C109 antecedent (1/2)

Old Man Yang was still lying on the rattan chair with his eyes closed, as if he was already asleep. Yi Shu did not leave, he still stood respectfully by the side. He knew that this was Old Man Yang pondering over that decision, he could not leave until this decision was made.

After around seven to eight hours, Old Man Yang finally said to the Yi Shu, ”Go, pass my order that Yang Feng is officially the successor. Tell that brat that he should have time to come back, it's been so many years, it's time for me to meet my grandson!”

He didn't expect that Old Master Yang would make such a decision in the end. This made Yi Shu, who originally doted on Yang Feng, feel surprised, but at the same time, he was also deeply happy for him. Although the identity of the successor wasn't the final successor, it was still enough because after Yang Feng had this identity, the people from the Yang Family didn't dare to bully Yang Feng in public anymore.

Yi Shu looked at Old Man Yang who seemed to be asleep again, then left and passed this decision down to the entire Yang family. However, after walking out of the small courtyard, Yi Shu let out a soft sigh, the previous happiness had disappeared, and was replaced by deep helplessness.

As Old Man Yang's personal guard, Yi Shu had always been by Old Man Yang's side since he was young, so he was very clear about Old Man Yang's intentions and decisions. As for this decision, it was mostly to make use of Yang Feng and not to give him the identity of the Yang Family's successor, Yang Feng.

Back then, when Yang Feng's father, Yang Ming, was related to him by blood, he always liked to preach in front of others about what kind of girl he had gotten himself into, but once, it just so happened that Old Man Yang told him about how he had fun at the Xijiang Miao Zhai's place, how he met Yang Feng's mother, how he cheated Yang Feng's mother with his sweet words. Even when he left the Xijiang Miao Zhai, Yang Feng's mother had already gotten him his own child.

Thus, he told the Yi Shu and the rest to go to the Xijiang Miao Zhai to investigate. Although the Yi Shu and the rest couldn't enter the inner stronghold, they could still find out some things from the stronghold. In the end, they really did find out that the girl that Yang Ming swindled was actually the daughter of the Xijiang Miao Zhai's Patriarch!

This news made Old Man Yang extremely happy. He didn't think that Yang Ming, who only knew how to spend money and drink, would actually be able to do such a good thing, and this caused Old Man Yang's attitude towards Yang Ming to improve significantly, causing Yang Ming to be a little confused at that time.

The reason that Old Man Yang was so happy was because he finally had the chance to contact the Xijiang Miao Zhai! Old Man Yang's ambition had always been great. Although the Yang family's power controlled the northern part of China, he wasn't satisfied at all and still wanted to expand the Yang family's power.

Most of the forces in the northwest of China were controlled by the Ming Dinomination, but the powers of the Ming Dinomination were not any weaker than the Yang family. It would not be easy to steal territory from the Ming Dinomination, and only the Southwest of China, where the Yang family had the chance to expand its influence! Although the southwest of China was an inland area, it was rich in goods and materials and had a lot of profit margin.

However, Old Man Yang did not expect that the few times he sent people to develop their forces in the Southwest of China would all end up failing. The people he sent either lost contact with them once they left, or even came back alive, but they were poisoned and died soon after. This made Old Man Yang extremely angry, and sent Yi Shu and the rest to investigate the powers in the Southwest.

Not only was there a portion of the Ming Dinomination's power in the Southwest of China, there was also the power of the Xijiang Miao Zhai. Among them, the Tang Sect which held a position in the ancient martial arts family of China was also the power of the Xijiang Miao Zhai. This news shocked Old Man Yang, he didn't expect the waters of the Southwest to be so deep!

The Tang Sect being proficient in using poison was something the entire ancient martial arts families in China knew. The Xijiang Miao Zhai being proficient in even more terrifying Gu, and their poison techniques and Gu techniques were all mysterious and unfathomable, making it hard to guard against!

When this news came, it made Old Man Yang once want to give up on developing his power in the Southwest region, but the extremely inflated ambition made him unable to stop. Thus, he sent people to contact the people of the Xijiang Miao Zhai, wanting to work with them to control the power in the Southwest region, and also to work together to drive the power of the Ming Dinomination out of the Southwest region. However, all of them failed! From the beginning to the end, Xijiang Miao Zhai didn't pay attention to the Yang family, she didn't even see the people sent by the Yang family, and directly refused all their requests.
