Chapter 2949: Chapter 2947-taking the initiative

Lin Yi was shocked! He realized that he couldn’t even fight Zhao Qibing anymore! Although Lin Yi’s body was considered strong among normal people, he had no way of fighting back against an Earth Class master like Zhao Qibing.

Qikun was completely stunned-he never would’ve thought that his Grandpa was lying to him, always! Her grandfather had no intention of calling Lin Yi his boss at all. He wanted her to be the head of the house and wanted her to be on good terms with Lin Yi. All of this was fake! He was just using her!

However, qikun only had his head lowered-he wasn’t the impulsive Zhao qikun from before. After the house arrest, he’d become much more cunning and wouldn’t do anything reckless.

Qikun was thinking about how to solve this problem! With his strength, even if he fell out with old master Zhao, it would be useless. Other than throwing his life in vain, he would be of no use.

However, Lin Yi couldn’t use his strength now. He was like a fish on the chopping block. Even Zhao Qibing could easily control Lin Yi. It was impossible to expect Lin Yi to turn the tables!

“Qitan, what do you think?” Qikun didn’t say anything, but old Zhao asked with a half-smile.

“Grandpa, as the heir to the Hidden House Zhao, qitan naturally has to put the house’s interests first. Grandpa’s decision is qitan’s decision!” Qikun said.

“Ha?” Qibing heard what qikun said and thought to himself-did he lose his mind? At a time like this, can’t you tell it’s an act? You still want to be the young master?

However, just as Qibing was about to say something, he was interrupted by a look from his father! Old Zhao looked at qikun, interested,””Oh? That means, for the sake of house Zhao’s hidden benefits, you can kill Lin Yi?”

“Naturally!” Qikun said firmly,”house Zhao’s blood flows in my veins-I’m a child of house Zhao!” Grandpa, although I’m a little uncomfortable with you using me to set Lin Yi up, I understand that you want to kill him, so I’ve decided to stand on your side!”

“Is this what you really think?” Old Zhao didn’t expect qikun to break up with Lin Yi like this. This was too dramatic!

“I know, Grandpa, you can’t pass the position of heir to the house to me with just a third-level pill, but I can’t deny that I’ve started at the same level as Zhao Qibing. Although he’s stronger than me after taking the pill, I’ve been to the test twice, and I have more experience than him. I also have Zhao qijiu, an unknown helper, so I’m not weaker than him, and I have the right to compete!” Qikun said slowly, his words logical and reasonable.”Grandpa, I’m just asking you to give me a fair chance to compete!”

“Haha, of course you can!” Old Zhao suddenly laughed.”It’s good that you think that way. We hidden houses follow the survival of the fittest rule. Competition is the only way to motivate you!”

“Grandpa …” Qibing’s face changed-he didn’t think that the old man would agree to qikun’s request, but that wasn’t what he said before!

“Qibing, I know what you’re thinking, but qitan’s right-you and him started from the same starting point, and you’ve both contributed to the Hidden House Zhao-you can’t ask others to not compete with you!” Old Zhao said.

“Yes …” Zhao Qibing said helplessly. Although he didn’t know why his father changed his mind at the last minute, he couldn’t disobey him now. He could only nod.

Lin Yi was a bit angry at qikun’s sudden change, but after calming down, he realized that there was something wrong! It seemed like qikun didn’t know what happened today-he was kept in the dark, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to do that.

Qikun, on the other hand, had betrayed them and joined the Hidden House Zhao’s side-it was a little weird. Lin Yi knew what kind of person qikun was, and there had to be some other reason for the current situation.

And so, Lin Yi didn’t say anything and just watched. What happened today was a blessing, not a disaster. If it was a disaster, he couldn’t avoid it. Since he was already poisoned, Lin Yi had no other choice but to get through this first.

“Qitan, although Grandpa thinks that you’re speaking the truth, in order to test you and make you truly qualified to be the heir of the Hidden House Zhao, you and Qibing should get rid of Lin Yi together!” Old Zhao said with a look.

This was the old man’s true goal-he wanted qikun to kill Lin Yi, and Lin Yi would probably be in extreme pain, right? How cruel it was to see his own little brother betray him and charge at him with a butcher’s knife!

“No problem!” Qikun said readily.”Grandpa, did you really think I wanted to acknowledge him as my boss? I was forced to do that. You brought Zhao Qibing back to house Zhao and made him the first in line to the young master’s position, what could I do? In order to protect myself, I had to find another way and call Lin Yi my boss, but I still wanted to be the head of the Hidden House Zhao! Now that I have this opportunity, I must cherish it! So, there’s no need for Zhao Qibing to do anything, I can do it myself!”

“Oh? You? Alright, go kill Lin Yi then!” Old Zhao looked at qikun in surprise, but he still nodded.

“Yes, thank you for giving me this chance to wash away my shame, Grandpa!” Qikun cupped his fists happily, “I’ve wanted to kill Lin Yi for a long time now-I’m a disciple of a hidden house, it’s so embarrassing to call a freelancer my boss!”

Qikun’s words stunned Qibing-was this really Zhao qikun? Could it be that this was the real him, and the previous him was just an illusion? Wasn’t this Zhao qikun a little too scheming?

He’d been waiting for Lin Yi to become his boss, but he had no other choice. Was he planning to return to the Hidden House Zhao one day? With that thought, Qibing glanced at his Grandpa-the two had a tacit understanding-this side of qikun was too scary!

“Zhao qikun, very good, very good! No wonder I’ve always felt that your attitude towards me was a little pretentious. It was all an act! It seems that I was wrong about you!” Lin Yi looked at qikun and spoke.

Qikun paused, but then smiled coldly.”Hmph, what’s the use of knowing? Now that you’re already at death’s door, it’s no use talking!”
