Chapter 1440 – Not A Problem

Plus, Uncle Zhu was happy for his own self too- the better off Qibing was, the better off he would be as his follower!

“The head of the house promised Qibing that he could be the next heir, but Qibing didn’t even blink at that- he only had one request, and that was to get you a meridian opening elixir!” Elder Bi said, “Lil’ Zhu- what do you think of your young master?”

“Ah!” Uncle Zhu didn’t expect that Qibing would even give up the position of heir just to get him a Meridian opening elixir- he was so touched his eyes watered up as he knelt on the floor, “Master Bing, just what did I do to deserve this? It’s not worth it, to give up the position as heir for me- it was not a wise move! Please, have Elder Bi take back the elixir, I don’t want it anymore!”

Although, Uncle Zhu was no idiot, either- he understood that if Qibing really did become the heir, there would be no way he would not have access to the elixir- he would’ve gotten it anyway! That would’ve been the best scenario!

“Uncle Zhu, what are you saying? Grandpa’s decisions can’t be changed all of a sudden like that!” Qibing jumped, surprised as he quickly scolded, “Take the pill, and eat it quickly- practitioning to your fullest would be the best payback for me!”

“Haha, lil’ Zhu, there’s no need for that- since the elixir has already come, it’s something that the head of the house gave out- there is no giving it back!” Elder Bi said, smiling at Uncle Zhu’s reaction, “Plus, the one who is to become the next heir must be a young man that has been prepared, not just someone who has made a contribution to the house! This child Qibing is a man of loyalty and love- this is what I like about him, and that’s why I took him as my disciple!

Uncle Zhu froze, instantly understanding what he was saying! He blamed himself for butting in. Elder Bi’s words were clear as the sky- even if Qibing had become the heir earlier, he wouldn’t have done a stable job. His loyalty to his men was what Elder Bi liked!

“Yes, Master Bing treats us well- I promise to give my fullest to practitioning, so I can be Master Bing’s right hand man when the time comes!” Uncle Zhu said seriously, cupping his fist. He understood Master Bing’s plan now- he made it seem like he gave up the position for loyalty, but this was all part of his plan. He knew that there were a lot of entry points into the game of running for heir, and by choosing this way, he gained the approval of the head of the house and Elder Bi, along with the elxir- this was like killing two birds with one stone.

“Yao Wang, I heard you made a large contribution this time as well?” Elder Bi said, turning to Yao Wang only to see many needles sticking out of his body, “What is this on your body? Is that accupuncture?”

“This…” Yao Wang didn’t dare lie, “These silver needles are all because of that kid Lin Yi!”

Yao Wang was filled with rage as he mentioned Lin Yi- he was a master of medicine after all, and what Lin Yi did to him was humiliating! He couldn’t even take the needles out!

“Lin Yi? Lin Yi did this to you? Then why don’t you pull them out?” Elder Bi paused- he had assumed that this was some sort of practitioning technique that Yao Wang was doing- it was actually Lin Yi’s doing!

“Lin Yi infused the needles with his qi and put them in me- I can’t pull them out because the qi would expand and explode when I do, destroying my meridians…” Yao Wang said, troubled, “My abilities are limited and I can’t get around it, so there is nothing I can do!”

“I thought it was some big problem!” ELder Bi smirked coldly, not thinking much of it, “In my eyes, these are just some small tactics! I’ll help you solve it- you’re Qibing’s man now, and that means you’re also under me- I have to also think about my reputation. What if people think that I’m incapabale?”

“Thank you for your aid, Elder Bi!” Yao Wang said, overjoyed- he wouldn’t have a problem anymore if Elder Bi helped. While Lin Yi’s methods may be difficult for a Mystic to deal with, it was nothing for the Earth class late phase peak Elder Bi!

“It’s not a problem!” Elder Bi said faintly, and with a quick gesture, he easily pulled the needles out without Yaowang feeling any pain. All the qi had been neutralized by Elder Bi!

Qibing, Cihua, and Yaowang were all silently shocked- Lin Yi’s all powerful methods were nothing in front of Elder Bi! Elder Bi wouldn’t need much more than a breath if he were to fight Lin Yi!

Plus, Lin Yi’s methods weren’t that mysterious in the first place, it was just something that lower leveled practitioners had trouble with. When facing someone like Elder Bi with his immensely strong qi, there wasn’t much to it, he could just neutralize the qi!

Yao Wang felt moved and tempted, “Elder Bi, that Lin Yi really is the bane of our House Zhao- if you were to make a move, Elder Bi, it’d be a quick and swift execution!”

“Yao Wang, my father and grandfather have their own concerns with this issue, don’t bring it up!” Qibing jumped- stopping him- he wanted to ask about this as well, but if his father and grandpa had yet to reach an agreement, then Elder Bi wouldn’t be able to act even if he were his shifu.

“It’s fine to talk about it- but I’m an Earth class of a hidden house- I have limitations set on me by the noble house committee, so I can’t just enter battle in the common world like this. If I were to do something, people could use it against me,” Elder Bi said, “Going against Lin Yi would have to be done using common world methods- as for me, I can’t do much about it.”

Yao Wang nodded helplessly- he understood the rules of the hidden house, but since he was from a hidden house himself he thought it would be fine for Elder Bi to make a move.

“Don’t worry, Yao Wang, with a shifu like Elder Bi, there would be nothing to worry about- when I have my succcess, wouldn’t it be better for me to take the revenge myself?” Qibing was now full of confidence- he was now of a different status, and his perspective was different as well!

He was thinking about small brawls and skirmishes before but now he was thinking about the big picture- he may have just been a bastard before, and was sort of in a disadvantage when it came to Lin Yi, but now that he was the next heir in line, or at least in the competition for being the next heir, he was allowed to say stuff like this!
