Chapter 808 — The Yu Family's Decision
In his view, now that Yu Haitian shared a common enemy with him, their relationship could very well be carried a step further.
"No need. I still have to investigate the Gu Group and Wei Zhao, then report to the family head, so that a good way to deal with Wei Zhao can be worked out as soon as possible!" Yu Haitian said.
"That's fine too. Then next time. Once my legs are better, we'll go out and have some fun together!" Zhao Qibing did not try to keep him, knowing that Yu Haitian must still have matters to attend to in a hurry.
After leaving the Geli Fuyun Bar, Yu Haitian, without daring to waste a moment, relayed the information he had gathered to the Yu family far away in Yanjing.
Yu Shuixing, Yu Bide, and Yu Feng all sat outside Yu Kun's room. This time, the beautiful middle-aged woman from before — Yu Kun's mother — was not there. This was a family meeting of the Yu family; only the second son, the third son, and the second son's son Yu Feng took part.
The old master and the head of the Yu family had both already broken through from the Xuan level to become Earth-level experts. The old master spent all year in seclusion, while the head of the family had gone over there to continue cultivating. So at present, the only ones managing affairs were the two brothers of the Yu family and, from the younger generation, Yu Feng and Yu Kun.
Of course, the Yu family also had another branch — that of Yu Haitian. However, Yu Haitian was not suited to martial arts, and his parents had died early, leaving him as the only one in that branch to manage the family's business matters.
"What do you all make of the news Xiao Tian sent back?" Yu Shuixing asked Yu Bide and Yu Feng, his expression grave as he looked at the dossier on Wei Zhao in his hand.
"Second Brother, I am now ninety percent certain that Xiao Kun was injured by this Wei Zhao!" As Yu Bide spoke, his eyes blazed with deep hatred. Although Yu Kun was not as gifted as Yu Feng, he was still a genius in the eyes of the other great houses. At such a young age, he already had strength at the late Yellow level; it could be said his future was boundless.
Yet who would have thought he would be hurt by Wei Zhao? How could Yu Bide not feel both heartache and hatred?
"Indeed, that is the current conjecture, but the truth will have to wait until Xiao Kun wakes up..." Yu Shuixing nodded.
"Second Brother, so are we just going to let it go like this? Xiao Kun gets hurt for nothing, and we don't go and have our vengeance on that Wei Zhao?" Yu Bide said anxiously.
"Of course we won't let it go." Yu Shuixing waved his hand. "But do you think Zhao Qibing is a fool? Do you think the hidden Zhao family is a fool?"
"This..." Yu Bide was startled, vaguely catching onto something.
"Wei Zhao broke the legs of the Zhao family's illegitimate son Zhao Qibing, wounded Uncle Zhu, a Xuan-level initial-stage expert, and even killed two Yellow-level experts. What great enmity is this?" Yu Shuixing asked in a low voice. "Do you think the Zhao family will let it go easily? This is no longer a matter of face; this is a provocation!"
"No... but they..." Yu Bide's breath tightened, his expression somewhat alarmed. "So you're saying they are afraid of something? Zhao Qibing didn't tell the truth?"
Yu Shuixing nodded, then waved his hand again. "I don't know whether Zhao Qibing told the truth or not! He is only an illegitimate son of the Zhao family; whether he can touch the secrets of the Zhao family's upper levels is hard to say. But the upper levels of the Zhao family have still made no move, and Wei Zhao remains alive and vigorous, active in Songshan City. Doesn't that tell us something?"
"Second Brother, you're right! I was somewhat rash, and didn't think things through!" Yu Bide nodded with a grave expression.
"I understand that you're eager for revenge!" Yu Shuixing sighed. "But am I not also eager to avenge Xiao Kun? You are his father, but Yu Kun is also one of the Yu family."
"Then, in your opinion, Second Brother, what should we do now..." Yu Bide asked carefully.
"Wait and see..." In fact, Yu Shuixing had no good plan either. "I still think we should first figure out Wei Zhao's background! And then wait for Xiao Kun to wake up; once we confirm that Wei Zhao did it, it won't be too late to make our move."
"Fine... then let Xiao Tian investigate a bit more in Songshan City!" Yu Bide nodded.
"But our Yu family's business in Yanjing still needs Xiao Tian to manage..." Yu Shuixing hesitated, but the matter of Xiao Kun was also of prime importance.
"Father, let me go to Songshan City and meet this Wei Zhao! Brother Tian doesn't know martial arts, so it will always be dangerous for him there. I am already at the pinnacle of the Xuan-level initial stage; I doubt Wei Zhao can do anything to me!" Yu Feng volunteered. "It will be safer for me to go investigate."
"This..." Yu Shuixing had not expected Yu Feng to volunteer to go investigate in Songshan City! It was not a bad choice to use him to replace Yu Haitian, but Yu Shuixing was also afraid Yu Feng might stir up trouble. After all, he was young and hotheaded, had not carried out many missions, and had always stayed at home training.
But when he thought of Yu Feng's current strength, Yu Shuixing felt there was really nothing to worry about. At the pinnacle of the Xuan-level initial stage — and Wei Zhao was probably only at the initial stage of the Xuan level, otherwise how could he have merely fought Uncle Zhu to a draw?
Yu Shuixing did not think it was because Wei Zhao did not dare kill Uncle Zhu. If he had been afraid of offending the Zhao family to death, he would not have killed the Zhao family's two Yellow-level experts! And the situation with Xiao Kun was the same: Wei Zhao's strength must have just entered the Xuan level and was still unstable, which was why he had failed to take Xiao Kun's life.
As for the two Yellow-level experts of the Zhao family, they had died in a car crash, which in Yu Shuixing's view was certainly due to some scheme of Wei Zhao's. Therefore, with Yu Feng's strength, there was no problem for him to dominate Songshan City.
"Father, no one is more suitable than me. You and Third Uncle can't very well go yourselves, can you?" Yu Feng said.
"Very well, you may go, but your main task is to find out Wei Zhao's background, not to cause trouble. Try not to have any conflict with him!" Yu Shuixing hesitated for a moment, then agreed.
"Humph, of course I won't cause trouble, but I'm afraid he might cause trouble for me. And if he does, so much the better — I won't need to find an excuse. One palm and I'll kill him to avenge Xiao Kun!" Yu Feng said somewhat arrogantly.
"Still, try as much as possible not to clash..." Yu Shuixing didn't put it in absolute terms, however. If, as Yu Feng said, Wei Zhao bullied them to the point of stepping on their heads, they couldn't very well not hit back, could they? And if he was killed then, no one could say anything about it.
Even if Wei Zhao had backing, the Yu family was not one to be bullied. If he was killed, then he was killed; who would dare do anything?
At this thought, Yu Shuixing's heart was greatly set at ease.
"I understand!" Seeing his father's expression, Yu Feng understood what he meant.
