Chapter 800 — Is There Really Anyone?

"Same as ever — stuck at the early Mystic tier, unable to advance. I had pinned all my hopes on little Kun, and who could have foreseen such a calamity falling out of thin air!" Yu Bide shook his head in grief.
"It seems that among our generation of the Yu family, the only one who can get into that place is Big Brother..." Yu Bifu sighed as well. "I doubt that in my lifetime I'll ever break through to the Earth tier..."
"Second Brother, then, in your view, little Kun's matter..." Yu Bide hesitated there, then lifted his head to look at Yu Bifu.
"Rest easy on that count. Little Kun is my nephew too. I've already sent men to Songshan City to investigate quietly — the moment there's any word, they'll report back at once!" Yu Bifu said.
"Then that's all we can do!" Yu Bide nodded.
Yu Bifu left Yu Bide's room with Yu Feng. Only after they had walked some distance did Yu Feng say, "Father, I told you before — Yu Kun is useless, let me go instead. And now look? Someone's crippled him! Still, it's not all bad. From now on, no one in this generation of the Yu family will be able to surpass me!"
"What nonsense are you spouting? He's your cousin — how is it 'not all bad'?" Yu Bifu snapped in sudden anger. "Can there ever be too many good hands in the Yu family?"
"Sorry..." Yu Feng was somewhat unconvinced. "He was weak to begin with. If I had gone myself, it would never have come to this! Whoever could wound Yu Kun without killing him is at most a peak late Yellow tier expert, and I'm already at the peak of the early Mystic tier. With strength like that, I could walk sideways through the mundane world!"
"You'd do well to remember the saying: there's always a higher mountain, always a higher heaven!" Yu Bifu glared at his son.
"I know that, but all those formidable people never show themselves in the mundane world anymore!" Yu Feng took not the slightest notice of his father's words. Among the younger generation of the Yu family he was the finest, and out in the world he was a tyrant who strode roughshod over all — even the heads of the other great clans could not match his strength. How could a young man like him not be cocky?

Wei Zhao had no wish to interfere in the demolition of the shantytown, but his very presence had still led Li Cihua to raise the compensation offer. Li Cihua did not want to either, but he was afraid Wei Zhao would make trouble.
Xiaofen's family smoothly received a demolition payout of a hundred and eighty thousand yuan — on the high side. As for the smashed appliances and furniture, they weren't worth even a thousand yuan, so they simply let them go.
Once the money was in hand, Xiaofen's mother's face split into a broad grin. Altogether, the family now had six hundred and eighty thousand yuan — more than enough for a big apartment. Her mind began to work, and she set her sights on buying a house.
"***, could you talk to Wei Zhao and have him take us to look at some apartments?" Xiaofen's mother said in a low voice to Kang ***. By now she already regarded Kang *** as her son-in-law. "I hear he knows the developer — could he get us a discount?"
"I'll ask, then..." Kang *** knew this would put Wei Zhao out, but it was a request from Xiaofen's mother — surely he could not simply ignore it?
So Kang *** went to find Wei Zhao and mentioned the favor Xiaofen's mother had asked of him. Wei Zhao agreed without a moment's thought; he had long since promised Tang Zhi he would do this.
Wei Zhao phoned Mama Tang, and then phoned Tang Zhi as well. Mama Tang's new apartment had only just come into her hands and she was thrilled with it; she was going today to check on the renovation's progress, and when she heard Wei Zhao was coming too, she was naturally glad to have him along.
