Once bitten, twice shy
"Elder Zhao, earlier … That Lin Yi killed three earth class masters with one move …" Yu Huoxing explained what he saw to Elder Zhao …
But, Yu Huoxing was too far away, and he couldn't see the details. He could only describe what happened according to his own understanding.
"What! One move? " Elder Zhao's face was full of shock, as if there was something wrong with his ears. "That Lin Yi, wasn't he possessed? How could he kill three earth class masters with one move? Plus, Zhao Guanger is an earth class late phase … "
"How would I know?" Yu Huoxing smiled bitterly. "Elder Zhao, that Lin Yi is an expert at pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. It's not a secret anymore. He used to pretend to be injured to lure his enemies in for revenge, and every time, his enemies would return with heavy losses! According to my observations, Lin Yi must've learned some kind of powerful technique, or … His strength has reached the peak of the earth class late phase … "
Elder Zhao's eyes widened, feeling like his brain wasn't enough to process all of this. He looked at Zhao Qibing and Kang Ming Ming. "You guys were nearby? Yu Huoxing, is what you said true? "
It was an extremely rude question, but Elder Zhao was a sky class now, so Yu Huoxing didn't dare voice his dissatisfaction.
"Grandpa, I wasn't far from there. Mister Yu Huoxing's words are all true- it really was one move, and that Lin Yi killed three Earth class masters …" Qibin's eyes flashed with fear at this point- evidently, the scene had left a deep impression on him. "If you don't believe me, grandpa, the car's camera recorded everything from afar …"
With Qibin's confirmation, Elder Zhao knew that there were no more delusions. Lin Yi really did kill three earth class masters! Grandpa Zhao's heart was bleeding. He didn't care about the others, but Zhao Guang 'er was an Earth class late phase master, a pillar of the Zhao family. How could he die just like that?
From Elder Zhao's perspective, other than Elder Bi and Zhao Guangyin, Zhao Guanger was one of the future Sky class masters of House Zhao, but now … If they had known that Lin Yi was this strong, why would they even bother messing with him?
"Grandpa, I've said it before, that Lin Yi's a wolf in sheep's clothing … But …" Qikun was gloating inwardly. Lin Yi was fine, and he was showing off his prowess. House Zhao had lost a master, but it didn't matter- as long as he took control of House Zhao, with Lin Yi's support, House Zhao would still be one of the top few hidden houses.
Elder Zhao looked at Qikun, a light flashing in his eyes. Qikun felt a chill in his heart, but he still acted like he was in the right, not backing down.
After a while, Elder Zhao nodded. "Qikun's right- out of all of us, only Qikun has fought with Lin Yi in the Ice Palace's test. He knows what Lin Yi is capable of. If we had listened to Qikun, we wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses!"
Qikun was a bit dejected. He had been hoping to use House Zhao's power for revenge, but now it seemed that Lin Yi was already the strongest under Sky class- he killed three earth class masters with one move, one of which was an earth class late phase. Even an earth class late phase peak wouldn't be able to do that, but Lin Yi had done it. If he wasn't the strongest under Sky class, then what was he?
It seemed that unless his grandpa did it himself, who else could touch Lin Yi? But, although the hidden noble house association only existed in name and couldn't do anything to the hidden noble houses, there were still the ancient sects above the hidden noble houses!
The ancient sects wouldn't allow Sky class masters to interfere with the common world- this was the agreement between the ancient sects! Although the hidden noble houses weren't the ancient sects, if the ancient sects followed the agreement, then what were the hidden noble houses?
"It's fine, we'll learn from our mistakes. That Lin Yi likes to act weak, so let's not mess with him for now." Elder Zhao said that, but he had no other choice. If he could, he would've just killed Lin Yi, but that wasn't possible.
"Qibing, for this period of time, go back to the family and train. Don't interfere with Lin Yi's matter!" Elder Bi agreed. If Lin Yi killed three earth class masters with one move, then even Elder Bi, an earth class late phase peak, wouldn't dare say that he could kill Lin Yi.
"Yes …" Qibing said helplessly.
"Yu Huoxing, Kang Ming Ming, we, House Zhao, won't interfere with Lin Yi's business for now. Whether or not your houses continue to be enemies with Lin Yi, that's your business …" Elder Zhao said decisively.
"Alright, Elder Zhao, I'll be going back to report to the head as well …" Yu Huoxing smiled bitterly. He knew that there was no hope for revenge from Lin Yi now. He killed three earth class masters with one move, Shuixing's death wasn't in vain!
"I'll be leaving too … Elder Zhao, farewell …" Kang Ming Ming was even more dejected. House Zhao wasn't going to interfere, and House Yu seemed to have given up as well. What right did House Kang have to go against Lin Yi?
As House Zhao carefully studied Lin Yi, Lin Yi had already brought Mengyao and Yushu to Songshan's First People's Hospital.
"Yi!" The worried Faubert stood up when he saw Lin Yi, excited as if he'd been injected with chicken blood, "You … You're done?"
"I'm done!" Lin Yi nodded heavily and turned to Faubert, "Thank you for worrying about me these days …"
Faubert paused. He understood immediately that Lin Yi was referring to Pengzhan's bankruptcy, the fact that Faubert still stayed by Pengzhan's side despite the risk of enemies. Lin Yi, naturally, was grateful for this.
But Faubert didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Yi, Mister Chu and I have been friends for more than ten years, you're treating me like an outsider …"
"Ah … That's true," Lin Yi nodded. He'd only known the Miss for half a year, and in terms of time, Faubert was a lot longer than him. Lin Yi didn't say anything else, "I'll go see Uncle Chu."
"Okay!" Faubert quickly stepped aside and invited Lin Yi into the ICU.
"How is it, Lin Yi, can you save dad …" Mengyao knew that Lin Yi had a ninety percent chance of doing something, but she was still worried about her father's safety.
"It's not a big problem," Lin Yi looked at Pengzhan's condition, "As long as he's still breathing, he'll be fine …"
