Chapter 1779: Chapter 1777-different thoughts

This time, regardless of whether there were estrangement between the hidden houses or not, all of them had sent their people, and all of them were the heads of their own houses, the old heads of their houses!

These old masters had come personally to discuss an important matter! These hidden houses were mostly competitors, but when it came to common interests, they would work together.

“Old man Zhao, I didn’t think you’d be Sky Class early phase already. I remember that you were still Earth Class late phase peak when I asked Chen to celebrate your birthday last year, right?” The elder looked at his in-law in surprise-he didn’t think that he’d be able to reach the peak in less than a year, becoming a Sky Class master!

“Hahahaha, am I really that useless in your eyes? What, are you feeling uncomfortable now that I’ve become a Sky Class?” Old Zhao laughed,”your in-law is already a Sky Class master. How can I not work hard?”

“That’s true! Our Yu and Zhao families have always been close, and I’m naturally happy that your Zhao family is thriving!” The elder then turned to Zhao Guangyin, who was standing behind old Zhao,”Guangyin, I heard from Xiaojin that you’re going to bring back an illegitimate child? What was going on? It’s okay for a man to be a bit dissolute, but don’t cause family conflicts because of this, okay?”

Guangyin’s face reddened-the elder may have just said it in a light tone, but for a Sky Class to ask about it meant that it wasn’t a small matter. It meant that the elder wasn’t happy with what he did!

With that in mind, Zhao Guangyin could only brace himself and say,””Father-in-law, this matter was decided by our Grand Elder, not guangyin …”

He could only push all the blame onto old master Zhao-in fact, it was the old man’s decision, and now that both old master Zhao and house Yu’s elder were Sky Class Masters, there was no way they’d fall out over something like this!

In the hidden houses, once an elder became a Sky Class master, they would all call him “old master” because the lifespan of a Sky Class master would be extended. After becoming a Sky Class master, they would be able to protect the house for at least another hundred years, so calling him “old master” wasn’t too much!

“This is my idea!” Zhao Yu’s father took over the matter.”No matter what, he’s still a child of house Zhao-it’s not a big deal to bring him back while I’m in the middle of breaking through to Sky Class.”

The elder of house Yu nodded and didn’t say anything else. Although his daughter was a little unhappy about this, this was house Zhao’s business after all. Since the old man had said so, he naturally couldn’t say anything more.

Of course, if the old man hadn’t broken through to Sky Class, then it would be a different story. A Sky Class master was like a Guardian to a hidden house-as long as they had a Sky Class master, and the house wasn’t stupid enough to mess with a stronger power, then the house wouldn’t fall for the next hundred years.

However, if some of the young people in the family were so confident that they had no brains and provoked an even more powerful force, then it would be a different story!

However, a hidden house with a Sky Class master was already on par with an ancient sect-even the ancient sects that only had one or two Sky Class Masters would have to think twice before making a move on a hidden house with a Sky Class master!

So for old Zhao to break through into Sky Class, it was both a good and bad thing for the elder of house Yu! The good thing was that house Yu and house Zhao were allies, but the bad thing was that house Yu wouldn’t be able to control house Zhao anymore!

House Yu’s old elder’s original plan was to wait for Yu Xiaojin and Zhao Guangyin’s child to grow up and take over house Zhao. At that time, with the old elder as a grandfather, he could more or less interfere with the decisions of house Zhao. But now that the old elder was there, even if his grandson became the head of the house, he couldn’t make big decisions on his own!

Just like house Yu’s Yu Xiaochen, when it came to house Yu’s own benefits, they had to ask the elder.

House Zhao’s breaking into Sky Class was something the other hidden house heads were curious about as well-they didn’t know what happened to their old man this year, but it wasn’t something they should be asking about. They themselves didn’t even tell others how they broke into Sky Class, and they couldn’t expect anyone to tell them.

“Congratulations, old friend Zhao!” This time, it was the elder of house Pi who spoke. He was a Sky Class as well, but a physical Sky Class-breaking through to Sky Class as a physical practitioner was a rare thing!

“Congratulations!” The old man from the you family spoke. Although he mainly practiced alchemy as a supplement, no one could underestimate his Sky Class strength and his control of alchemy fire! When a refiner reached the Sky Class, even if they didn’t have any special martial arts, just the killer moves produced by the alchemy fire was enough to give people a headache!

Unless it was a water, ice, or snow element cultivator who could suppress the fire element, the other cultivators might not even be able to get close before their clothes were burned.

Of course, other than house Yu’s elder, the other hidden house elders were all Sky Class Masters. The reason why the Council was able to threaten them back then was because house Yu only had One Sky Class master, the elder. They were all alone, and the Council had the power to completely suppress them!

But these years, with the disappearance of the founder of the Hidden House Arbitration Council, and the disappearance of the chief elder, these Sky Class elders were starting to get restless. They didn’t want to be controlled by the Hidden House Arbitration Council anymore, and so they had this hidden house meeting!

However, the old men were all smart people-they weren’t stupid. They had the same goal this time, but none of them wanted to be the one to stand out. After all, what if the great elder of the Hidden House Council was still here? What if he came back to punish the Hidden House for breaking the rules?

Therefore, the old men sat around the conference table and were a little silent.

“In-law, you were the second elder of the Hidden House Council, but now that the Grand Elder isn’t here, can you say something?” Old Zhao saw that everyone was silent, so he pondered for a moment and said,”

At the moment, the strongest hidden houses were still the Hidden House Yu and hidden house you. The Hidden House Yu had two Sky Class Masters, and the Hidden House you might only have One Sky Class master on the surface, but who knew how many Sky Class diners they had in the dark?
