Chapter 1738 — Distinguished Guests at the Door
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 3
Kang Guifeng looked at the two strangers before his family home with some confusion, wondering what kind of people they might be. But judging by their bearing, they were clearly extraordinary, so Kang Guifeng did not dare to be lax. He quickly asked, "May I ask... is there something the two of you wish to see our Kang family about?"
"Are you a member of the Kang family?" One of the two, who was plainly a servant by his appearance, asked Kang Guifeng.
"Yes, I am Kang Guifeng, eldest son of the Kang family. May I ask who the two of you are..." Kang Guifeng asked with some hesitation.
"This is the young master of the Hidden Right Family, You Zhentian. Why haven't you opened the main gate and had your family head come out to receive him?" The servant looked down at Kang Guifeng from a lofty height and said with arrogant pride.
"Ah? The Hidden Right Family?" Hearing this name, Kang Guifeng was momentarily dumbstruck. In the sphere he could reach, the secular aristocratic families were already existences beyond his reach, yet a hidden aristocratic family was as unreachable as the heavens themselves!
Although he knew of the hidden aristocratic families by reputation, he had only ever heard of them and never had any contact with them. Now, with a hidden family suddenly coming to visit, Kang Guifeng was at a complete loss! But he knew that a hidden aristocratic family stood high above the Kang family like the heavens themselves.
"You San, there's no need to be so aggressive. Though we are a hidden aristocratic family, Old Master Kang's seniority is what it is — there's no need for him to come out and receive us!" You Zhentian waved his hand. Their Hidden Right Family had come this time to seek cooperation with the Kang family, so there was no need to strike too lofty a pose.
"How could that be? Since the two of you have come from a hidden aristocratic family, I'll have someone open the main gate at once and have my father come out to receive both of your distinguished selves!" Kang Guifeng knew that You Zhentian was only being polite, and naturally did not dare to be lax. He hastily instructed several servants at the entrance to open the Kang family's main gate, then quickly called Divine Doctor Kang.
Divine Doctor Kang had not been having an easy time of it these past few days either. The title of an aristocratic family was beyond their reach, and not only that — the Kang family had been completely excluded from the sphere of aristocratic family influence. On the territory of the families whose members belonged to the Association led by Wei Zhao, the Kang family's business would likely proceed with great difficulty!
He had previously wanted to cooperate with the Xiao family, joining forces with the Hidden Pi Family to form a coalition of interests, but he had no idea whether they would even look favorably upon the Kang family...
Just as Divine Doctor Kang was fretting over this, a burst of urgent telephone ringing sounded.
"Hello?" Divine Doctor Kang snapped back to his senses and quickly grabbed the phone. This was his private line; only the Xiao family and his own family knew the number, so Divine Doctor Kang took the call very seriously.
"Father, it's me, Guifeng!" Kang Guifeng said.
"Guifeng? If you have something to discuss, why didn't you come over in person? Why call while you're still in the house?" Divine Doctor Kang was somewhat puzzled.
"Father, two distinguished guests have arrived at the house. Bring younger brother and the juniors — come quickly to receive them!" Kang Guifeng said urgently. Although You Zhentian had been courteous, he could hardly afford to be remiss in showing proper respect!
