Chapter 203 Sudden Concern
Activating her Eye of Truth, Tian Zhenzhen deliberately asked:
"Is what you just said true? You're telling me such important news, you can't be doing me a good deed, can you? Tell me your request."
Under the watchful eye of reality, Kong Wei did not notice anything amiss.
"Everything I said is true. I want to cooperate with you because I value your capabilities."
Six hundred years have passed since the last visit. Over the years, the four families have appeared to be at peace and have even intermarried, but in reality, the struggles have always existed.
If you have the ability, everyone wants to dominate the market, rather than share it with three other companies.
Now is the best opportunity to open a shop, as all four families want to compete for the inheritance of a realm beyond the Grandmaster level.
To seize the inheritance, all four families will send their forces, and may even join forces with outsiders. Such an opportunity is too rare, and I also want to compete for it.
"Of course, I know that with my abilities, it is impossible for me to acquire it. My cooperation with you is simply to share this legacy with you."
Without realizing it, Kong Wei had revealed his true feelings. He didn't notice anything amiss, attributing it all to his excessive desire to succeed.
"Ha, what makes you think I'd help you? You're telling me such important information, aren't you afraid I'll keep it all to myself?" Tian Zhenzhen understood Kong Wei's intentions.
Don't listen to his nice words about sharing; he's just using her as a tool.
She has the ability; why should she cooperate with him?
“I know you are very strong, but the summoning ritual requires the blood essence of our four great families to draw special patterns in order to summon the true inheritance.”
No matter how strong you are, it's difficult to force them to use their blood essence to draw the formation.
"But I can provide you with the opportunity to seize the opportunity after the summons."
Upon hearing this, Tian Zhenzhen realized that she might have overlooked something.
However, her path in martial arts is different from theirs, so it doesn't matter whether she goes or not.
However, she was still very interested in this mysterious inheritance, which had managed to escape her search.
Considering the task of dealing with the Lei family, it's not advisable to act prematurely. We should wait until this so-called inheritance appears before completing the task.
Once she obtains the inheritance, she might be able to easily complete the task of subduing the Lei family.
After thinking it over, Tian Zhenzhen finally agreed to Kong Wei's request.
"Okay, I can grant your request, but..."
At this point, Tian Zhenzhen deliberately paused.
"Miss Tian, just tell me what you want. As long as it makes me stronger and helps me obtain the inheritance, I, Kong Wei, am willing to do anything for you."
Kong Weiming is the son of the Kong family patriarch. His talent, while not exceptional, is not bad either.
Logically speaking, his position should not be low.
But that wasn't the case; he didn't know if his mother had died in childbirth.
That's why he was disliked by his elder brother and father.
He was also forbidden from mentioning his mother's name.
He had his doubts, but he couldn't find the answers.
For many years, he has not been close to his father and elder brother, as if there is something between them.
He didn't want to live his life in a daze, and he wanted to seize every opportunity.
"If you become my subordinate, training you is no problem at all."
Tian Zhenzhen didn't want to be a stepping stone for others; as her power grew, she would need even more talented people.
Her base of operations is no longer in Beijing, so she naturally needs someone to manage things after she leaves.
Although Kong Wei's strength is not great, he has a gambling potential and is willing to take a gamble. Such people are usually more courageous, and he may be a promising talent if trained.
Kong Wei agreed without much thought, because he had no other choice.
After Kong Wei and Tian Zhenzhen finished discussing their plans, they returned to the Kong family home first.
He had just returned home when he was summoned, told that the head of the family was looking for him.
When he heard that his father was looking for him, Kong Wei felt not joy but rather unease.
He didn't know what was wrong with him lately, but he always felt that a crisis was approaching him.
He went to the room where Kong Xiangtian was, and his older brother Kong Yingjie was also there.
The difference in treatment is evident even in their names.
His eldest brother is Yingjie, who represents his father's high hopes for him.
For him, it's all about danger, and he still doesn't understand the meaning of his name.
Upon his arrival, the father and son, who had been chatting animatedly, both changed their expressions.
Seeing his arrival was like seeing an enemy; he had never experienced the warmth of family life.
He called out to the two men, "Dad and Big Brother."
Kong Yingjie glanced at him briefly, then ignored him completely, as if he were invisible.
When he was a child, Kong Wei also wanted to get closer to his older brother. Although there was a twenty-year age gap between them, Kong Wei still naturally wanted to get close to him when he was a child.
But he could never forget the look of disgust that flashed in his older brother's eyes when he looked at him.
What finally made him stop was that he simply couldn't understand why he should be blamed for his mother's difficult childbirth.
Why bring him into the world in the first place?
Over time, his heart grew cold.
Seeing how happy they were just moments ago, and then how indifferent they became when he arrived, the contrast still made Kong Wei uncomfortable.
However, he does not regret his choice today.
"You've arrived. The opening of the secret realm is just around the corner. Things haven't been peaceful lately, so you shouldn't go out anymore."
Kong Wei was not fooled by Kong Xiangtian's concerned words.
Because Kong Xiangtian had never truly cared about him, his words only made him more suspicious.
They were just pretending to care; what they really wanted was to keep him from going out.
Why won't they let him go out? What is the reason for this?
Now was not the time for him to think, so Kong Wei readily agreed.
"Yes, Father."
"If there's nothing else, you can leave."
After explaining the situation, Kong Xiangtian told him to leave immediately, refusing to say another word to him.
Kong Wei was used to it, but he felt that his father was making a mountain out of a molehill by saying such a thing to him.
After everyone left, Kong Yingjie spoke.
“Dad, what you just said was a bit too deliberate. Kong Wei is a very thoughtful person, and I’m afraid he already has some suspicions.”
"Hmph, so what if he has doubts? We've raised him all these years, it's time to reap the benefits." Kong Xiangtian was unconvinced, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.
