"Fine. Ancestor Blood-Robe is about to come out of seclusion anyway. It'll do him good to get out, stretch his legs, and kill a few people—not a bad choice at all." Ancestor Huangquan pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"In that case, Wei Zhao will find it hard to escape death even if he wishes to!" Ancestor Gloom laughed a grim, sinister laugh.
The Xuandan Sect.
Having finalized his plan, Kang Jingming went to find Little Peach Blossom once again.
On the surface, Little Peach Blossom seemed to have noticed nothing amiss, still wearing the look of a girl eagerly looking forward to a future with Kang Jingming. In her heart, however, she was utterly disillusioned with the man.
"Brother Kang, you called Little Peach Blossom here—is that matter all settled? What do you need Little Peach Blossom to do?" Little Peach Blossom asked eagerly.
"It's like this: a very good opportunity has come up. I'm arranging for you to go to Doctor Guan's Pharmaceutical and become Kang Xiaofeng's secretary!" Kang Jingming said. "Kang Xiaofeng's previous secretary resigned, and the company is hiring right now. But it requires some knowledge of pharmacology—and you fit the bill perfectly. You have professional research in medicinal herbs and pharmacology, so I'm sure applying for this position will pose no difficulty for you at all! A secretary's work is just helping out and serving, and you're already the Young Sect Master's maidservant at the Xuandan Sect, so this sort of thing will be second nature to you!"
Kang Jingming had originally been racking his brains over how to get Little Peach Blossom over to Kang Xiaofeng's side and close to Kang Xiaofeng. He had meant to resort to some scheme or other, but then this opportunity had suddenly appeared before his eyes, delighting him beyond measure—it was as if it had been tailor-made for Little Peach Blossom!
In truth, Doctor Guan's Pharmaceutical had fallen into crisis some time ago, and the secretary at Kang Xiaofeng's side—someone hired through connections—had, owing to her poor judgment, decided that Doctor Guan's Pharmaceutical would never recover, and so submitted her resignation.
Because of the company's precarious situation, Kang Xiaofeng had not bothered to hire a new secretary—until the automatic first-grade medicinal cauldron from Liu Jinghan's side began selling like hotcakes, putting Doctor Guan's Pharmaceutical back on track. Only then, once Lai the Fatty and Kang Xiaofeng could finally catch their breath, did they begin recruiting anew to fill the posts vacated by employees who had left during the company's crisis—among them Kang Xiaofeng's secretary.
This handed Kang Jingming a perfect opportunity. Without the slightest effort, he could send Little Peach Blossom off, and he didn't even need to invent a story.
"All right, I'll go apply right away. But the Young Sect Master's side—how am I supposed to ask for leave?" Little Peach Blossom nodded hastily and asked, "And so, this way, I won't have to let myself be taken advantage of?"
"That won't do at all. Haven't you heard the saying? When the boss has business, the secretary does it; when he has none, he does the secretary. If you don't let yourself be taken advantage of, how will you get close to Kang Xiaofeng, make him trust you absolutely, and thereby steal the technical data for the automatic first-grade medicinal cauldron?" Kang Jingming shook his head. "It's fine, I won't hold it against you—consider it a sacrifice made on my behalf, Little Peach Blossom. Off you go, and don't worry!"
A wave of sorrow washed through Little Peach Blossom's heart. If Tian Chan had not opened her eyes to Kang Jingming's true, hideous face, she might well have been bewitched by him even now and believed every word he said!RS
