Chapter 2733 — Kang Jinglong Wants to Break Off the Engagement

"?" Wei Zhao was taken aback by Instructor Bai's baffling remark. "What do you mean? How did this get tangled up with my void attribute?"

"Huh? You don't know?" Instructor Bai looked at Wei Zhao, somewhat puzzled himself.

"Of course I don't... Could it be that this Marrow-Cleansing Bone-Transforming Pill has something to do with inheritance?" Something had just occurred to Wei Zhao.

"Exactly! Because the void attribute is acquired through external means, it is not especially pure. It resides within the body and carries numerous flaws. The function of the Marrow-Cleansing Bone-Transforming Pill is to purify the void attribute, thereby raising the success rate of inheritance!" Instructor Bai nodded and said, "Let me give you an example. Take two people with the void attribute, both receiving an inheritance together. Their chances would originally be equal—either might obtain it. But if one of them has taken the Marrow-Cleansing Bone-Transforming Pill, the result is certain to be that the one who took it receives the inheritance!"

"So that is to say, having taken the Marrow-Cleansing Bone-Transforming Pill, one is certain to receive the inheritance?" Wei Zhao asked.

"Not exactly. It only increases the success rate. Nothing is ever absolute—it is still possible to fail!" Instructor Bai shook his head.

"I see... The Xuan Dan Sect may be refining this Marrow-Cleansing Bone-Transforming Pill," Wei Zhao said.

"The Xuan Dan Sect? Or perhaps it is the Five Luminaries Sect that needs it?" Instructor Bai frowned and said, "You crippled Kang Jinglong's uncle, Tagan Long. Perhaps the Five Luminaries Sect is eager to cultivate another replacement, and so they are using the Marrow-Cleansing Bone-Transforming Pill?"

"That isn't it either. They must have begun searching for the pill formula and preparing to refine it before I crippled Tagan Long," Wei Zhao shook his head, rejecting that conjecture.

"Then perhaps it is another plan that was prepared long ago," Instructor Bai thought for a moment and said, "Tagan Long was the open piece in their scheme. From what I know, there should also be a hidden piece. Perhaps from the very beginning they never abandoned the hidden piece, running the open and hidden tracks in parallel—so that if one ran into trouble, the whole plan would not be affected."

"So that's how it is." Wei Zhao nodded and speculated, "In that case, their hidden piece might also possess a physique of the five elements and seven attributes, among which is a void attribute?"

"It is possible, but the specifics I do not know. Xuan Chen would never tell me," Instructor Bai said.

The bell for class rang, and Wei Zhao returned to his seat. He had asked essentially everything he wanted to ask, and had gained something from it—at least he now knew one condition required to raise the success rate for a void attribute to receive an inheritance.

When school let out that evening, Wei Zhao walked out of the classroom with Wang Xinyan and Han Jingyi as usual, and then in the parking lot he drove back to the villa together with Gu Mengyao and the others.

Because of the morning's affair, Kang Jinglong had been brooding over the matter between Wei Zhao and Wang Xinyan. So after school he did not return to the dormitory, nor to the Kang family home; instead he followed Wei Zhao and Wang Xinyan to the parking lot. And when he saw Wang Xinyan get into Wei Zhao's car, he was so furious that his eyes turned green!

"Sure enough—sure enough, there is something going on!" Kang Jinglong pointed at Wei Zhao's car, beside himself with rage, and wanted to rush forward and drag Wang Xinyan out of the car. But reason told him that the consequence of doing so would very likely be a sound beating. It was true that Wei Zhao had misgivings and dared not kill him, but a beating was certain—so long as he was not beaten to death, there would be no great harm!

After all, Zhong Yongliang had come off none the better against Wei Zhao before.

"Brother Kang, calm down—you must calm down. Let us follow them and see!" You Panhu pulled his car up beside Kang Jinglong, opened the door, and said to him.

"Fine, I will go and see just where they are going!" Kang Jinglong nodded and got into the car, while You Panhu drove after Wei Zhao.

Kang Jinglong knew he was weak and alone, and that facing Wei Zhao he would certainly come off the worse. After getting in the car, he calmed down as well, took out his phone, and began recording Wei Zhao's car the entire way!

Wei Zhao also noticed that You Panhu was driving behind them, but paid him no mind. After all, many in the class knew where he lived—it was no secret. So long as they followed without doing anything dangerous, Wei Zhao would not trouble himself to deal with them.

The car stopped at the gate of Wei Zhao's villa. Han Jingyi and Han Xiaochao went back to their own villa, while Wei Zhao, Wang Xinyan, Gu Mengyao, and Shen Yushu entered Wei Zhao's villa. This scene was captured on film by Kang Jinglong, who had parked far away at the entrance of the residential compound!

"Wei Zhao, you are actually living together with Wang Xinyan? This is beyond forbearance!" Several times Kang Jinglong was so furious that he wanted to smash his phone, but he held back—this was important evidence! Though he could not overcome Wei Zhao head-on, he could find another way!

"Brother Kang, do not act on impulse—impulse is the devil!" You Panhu did not want Kang Jinglong and Wei Zhao to come to blows either; it would do him no good at all.

"Let's go, to the Xiao family!" Kang Jinglong took a deep breath and said to You Panhu.

After the Xiao family and the Kang family were joined in marriage once again, they had moved to Donghai City to help the Kang family with some business. Especially now that the Kang family was working for the You family, even running errands for them could earn the Xiao family considerable benefit, and so the Xiao family was quite eager to curry favor with the Kang family.

Especially after yesterday, when word spread that Kang Jingming had become the Eighth Elder of the Xuan Dan Sect, Xiao Ji and Xiao Ben of the Xiao family resolved all the more to follow the Kang family's lead in all things and to keep the marriage alliance between the two families firmly in place. The Kang family was growing more formidable by the day, and the Xiao family was now reckoned to be marrying above itself; so if this marriage bond were ever lost, whether the Kang family would continue to promote the Xiao family would be very hard to say.

Kang Jinglong's sudden visit left Xiao Ji and Xiao Ben flattered and startled. Upon learning of the gatekeeper's announcement, the brothers Xiao Ji and Xiao Ben both came out in person to the gate of the Xiao family villa and respectfully invited Kang Jinglong and You Panhu inside!

"Young Master Kang, Young Master You, your presence brings glory to our humble abode!" Xiao Ben said with a fawning smile. "Brother, quick, have sister-in-law wash some fruit and pour tea!"

"No need! I cannot eat, and I cannot drink!" Kang Jinglong waved his hand coldly, his face dark, and said, "I have come here today to break off the engagement!"

"Gah!" Xiao Ben froze, and Xiao Ji's leg, which he had been about to step forward, hung suspended in midair. Both brothers were somewhat dumbfounded—Kang Jinglong had come today to break off the engagement?
