Chapter 2260 — Courting the Kang Family
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
This too was something he and his father had agreed upon. At present, though it was unknown whether the Kang family would rise in the future, if Kang Jingming really was taken as a disciple by the Fifth Elder and valued by Tian Canbian, then the odds were great that he would become the Xuandan Sect's next elder. And then the Kang family would rise with him—when one man attains the Way, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!
Though the Kang family's foundations were rather thin and they had little depth, they had someone backing them above. So long as Kang Jingming prospered, the Kang family's prosperity was only a matter of time. Therefore, whether or not Kang Jingming was valued, whether or not he prospered, it was necessary for the Right family to prepare in advance and cultivate good relations with the Kang family!
If Kang Jingming was valued, then the Kang family's rise would be unstoppable, and there would be no harm at all in the Right family's friendship with them. If Kang Jingming was not valued, then it did not matter either—the Kang family had helped the Right family a great deal, so they could simply treat it as repayment!
"Grandfather, Uncle, you mean for me to show goodwill to the Kang family?" Right Panhu was not too foolish; he grasped his grandfather's and uncle's meaning at once.
"Precisely!" Old Master Right nodded and said, "If Kang Jingming is valued, the Kang family's meteoric rise will be unstoppable, and there is no harm in our building good relations early! But if Kang Jingming is not valued, then we simply treat it as an emotional investment, and it will also make the Kang family work even harder for us!"
"Then... am I to do this alone?" Right Panhu was somewhat perplexed. Why was he being pushed to the fore in all the family's affairs lately? Did Grandfather want to groom him? That didn't seem right either...
"In this matter, the Xuandan Sect side wants it kept secret for now. If your uncle and I were to show our faces, the Kang family would surely grow suspicious. That old fellow Kang Laicai is no pushover either—he's shrewd, and if he caught on to something, it would be troublesome." Old Master Right explained, "So sending you is just right. But until we receive further word from the Xuandan Sect, you needn't appear too enthusiastic—just keep up some contact with the Kang family's third generation."
"I understand." Right Panhu nodded. "Who am I to contact? Among the Kang family's third generation, hasn't Kang Jingming gone off with the Xuandan Sect?"
"The Kang family's third generation has another, Kang Jinglong. He is currently pursuing a doctorate in the pharmaceuticals program of the biology department at Donghai Engineering University, though he has not been at the school lately because of an internship. In the coming period, he will likely return to the school to write his thesis. Try to make contact with him and see." Right Zhentian handed a file to Right Panhu as he spoke.
"Oh? This fellow looks quite refined?" Right Panhu took the file and flipped through it, but when he saw that the Kang family had formed a marriage alliance with the secular Xiao family and that Kang Jinglong's fiancée was Wang Xinyan, he could not help but stare wide-eyed. "My God, no way? The cuckold's girlfriend is Wang Xinyan?"
"What is it?" Right Zhentian frowned. "Do you have some connection with this Wang Xinyan?"
"Not me, but Wang Xinyan is Wei Zhao's girlfriend—everyone at school knows!" Right Panhu said. (To be continued.) RQ
