Chapter 1084 — The Yu Family Comes to Mind

For the moment, though, the pressing matter was this: Song Xiangwen decided he would first tell the Yu family the good news! This year's Great Gathering of the Noble Houses was about to convene, and Qiu Lingshan's breakthrough had undoubtedly added a powerful bargaining chip to the Song family's standing at the Gathering!
The strength of a noble house had to be judged on many counts. The strongest fighter it currently possessed was one aspect, wealth was another, but without question the most important was the strength of the younger generation! The young, after all, were the hope of every noble house's future!
And Qiu Lingshan, at this moment, had undoubtedly become the most formidable of them all, save for that mysterious scion of the Yu family!
True, the Yu family had lately suffered no small number of upheavals. Word had it that Yu Bide had been beaten to death and Yu Kun crippled, but none of that would shake the Yu family's standing! In the Song family's view, there were hidden noble houses standing behind the Yu family, and they could not possibly fail to step forward on the Yu family's behalf.
What was more, the Yu family still had an Earth Stage expert who had gone off to cultivate among the hidden houses. These formidable backers were the Yu family's foundation. The loss of a Yu Bide and a Yu Kun counted for nothing at all!
Nor was it possible for the Yu family to keep such matters hidden. Which of these noble houses did not have its own channels of information?
Only, in the eyes of these houses, anyone who set himself against the Yu family had surely grown weary of living. To actually dare raise a hand against the Yu family — the consequences were only too easy to imagine.
"Hello? Yes?" Yu Shuixing picked up the phone. His mood had been poor for some time now; the business with Yu Bide and Yu Kun had left him deeply depressed. And now Yu Feng was gone too. Within the Yu family, he had become a commander without an army!
Nor had any good news come back from Yu Feng's end. A vague foreboding suddenly rose in Yu Shuixing's heart! Could Wei Zhao truly be so mysterious, so hard to investigate? Otherwise, with Yu Feng's methods, how could he have failed to pick up even a whisper?
Over at the Yu family, his elder brother had made no move either, and there was no telling whether he could leave his seclusion. Yu Shuixing found himself caught between a rock and a hard place!
He had even begun to regret it. Had he not sent Xiaokun to Songshan City in search of the fragment of the map, none of what followed would ever have happened! Wei Zhao's ferocity had exceeded the Yu family's expectations. It seemed the Yu family had provoked an enemy it should never have provoked!
But what use was regret now? The man was dead. The debt still had to be repaid!
"Is this Mr. Yu? This is Song Xiangwen!" By seniority, Song Xiangwen was Yu Shuixing's elder. But the Yu family was now at its zenith, and Yu Shuixing was the current head of the Yu family, his equal at the Great Gathering of the Noble Houses — perhaps even a shade above him. So Song Xiangwen had no choice but to address him as Mr. Yu.
"Greetings, Patriarch Song!" The moment Yu Shuixing heard it was Song Xiangwen, his manner warmed at once. Unhappy as he was, he knew well that such displeasure could not be vented before the head of another noble house!
The Yu family was already in trouble. If he meant to protect the Yu family's interests, he could not afford to make enemies of the other houses — especially one like the Song family, a house of considerable strength. Such a house had to be won over, and only then could the Yu family's standing among the noble houses be preserved!
