with Yang Kai, why did they give him silver taels to show goodwill in the end？ This undoubtedly gives people a feeling that I want to befriend you, but I won’t bet the family on you either, being two-faced and trying to please everyone everywhere.
Only Yang Kai knew that Lu Liang gave him some silver taels because he knew Xiao Fusheng. If it weren’t for the reason of Xiao Fusheng, Lu Liang might not have given anything at the last moment.
As if perceived the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the two blood attendants, Qiu Yimeng rolled her eyes and said, If you have something to say, just say it. What are you holding back for?
Tu Feng pouted and said angrily, “Well, I’ll say it then. Miss Qiu, you just let it in one ear and out the other, and pretend you didn’t hear.”
“Hmm, you say it, I also want to hear！”
“Little Young Master！” Tu Feng shouted loudly, “I took a look. The banknotes Lu Liang gave are neither more nor less, exactly three million taels. Isn’t he too stingy？”
“Then how much do you want？” Yang Kai turned around and looked at him, dumbfounded and smiling.
“His Lu family is at least a first-class family. What does it mean to only give three million taels？ Buying a few bottles of better pills and this money will be gone. Buying a few better secret treasures, this money will also be gone. At least ten million taels should be given to be in line with the identity of the Lu family and also have some substance.”
“That’s right, too stingy！” Tang Yuxian also nodded in deep agreement.
“Three million taels is already a lot.” Yang Kai smiled. “Don’t be afraid of laughing at me. This young master doesn’t have a single cent on him now. These three million taels will be of great use to me.”
“Although this amount of money seems like a lot, when it comes to the battle for the throne, money is basically useless.” Tu Feng said indignantly. “Lv Liang clearly knows this, yet he still did this. If it weren’t for the fact that his Lv family has some relationship with Miss Qiu’s family, I would definitely beat him up and then stuff that banknote into his mouth and make him eat it！”
Qiu Yimeng shook her head and smiled bitterly. “Lv Liang was indeed overly cautious this time. However… it doesn’t seem to be all his fault. It’s because your young master acted too much！”
“What do you mean? Why is it blamed on the young master?” Tang Yuxian was very surprised.
“You ask him yourself. He knows very well how he behaved in the Lv family these days.” Qiu Yimeng said as she urged the Cloud-Treading Colt to hurry a few steps and came to Yang Kai’s side, turning her head to look at him. “You guy, do you know what the current situation is? Why are you still so casual letting the Lv family, this helper slip away from your eyes?
Yang Kai glanced at her and then retracted his gaze.
“I’m talking to you！” Qiu Yimeng was suddenly angry and bitter. “The one you let go is not only an ally, but also an enemy who will be added to yourself. Don’t you understand? The gap between the two is huge.”
“Ally？” Yang Kai sneered. “Those who only want to get involved in interests with me are not qualified to be my allies！”
“But where is there an alliance without an interest relationship nowadays？ Isn’t your idea too naive？”
“I’m too lazy to talk to you. I don’t need others to evaluate what I do！”
Qiu Yimeng was so choked that she rolled her eyes. In anger, she blurted out： “Just you wait. This young lady will definitely team up with other Young Masters of the Yang Family to suppress your arrogance when I go back this time！”
Tu Feng and Tang Yuxian were suddenly shocked and quickly said： “Miss Qiu, you can’t talk nonsense like this.”
Yang Kai, however, sneered again and again： “You can give it a try. Don’t blame me for making your Qiu Family disappear from the Middle Capital then！”
Qiu Yimeng’s expression froze, and she looked at Yang Kai stupidly, seemingly not expecting that he could say such a cruel thing.”
Even Tu Feng and Tang Yuxian were extremely astonished. In their hearts, they felt that Yang Kai was really a bit too arrogant and excessive to say such big words, and it was really hurtful.”
Just when they were worried and wanted to open their mouths to say a few good words for Yang Kai and comfort Qiu Yimeng, unexpectedly, Qiu Yimeng quickly came back to her senses. Not only did she not take it to heart, but instead, she looked at Yang Kai with a smile, and there was a strange light in her beautiful eyes. She said: Yang Kai, tell me honestly, apart from that girl, how many connections do you have that can be used and how many forces can you win?
Yang Kai said so arrogantly, and Qiu Yimeng immediately realized something, so she showed such interest.”
Glancing at her, Yang Kai sneered and said indifferently, “No, I’m just all alone！”
“If I believe you, I’m a pig！” Qiu Yimeng sneered.
