"Oh, Shield Bro, you're taking on a private job? Isn't your job to protect me and Yao Yao? "Yushu asked.
"Not really, I've already resigned last time. We're just good friends now," Lin Yi smiled.
"I see … Looks like I can't stop you. Be careful then …" Yushu said helplessly. She was actually worried that Lin Yi would be in danger.
Last time Lin Yi went to the tomb, he almost died. If it weren't for that Boss Yu being a coward, Lin Yi wouldn't have come back so easily. Yushu was really worried that something would happen to Lin Yi!
"I will," Lin Yi said, "Before I came here, I always took on missions like this!"
Lin Yi comforted Yushu like that, but he knew that the missions he took on before weren't that high leveled, so the money wasn't that much. A mission like this with a hundred million reward was probably on a different level. It would be even more dangerous.
The hidden House Yu received the news immediately after the common House Yu was annihilated. Yu Huoxing was going crazy with rage, he didn't think that Lin Yi would be this daring, to actually wipe out the common House Yu! He stormed over to the hidden House Yu's Head, Yu Xiaochen, and said in grief, "Head Yu, please help us, the common House Yu, with regards to this matter, I beg you to uphold justice for us! We, the common House Yu, have been helping the hidden House Yu earn money, and yet we ended up like this. You must help us, the common House Yu, get justice … "
"Alright, I got it. Yu Huoxing, I'm sorry for your loss. I need to understand the ins and outs of this matter before discussing it with my father!" Yu Xiaochen comforted Boss Yu, "That Lin Yi is an Earth class, and we, the hidden house, are restricted by the noble house council. Earth classes can't come out as they please, so it's not easy to deal with Lin Yi!"
"But … That Lin Yi is an Earth class- isn't he restricted by the hidden house council?" Yu Huoxing felt that it was unfair. Saint Hall
"He's a freelancer, and in the past, there were no precedents of freelancers reaching Earth class- Mystic was already very powerful, and most of them relied on the hidden houses when they were at Mystic. Lin Yi is a special case!" Yu Xiaochen said, "I'll discuss the specifics with my father first!"
"Yes!" Yu Huoxing sighed sorrowfully. He didn't think that House Yu would be destroyed so soon after he left. This was like a bolt from the blue, how could he stay calm? He wanted to tear Lin Yi into a million pieces right now, but when he remembered that Lin Yi was also an Earth class early phase master, and that he knew martial arts, he backed off!
Revenge was important, but staying alive was even more important! Yu Huoxing's Lin Huoxing's Heart, Huoxing's, Yu's Heart, Lin, Xiaochen, Chen, Qing!! (《》)
Xiaochen was actually quite annoyed as well- there was a saying that went, 'Look at the master before beating the dog'. This Lin Yi had challenged the hidden House Yu's bottom line time and time again. First, he'd killed one of the common House Yu's, and now he'd sent the father and son of the common House Yu to heaven! This was intolerable!
But, while he wanted to kill Lin Yi as soon as possible, he didn't show it on his face. After all, this was a huge matter, and he couldn't just make a decision on his own. He had to consider the hidden house's entire benefit- if they really wanted to deal with Lin Yi and got impeached by the hidden house council, then it wouldn't be worth it!
And so, Xiaochen drove up the mountain to find his father, preparing to discuss with him on how to deal with this!
On the mountain, it was still Yu Yi who brought Xiaochen to the Elder Yu's training area.
"Xiaochen, you're here," The Elder Yu looked at Xiaochen and nodded.
"Father, Yu Huoxing came to me just now … He wants us to help them …" Xiaochen said.
"En, I know about this- it's all because of that Lin Yi," The Elder Yu nodded and said faintly, "But, read this letter first!"
"Oh? What letter? " Xiaochen paused. He wasn't surprised that his father knew what was going on outside. Although Xiaochen could be said to have complete control over House Yu, the old ancestor still had a lot of confidants in House Yu. These people were Yu Yi's eyes and ears, and the old ancestor's information came from them!
Of course, as long as Xiaochen didn't do anything wrong to House Yu, these people would naturally listen to him. Otherwise, he wouldn't be of much use as the head of the house. This was also why Xiaochen always went to the Elder Yu to discuss with him whenever something big happened!
But the Old Yu suddenly asked him to look at a letter, and this made Xiaochen suspicious. He took the letter from the Old Yu's hands and started reading it!
"Eh? It's a letter from Yu Bing? " Xiaochen was surprised. He knew the rules of the Ice Palace, and the new outer disciples didn't have the right to communicate with the house as they pleased, but Yu Bing didn't have this restriction.
"En, it seems like Yu Bing is doing quite well in the Ice Palace!" The Elder Yu praised, "If it weren't for Ning, Yu Bing would be the best candidate to be the head of House Yu!"
"Father, Ning, she …" Xiaochen didn't know much about Yu Ning, either. He only had a rough idea, and the old ancestor of House Yu would never go into details. This was also why he felt that Yu Bing should be the next head of the house.
"I can't tell you that- it's related to the big secret of House Yu's rise!" The Elder Yu said, "The time isn't right yet, so I can't tell you in detail …"
"The big secret of House Yu's rise?" Yu Xiaochen frowned, "Isn't Xiao Ning supposed to accept some kind of inheritance? But what kind of inheritance is it? Is there hope? Isn't it something you saw in the ancient ruins? Is it really effective? "
"Ancient ruins? That's just what I told others- it's not true at all!" Elder Yu shook his head, "Lil 'Chen, do you really think that we, the hidden House Yu, only rose up because we found a so-called ancient ruin? Do you really think that I, your father, am talented enough to break through to Sky class just by looking at the ruins? "
"Then …" Xiaochen looked at the Elder Yu, confused.
