Chapter 404
byHuo Xingchen clearly didn’t think highly of Yang Kai at all.
Hearing what he said, Qiu Yimeng frowned and didn’t refute.
This time she will assist Yang Kai in the succession battle, and she is also taking a great risk. Although she can’t see what hole cards and hidden powers Yang Kai has, vaguely, she still has a premonition that this man must never be underestimated.
Just a feeling！
Qiuyi Meng had no idea whether Yang Kai could win the battle for the throne or even survive the danger tonight.
“Forget it, I’m too lazy to talk to you.” Huo Xingchen showed an impatient look, shook his head and waved his hand and said, “I’m going to sleep and get enough energy to enjoy the good show tonight, hehe.”
“Go ahead as you please.” Yang Kai didn’t mean to greet him either.
The mansion was very large. After all, it might become a place where many forces gathered, so there were countless empty rooms. Huo Xingchen randomly found a room and got in, then disappeared.
“What are you going to do？” After Huo Xingchen left, Qiuyi Meng looked at Yang Kai helplessly and asked in a low voice.
The attitude of this only descendant of the Huo family also made Qiuyi Meng understand something. This Mr. Zhongdu Wolf was probably here to sightsee and had no intention of doing anything for Yang Kai at all.
That is to say, although on the surface it seemed that Yang Kai already had two descendants of the eight great families as allies, in fact he couldn’t even produce decent strength.
He only had two blood servants, who were still seriously injured and looked weak, unable to even exert 30% of their usual strength.
“The people of my Qiuyu Hall can be mobilized by you at will, but don’t expect them to be of much use.” Qiu Yimeng’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said with a bitter smile, “Although today is the first day of the battle for the throne, if you rely on these two blood servants, I’m afraid you will be disappointed. The strength gathered by your brothers now is enough to delay or even defeat them, and it won’t be difficult to capture you either.”
“I know.” Yang Kai nodded, his expression calm.
“What about the Dong family?” Qiu Yimeng pondered for a moment, and there was a hint of a faint anxiety in her voice. “Isn’t it the Dong family your mother’s natal family? Why didn’t they show up this time? Could it be that they don’t care about you anymore either?
At this time, if there was the strength of a first-class family as assistance, the situation might not be so worrying.
“They will come.” Yang Kai grinned, and his smile was strange. “Just not today！”
“What do you mean？” Qiu Yimeng was stunned. From Yang Kai’s smile, she smelled a hint of conspiracy, but as smart as she was, she still didn’t know what Yang Kai was up to.
“You can do as you please too. Don’t worry about today’s matter for the time being. Just let the soldiers come and block, and the water come and cover.” Yang Kai said casually, and then led Qu Gaoyi and Ying Jiu towards the inside.
“You this person…” Qiu Yimeng chased after a few steps, but saw Yang Kai striding forward without even looking back. She couldn’t help but be a little angry, stomping her foot resentfully and grinding her teeth in hatred.
She was now more certain that Yang Kai had a backup plan, but this man simply wouldn’t explain it clearly to her, which made Qiu Yimeng feel a sense of discouragement.
Every time she faced Yang Kai, she was led by the nose. She couldn’t gain any advantage at all, nor could she figure out what this man was thinking and what he would do next.
Slippery like an eel！ Qiu Yimeng cursed in her heart.
Standing there indignantly and thinking for a while, Qiu Yimeng snorted softly and turned around to arrange the defense of the Qiuyu Hall she brought. Although there were not many experts in the Qiuyu Hall, it was still possible to do some tricks and set up some traps around the mansion.
Zhan City, Hongyuan Restaurant.
The restaurant was bustling with activity, with a constant stream of customers, and the waiters were so busy that they were dizzy and disoriented.
Before the battle for the succession began, many people had already gathered in Zhan City. This was the battlefield for the Yang family’s battle for the succession, so naturally, some people had been waiting here early, waiting for the arrival of the sons of the Yang family.
At a table by the window, a slightly plump young man of about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old was leisurely drinking fine wine and savoring delicious food.
Beside him, on either side, sat an old man with a wizened appearance and seemingly dim eyes and ears. The two old men were ordinary and Youdaoplaceholder0 squinting as if asleep but the two pairs of eyes are hidden beneath their eyelids were constantly observing the guests coming and going in the restaurant.
The restaurant was filled with continuous shouts and the guests who were drinking and having a good time were all talking about what had happened outside the South Gate today.
The two elders and the young man listened to these words. After a long while, one of the old men said, “Young Master, judging from this, Young Master Kai’s future is worrying.”
With only Huo Xingchen as his helper and unable to mobilize any power of the Huo family, Yang Kai is almost without any support.
“Indeed.” The other old man also nodded slightly. “Shouldn’t we go to his mansion to help now？”
“I really want to go.” The slightly plump young man pouted, looking depressed. “But this kid sent a message to me two days ago, telling me not to interfere today and just wait and see what happens.”
