Chapter 361

The succession battle of the Yang family is about to begin. Those young masters will surely go all out to win over support and gather cronies to help themselves win in the succession battle.

Although Qiu Yimeng didn’t say much when she brought Yang Kai to the Lu family this time, Lu Liang also understood the hint. He knew that what was in front of him might be an opportunity.

Twenty years ago, the Lu family was in decline and lived precariously on this small piece of land. Naturally, they had no intention of participating in the succession battle.

But now, the Lu family has also grown up and is a first-class wealthy family！

People always strive for better, and water always flows downward！ How could the Lu family not want to go a step further？

Since they have already leaned on the Qiu family, if they can also have a good relationship with the Yang family, the future of the Lu family will surely be bright.

However… it’s not that easy to curry favor with the Yang family.

The Yang family is like an ironclad family with a flowing helmsman！

Every time the head of the family changes, it will cause no small turmoil in the situation. Lu Liang has the intention to participate in this succession battle, but he doesn’t know if Yang Kai has the qualification and strength to compete for the succession.

If he blindly ties the Lu family to Yang Kai and Yang Kai fails in the succession battle, maybe the efforts of the Lu family in the past few decades will all be in vain.

Lu Liang has to be cautious, and the senior members of the Lu family also have to keep their eyes open.

The consequences of standing in the wrong team are no joke！ This is related to the future of a family.

Under the intentional or unintentional guidance of the crowd, the topic gradually shifted to the battle for the throne. While reminiscing about the major event twenty years ago, everyone secretly observed Yang Kai’s reaction.

But to their disappointment, Yang Kai didn’t seem interested in these at all. He just had a plain expression, tasted the fruit delicacies while listening quietly. Although he didn’t look very interested, he didn’t show any impatient look either.

For a while, the people of the Lü family didn’t know what he was thinking in his heart.

Slowly, the topic came to the current situation.

Now the young masters of the Yang family haven’t surfaced yet, and no one in the whole world knows what kind of background those young masters who are about to return have.

But there is a genuine young master of the Yang family right in front of them. Naturally, Lu Liang is interested in probing Yang Kai’s connections and confidence.

Seeing that the topic was getting lively and the time was right, just as Lü Liang was about to pretend to ask casually, he saw that Yang Kai had stretched and yawned over there.

Lu Liang couldn’t help but be stunned, and the words that came to his were swallowed back.

“Is the young master tired？” Tang Yuxian asked softly.

Yang Kai said casually： “It’s okay！”

Lü Liang’s eyes flickered, and he laughed hehe, saying： “Since Young Master Yang is tired from the journey, then let’s stop here today. Come here, send Young Master Yang to rest！”

Yang Kai didn’t stand on ceremony either. He slowly stood up and clasped his fists at everyone, saying, “In that case, I’ll take my leave first.”

“Young Master Yang is too polite！” Lu Liang chuckled.

The wine gathering dispersed and the people left. It was not until Yang Kai and his two Blood Servants left that the people of the Lu Family fell into deep thought with strange expressions on their faces.

They all thought that Yang Kai came to the Lu Family to win people over, and the Lu Family was also mentally prepared. Otherwise, everyone wouldn’t have been observing Yang Kai during the banquet just now. Lu Liang was even thinking that if Yang Kai couldn’t hold his breath and went straight to the point, how he should reject him first without losing face and harmony.

After all, he didn’t know anything about Yang Kai now, so naturally he couldn’t rashly agree to become Yang Kai’s assistant.

But unexpectedly, this young master didn’t mention anything and didn’t say anything. He just left like this.

This greatly exceeded everyone’s expectations.

“Patriarch！” A high-ranking member of the Lu Family furrowed his brows and said with a strange expression, “Could it really be just passing by？”

“It shouldn’t be.” Lu Liang pondered for a while and slowly shook his head. “He must have the idea of winning us over. Although he appears very calm, I can feel it.

“Then why didn’t he show it？” That person snorted coldly. “Could it be that he has no confidence？”

Quite a few people also nodded in agreement. If it wasn’t’d because of lack of confidence, why wouldn’t he say anything? At the very least, you should also show your strength and confidence, right?

“If that’s the case, then the Lu family can’t place their hopes on him. We can’t afford to lose both the lady and the soldier in the end.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and their expectations for Yang Kai suddenly diminished a lot.

Lv Liang furrowed his brows, and his slender eyes shone with a brilliant light. He smiled slightly and said, “Why do I always feel that he’s not lacking in confidence, but rather has the intention of carefully testing our Lu family？”

“Huh？” Everyone’s complexion changed. “He’s testing our Lu family？ Does he have the qualifications？”

Even if he’s a young master of the Yang family and can participate in the contest, he’s just a young master after all. Why should he test the Lu family?

Lv Liang chuckled and said, “Have you forgotten? In the contest, not only are we choosing the young masters of the Yang family but they are also choosing us. Do you really think our first-class family is so glorious? Should those young masters come scrambling to win us over and beg us to help them?

Everyone looked embarrassed and laughed awkwardly.

