Chapter 572

Understanding the implied meaning of Yang Yinghao’s words, the other seven people also immediately fell into deep thought.

“Then we’ll take our leave.” Yang Yinghao said as he stood up. The other seven people also got up one after another, looked at Yang Kai with complicated expressions, all shook their heads and sighed, and slowly walked out.

This meeting with Yang Kai had dealt them a heavy blow.

“Uncle.” Yang Kai suddenly called out again. “How are my father and mother？”

“You don’t have to worry about the fourth brother and his wife. Even if the Yang family is destroyed, I won’t let anything happen to them.”

Yang Kai’s expression moved slightly, and he said seriously： “Thank you, Uncle.”

“We’re family.” Yang Yinghao nodded slightly.

The eight people left the side hall. In the corridor, they met Qiu Yimeng and Huo Xingchen. It could be seen that these two young masters and ladies from the eight great families were waiting here on purpose.

“Greetings to all uncles.” Qiu Yimeng curtsied gracefully. The etiquette and upbringing of a great family were quite remarkable.

On the contrary, Huo Xingchen had a slovenly expression, which made Old Man Huo Zheng’s eyes blaze with anger.

Probably in the entire Central Capital, only Huo Xingchen was the least like a young master from a superpower.

“Come here, I have something to say to you.” Huo Zheng shouted at Huo Xingchen in a low voice.

Huo Xingchen grinned and obediently followed Huo Zheng to the side.

On the other side, Qiu Shoucheng looked at Qiu Yimeng with a difficult expression. It took him a long time to say： “Meng’er, your vision is farther than mine！”

Before the fight for the throne began, Qiu Yimeng strongly advocated that the Qiu family form an alliance with Yang Kai, while Qiu Shoucheng and Qiu Ziruo chose Yang Shen, the sixth son of the Yang family.

Facts have proved that Qiu Yimeng’s choice was correct.

In the fight for the throne, Yang Kai rose suddenly, from having nothing to be above all.

In the later stage of the fight for the throne, Qiu Shoucheng issued an order to recall Qiu Yimeng and the people of Qiuyu Hall, not wanting her to have anything to do with Yang Kai anymore.

But the facts also proved that firmly standing on the same front as Yang Kai brought greater benefits than the combined efforts of the eight great families.

Now, Zhongdu is facing both internal and external troubles. Qiu Yimeng still stays in Yang Kai’s mansion and is Yang Kai’s right-hand man. Qiu Shoucheng not only can’t have the idea of objecting, but also secretly rejoices.

Youdaoplaceholder0 that Qiu Yimeng made the move of always following Yang Kai back then. Even going so far as to defy himself and violate his order.

His own daughter indeed saw farther than himself. Qiu Shoucheng couldn’t help but give birth to a sense of decadence as if he was in his declining years.

“Daddy!” There were some crystle-clear lights flashing in Qiu Yimeng’s beautiful eyes. This was the first time she heard Qiu Shoucheng praise herself so unreservedly.”

From childhood to adulthood, no matter how excellent she performed. Qiu Shoucheng never praised her, only to cultivating Qiu Ziruo into the future successor of the Qiu family.

Even sometimes, when Qiu Yimeng performed too outstandingly, Qiu Shoucheng would show a regretful expression.

Regretting that she was not a man.

This time, she heard the unsparing praise that came out of Qiu Shoucheng’s mouth.

Qiu Yimeng suddenly had a feeling of relief and bitterness.

“Father is old. In the future, the Qiu family will probably require you to worry more.” Qiu Shoucheng gently sighed.

Qiu Yimeng’s beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and she bit her lower lip and said, “Father, you are still young.”

“Not young anymore.” Qiu Shoucheng chuckled, turned his head and looked at the others and said, “They are all old.”

Kang Rui, Meng Xiping and the others couldn’t help but curl their lips.

On the other side, Huo Zheng and Huo Xingchen father and son were whispering to each other, and no one knew what they were talking about. After a long while, Huo Zheng let out a heavy sigh.

“Old man.” Huo Xingchen had a mischievous look, hooking shoulders with Huo Zheng and said earnestly, “You should step down and give way to the virtuous, and enjoy the good life. If you have nothing to do, don’t run around on the battlefield. Find a few more concubines and give birth to a younger brother for me. I have so many sisters, and in the future, the dowry will probably become a burden on the Huo family！”

“Bastard!” Huo Zheng reached out and knocked on Huo Xingchen, angrily shouted, “Is there such a way to talk to your father?”

Huo Xingchen rubbed his head, not caring at all. He chuckled and said, “I’m doing this for your own good. What if you die on the battlefield? Then the Huo Family will really have only me as the sole heir. You’re still in good health at the moment. Has your performance in bed not declined? Do you want me to teach you some tricks?”

“Scram, you unfilial son！” Huo Zheng was furious.

Huo Xingchen suddenly put away his playful expression and said seriously, “Old man, perhaps I’m not suitable to take charge of the Huo Family, but I believe in Yang Kai. You should think about it carefully. This will do no harm to the future development of our Huo Family.”

Huo Zheng looked at him with a gloomy face and snorted, “Just you? You don’t have that many tricks up your sleeve to see through the current situation. Who gave you advice?”

“Qiu Yimeng said it.” Huo Xingchen grinned.

“I knew it. This little girl is smarter than any of you.” Huo Zheng took a look at Qiu Yimeng and thought to himself that among his many daughters, why was there none who could compare to Qiu Yimeng？

Qiu Shoucheng, that old bastard, has only one daughter, but she is so smart and quick-witted that she can see the crux of the problem at a glance.

Yang Kai is not willing to cooperate with the eight great families in Zhongdu because he doesn’t want to give up the power he holds in his hands. Naturally, the heads of the eight great families will not humbly seek refuge with him.

