Chapter 585, We Three Are Sisters
βWhy is every Yang Family Patriarch an Above Immortal Ascension Boundary master?β Yang Ying Hao smiled meaningfully, βBecause the Patriarch of the Yang Family is granted a special opportunity only available to one who sits in this position. As long as you accept the Patriarchβs position, you will know what this opportunity is.β
Listening to him, Yang Kaiβs expression didnβt change, on the other hand, the other seven people in the room drew a sharp breath; they had only heard rumor about this secret of the Yang Family, but didnβt know what this so called opportunity was.
βGreat Uncle, is this your way of trying to lure me with benefits?β Yang Kai smiled.
βIt is.β Yang Ying Hao did not deny. He knew Yang Kai was someone who refused to suffer a loss and would only be moved if there was enough profit. He didnβt believe that this Yang Family secret would be unable to move him. .
βCan you tell me a little more?β Yang Kai really was somewhat interested.
Yang Ying Hao smiled and opened his mouth.
Yang Kai expression changed, a pleasantly surprised look appearing on his face.
The other seven Patriarchs all perked up their ears and stared at the silent communication between Yang Kai and Yang Ying Hao; however, they were unable to discern anything that was said, causing their curiosity to only become even stronger.
βI am somewhat tempted by this information, but Great Uncle, I really donβt want to become Patriarch.β Yang Kai wrinkled his brow slightly.
βThe future of the Yang Family will be forged by you.β Yang Ying Haoβs expression became solemn as he said seriously, βThe Central Capitalβs Eight Great Families have struggled for so many generations, yet have only managed to develop to their current level. The Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land launching an all-out assault has resulted in our Eight Great Families being unable to resist them and half of the Central Capital has fallen into enemy hands. This is an incredibly shameful stain on my Eight Great Familiesβ reputation. But you, after only returning to the Yang Family for two years, have already built up a force greater than any one of the Eight Great Families. Your mansion is truly this worldβs greatest force! I have to say that you are more suitable than anyone else to lead the Yang Family, if not for you, do you think we old men would feel assured passing our Patriarch positions down to a group of immature kids? Itβs not that they arenβt worried about their own children, but that they had faith in you.β
All seven of the other old men in the room nodded silently, their expressions all filled with strong expectations for Yang Kai, containing not the slightest bit of contempt.
Yang Kai wore a forced smile. When he was branded an enemy of the Eight Great Families, he hadnβt cared about whether they even continued to exist, but now they had all shown him such great sincerity, causing him to be somewhat embarrassed.
Regardless of whatever tricks and schemes they may have pulled against him, the Eight Great Families had still been the bulwark against the Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land for countless years, they deserved at least some credit for that.
βGreat Uncle, I wonβt disappoint your expectations,β Yang Kai replied sincerely, βConsidering the current situation, I will assume command of the Yang Family for a while, and after this incident, I will hand over power to Eldest Brother or Second Brother. My future does not lie in the Yang Family, nor the Central Capital. My journey does not end here.β
Yang Kaiβs gaze revealed the look of yearning and expectation, βPerhaps you wonβt believe me when I said this, but I believe that out there, there are stronger cultivators, stronger Sects, stronger familiesβ¦ compared to them, the Eight Great Families are nothing,Iβm afraid.β
At the very least, Yang Kai knew that Water Spirit Temple was a Sect that could produce a master like Shui Ling!
The eight Patriarchs all wore surprised expressions as the quickly exchanged glances, seemingly not quite able to understand the meaning of Yang Kaiβs words.
In this world, what force could be stronger than the Eight Great Families? Even the Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land, which was really a loose alliance of six different domains, was only roughly equal in strength to them.
βVery well.β Yang Ying Hao hesitated for a moment before gently nodding, βYou have broader ambitious, naturally I will not try to stop you. During this time, you will temporarily assume the position of Yang Family Patriarch.β
Yang Kai nodded lightly, βSince Iβll only be taking over temporarily, thereβs no need for a formal handover ceremony.β
Yang Ying Hao sighed and no longer tried to force him, silently accepting reality.