"All you need to know is that we, the hidden House Yu, actually have a backer up there, and … Ning's matter was their idea!" Old Ancestor Yu said, "That's all I can say, don't spread it out …"
Chapter 1720 – The Whereabouts of the Qi Gathering Pill
"I know!" Xiaochen's heart skipped a beat. This was the first time he knew that House Yu had someone backing them! He didn't know this at first, but the Elder Yu's words today had shocked him!
No wonder his father had always emphasized the importance of Yu Ning, even when Yu Bing was outstanding, he still looked at her differently. So Yu Ning was someone that the backer of House Yu had his eyes on!
"Of course, whether or not Ning can stay in House Yu and become the head of the house, I'm not sure, but Ning can become a Sky class, that's for sure!" The Elder Yu said, "If Ning can't stay in House Yu, then it's not too late to consider Yu Bing's matter. But right now, the person behind us hasn't said anything, so we can only put Ning first!"
"I see!" Xiaochen nodded and continued reading the letter in his hands, but halfway through, he frowned!
"Why are Yu Bing and Lin Yi together? Why is this kid so reckless? So the Ling Yi that Yu Shan was talking about is that Lin Yi! "Xiaochen frowned and said angrily," He even called Lin Yi his boss? What's going on? Is he trying to defy the heavens? "
"Xiaochen, your personality is still not mature enough. It's been so many years, and you've had to maintain that dignified image in front of outsiders. It's been hard on you!" The Elder Yu waved his hand, signaling for Xiaochen to calm down.
Xiaochen's face reddened. In front of his father, he revealed his true personality, but in front of outsiders, he had no choice. He was the head of the house, and if he showed his emotions on his face, then he'd be looked down upon.
"Without Lin Yi, Yu Bing might not even be able to come back alive. Wasn't the letter very clear?" The Elder Yu said with a look of disgust on his face, "That Yu Shan kid is talented, but his intelligence isn't in the right place. He brought this upon himself!"
"This Lin Yi is that strong? He even defeated Zhang Naipao and Feng Nitian from the ancient sects? " Xiaochen didn't really believe it, "Yu Bing didn't lie in this letter?"
Yu Bing was Xiaochen's son, but Yu Shan said the same thing, and Yu Bing said the same thing. Yu Shan might have lied more often, but for the sake of fairness, he couldn't just believe Yu Bing's words.
"This letter is for Ning, is there a need for Yu Bing to lie?" The Elder Yu waved his hand and passed another letter to Xiaochen, "The one you saw before was for Ning, it's just a casual conversation between siblings. There's no need for Yu Bing to lie, but this is the one Yu Bing asked Ning to pass to us!"
"Oh?" Yu Xiaochen quickly took the letter from the Elder Yu and started reading it! This letter was a lot more formal than the previous one. Yu Bing first greeted the elders of the house, and then described what happened in the test, but he didn't mention anything about Yu Shan framing him or Lin Yi. After that, Yu Bing changed the topic, saying that Yu Huoxing actually got a qi gathering pill, but didn't give it to House Yu, but took it for himself!
Yu Bing was very sure that the source of this information was very accurate. There was someone in the test who could prove this, but he didn't say who it was.
"Are you done?" The Elder Yu asked.
"I've read it already … The thing that Yu Bing said …" Xiaochen wasn't surprised that the two letters were in the hands of House Yu's Old Ancestor. On the surface, House Yu was under his control, but in reality, the Old Ancestor was in charge of most of the things.
"It should be true- there's no need for him to lie, and Yu Huoxing doesn't have any conflict of interest with him." The Elder Yu said, "But it's true that he's friends with Lin Yi, and if we don't go against House Yu because of this, we won't go against Lin Yi. This is probably the reason why Yu Bing brought this up!"
The Elder Yu's eyes were very sharp- he noticed the secret behind it immediately.
"I see …" Xiaochen realized- he didn't even think about the deeper reason, "Then this Lin Yi …"
"This Lin Yi is a genius, a freelancer, and he became an Earth class early phase in just a few years! This is unbelievable!" The Elder Yu said, "He had just broken through to Mystic late phase during the test, and now he's an Earth class early phase? This is a rare talent!"
"You're right, father!" Xiaochen didn't think that his father would praise Lin Yi like this, but from what he could see, this Lin Yi wasn't simple at all- he was able to wipe out the common House Yu, and now he was able to beat Yu Shuixing who had taken the pill! This was the same as skipping levels!
"It's a shame that we don't have the ability to recruit Lin Yi!" The Elder Yu sighed, "With Ning's relationship, there's no way Lin Yi will be of use to us, unless Ning marries him …"
"Why can't I?" Xiaochen paused, "Lin Yi is so young, and he's already an Earth class- this is rare even in the hidden houses, let alone a freelancer."
"The inheritor must be a virgin girl, or she won't be able to accept the inheritance!" The Elder Yu said, "This is also why I stopped Ning from dating. These young people, if they act rashly, the consequences will be unimaginable! This is an order from our House Yu's backer! Ning can't be in a relationship! "
"So that's how it is!" Xiaochen understood, "If Ning can't marry Lin Yi, then we really don't have the ability to recruit Lin Yi …"
"But, we don't have to be enemies for now!" Elder Yu said, "The Grand Elder of the Hidden House's Arbitration Council hasn't shown himself in a long time, and the others are getting restless and ready to break the rules. But before they break the rules, we, House Yu, can't be the first bird!"
"Oh? The other hidden houses want to break the rules as well? "Xiaochen asked.
