"Since House Pi chose to work with House Xiao, naturally we won't leave you guys alone. Plus, you guys were doing this for House Pi's money- now that something happened, we can't just walk away!" Zhishan waved his hand, telling Xiao Ji not to worry.
Zhishan was a scheming man, or else he wouldn't be the first heir of House Pi. As far as he was concerned, what the Xiao family did pissed him off, but they couldn't let go of the Xiao family right now. If they really did leave the Xiao family alone, it'd be a huge blow to House Pi's reputation!
People worked for you, and if you left them alone after something happened, who would work for you in the future? House Pi's reputation would be tarnished, and they wouldn't be able to earn money in the common world- naturally, Zhishan wouldn't do anything that would disappoint the Xiao family.
"Haha, big bro, you're worrying too much- Master Pi isn't that kind of person. If he didn't want to care about us, he wouldn't be sitting here! " Xiao Ben laughed, praising Zhishan. He and Xiao Ji had been brothers for so many years, and they had great teamwork. With the two of them working together, they tied House Pi and Xiao family together.
Zhishan, of course, knew what the Xiao family brothers were up to. He just didn't want to expose them, smiling faintly. "But, that Er Goudan really isn't easy to mess with. You guys stay away from him and don't mess with him, and don't even think about touching House Chu. All in all, House Pi is dead, and the grudge is over. This was caused by Jin Wudi, and it doesn't have much to do with us. If we don't do anything, Lin Yi probably won't come looking for trouble anymore!"
"That's true." Xiao Ji nodded. This time, he didn't dare think about anything anymore. Even House Pi gave in, how many brains did he have?
"Anyways, be careful when you do business- with your Xiao family's influence in the common world and House Pi's name, you don't have to do anything illegal to earn money. Don't think of anything bad in the future. Look at House Yu's business, isn't it doing well too?" Zhishan stated his standpoint.
The noble houses weren't part of the rules, but Zhishan didn't want any more trouble, especially with Lin Yi and Er Goudan. If he pissed them off, it wouldn't be worth it.
"Yes! You're right, Young Master Pi. "Xiao Ben nodded and said," In the future, let's do some proper business. "
"It's good that you know. Alright then, I'll go back first. In a few days, House Pi will send another master over, but I'll restrict him as well. He can only do anything if his business is affected. As for business, he's forbidden from participating!" Zhishan said.
House Pi had quite a lot of masters, but they couldn't afford to lose so much. If this one died, it'd be a huge loss for House Pi.
"Um … Young Master Pi, this time, can you send us an Earth class …" Xiao Ji looked at the Earth class, his heart itching. If House Xiao had an Earth class, they'd be stronger than House Yu. They'd become the number one noble house in the upcoming noble house meeting!
Many people were like that- they didn't know how to be satisfied. Xiao Ji was still hoping that House Pi wouldn't give up on Xiao family, but now, he wanted someone stronger.
"Earth class definitely won't do." Zhishan waved his hand, "Hidden noble houses have their own rules, and there's an arbitration association that keeps the balance. Jin Wudi came out of seclusion, but he had to apply for it. We, House Pi, may be investigating Uncle Pi's death and interfering with the common world's business, but our goal is to make money, different from Jin Wudi. House Pi should be more discreet, and as long as they don't cause us trouble, we won't apply for anything …"
"I see …" Xiao Ji was a little disappointed, "Then he's still a Mystic?"
"Yes, a Mystic in the common world- as long as you don't mess with people like Lin Yi and Er Goudan, you'd be considered one of the top." Zhishan said, "I'll go back- I still need to report what happened here to my father."
"Master Pi, then tell me- that Goudan Master was able to kill an Earth class- what class is he? How did he get permission to appear here? "Xiao Ben asked curiously.
"There are even stronger existences above the hidden noble houses that you don't know about- it's best if you don't know about- knowing too much isn't necessarily a good thing." Zhishan said.
"Yes …" Xiao Ben's face turned serious, not daring to keep asking as he sent Zhishan out of Xiao family.
After leaving Xiao family, Zhishan didn't go straight back to House Pi. Instead, he found a place with no one around and called his father, Pi Jiake.
"Zhishan, how's the situation over there? Is Lin Yi dead? "Jiake asked.
"Father, there's been an accident, Jin Wudi was killed …" Zhishan said.
"What? Beaten to death? What happened? Who killed him? "Pi Jiake was taken aback and quickly asked.
Zhishan told his father everything that happened in detail, not hiding anything. He even told his father about how he apologized to Goudan.
"Zhishan, you did the right thing! Lowering your head now is the right- a man knows when to yield and when to stand tall. If it's really like what you said, then there's a big problem here … That Lin Yi's follower is already this strong, he's probably from the ancient level … "Jiake said seriously," If that's the case, then House Pi can't mess with him. "
"Yeah, father- but the weird thing is, when this Goudan attacked, I didn't feel any energy ripples from him- it's like he's not a practitioner!" This was what Zhishan found strange.
"Oh? No energy ripples? How is that possible? Whether it's a spiritual practitioner or a physical practitioner, they all show their strength when they attack. It's impossible to hide it even if they wanted to, so why can't you feel it? "Jiake paused.
"That's the only thing I'm confused about," Zhishan said.
"Here, you look around stealthily. With your skills, that Goudan shouldn't be able to sense you. You're a physical practitioner, and you're good at hiding your presence- you look around and see if you can find any clues!" Jiake said.
"Alright- I haven't left anymore- I'll go take a look," Zhishan nodded.