If they really did that, wouldn’t the eight great families become a laughingstock？ What’s more, the heads of the eight great families in this generation have also done bad things to Yang Kai.

But if a new head of the family is appointed, then there will be no problem. Especially among the younger generation in Zhongdu, many people have some friendship and have dealt with Yang Kai.

For example, Huo Xingchen and Qiu Yimeng. Once the Huo family and the Qiu family are controlled by these two people, they can cooperate with Yang Kai openly and aboveboard.

Although the others have no friendship with Yang Kai, everyone is young. Young people don’t have so many twists and turns, and everything can be discussed.

It seems like a child’s play, but now it has also become the general trend. Unless the eight great families don’t want to use the strength of Yang Kai’s mansion.

The heads of the eight great families left with a heavy expression. Qiu Yimeng and Huo Xingchen sent them outside the mansion.

Everything calmed down again.

Since Yang Kai’s mansion suddenly appeared, the people in the Cangyun Evil Land have been extremely honest. Naturally, the people of the eight great families will not take the initiative to ask for a battle. Although Yang Kai really wants to find someone to kill, he has never found an opportunity and can only give up and practice dual cultivation with Su Yan in the mansion.

Although the progress of strength is not fast, it is solid and steady, which is of great benefit for the future.

The various forces that have defected to Yang Kai’s mansion are even more content with the status quo. They came to the rescue Zhongdu, but everyone doesn’t want to have any conflict with the people in the Cangyun Evil Land. Naturally, it would be best to live peacefully.

A few days later, the heads of the eight great families suddenly visited Yang Kai’s mansion again and brought some news that satisfied him.

Qiu Shoucheng passed the position of the family head to Qiu Yimeng, the eldest daughter of the Qiu family, and ordered her to set off on that day and go to the temporary residence of the Qiu family to prepare for the matters of the succession ceremony.

At the same time, Huo Zheng also wanted to pass the position of the family head to Huo Xingchen.

Meng Xiping passed the position of the family head to Meng Shanyi.

Liu Chuquan passed the position of the family head to Liu Qingyao.

Kang Rui passed the position of the family head to Kang Jian.

Gao Mo passed the position of the family head to Gao Rangxian.

Ye Kuangren passed the position of the family head to Ye Jingli.

The positions of the family heads of the seven families all changed hands.

Among them, Meng Shanyi and Liu Qingyao were old acquaintances of Yang Kai.

Kang Jian, Gao Rangxian, and Ye Jingli, Yang Kai didn’t know, but they should also be the outstanding figures of the younger generation of these three families.

Although the chaos in Zhongdu had not been quelled and the Cangyun Evil Land was still eyeing covetously in the north, the succession of the family head was a big deal for any of the eight families so the eight families were not going to be perfunctory. Of course, it was also impossible to be too grand, and could only be handled within the allowable extent.

This was a scene that had never appeared in the previous records. The superpowers collectively changed their family heads, and they were all disciples of the younger generation.

Forced by the situation, the superfamilies in Zhongdu could only do this.

Once these young disciples took over the position of the family head, then the superfamilies in Zhongdu would all gather under Yang Kai’s command and completely become a unified whole.

What about the Yang family？ Who will be the head of the family？” Yang Kai asked, looking at Yang Yinghao after listening to the words of the seven people.”

Yang Yinghao smiled slightly： “Who else do you think is qualified for this position except you？”

The other seven people nodded in deep agreement.

They were forced to pass on the position of head of the family to the next generation in order to form an alliance with the Yang Kai Mansion. If Yang Kai did not take over the position of head of the Yang family, then the relationship between them would not seem so reliable.

Yang Kai slowly shook his head： “I will not be the head of the Yang family. Uncle, I should have told you this when the succession battle started.”

“Are you serious？” Yang Yinghao was surprised. He did hear Yang Kai say this. He participated in the succession battle only to prove the name of the sect and had no intention of coveting the position of head of the family. But Yang Yinghao always thought he was just talking, and he didn’t expect that he really didn’t want to be the master of the Yang family.

With his current cultivation strength and the power in his hands, as long as he nodded, I’m afraid no one in the Yang family would have any objections.

“Of course I’m serious.” Yang Kai’s expression was serious. “The position of head of the family is laborious and I won’t do it.”

“But the power you hold now is even stronger than that of the Yang family. Your position is not the head of the family, but it is better than the head of the family.”

“When this crisis is over, those people will naturally go back to where they came from. But being the head of the Yang family is a lifetime thing. I’m not stupid. How could I be confined here by the Yang family？” Yang Kai thought for a while and then recommended, “You can let eldest brother or second brother be the head of the family. Especially second brother, I think he must be very happy to do it.”

“Yang Zhao would indeed be happy and he also has the ability, provided that you don’t exist！” Yang Yinghao shook his head and said, “Your light is too bright. Since there is you in the Yang family, it is impossible for anyone else to be the head of the family. Yang Zhao… was born at the wrong time.”

He also felt a little sorry for his son.

If it weren’t for Yang Kai’s overly outstanding performance, Yang Zhao would definitely be a very good candidate for the head of the family. Even Yang Wei couldn’t compare in this regard. Yang Wei has a lonely personality and is obsessed with cultivation. Such a person is not very suitable to be the head of the family.

“Don’t refuse in a hurry.” Yang Yinghao smiled slightly, “Remember a sentence I once said？”

“What？”

“Being the head of the Yang family is not without any benefits.”

The other seven people immediately turned their eyes to Yang Yinghao. It seemed that they also knew something vaguely and showed envious expressions on their faces.

Yang Kai recalled carefully and nodded. Yang Yinghao had indeed said such a thing to him.
