After settling all the affairs in the capital, Xiao Yufan finally decided it was time to set off. With several days of preparation, the secret network gradually infiltrated the north, and Huihuang (Brilliance) began to establish a fragile foothold there…
“No matter what you do, the Situ family will always offer you full support. The capital is not your final stage, and neither is the north!”
Before deciding to advance into the northern territories, Xiao Yufan had already informed his grandfather. Huihuang also carried the efforts of Old Master Situ, and pushing it to another peak was certainly something he longed to witness.
After settling all matters in the capital, Xiao Yufan finally decided to set out. After several days of preparation, the covert organization gradually infiltrated the north, and Brilliance also began to make a modest impact in the northern region…
“No matter what you do, the Situ family will fully support you. The capital is not your final stage, and neither is the north!”
When Xiao Yufan decided to venture into the north, he had already informed his grandfather. Brilliance also bore the mark of the old man’s efforts, and reaching another peak was undoubtedly something he longed to see.
“I know… there are some things I must face, and only the truly strong can stand at the summit. What I want is not just everything the Situ family has to offer!”
In front of his grandfather, Xiao Yufan had never been reserved, nor did he hide his inner fervor. If taking over Brilliance was initially just about inheriting the Situ family, then everything he was doing now was solely for the purpose of standing at the pinnacle…
“My grandson, Xiao Yufan, could never be ordinary. None of our lineage are mediocre!”
The old man seemed somewhat emotional. For some reason, when Xiao Yufan heard his grandfather say this, he suddenly thought of his father, the true helmsman of the Situ family. How could such a man appear ordinary?
“One day, I will no longer need anyone’s protection. I will rely on my own strength to safeguard those closest to me.”
“If… you encounter any problems in Linjiang or the north, you can contact your mother. I believe she should be able to resolve them…”
After a moment of hesitation, the old man seemed to recall something and spoke up. After a year of training, the king had returned, yet Xiao Yufan rarely set foot in the Situ family estate. It was clear that there were still unresolved issues in his heart…
“I will…” Xiao Yufan responded casually. Even though he didn’t know much about his parents, he was aware that his mother held a significant position in the north. Who could deny the power of a provincial governor?
In the ancient study, the old man’s eyes gleamed with a sharp light, and then he directly dialed another person’s number…
“Old man, what made you think of calling me…”
A somewhat weathered voice came from the other end of the line, indicating that the two had a good relationship. There weren’t many people who could speak so casually with the “Silver Fox of Commerce.”
“You think I’m like you, with nothing to do all day…”
Hearing the teasing from the other end, the old man could only shake his head helplessly. Over the years, that person’s temperament hadn’t changed a bit, but perhaps that was for the best. At least, this person’s concern for Xiao Yufan wouldn’t be lacking.
“One doesn’t visit the temple without a reason. Speak up, what do you need? I have a date with Granny Liu next door…”
“Yufan is about to enter the northern business scene. I suspect those young fellows won’t sit still. If he encounters any problems he can’t solve on his own, I hope you’ll step in and help him!”
The old man got straight to the point, leaving no room for ambiguity. The Situ family’s influence couldn’t provide the best protection for Brilliance across the entire north, but the person on the other end of the line could easily do so.
“That brat finally didn’t disappoint you. Don’t worry, in the north, how could I let him suffer? Besides, I’ve already met him, and he’s quite to my liking…”
After a pause, a hearty laugh came from the other end, and the old man chuckled along. This invisible protection over Brilliance and Xiao Yufan might soon propel him to the summit…
Facing his grandfather, Xiao Yufan had never felt restrained or hesitant, nor did he hide his inner passion. If initially taking over Huihuang had been merely about inheriting the Situ family legacy, now everything he did was solely for the sake of reaching the pinnacle…
“My grandson, Situ Lingyu, could never be ordinary. No one in our bloodline is mediocre!”
Old Master Situ appeared visibly excited. For some reason, when he heard these words from his grandfather, Xiao Yufan suddenly thought of his father. How could the true leader of the Situ family possibly appear so plain and unremarkable?
“One day, I won’t need anyone’s protection anymore. I will rely solely on my own strength to protect those closest to me!”
“If… you encounter any problems in Linjiang or the north, you can contact your mother. I believe she should be able to resolve them…”
After a moment’s hesitation, Old Master Situ seemed to recall something and spoke up. A year of trials had passed, and the king had returned triumphant, yet Xiao Yufan rarely stepped foot into the Situ family estate. It was clear he still bore emotional scars…
“I will…” Xiao Yufan casually replied. Even though he didn’t know much about his parents, he understood his mother held a prominent position in the north. After all, who could deny the influence of a provincial governor?
In the ancient, solemn study, Old Master Situ’s eyes gleamed sharply, and soon he directly dialed another person’s number…
“What’s this old man suddenly calling me for?”
A slightly aged voice came from the other end of the line. It was evident the two shared a close relationship. Few people dared to speak so casually with the “Silver Fox of Commerce.”
“Do you think I’m like you, with nothing better to do all day?”
Hearing the teasing tone from the other end, Old Master Situ could only shake his head helplessly. After so many years, that person’s character hadn’t changed in the slightest. But perhaps that was a good thing—at least that individual’s concern for Xiao Yufan wouldn’t be lacking.
“You wouldn’t call without reason. Out with it—what do you need? I still have an appointment with Old Lady Liu from next door…”
“Yufan is stepping into the business world in the north. I know those kids won’t stay quiet. I hope that if he runs into any problems he can’t solve himself, you’ll lend him a hand!”
Old Master Situ stated directly without any pretense. While the Situ family’s influence couldn’t fully protect Huihuang across the entire northern region, the person on the other end of the line was entirely capable of doing so.
“This brat finally lives up to expectations. Don’t worry, in the northern territories, how could I possibly let him suffer? Besides, I’ve already met him before, and frankly, I quite like the kid…”
After a pause, a hearty laugh came from the other end of the line. Old Master Situ smiled along, appreciating the invisible protection that this person could provide for both Huihuang and Xiao Yufan. It might very well propel Xiao Yufan to the peak much sooner than expected…
