Kong Shuyuan looked at Xu Yang with curiosity, wondering if a genius who had repeatedly rejected other families' recruitment offers due to marriage arrangements would now abandon his principles under Huo Xiaochen's pressure.
"As expected of a Thousand-Year-Old Noble Family!" Xu Yang thought with a sense of awe.
Overnight, the Kong family had sent someone all the way to Fufeng County to dig up everything about his past, learning about many of his previous deeds.
"Is a marriage alliance absolutely necessary? I can guarantee that even without it, I will loyally serve the Kong family," Xu Yang said, cupping his hands.
He had actually anticipated this. These large families were all cut from the same cloth; they would only feel reassured enough to nurture someone if a marriage alliance was involved. The main reason for this trip was that Xiong Wanhai had already spoken with the Kong family, making it impossible for him to refuse the invitation.
