"This … Can I really ask for it? Can you really agree to anything, grandpa? "Qibing hesitated, pretending to be greedy.
"Of course! I'm a man of my word! " Disappointment flashed across Old Zhao's eyes as he saw Qibing's impatience. He'd thought that this bastard who grew up among the commoners was special, but he didn't think that he'd reveal his true self so quickly under his own temptation! But, no matter what, Zhao Qibing was the biggest contributor to House Zhao, so as long as he made a request, Old Zhao would have to agree. Not only did it involve Old Zhao's reputation, but it was also for others to see. Old Zhao wouldn't mistreat anyone who contributed to House Zhao!
"Then … I'll ask for something that's too much!" Qibing gritted his teeth, as if he'd made a huge decision.
"Say it." Old Zhao's face was a little unhappy, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Grandpa … I know that this request is a little too much, but I still have to say it!" Qibing said. "Grandpa, I want to ask for a meridian opening pill, I hope you can agree to it!"
"Ha?" Old Zhao paused- he thought that Qibing would say that he wanted to be the next head of House Zhao, and Old Zhao would agree. But he'd seen through Qibing's character, and if he didn't have any achievements in the future, it wouldn't be too late to cripple him then.
But he didn't think that Qibing would ask for a meridian opening pill! This pill was precious, but Qibing couldn't use it, could he? This was a medicine that could only be used when a practitioner's meridians were injured, and Qibing wasn't a practitioner, nor did he have any meridians injured. Why would he need it?
"I know that it's precious …" Qibing couldn't help but say in disappointment when he saw Old Zhao's surprise.
"You want it?" Old Master Zhao's expression was a little strange. "The Meridian Unblocking Pill is expensive, but compared to the Qi Gathering Pill, it's a world of difference. It's just that I'm a little curious. What do you want the Meridian Unblocking Pill for?"
"It's like this, Uncle Zhu is my underling, and he risked his life to protect me. That Lin Yi injured his meridians, and now he's fallen from mystic to golden class. I don't want him to be crippled just like that, so I'm asking for a meridian opening pill for him so that he can practice again!" Qibing said.
"Oh? Is that so? " Old Zhao was shocked by Qibing's words. He didn't think that Qibing would ask for the meridian opening pill for Uncle Zhu! It was such a good opportunity, Zhao Qibing could have asked for something he wanted, but he gave it to someone else! Elder Zhao couldn't help but reevaluate Zhao Qibing. It seemed that he had misjudged this kid before. This kid was a loyal and righteous person!
From helping him find the pills to asking for Uncle Zhu's medicine, all of these proved this point, causing Old Man Zhao to be filled with emotions! This grandson who grew up among the commoners was really not an ordinary person!
"Yes! I hope that you can fulfill my wish, grandpa! "Qibing nodded solemnly.
"Alright! I'll agree to this request of yours! But this request is something that House Zhao should do. Little Zhu is your underling, and my underling as well. Giving him the meridian opening pill is also House Zhao's responsibility! " Elder Zhao nodded. "That doesn't count. What else do you want? Tell me!"
This time, Elder Zhao really hoped that Qibing would ask for something. After all, Qibing was a great hero, and if he didn't ask for something, Elder Zhao would feel bad!
"But … Grandpa, I really don't have anything else to ask for …" Qibing thought about it and shook his head.
"Qibing, do you want to become a practitioner?" Elder Bi suddenly asked.
"That … Of course, but I'm past the best age for practicing, so I can't practice anymore …" Qibing smiled bitterly.
"That's fine. Since you've heard of the meridian opening pill and the qi gathering pill, then you should have heard of a pill called the foundation pill. It can change your meridians and bones, allowing you to step onto the path of practice!" With that, Elder Bi turned to Elder Zhao. "Head, Xiao Bi has a request. I want to take Qibing as my disciple, I hope that you can grant my request!"
"Oh? Xiao Bi, you want to take a disciple? Isn't that rare? There are so many disciples in the house who want to be your disciple, and you've never agreed to any of them. Now you're bringing it up yourself? "Elder Zhao looked at Elder Bi, surprised.
"Zhao Qibing's character is commendable, and he's done a lot for House Zhao. He meets my requirements for a disciple!" Elder Bi said.
"If that's the case, then Qibing can't ask for more. I'll make the decision on my own and let Qibing be your disciple!" Elder Zhao nodded. He was shocked. Elder Zhao didn't say who would be the heir in the third generation, but Elder Bi's attitude was very important!
He wanted to ascend to Sky class and then pursue the path of the heavens, so other than Zhao Guangyin's responsibility, Elder Bi was also in charge of the family. If Elder Bi had his eyes on a young disciple, then that young disciple would very likely become the next heir. It seemed like Qibing had a lot of hope!
But Elder Zhao didn't purposely stop him. Since Qibing was part of House Zhao's bloodline and had done a lot for House Zhao, and it seemed like he had a good character, then there was no problem for him to be the heir for now.
"Qibing, hurry up and greet your master!" Zhao Guangyin's emotions were very complicated, but he was also very happy! Qibing was his son, after all. Now that he was taken in as Elder Bi's disciple, his status would definitely skyrocket in the future. He might even become the new head of the house!
"Qibing greets master!" Zhao Qibing was so happy that he wanted to kneel down and kowtow, but there was something wrong with his legs. The moment he kneeled, he fell off the wheelchair and fell flat on his back, almost breaking his head!
"Don't kneel, it's not too late to kneel when your legs are healed!" Elder Bi was very happy to see Qibing's respect for his master. He smiled as he helped him up and put him back on the wheelchair.
"Alright, Qibing, you might not understand why Lil 'Bi took you in as a disciple, but I'll let Guangyin explain it to you later. I'm going into isolation, you have to work hard!" Elder Zhao nodded to Qibing. He couldn't wait to go into isolation.
