Chapter 1835: Chapter 1830: Scheming Against Each Other

"Right!"

The two elder elders smiled lightly when they heard Cao Ying’s words.

Previously, they had already thought of various ways to plot against Hu Xiaobei.

So they have reasons to believe that Hu Xiaobei definitely won’t escape death this time.

After glancing at them, Cao Ying proactively said, "Alright, let’s discuss all the details once more to ensure everything is foolproof!"

"Alright!"

Upon seeing Cao Wei and the others nod quickly, Cao Ying suddenly thought of something.

Turning to look at Cao Wei, Cao Ying quickly spoke, "Cao Wei, you should head back to the family now."

A bit surprised by Cao Ying’s words, Cao Wei curiously asked, "Family Head, is there something you need me to do when I head back to the family?"

Giving a soft smile, Cao Ying shook his head, "No, I just want you to go back and rest. You’ve worked hard during this time."

Understanding he’s being sent away, Cao Wei quickly said, "Family Head, I’m... I’m not tired. I’m still young, this bit of work is really nothing for me."

"What? You won’t listen to me now?"

Feeling the coldness in the air, Cao Wei realized that Cao Ying was intent on killing him, "Of course not! Family Head, I’ll head back right away, I’ll head back right away."

"Alright! Rest well. If there’s a need for you in the future, I’ll still look for you!"

"Sure!"

Agreeing once more, Cao Wei turned away with a face full of resentment...

...

"Family Head, actually, having Cao Wei stay here to run errands wouldn’t be a bad idea!"

"Exactly!"

As Cao Wei left dejectedly, the two elders stepped forward to persuade softly.

They knew that Cao Wei was a promising young member of the younger generation, so he should be given more opportunities to gain experience.

"He falls far short; keeping him here would only cause trouble!"

Cao Ying heard their advice and rejected it without hesitation.

Truth be told, Cao Ying originally wanted to cultivate him, but now he had completely given up because Cao Wei was too shallow and not suited to be the Family Head.

Hearing Cao Ying’s unequivocal denial, they knew Cao Wei was absolutely out of favor...

...

"What the hell, at this moment you’re telling me to leave, what exactly does that mean!"

Having walked far away, Cao Wei shouted frantically...

Cao Wei wasn’t particularly sharp, but he knew that Cao Ying obviously had issues with him.

"Previously, I was planning to compete for the next Family Head, but now, it seems I have no chance because he has completely denied me!"

Knowing Cao Ying had issues with him, a million grass-mud horses rampaged in Cao Wei’s heart.

"No, I’ve put in so much, I absolutely can’t give up easily, can’t give up easily!"

Thinking this way, he suddenly thought of a plan to cut off the supply.

"This time, Cao Ying and the others will definitely leave with the family’s masters. So the family will be quite empty, and if I seize the opportunity, I should be able to take over completely. By then, I’ll call the shots for the whole family."

This thought arose in Cao Wei’s mind, and he furiously perfected the details...

"Basically, it’s almost done, but I still need to find more people to work with me on this!"

After refining all the details, he exhaled deeply, eyes calmly gazing into the distance...

...

"Master Xiaobei, you’re alone? Aren’t you calling a few more people to join you?"

The next day, when they arrived at the agreed location and saw only Hu Xiaobei appear, they were somewhat surprised.

They were truly astonished, because Hu Xiaobei was alone...

Hu Xiaobei smiled lightly, saying, "Sometimes too many people are a burden, so I came alone. I think that’s enough."

"True! Sometimes having too many people isn’t good, we only have three people!"

As they spoke, Cao Ying simply indicated the two elders beside him.

Hu Xiaobei glanced at them, slightly puzzled, "Why don’t I see that Cao Wei, isn’t he coming?"

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei mention that useless failure, Cao Ying found an excuse for him, "He was supposed to come, but unfortunately, some important matters came up for him to handle at the last minute."

"I see."

Hu Xiaobei didn’t dwell on it, instead, he calmly said, "It’s getting late, let’s set off!"

"Alright!"

Just like that, Hu Xiaobei and the three of them walked towards the dense forest ahead...

Five minutes later, Treasure-hunting Rabbit, Hei, and Xiaobai appeared there.

"The master has already left, let’s hurry and catch up, or we might fall behind!"

"Alright!"

With that said, they quickly followed...

A few minutes later, Lin Ya and others appeared...

"Sister, don’t worry, brother-in-law has super strength, absolutely nothing will happen."

"Right, sister!"

Jing and the others knew Lin Ya was very worried and quickly reassured her.

"I know, but I can’t help worrying!"

Lin Ya was more aware of Hu Xiaobei’s strength than anyone, but even so, she was especially concerned.

"Sister is completely in love!"

Hearing Lin Ya’s anxious words, they looked at each other.

Afterwards, they persuaded her a few more times.

After persuading her, they didn’t say much more.

They knew that unless Hu Xiaobei returned, no amount of persuasion would matter...

...

"Indeed, many people in the family have left, seems like they’ve gone to ambush Hu Xiaobei!"

Through his understanding, Cao Wei knew many people from the family had left...

Connecting all the information he knew, he made a quite accurate inference.

"Now is truly the perfect opportunity for cutting off the supply!"

While excitedly rubbing his hands together, he heard a knock on the door.

"Should be the helpers I’ve called!"

Thinking this way, he quickly opened the door, and upon opening it, his eyes lit up, "Housekeeper Cao, you’ve arrived."

"Yes! The Family Head has left, I can rest a bit! What is it that you called me for?"

With a soft smile, Cao Wei went straight to the point, "Housekeeper Cao, previously, I investigated some information, you seem to be dissatisfied with the old Family Head too!"

Originally smiling, Housekeeper Cao’s expression turned grim upon hearing this, "What do you mean by that?"

"Let’s not beat around the bush, I’ll be direct, this time Cao Ying and others went to our ancestral home and there’s a big chance they won’t return, so we should do something!"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, we can take control of the family ourselves! What do you think?"

"You want to rebel? Have you thought about the consequences?"

After looking at Housekeeper Cao for a moment, Cao Wei quickly said, "I’ve certainly considered it, the risk is great, but if it succeeds, the achievement will be extraordinary! Won’t you think about it?"

"I won’t consider it!"

Hearing Housekeeper Cao’s refusal, Cao Wei smiled lightly and spoke eloquently, "I know you’ve been playing small tricks within the family for years, wanting Cao Ying to step down quicker, but those small tricks are pointless, so I advise you to work with me because it’s the fastest way to see results."

Having looked at the eloquently speaking Cao Wei once, Housekeeper Cao directly mocked him disdainfully, "This indeed is the quickest way to see results, but it’s also the quickest way to die. I haven’t lived enough!"
