House Xiao is Visiting

A business car with Yanjing’s car plate came to sight. Eventually, Uncle Pi had arrived.

The Xiao brothers got into their own car, leading the way with the business car at the back following them to House Kang’s villa.

“Dad, the people from House Xiao have arrived. Should we go welcome them later?” Kang Guifeng received the call from the Xiao brothers and informed his dad who was in the study room.

“Oh? They’ve arrived? Hmph, it seems like they are pretty impatient!” Miracle Doctor Kang curled his lips with disdain. “I heard that House Xiao is an empty shell now?”

“Indeed, according to my report, House Xiao has sold all their business in Yanjing and prepared to play their last bet in Songshan city.” Kang Guifeng nodded.

“Why Songshan city but not Donghai city though?” Miracle Doctor Kang asked.

“Perhaps they are only left with a small amount of money. It might not be enough for them to look impressive in Donghai. After all, there are a lot of rich people there. They might outshine them completely.

Kang Guifeng’s guess was precisely correct as House Xiao was thinking the same as well.

Besides other than House Kang, there was another hidden noble house in Donghai city, House Zhao. House Xiao couldn’t even look impressive with these two houses around so they chose to move to Songshan city instead. They could very much use their remaining power and become the big tyrant in that small place.

Miracle Doctor Kang nodded. “Go welcome them, but don’t make it too grand. After all, House Kang’s current power isn’t inferior to House Xiao, either! We are on the same path. House Xiao isn’t doing any good recently, and aren’t we facing the same thing too?”

“Yeah, we’re damaged pretty severely too, Miracle Doctor Guan and Fatty Lai dug a big hole for us to step!” Kang Guifeng continued. “We’ll have to see if Kang Zhaoming can get the recipe from House Guan now!”

“En, right. Is there any news from Zhaoming?” Miracle Doctor Kang asked.

“Zhao Qibing was relocating the slums, and accidentally injured him but I heard that Zhaoming wanted to solve this issue himself, asking for compensation.” Kang Guifeng answered. “As for the development of his relationship with Guanxin, there’s no news yet.”

“This kid, didn’t he always brag about how good he was in chasing after girls? What is taking him so long?” Miracle Doctor Kang was rather impatient as he asked. “Right, was his injury serious?”

“I’ve no idea, but Kang Zhaoming didn’t mention a thing about it, he’s probably fine I guess?” Kang Guifeng shook his head.

Not long after, the Xiao brothers came in with Uncle Pi. Miracle Doctor Kang didn’t want to show his face formally, but after hearing that Uncle Pi was here too, he came down because he was frightened, “Please excuse my manners, Uncle Pi, Xiao Ji, Xiao Ben, this man is old now, he suddenly dozed off without realizing the time!”

“It’s okay, no big deal!” Xiao Ben waved his hand with a smile like he didn’t mind and stood up with Xiao Ji as they greeted. “Both of us are juniors, how could we have the honor to have Miracle Doctor Kang to welcome us? You’re being too humble!”

But Xiao Ben was smiling coldly inside, this old fox. Would he even come down if he didn’t know that Uncle Pi was here?

In fact, things were like how Xiao Ben assumed, Miracle Doctor Kang knew how powerful was Uncle Pi was. There was no way he would ignore an existence like Uncle Pi! Who knew if House Kang would require help from Uncle Pi in the future? Once they reached a certain level in the society, the conflicts and problems between houses wouldn’t be settled using normal methods.

In the martial arts world, naturally, noble houses would use martial arts to settle the conflict. Even people like Li Cihua and Chu Pengzhan, many things were settled underground. Not to mention it was a conflict between noble houses!

Hence, the method used between noble houses was fairly simple, those who could win with their fist was the winner. As for Uncle Pi, he was a mystic class physical master. Of course, no one would have the balls to underestimate him!

“Well well!” Miracle Doctor Kang was beaming when he greeted Uncle Pi. “Pi Lao, your gracious presence brings light to our humble dwelling!”

“Miracle Doctor Kang’s name is like a rumble of thunder piercing the ears, a very well-known reputation.” Uncle Pi eyed Miracle Doctor Kang, he didn’t even stand up when he greeted back. He only looked at him and said faintly. His expression was solemn, and he didn’t look impressed.

Miracle Doctor Kang felt awkward but he didn’t comment about it as he made a laugh, sat himself down and started weather talking with the Xiao brothers. “Xiao Ji, why did you guys come to Donghai city all of a sudden? Is there anything that House Kang can offer you guys?”

“Hehe, actually it’s like this, Miracle Doctor Kang as you know that after our father passed away, our business in Yanjing became a mess. Our father did something careless before he kicked the bucket, the business was at sixes and sevens!” Xiao Ben wasn’t trying to hide the truth as it was unnecessary because House Kang could find out themselves whether he lied or not. “Without destruction, there can be no construction. With this thought, we sold all the business in Yanjing and are trying to start over again in Songshan city!”

“Indeed! Changing to a new location, changing the environment and closing the gap between us is a smart move.” Miracle Doctor Kang nodded and laughed coldly inside. If Uncle Pi wasn’t at your side, what could you guys probably have?

“En, secondly, I want to ask about the marriage of Xinyan and Zhaolong….” Xiao Ben mentioned the purpose of their visit.

He wanted to get House Kang to their side as soon as possible. House Xiao might have the reputation of a noble house and the strength of Uncle Pi but they couldn’t always let Uncle Pi do the job for them, could they? If the marriage was a success, many people would befriend them and give them a lot of respect.

“Why the rush though? Xinyan is still studying in high school. Isn’t it too early for marriage?” Miracle Doctor Kang continued, “Of course, I personally would love to see them together and strongly agree with this marriage but Xinyan is just too young. She hasn’t reached the age to be a wife by law, right?”

“Haha, Miracle Doctor Kang, you really do know how to joke. These laws are nothing in the eyes of a noble house. However, they can get engaged first. Shall we do the arrangement for them?” Xiao Ji interrupted Miracle Doctor Kang with a laugh.

“En, you are right!” Miracle Doctor Kang nodded. “Sure, I’ll ask Zhaolong and have him set the date of engagement later.”

Miracle Doctor Kang didn’t really mind the idea of engagement. After all, engagement wasn’t marriage, they could very much call it off anytime they see right. Once they found another powerful support or became stronger themselves, House Xiao would be abandoned.

Xiao Ji and Xiao Ben understood the change in Miracle Doctor Kang’s tone. If Uncle Pi wasn’t around, this marriage would have gone south!

After saying their goodbyes, Xiao Ji and Xiao Ben left the villa with frustration. There was a saying, if a tiger went down to level land, it would be insulted by dogs! A man who lost their position and influence would be subjected to many indignities!

Recalling back the time when Miracle Doctor Kang himself brought Kang Guifentg and Kang Zhaolong to visit them. He had so much honor and respect towards them. But things took a big turn, and Miracle Doctor Kang’s attitude had changed completely.
