Chapter 3438 — A Chance Encounter on the Street

"Uh... better not. Let's wait until Wei Zhao is dead before we make a move..." Kang Jinglong did not dare do any such thing. After all, if Wei Zhao died, everything would be easy; but what if he did not die?
If he grabbed Wang Xinyan first and Kang Jingming still could not hold out, then he would be in a sorry state. Even if Wei Zhao did not beat him to death, he would leave him crippled! Even if he did nothing at all to Wang Xinyan and merely grabbed her, he would still never hear the end of it!
"All right then, just wait for my good news!" Kang Jingming could see his elder brother's cowardice, but he said nothing more. After all, he and Kang Jinglong were tarred with the same brush—without several backers and skilled hands, he truly would not dare go pick a fight with Wei Zhao alone. That would be far too dangerous.
That evening, the Kang family mansion was brightly lit with lanterns and decorations, celebrating Kang Jingming's triumphant return home. The festivities carried on until past one in the morning before everyone finally went to sleep. If Kang Jingming had not had to head to Yanjing early the next morning for his investigation, they probably would have stayed up all night!
Because Kang Jingming was simply too formidable, bringing along four experts at the peak of the late Heaven rank with Great Perfection in strength—something even ordinary ancient families could not match.
Kang Jingming did not go straight to the Song family to cause trouble. Instead, he settled in the area nearby and slowly carried out his observations! He wanted to see whether the people of the Paoli clan were in the vicinity!
He had been to the Paoli clan before, so he was thoroughly familiar with what its people looked like. The difference was obvious at a single glance, so if these people were nearby, they could never escape Kang Jingming's eyes.
"Junior Brother Kang, these past few days, the Song family doesn't seem to have had any outsiders come by?" After two days of surveillance, no outsiders had appeared at the Song family—only a few Song disciples coming and going, clearly out purchasing goods. Xiao Er therefore asked, somewhat puzzled.
"That's right, I don't see any either. Even if the Paoli clan came to the Song family, they couldn't stay cooped up indoors all day. There would be nothing for them to do at home. If they weren't going to wander about a little, then they must have gone back!" Kang Jingming nodded.
"So what do we do next?" Xiao Er asked.
"Let's wait a bit longer. Once we're certain there's no one else at the Song family, we'll go in!" Arrogant as Kang Jingming was this time, he was still very cautious.
"Fine! A little caution never hurts!" Xiao Er quite agreed with Kang Jingming's view.
That afternoon, however, Kang Jingming saw Wei Zhao and Qiu Lingshan leave the Song family together, and in that instant it was as if he had discovered a new continent!
"So Wei Zhao really is at the Song family!" Kang Jingming was overjoyed. "If the Paoli clan were also at the Song family, Wei Zhao couldn't have come out without bringing them along. It looks like the Paoli clan isn't at the Song family! Wait here while I go probe Wei Zhao!"
"What? Junior Brother Kang, you're going in person?" Xiao Er was startled. "There won't be any danger, will there?"
"Of course not. I'll just pretend it's a chance encounter and ask him a few questions. He can't do anything to me!" Kang Jingming said. "I know Wei Zhao. He's not about to tear things wide open with the Five Luminaries Sect, and besides, he needs me to refine pills for him!"
"All right then. Be careful!" Seeing that Kang Jingming had made up his mind, Xiao Er said nothing more.
