"Master Kun, Zhao Qibing must've been praised by the old man in some way, that's for sure. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become Elder Bi's disciple, and Elder Bi seems to want to train this disciple with all his heart …" Qijiu said, "That's why I said that if we'd waited a few years, it wouldn't have been us here …"
"You're saying that Elder Bi might've used those treasures and that secret technique?" Qikun blinked, "Isn't that something only the next head of the house can use?"
"What if Elder Bi and Elder Bi have already decided on Zhao Qibing as the next head of the house?" Qijiu asked.
"That …" Qikun hesitated, a fierce look in his eyes, "I don't care if Elder Bi can use that secret technique to level up Zhao Qibing, but I have to win this Ice Palace test! I have to enter the Ice Palace and become an outer disciple, maybe even an inner disciple! I have to become the head of House Zhao!"
"Shhh …" Qijiu jumped, "Master Kun, shhh! You can't just say stuff like that! The walls have ears!"
"So what if we say it here? The old man can't hear us, and no one knows us. "Qikun smiled," Do you know why the old man doesn't like my uncle? It's because he's too careful, isn't it? The old man doesn't like people like that- in order to become the head of the house, one has to have the magnanimity and spirit of a head- he can't do that. "
"That's true, but there's no harm in being careful!" Qijiu said, "Right, there were two cars parked downstairs, one with a local license plate and the other with a foreign one. The local one probably belongs to the owner of the inn, but we don't have to worry about it. The owner of the other car must be here for the Ice Palace test as well, I wonder which house or power he's representing?"
"Let's find a chance to get in touch tonight and see if we can become friends. Even if we can't work together, it'd be best if we don't become enemies!" Qikun said. "In the test, one more friend means one more path!"
"Young Master Tan is right, but how should we approach him? If it's too deliberate, it'll seem a bit pretentious. Noble houses aren't idiots. "Qijiu said.
"Let's see. It'd be best if we meet by chance, but if it doesn't work, we'll just go up to him and introduce ourselves. There's no need to pretend or anything, we all have the same goal anyways." Qikun said.
Qikun wanted to get in touch with Lin Yi, and on Lin Yi's side, naturally, wanted to get in touch with Qikun as well- he wanted to get more information about the Ice Palace test from them! Lin Yi didn't want to get involved in the Ice Palace testing- Lin Yi's goal here was just to find the fruit, but since this was Ice Palace's area of influence, would the fruit have anything to do with the Ice Palace?
According to what Liju said, the Fire Spirit's fruit was a treasure, and with a powerful existence like Ice Palace nearby, would they let go of a treasure like this? The strength of the Ice Palace could be seen from the identity of the participants. Even the hidden House Zhao was here, so naturally, there would be other hidden houses here as well!
Then, the identity of the Ice Palace was obvious. They were probably an ancient sect, and only an ancient sect could be above the hidden House Zhao.
And so, Lin Yi decided to get in touch with Qikun and Qijiu! But how would he get in touch with them? Qikun and Qijiu really wanted to get in touch with him, but it wouldn't be good to do it too deliberately!
The inn didn't provide food, and these few days, Lin Yi would go to the food stalls to get something to eat. Sometimes, he'd forget to eat when he was training his refinement fire. Lin Yi was a Mystic anyway- a few days without food was no problem.
Of course, not eating for a long time wouldn't work either. Mystics weren't gods, and they were different from sky classes- three to five days without food was fine, but ten days to half a month would be enough for them to starve to death. After all, the qi outside wasn't enough to keep up with the qi used up in the body!
And so, Lin Yi was a special case. There was an endless amount of energy in the jade space to replenish the energy he lost, and Lin Yi just needed to convert the energy in the jade space to his own, saving him the trouble of using pure qi to replenish his energy.
He looked at the time- it was dinner time, and he walked out of the room. When he opened the door, he purposely made some noise. He believed that with Qikun and Qijiu's Mystic strength, they would be able to sense it easily. After all, they didn't live far from him.
As expected, as Lin Yi walked out of his room and closed the door, a guest room not far away opened its door as well. Qikun and Qijiu walked out as well, but when they saw that Lin Yi was alone, they froze!
One had to know that every house or power could send two people to participate in the Ice Palace test, and most houses would send two people. After all, being in the same house meant that they could look out for each other, and it was better than just one person!
Of course, there were special cases as well- for example, the Mystics of the house didn't like each other, and they fought fiercely with each other. Under these circumstances, it was normal for the house to only send one person to participate in the test for safety reasons.
After all, if the two people they sent were cold-blooded, then they might use the test to kill each other. If something happened, it wouldn't be worth it! Not only would they fail to achieve the goal of the test, but they'd also lose two Mystics for nothing.
"What a coincidence, are you going for dinner?" Qikun quickened his steps and smiled at Lin Yi.
"Yes, what business do you two have … You two are new here, right? Haven't seen you before? "Lin Yi wanted to talk as well, so he used Qikun's topic to ask.