“Not interfere？” The old man who had spoken earlier was puzzled. “But if Young Master Kai has no strength to defend, how can he cope with the impending crisis？ Our Dong family has an alliance with Fourth Master, and you, Young Master, are cousins with Young Master Kai. Now that he is in trouble, we should be duty-bound to help.”
This young man was actually Dong Qinghan of the Dong Family, and those two old men were the Wind and Cloud Twin Guards who had always followed by his side.
Dong Qinghan shook his head repeatedly： “Who knows what this brat is up to？ I also heard that his two Blood Servants are seriously injured and haven’t recovered, and simply can’t display much strength. Originally, I wanted to rush over to help at the first moment, but since he said so, I can only wait.”
The Wind Guard nodded slightly: “The Blood Servants of the Yang Family are all powerhouses. The two Blood Servants beside Young Master Kai, the two of us have also dealt with them before and deeply understand their powerful points！”
Dong Qinghan suddenly became interested and asked with a smile： “If you were to have a life-and-death battle with them, what would the result be？”
The expressions of the Wind and Cloud Twin Guards were solemn: “Our cultivation levels are one level lower than theirs. If they were at their full strength, as long as one of them cast the Tyrant Blood, they could kill us effortlessly. But now… the two of us are confident that we can easily defeat them.”
Dong Qinghan took a deep breath, his face showing horror, and nodded: The Yang Family really has some tricks. This Tyrant Blood madness is so powerful, who can withstand its sharpness?
The Wind Guard said solemnly: Although the Tyrant Blood is powerful, it is burning combat power by overdrawing a person’s vitality. Therefore the Blood Servants of the Yang Family generally don’t live long. This is also the sorrow of the powerhouses in the Blood Servant Hall of the Yang Family.”
The Cloud Guard also nodded, looking deeply approving.
“Forget it, let’s not talk about this for now. Since that kid asked me not to interfere, he must have some arrangements. We’ll just wait for a day and go to his residence tomorrow to find out the truth.” Dong Qinghan said casually, as if he wasn’t worried at all whether Yang Kai could survive tonight.
The two Wind and Cloud Guards were amazed in their hearts. They didn’t know what exactly that Young Master Kai had said in the message to their own young master to make their young master so confident.
In another restaurant, on the third floor.
There was also a young man about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. He was quite handsome and charming. At this moment, like Dong Qinghan, he was also tasting wine and eating dishes. However, unlike Dong Qinghan’s helplessness, this young man had a smile on his face, and a sense of joy when people encounter happy events welled up spontaneously.
“Young Master, the master said to send some things to that Yang Kai to calm the matter. Now that he has arrived in the Battle City, do you think we should go and pay him a visit now?” The expert who came along as a guard whispered and suggested.
Upon hearing this, the young man smiled and said, “Why should we go? Don’t you hear that everyone in the restaurant says that that Yang Kai will probably be out tonight? Although the things I, Lu Song, brought this time are not priceless, they are not ordinary items either. If we send them to him now, and he can’t even warm them up, wouldn’t it be like throwing a meat bun to a dog, with no effect at all?
“Then what does the young master mean…” Although the expert felt that something was not quite right, he could only ask.
The young master in front of them was the heir to the next head of the Lu family and the son of Lu Liang. This time, he received an order from Lu Liang and brought a lot of gifts to Zhongdu to calm the matter of the ambush on Yang Kai’s way after he left the Lu family last time.
Although that incident had nothing to do with the Lu family, and later it was even rumored that many young masters of the Yang family were assassinated on their way back, Lu Liang still had to swallow his pride and admit defeat. Who made Yang Kai rest in his Lu family for a few days？
It was just an unexpected disaster！ As a big family, which one didn’t have some unsatisfactory things？
After Qiu Yimeng sent the news, Lu Liang asked his son to set off overnight and rush to Zhongdu to apologize.
The young man Lu Song snorted coldly： “This Yang Kai is a bit too much！ Just because he passed by our Lu family and was attacked later, he took the opportunity to blackmail and seek the property of our Lu family！ You say, how can the things of our Lu family be taken advantage of by such a villain？”
“What the young master said is very true.” The expert also followed suit and said indignantly： “This young master of the Yang family really didn’t act in a proper way. Even more despicable is that he actually asked Miss Qiu to send a letter to our Lu family, clearly trying to extort money from our Lu family. It’s really despicable.”
“So, I won’t give the things to him. He’s just like a grasshopper after autumn now, and won’t be able to hop around for a few hours. Hehe, we just need to wait and watch the good show tonight.” Lv Song laughed complacently. “Once he loses, I don’t have to apologize to him anymore.”
The expert furrowed his brows and said softly, “But Young Master, before we set off, the master clearly said that no matter how this Young Master Kai performs in the fight for the throne, these gifts must be delivered to his hands.”
Lv Liang knew very well that his son was somewhat short-sighted, so he repeatedly told the experts to supervise.
Upon hearing this, Lv Song also furrowed his brows and couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard he thought.
Naturally, he didn’t know that at the same time as the news of Yang Kai being attacked on the way reached the Lv family, the number one person in the Lv family, Lv Si, also returned from Cloud Hidden Peak.
