Chapter 524 — Another Divine Doctor Arrives

"Then I have much to thank you for, Master Yu!" Divine Doctor Kang was well pleased with this arrangement; whatever was brought out last at an auction was almost always meant to hold the whole affair together.
"If there's nothing else, Divine Doctor Kang, then do give our auction house staff the details of this beauty-nourishing muscle-building golden wound salve — its effects, its directions for use, and when the goods can be delivered. I shall take my leave first," Yu Haitian said with a smile.
"Heh, no hurry. There is one more matter on which I hope Master Yu might lend a hand." Rather than discussing the wound salve any further, Divine Doctor Kang called Yu Haitian back and would not let him go.
"Oh? Is there something else?" Yu Haitian asked with feigned puzzlement, knowing full well what was coming.
"It is like this. Our Kang family has contributed a great deal to everyone over the years. Master Yu, would you see whether you might recommend us at the annual gathering of the five great houses and four minor houses — whether our Kang family might be elevated to great-house status?" Divine Doctor Kang watched Yu Haitian's expression and spoke, word by word.
He did not believe that Yu Haitian had come without making the appropriate inquiries beforehand. His terms were on the table now; whether it succeeded or not rested on the Yu family's attitude.
"This recommendation — of course it can be done." Yu Haitian had already received a hint by text message from his second cousin-uncle. Since the Kang family had such a fine treasure as their trump card, there was no need for the Yu family to stand in the way; better to let things take their natural course. "However, though our Yu family is the host of the annual gathering, whether your Kang family can become a great house still requires the other houses to declare their positions!"
"Heh, we of course know that as well, Master Yu. But so long as the Yu family, your family, does not oppose us and will recommend us, will our chances not be that much greater?" Divine Doctor Kang smiled faintly. "Incidentally, Zhaolong has also acknowledged Chentian as his elder brother, so the Wu family, naturally, will not oppose it!"
Divine Doctor Kang was quite the smooth talker. He did not say the Wu family would support it, only that the Wu family would not oppose it — which would keep Wu Chengtian from feeling that he was overstepping on his behalf.
"But of course. My little brother's business is my business — how could I oppose it?" Wu Chengtian thumped his chest and spoke with great chivalry. "I have no shortage of friends, but when it comes to true brothers, I have only Zhaolong! He is a true brother!"
Wu Chengtian felt that before this little brother of his, Kang Jinglong, he ought to put on a proper show of swagger and display his kingly, domineering air, so as to move him — which would do wonders for raising his own swagger level! And when a new swaggering Wu Iron-Hand appeared before Sun Jingyan, would he not simply reach out and capture her heart?
At this thought, Wu Chengtian felt immensely pleased with himself! That meal yesterday had been costly, but it had been worth it — not only had he caught a hold over Wei Zhao, but through Feng Xiaoxiao he had learned to swagger, and rarest of all, he had taken on such an intimate little brother!
This life was simply too wonderful! Truly, fortune followed fortune — Wu Chengtian felt he was well on his way to becoming the lucky protagonist of some novel! Every good thing in the world had fallen to him alone!
Yu Haitian's expression shifted slightly. Wu Chengtian's presence here naturally already represented the Wu family's stance, but what he had not expected was that Wu Chengtian would so openly voice support for the Kang family here — that was somewhat beyond his expectations!
