"Oh … Okay …" Xiaojin was helpless. Old Zhao had spoken, and as much as she didn't want to, there was nothing she could do. She just didn't understand- didn't Old Zhao always hate Guangyin's playfulness when he was young? He hated his illegitimate son as well, and Qibing hadn't been home all this time because the old man didn't support him- Guangyin didn't dare bring this up.
Xiaojin's eyes were full of suspicions as she watched the three of them leave. She was from a hidden house, after all, and wasn't an idiot. But since it was Old Zhao who had ordered it, she couldn't just ask him about it. She could only keep her suspicions for now.
"Qibing, when you see grandpa later, you have to be polite! Don't say anything you shouldn't!" Guangyin reminded Qibing at the entrance of Old Zhao's villa.
"Don't worry, father, I won't say anything," Qibing nodded and said cautiously.
Elder Bi had already gone in to inform Old Zhao, but came back quickly, "Young master, Qibing, the old head wants us to go in together!"
Right now, Qibing hadn't been acknowledged by Old Zhao yet, so Elder Bi called him by his name- once he did, he'd have to call him Master Bing! No matter how high Elder Bi's position was, he was still the head housekeeper of House Zhao, and he couldn't just ignore the rules.
Guangyin nodded and brought Qibing into the villa. This was Qibing's first time meeting Old Zhao, and he'd only met Guangyin before.
The white robed old man in front of him gave Qibing a lot of pressure, and he didn't dare look him in the eye. Luckily, he was in a wheelchair, and he had something to support him, so he wasn't too nervous.
"Qibing, right? Raise your head, let grandpa see you! " Old Zhao sighed softly when he saw Qibing. This kid was already so old, but this was his first time seeing him in person. He'd only seen pictures before.
"Yes, grandpa!" Qibing raised his head respectfully, "Please forgive me, grandpa, I can't stand up to greet you, my leg injury hasn't healed yet …"
"It's alright." Old Zhao waved his hand, not reacting to Qibing's politeness like Elder Bi did. Old Zhao knew Qibing better than Elder Bi- he knew that this grandson of his was a bit wild outside, so he didn't know if the politeness in front of him was fake or real, "I heard that you got a qi gathering pill?"
"Yes, Grandpa, it's here!" Zhao Qibing carefully took out the bottle from his pocket and held it with both hands, "I've never seen you before, grandpa, but I've always been thinking about you. So when I heard that House Yu's Yu Huoxing had this pill, I tried everything I could to get it for you, grandpa!"
"Lil Bi, have you checked the Qi Convergence Pill?" Lord Zhao asked.
"No, the young master and I didn't touch the pill, we wanted you to check it yourself!" Elder Bi said carefully.
One had to know that Elder Bi was an Earth class late phase peak, just one step away from Sky class. To avoid suspicion, he didn't touch the qi gathering pill. It wouldn't be good if it turned out to be fake and people suspected that he'd secretly swapped it out.
"Bring it here." Old Zhao nodded- he knew what Elder Bi was thinking, but after all these years, he trusted Elder Bi a lot. Every time he found a treasure, Elder Bi would give it to him first.
"Yes!" Guangyin took the bottle from Qibing's hands and gave it to Old Zhao.
Old Master Zhao took the small bottle and immediately became excited. Looking at the small bottle in his hand, Old Master Zhao took a deep breath and carefully opened it. He put it under his nose and sniffed it. His face immediately revealed a surprised expression: "Yes! This must be the Qi Convergence Pill! "
Old Man Zhao's breakthrough was imminent, so he had a deeper understanding of the Qi Gathering Pill than others. He had also searched everywhere for this kind of pill, so he had an unusual understanding of the appearance and smell of the pill. So with just one look, Old Man Zhao could basically confirm that this was a Qi Gathering Pill!
"It really is the Qi Convergence Pill!" Old Zhao stood up abruptly and looked at Qibing excitedly, "Haha! I didn't expect this, I really didn't expect this! Our House Zhao has so many capable people, and we've tried our best to find it, but it was the bastard of House Zhao who found it! I didn't even mention this to him, but he had the intention to do so! You guys take a look, Guangyin, you take a look too, this grandson is amazing! "
One couldn't blame Old Zhao for being so happy and excited. This was a spirit herb that had allowed him to step into the sky class, and it could be said that Zhao Qibing was the hero of House Zhao. No one could compare to what he had done.
"Grandpa, you're flattering me. Qibing may be a bastard, and he grew up among the commoners, but Qibing always remembers that he's a member of House Zhao, so House Zhao's business is Qibing's business! This is what Qibing should do- there's nothing to be proud of, "Qibing said respectfully.
"Not bad, you're not bad!" Old Zhao finally gave Qibing a positive evaluation, "You're thoughtful! This time, what reward do you want? Tell me, as long as I can do it, I'll promise you! "
Qibing heard his grandpa's words and was overjoyed! He wanted to be the heir of House Zhao, the future head of House Zhao, but he couldn't say this out loud. He wasn't an idiot, and his grandpa was just being polite. If he really said that he wanted to be the head of House Zhao, it'd be too arrogant. Even if his grandpa didn't say anything, he'd definitely not like him in the future, and he wouldn't be able to be the heir then.
So, Zhao Qibing's expression remained unperturbed. "I've said it before, this is something I should do, it's not a merit. Since it's something I should do, what reward do I still need?" Lin Yi nodded.
"Haha!" Old Zhao laughed, "You really don't want a reward? Say it, like you want to practice, or you want to return to House Zhao, or even raise you as the heir? "
