Chapter 388: It Is Very Expensive for Me to Make Friends with a De-Lor
“Second Young Master, please don’t do anything stupid.” Elder Sun suddenly said.”
He was a member of the Confucius Residence, so he naturally knew that the Old Master only wanted the Second Young Master to live the life of a rich man and did not want the Second Young Master to disrupt his elder brother’s plans.
However, looking at the situation today, the Second Young Master also wanted to befriend Xu Bai. There were many ways to do so.
Kong Xu recovered from his silence and said,””Elder Sun, who do you think is more suitable, me or big brother?”
Elder Sun was stunned and sighed.” Second Young Master is more suitable, but Old Master is stubborn. Only Eldest Young Master is legitimate. He wants face.”
“Yes,” ” But I believe that only virtuous people can make a family flourish,” Kong Xu said slowly.”
“You’re making things difficult for me.”Elder Sun said,” Besides, the person you befriended is Xu Bai. It’s unknown whether he can make it to the capital alive. Why waste time here? As long as you don’t offend him, it’s fine. ‘”‘
“No, he can.” Kong Xu said,” I’m very accurate in judging people. Don’t forget, besides being a scholar, I’ve also studied divination. I just read his fortune.’”‘
Kong Xu couldn’t hold it in anymore and spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned extremely pale. He didn’t know when he had been injured.
Elder Sun was shocked. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Kong Xu.
“It’s all blurry. Even with my strength as a scholar and a diviner of the Fifth
Stage, I can’t see anything. “Kong Xu looked very weak.”
Elder Sun was silent. After a long time, he said, “But I…”
“You have a daughter. If big brother succeeds the family head, she will be a concubine.”Kong Xu looked straight at Elder Sun and said firmly,””As for me, I will take her as my wife. From now on, you, Elder Sun, will take off your status as a servant and become my father-in-law.”
Elder Sun fell silent again, as if he was stunned by Kong Xu’s words. He did not reply for a long time.
After a while, Elder Sun finally left the silent atmosphere. His eyes were filled with complicated emotions.
He looked at the dozen or so subordinates around him with killing intent in his eyes.”lf that’s the case, we can’t keep these people alive.”
The topic they had just discussed was very secretive. They must not let these people hear it, or else it would be a disaster.
“There’s no need to kill them. They’re already my people.”Kong Xu handed Old Sun a pill and said: “Elder Sun, take it. This is an antidote pill. You can circulate your true qi and know that you’ve been poisoned by me.”
Elder Sun was stunned. He tried to circulate his zhenqi and found that it was true. He could not help but say in astonishment, “You wanted to see Xu Bai for a long time, and you wanted to get rid of me, a thorn in your side.”
The surrounding subordinates were already Kong Xu’s men, and only he wasn’t. Moreover, he was poisoned when he came here, so the result was obvious.
“I spent a lot of effort to get this poison. If I knew that Elder Sun would agree, I wouldn’t have done this. Fortunately, I have the antidote.”Kong Xu said helplessly,” There’s nothing I can do about it. If my big brother really succeeds the throne, I won’t be far from death.”‘
Elder Sun smiled bitterly and took the antidote.”This old man will accompany you once, but you must remember what you said.” “Father-in-law, please accept my bow.”Kong Xu bowed.
The Yin Posthouse was silent.
They spoke very softly, so no one heard them.
Xu Bai was riding a fast horse and rushing towards Wind Chime Manor.
Ye Zi leaned against Xu Bai’s chest and looked up at Xu Bail s face.””Young Master, it seems that the second young master of the Kong family is trying to curry favor with you to ease his anxiety.”
“I know.” Xu Bai looked ahead and spoke in a faint voice.
“How does Young Master know that?” Ye Zi asked curiously.
“The so-called second young master, just this word alone has already reflected the true meaning of it.””The power struggle in this family is probably at this level.” Xu Bai smiled.”
Ye Zi giggled.” Young Master, your wisdom is unparalleled. You don’t need Ye
Zi’s reminder to know the situation.”
In fact, the young master of the Kong family and his brother had never been on good terms. The head of the Kong family had already made his brother the next heir.
As expected, when his big brother took over, his life might not be guaranteed.”
Xu Bai freed a hand and rubbed Ye Zi’s head, causing her to mutter. Only then did he say, “You really know everything.”
What Ye Zi said just now was indeed no different from what he thought.
‘ The clan’s nurturing has allowed us to have a rough understanding of the forces in the world,” Ye Zi said.” It just so happens that we can help Young Master. Young Master, what do you think?””
“What was I thinking?” Xu Bai muttered to himself,” If you want to make friends with me, I want to make friends with you. It’s too cheap. What do you think? What do you want to do behind him? He wants to go to the Ye family. There must be an intersection behind him.””
“Yes.” Ye Zi hummed and moved her head. She changed to a more comfortable position and leaned into Xu Bail s arms.
The horse sped further and further away. Xu Bai didn’t stop along the way and headed straight for his destination.
It was very quiet along the way. There were no so-called assassinations. It was as if everything had returned to peace.
By the time Xu Bai had finished reading the Nameless Saber Scripture, he had finally arrived at Wind Chimes Manor..