Someone said, “The head of the family is speaking so harshly. We didn’t mean that, right？”

“Yeah, yeah. It’s just that if it’s really as the head of the family said, then this kid is too arrogant and too high and mighty, isn’t he？”

No matter what, the Lu family is still a first-class family. It can provide you with some help. Whether it’s manpower, materials, or various aspects, it’s not too weak. It’s already a blessing to be able to help you. What else is there to test？”

Lv Liang’s expression turned serious, and he said solemnly, “If my guess is correct, then this Young Master Yang… is not simple.”

Everyone thought about it carefully and was all somewhat moved.

Even a first-class family has to consider and deliberate when wanting to become his assistance, which shows that he has a wide network of contacts. In his eyes, the assistance of the Lu family may be dispensable, so he behaved so indifferently and was not at all eager.

If he really wanted to win over the Lu family eagerly at the beginning, that would be a manifestation of lack of confidence.

Thinking through clearly, Lu Liang felt even more that his guess was correct.

Immediately, he said in a low voice： “I don’t know how many days that young master will stay in the Lu family, but in any case, when you see him again, don’t mention the matter of the fight for the throne, and don’t show anything.”

After a moment of thought, he nodded: “I’ll go to Miss Qiu to inquire about the situation.”

The person was brought by her, so she must know something about that young master’s background, right？

Everyone nodded in succession. Among this group of people, Lu Liang’s strength might not be the highest, but his prestige was definitely the highest. It was precisely under his management in recent years that the Lu family has been thriving. His methods and vision for seeing people are obvious to all.

……

In the backyard of the Lu family, in a spacious courtyard.

Yang Kai carried his hands on his back and looked in one direction thoughtfully.

Just as he was lost in thought, Tang Yuxian spoke up: “Little master, why did you behave so listlessly just now? What you did may make them misunderstand. Don’t you want to win over the Lu family to help yourself?

Yang Kai smiled indifferently： “If I said I don’t want to, would you believe it？”

Tang Yuxian pursed her lips with a funny expression and slowly shook her head.

If he really didn’t want to, he wouldn’t have come here with Qiu Yimeng. Qiu Yimeng and Luo Xiaoman came here because they wanted to borrow two Cloud-Treading Colts. Yang Kai could have just gone straight back to the Central Capital.

Since he came, there must be some thoughts.

“Actually, I really don’t want to.” Yang Kai chuckled and slowly shook his head. “Believe it or not！”

Tang Yuxian was suddenly stunned and looked at Yang Kai suspiciously, as if trying to see into his heart. But Yang Kai’s expression was calm, without any trace of lying.

Tu Feng’s expression also moved slightly, and he stared at Yang Kai in surprise.

In this situation, the more helpers he could draw in, the greater the help would be in the future. There was a great opportunity right now. As long as Yang Kai could show the means and strength to make the Lu family convinced, the Lu family would surely lean towards him.

But he actually didn’t have any thoughts？

“I don’t have any friendship with the Lu family. If they help me, it’s just because of the relationship of interests. I don’t like this kind of relationship!” Yang Kai said softly. “Even if we are temporarily tied together, when it really comes to a dangerous time, there is no guarantee that they won’t stab me in the back. What I want is an ally who can still stand firmly by my side no matter how much pressure they bear or in how bad an environment.

Both blood servants stared blankly at Yang Kai, and suddenly felt that this little gentleman in front of them was a bit naive.

People hustle and bustle in the world, coming for profit and going for profit. Without the tie of profit, who would be willing to share joys and sorrows with you？

“Don’t you believe there will be such a person？” Yang Kai grinned and smiled at the two.

Tu Feng and Tang Yuxian couldn’t help but both cough lightly, not knowing how to answer.

“There will be. Just wait and see.”

Tang Yuxian was stunned for a moment, not knowing where Yang Kai got his confidence from, but this attitude touched her a little. She smiled sweetly and said, “Then we’ll wait and see.”

Tu Feng also smiled and said, “But what you did today, Young Master, is not wrong. If you showed the idea of courting, the Lu family would only be perfunctory and not really take a stand. Rather than that, it’s better to say nothing. ”

“Yes.” Yang Kai nodded. “The Lu family wants to know my background. I can see that too. Now, no matter how flowery their words are, it’s just a test. Before the situation is clear, they can’t make a real decision. ”

The situation is naturally not clear now. The young masters of the Yang family don’t know who they are or how many there are.

But if you want to befriend someone, instead of waiting until he is weak to give him what he likes and take a gamble, it will obviously be different if you turn to when he is strong.

Adding flowers to the brocade is never as gratifying as sending charcoal in the snow.

“Let’s not talk about this. I’m not interested in the Lu family, but there is one thing in the Lu family that makes me quite interested. Hehe！” Yang Kai laughed.

“What thing？” Tu Feng and Tang Yuxian both asked curiously.

“Don’t know.” Yang Kai said and then turned around and walked into the room.

The two blood attendants couldn’t help but be stunned.

How could there be such a thing in this world? He was clearly interested, yet he didn’t know what that thing was. How could you be interested in something you didn’t even know what it was?

Seeing Yang Kai walk into the room to rest, Tu Feng and Tang Yuxian both smiled bitterly and increasingly felt that they couldn’t see through this little young master.