The Central Capital Eight Great Families were changing Patriarchs all at once. When this news came out, it shook the world; especially those who remained in the Central Capital, many of them were dumbstruck for quite some time.
Seven of the Great Families would hold official succession ceremonies in order to pass on the position of Patriarch. As for the Yang Family, only a proclamation announcing Yang Kai would temporarily assume the role of Patriarch was to be made.
Such ceremonies would normally be treated as the biggest events in each respective family, but nowadays, with so many Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land masters lurking nearby, the seven families decided to only host a single ceremony where all seven of the new Patriarchs would be inducted into their positions. This way it would be easier to guard against any aggression from the Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land.
Fortunately, the Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land forces were recently more subdued in their actions so the seven families were hurriedly able to arrange this grand ceremony.
The task of security for the time being was handed over to the many powerful masters from Yang Kaiβs mansion.
With the many masters gathered in Yang Kaiβs house taking charge of defence, things proceeded in an orderly manner.
Time pass quickly, and three days later, Yang Ying Feng and Dong Su Zhu arrived at Yang Kaiβs mansion.
After receiving word of their arrival, Yang Kai quickly rushed outside to greet his parents.
Su Yan also coyly followed beside Yang Kai, her face blushing faintly. Yang Ying Feng and Dong Su Zhu were both experienced adults and when they saw the shy appearance of Su Yan, they immediately understood the relationship between her and Yang Kai.
Dong Su Zhu immediately drew Su Yan to a nearby table and was set about becoming familiar with the beautiful ice fairy who was her future daughter-in-law.
Meanwhile, the Yang Family Fourth Master quietly gave Yang Kai a big thumbs up, but with a somewhat envious grin.
βAunty, in fact, thereβs also one other as well.β Su Yan suddenly whispered to Dong Su Zhu.
βAnother one?β Dong Su Zhu listened and chuckled to herself, wearing a big smile as she comforted Su Yan, βRest assured, Iβll teach that little bastard son of mine well. Hmph, thinking that heβs a little strong now he actually dares to surround himself with beautiful woman.β
Obviously she thought that Su Yan was jealous.
βThereβs no need.β Su Yan quickly waved, βItβs just that Junior Sister is quite shy and is somewhat embarrassed to come out on her own. Moreover, Junior Brother has never made things clear to her, delaying such important matters, causing her to be uncertainβ¦ soβ¦β
Dong Su Zhu looked at Su Yan with a somewhat confused expression, βYanβer, what you mean isβ¦β
βIβd like to have her come and meet Uncle and Aunty.β Su Yan replied firmly.
Dong Su Zhu was secretly surprised. She hadnβt expected Su Yan to be so benevolent, only responding a moment later, βAs long as you donβt mind, I naturally would like to meet her and chat.β
βThen Iβll bring her over,β Su Yan said with a smile, her body disappearing in a flicker.
βMother, where is Su Yan going?β Yang Kai was talking nearby with his father when he suddenly saw Su Yan run off, so he curiously asked.
βHmph!β Dong Su Zhu snorted dismissively, causing Yang Kai to scratch his head in confusion.
Soon after, Su Yan brought Xia Ning Chang over, the latterβs cheeks flushed a deep shade of crimson as she did her best to politely greet the Yang Family Fourth Master and his wife before taking a seat beside Su Yan, where she then became stiff and motionless. It was only when Dong Su Zhu asked her a question would she shyly reply.
Having a good look at these two young girls, Dong Su Zhu was completely satisfied.
An ice fairy and an innocent beauty, receiving the sentiment of these two was simply her sonβs extreme good fortune.
The Yang Family Fourth Master was deeply jealous of his sonβs good luck, but managed to wear a stern face, βKaiβer, you cannot treat these two girls unjustly. Set a date soon and make things official.β
Yang Kai on the other hand chuckled and said, βThereβs no rush, weβre all still young.β
βYou may be young, but your parents arenβt anymore.β Yang Ying Feng argued.
