Chapter 1181: Chapter 1193
Chu Ge detected the deep disappointnt in Old Master Yu Wen’s words towards Yuwen Kangshi.
He sighed slightly; this was the life in their wealthy family, where even relatives would disregard familial affection for the sake of profit, ultimately becoming enemies.
“Old Master, if you manage to control Yuwen Kangshi later, what will you do?” Chu Ge asked curiously.
Old Master Yu Wen was montarily taken aback, as he hadn’t really thought about it carefully.
If Yuwen Kangshi really took action today, would he truly harden his heart to deal with him?
Old Master Yu Wen sighed slightly inside; faced with Chu Ge’s question, he didn’t know how to answer and couldn’t answer directly.
But this answer wasn’t particularly important to Chu Ge; he was just curious about Yuwen Kangshi’s position and importance in the Old Master’s heart.
If he held a certain weight in the Old Master’s heart, if Yuwen Kangshi knew about this weight, would he still do such extre things to him?
The answer was unknown and sothing he couldn’t imagine.
“Forget it, asking these questions now seems useless. Later on, you all need to be careful. Lian Chengyu is skilled at using Deadpool. Although I didn’t sense any Deadpools when I ca in, it doesn’t guarantee that there aren’t any lurking in the dark.”
Chu Ge advised.
Old Master Yu Wen looked at Chu Ge with so curiosity, “The Yin Summoning Talisman is in my hands; how can he still command Deadpool?”
Chu Ge explained, “Those Deadpools are not summoned by him; they have been re-refined. It’s just that due to the lack of Yin Summoning Talisman, their lifespan is very short.”
Old Master Yu Wen nodded knowingly and sighed in anger, “Back then, the disaster brought by this Yin Summoning Talisman was unimaginable for an ordinary person like . The situation was too intense, and the ones who suffered most were us common folk.”
“…”
Chu Ge and Long Ang listened quietly.
Old Master Yu Wen continued, “Back then, it was out of greed that I didn’t destroy the Yin Summoning Talisman. If I had destroyed it at that ti, this might not have happened today.”
Seeing the regretful look on Old Master Yu Wen’s face, Chu Ge gently shook his head, “No, you are wrong.”
Old Master Yu Wen raised his eyes skeptically at him, “I was wrong?”
Chu Ge nodded softly, “Even if you had destroyed the Yin Summoning Talisman, so what? Yuwen Kangshi would still plot against you! His true goal was not the Yin Summoning Talisman; it was the Family Head’s position.”
Old Master Yu Wen was stunned and then fell silent.
Chu Ge asked curiously, “I just can’t understand why you didn’t pass the position of Family Head to your sons, but rather directly to the grandchildren’s generation? Skipping a generation will always subtract so familial affection in between.”
Old Master Yu Wen sighed, and his lips revealed a bitter smile, “Actually, I also wanted to pass the position to my sons, but it was as if they had agreed among themselves; they all said they didn’t want the Family Head’s position, fearing it would harm their sibling relationship.”
“…”
Chu Ge and Long Ang exchanged a glance and then turned their gazes back to Old Master Yu Wen, eyes reflecting curiosity and confusion.
Old Master Yu Wen continued, “For this reason, they even left Binhai and went to branch offices in other regions to work, and the choice of the Family Head’s burden fell on my shoulders.”
“The elders of the family finally suggested selecting the most outstanding among the grandchildren, which was agreed and approved by everyone.”
Chu Ge looked speechless at Old Master Yu Wen, the most outstanding one?
From what he understood, Yuwen Kangli didn’t seem to be outstanding in any way; in fact, he could be the worst.
In contrast, Yuwen Kangshi seed to be the most outstanding in every way.
So he was particularly curious about what ultimately led Old Master Yu Wen to choose Yuwen Kangli.
“Actually, at the beginning, Yuwen Kangli was very outstanding; it was just later that his temper inexplicably beca irritable.”
Old Master Yu Wen sighed, “At that ti, they were all young, and it was really hard to see through them, but the family could not be without an heir for even a day, so I let Yuwen Kangli occupy the position of heir first. As the eldest grandson of the family, he bore a responsibility others could not replace.”
“And then?”
Chu Ge asked again, what exactly happened to cause such a drastic change in Yuwen Kangli?
“Afterward, Yuwen Kangli’s temper beca increasingly irritable, flying into a rage at the slightest thing, with his grades dropping day by day, making a ss of everything. In contrast, Yuwen Kangshi, who was a dull child who wouldn’t even speak at three years old, suddenly beca exceptionally smart, winning praise from people around him. But I always felt that if he continued like this, he would beco increasingly dangerous.”
Though Chu Ge didn’t know where Old Master Yu Wen’s feeling ca from, it proved to be correct.
“I guess it’s because I didn’t fulfill my initial promise? I said I would pass the position of heir to whoever was the most outstanding, but in the end, I let Yuwen Kangli occupy it all the ti.”
But now, he didn’t regret his decision at the ti because he found that Yuwen Kangshi wasn’t suitable for the position of Family Head.
He seed smart but only in intelligence; in magnanimity and breadth of heart, he was far inferior to Lao Liu.
Being clever in person without character as a human, if such a person were given paramount power, he would definitely do unexpected and dangerous things.
Even now, before he officially beca the Family Head, he has begun scheming to eliminate dissidents.
Framing Yuwen Kangli for imprisonnt, directly killing the Housekeeper—if it was in the past, he wouldn’t have believed these things were done by Yuwen Kangshi under any circumstances!
“Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Chu Ge looked at Old Master Yu Wen’s face full of worry, comforting him: “Nor underestimate a person’s greed for desire.”
Old Master Yu Wen paused, then smiled sowhat embarrassedly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Chu; as people age, they tend to get sentintal.”
He breathed deeply, gathering all those negative emotions inside.
Now was not the ti for him to reminisce and grieve, as there was still danger outside that hadn’t been eradicated, and he couldn’t let his guard down.
Old Master Yu Wen quickly gathered his emotions and looked up at Chu Ge, asking curiously, “Mr. Chu, what do you plan to do next?”
