Chapter 2393 — The Kang Family's Surprise
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
At once, Divine Doctor Kang summoned every member of the family and convened a Kang family council!
When Divine Doctor Kang laid out Kang Jingming's current situation before Kang Guifeng, Kang Cuipu, and Kang Jinglong, the three of them were somewhat dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe! They had never imagined that Kang Jingming had actually been chosen by the Xuandan Sect to go and do work for them!
This was a glory of the highest order! No one in the Kang family was a fool. The Hidden You family, a pill-refining clan of such power, had never had a single member chosen by the Xuandan Sect to help—yet Kang Jingming had been taken away to help. That told them one thing: the help required must be no simple matter, and Kang Jingming alone was capable of providing it!
So every member of the Kang family understood one thing clearly: the Kang family's rise to glory was at hand! With an ancient sect behind them, it was not even impossible for the Kang family to be upgraded directly to a Hidden family!
"Although Zhaoming didn't say so outright this time, his hints were obvious enough. He is highly valued in the Xuandan Sect and is learning the art of pill refinement under the Sect's Fifth Elder. He said only that he was helping the Xuandan Sect with a matter and didn't specify what—but his status as the Fifth Elder's disciple alone is enough to make his position illustrious beyond compare!" Divine Doctor Kang said. "Think about it, everyone—even the Hidden You family has never enjoyed such treatment, yet Zhaoming has achieved it. We in the Kang family truly need to work hard and plan our path ahead carefully!"
"Yes, who would have thought it—that boy Zhaoming has brought us surprise after surprise lately!" Kang Guifeng said, his feelings somewhat complicated—envy and joy together, but more than anything, a quiet breath of relief in his heart!
Kang Jingming had gone to the Xuandan Sect and become a disciple there; it was essentially impossible that he would ever return to the Kang family. The tiny Kang family, even if upgraded to a Hidden family, would mean nothing to Kang Jingming—his position in the Xuandan Sect and the position of Kang family head were two entirely different concepts!
And so, Kang Jingming could absolutely never again contend with Kang Jinglong for the position of family head—that at least was a good thing!
Kang Jinglong had naturally worked this out as well. He thought to himself that Kang Jingming's luck was simply explosive—here he was, working so hard, and yet in the future he would still have to live at his mercy. Even as Kang family head, the whole Kang family would still have to defer to Kang Jingming!
"Grandfather, this is a great opportunity for our Kang family. If we handle it well, we can forge a connection with the Xuandan Sect, and becoming a Hidden family in one stroke is not impossible!" Kang Jinglong said, eager to try. Although he would still have to depend on Kang Jingming in the future, if he could become the young head of a Hidden family, that would be an entirely different thing from his current status.
"Zhaolong is right. Our pharmaceutical company has taken quite a hit lately, but if we can forge a connection with the Xuandan Sect and, through the Sect's channels, act like the Hidden You family as an agent for selling pills and rare treasures, then money will pour in. The profits those pharmaceutical companies made before really were small change," Divine Doctor Kang nodded. "Guifeng, let's wind down the business of our Divine Doctor Kang Pharmaceutical Company—it hardly turns a profit these days anyway. Sell what we can. For a while now, our Kang family will plan carefully for the future!"
