Chapter 2395 — Want to Break Off the Engagement?

Before this, it had been nothing but fantasy and guesswork. But now, having heard the words of Old Master You, the thoughts in his heart had shifted somewhat—after all, if Kang Jingming had not risen so high, Old Master You could never have brought himself to call with such humility, angling for a connection.
"Too modest! You mustn't say such things. I have heard that Zhaoming is the Fifth Elder's final disciple. His future prospects are boundless!" Old Master You said with a laugh.
Divine Physician Kang was even more astonished. He had never imagined Kang Jingming's luck would be so extraordinary—a final disciple of the Fifth Elder, no less! The boy had said nothing of this himself. Had Old Master You not called, Divine Physician Kang would never have known how formidable Kang Jingming truly was. "Heh, Old Master You, best keep it low-key. Zhaoming is young—it does him no good to be praised too highly!"
"Understood, understood!" Old Master You laughed. "By the way, I hear Zhaoming's elder brother is also in the biomedical program at Donghai Engineering University?"
"That's right. Zhaolong is heading back in a few days to write his doctoral thesis," Divine Physician Kang said. "Is there something you need?"
"My grandson, You Panhu, is in the same program at Donghai Engineering University—also a disciple of Bai Lingtou. The two of them can get better acquainted in the future!" Old Master You said.
"Good. Young people are easier to talk to when they're together!" Divine Physician Kang sighed inwardly. In the past, the hidden You family would never have given the Kang family the time of day—the two were not remotely on the same level. But now, Old Master You clearly regarded the Kang family as an equal with whom to associate.
"Very well then, Old Kang, I'll let you get back to your work. I had no other reason for calling—just to touch base and keep our ties warm," Old Master You said.
After hanging up, Divine Physician Kang's heart surged with emotion. He had underestimated Kang Jingming's standing. It seemed Kang Jingming was now unquestionably one of the key figures of the Xuandan Sect! The Kang family was truly about to rise!
He looked at Kang Guifeng, Kang Cuipu, and Kang Jinglong, all three of them staring at him expectantly, and said, "Zhaoming's turn of fortune has far exceeded our expectations. This time, our Kang family is truly about to rise!"
"Father, what did Old Master You of the hidden You family... say?" Kang Guifeng asked hurriedly.
"Old Master You says Zhaoming currently holds a very high position in the Xuandan Sect—he is the Fifth Elder's final disciple. Very likely a future elder!" Divine Physician Kang did not hold back; saying these things would do the Kang family enormous good. "Zhaoming may have been too modest to mention so much before, but the You family's information channels are clearly sharper than ours—they have already begun currying favor with us!"
"What! A future elder?!" Kang Guifeng and the others were all startled. Divine Physician Kang had said similar things before, but those had been mere speculation and analysis. Coming from the You family, the effect was utterly different!
"Indeed. And Old Master You also said his grandson, You Panhu, is in the biomedical department at Donghai Engineering University. He wants you to look him up, Zhaolong, and get better acquainted," Divine Physician Kang said.
"Yes, Grandfather!" Kang Jinglong drew a deep breath and clenched his fists. He had never imagined a day like this would come—that he would succeed in elevating his status to the level of a young master of a hidden family!
Such a status had once been beyond his reach, yet it had come to him so unexpectedly and so easily! He was beside himself with excitement.