βWhoβs old? Look at Mom, when she sits together with Su Yan and Little Senior Sister itβs like theyβre three sisters.β Yang Kai smiled and glanced to the side, his heart filled with warmth.
(Silavin: This cheeky bastard)
βReally?β Dong Su Zhu most liked listening to such compliments.
βOf course it is.β Yang Kai did not hesitate to flatter.
βGood good, then from now on we three are sisters.β Dong Su Zhu was very excited and intimately pulled Su Yan and Xia Ning Chang closer.
Su Yan and Xia Ning Changβs beautiful faces both became somewhat awkward as they stared at Dong Su Zhu in surprise.
Meanwhile, the Yang Family Fourth Master and Yang Kaiβs faces went black.
βYour mother often says some impulsive things, thereβs not need to pay attention to her at these times,β Yang Ying Feng hurriedly explained.
βWhat matter has father come here today about?β Yang Kai also took the opportunity to change the topic in order to avoid Su Yan and his Little Senior Sister from enduring too much embarrassment.
Yang Ying Feng coughed lightly and continued, βYou Great Uncle wants you to go back.β
βBack to the Yang Family?β
βEn.β
Yang Kaiβs brow furrowed, βWhen?β
βThe sooner the better.β
βI understand.β Yang Kai nodded slightly, βDid Great Uncle say why he wants me to return to urgently?β
βHe didnβt explain much, only telling me that it was a matter of importance and that he would explain when you returned to the Yang Family.β
βIf thatβs the caseβ¦ then Iβll leave immediately.β Yang Kai thought for a moment before saying, βPlease wait here for a bit, I need to make some arrangements first.β
Heading into the interior of the mansion, Yang Kai informed everyone that he would be returning to Yang Family compound. Qiu Yi Meng and Huo Xing Chen werenβt in the house anymore, having returned to their respective families in preparation to assume their new positions as Family Heads, so Yang Kai could only let Ling Tai Xu and Meng Wu Ya look after the house for now.
βYoung Master, donβt blame Old Servant for being cynical, but the Yang Family so eagerly wanting you to return, are you certain they donβt have any ulterior motives?β Old Demon suddenly became alert.
βThereβs no issue.β Yang Kai shook his head, βSince I agreed to join them in resisting the Demon Lord, they no longer have a reason to act against me.β
βYoung Master mustnβt be careless.β Old Demon grinned sullenly, βThe Eight Great Families are used to acting as overlords, yet now youβve forced them to essentially become henchmen. Iβm afraid there will not be few people who have grievances with you. As long as Young Master has an accident, the power gathered in this house will fracture, if that happens, the Eight Great Families will certainly try to take advantage of the situation.β
βEn, you should not lower your guard.β Meng Wu Ya also, agreed with Old Demon for once.
βIf they were to really do that, it would be far too short-sighted. Iβd have nothing to say at that point.β Yang Kai sneered.
The danger posed by the Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land to the Central Capital had yet to be dealt with. If the Eight Great Families were to start more internal disputes at this point, only considering how to carve up the most benefits for themselves, then there was no reason for them to remain in this world.
βIn any case, Old Servant will accompany you.β Old Demon quickly said.
Yang Kai glanced at him and said casually, βEn, very well.β
He felt that the Eight Great Families would not be so idiotic now that things had reached this point. The Patriarch positions being passed down to members of the younger generation was also a fact. Facing the current crisis, it seemed that they had finally decided to act wisely.
This along made Yang Kai feel like there was still some hope for the Eight Great Families, perhaps medicine to cure idiocy really did exist.
His original purpose in joining this war was simply because he wanted to take advantage of the remnant Spiritual Energy of the slain Immortal Ascension Boundary masters. But now that essentially no battles were being fought, he needed to find a turning point, and merging the Eight Great Families with his own house was the best option available to him.
