"I see. When will the hidden house auction be held?" Lin Yi asked.
"I'm not too sure about that. Our hidden Han family isn't very well-informed. We'll only receive news before the auction. But I heard that the hidden family auction is organized by a few large hidden families. They'll send invitations when the time comes," Han Xiaopo said. "If Senior Lin is interested, you can come with me!"
"Alright!" Lin Yi nodded. "Then keep an eye out for me. We'll go together."
"Don't worry, Senior Lin, I'll keep an eye out." Han Xiaopo said.
As they spoke, there was a knock on the door. The waiter had come to deliver the dishes. The two of them stopped talking and waited for the waiter to bring the dishes to the table. After that, the manager gave them a few plates of fruits and a bottle of wine, as well as an ID card to Lin Yi. Only then did he leave the room and close the door.
"Senior Lin, please eat!" Han Xiaopo made a gesture.
"Let's talk while we eat. It's just the two of us, and there's no outsiders. There's no rules." Lin Yi, on the other hand, was hungry. He picked up his chopsticks without hesitation. "Tell me first, when will the hidden house summit be held? What do I need to prepare?"
"Alright, Senior Lin!" Han Xiaopo nodded and picked up his chopsticks to eat with Lin Yi. He said as he ate, "The hidden house summit will be held on the fifteenth of this month. The location hasn't been announced yet, but this year's hidden house summit will be held in Donghai city if nothing goes wrong. The host of the hidden house summit is the hidden house Zhao!"
"Hidden house Zhao?" Lin Yi's eyes flashed with a complicated look. This hidden house Zhao could be considered as Lin Yi's enemy, but Zhao Qikun was Lin Yi's follower!
"Yes. Actually, this Hidden House Summit is a little different from the previous ones. It's obvious that a few powerful hidden houses are working together to divide up the treasures our hidden Han family has found in the ancient ruins!" Han Xiaopo said angrily. "They can't take it openly because of the rules, so they're finding all sorts of excuses to force us to give them some of the treasures!"
"The weak are prey to the strong. That's the rule in the world of practitioners." Lin Yi wasn't surprised- it wasn't that the hidden houses were unreasonable. The world of practitioners was a dog-eat-dog world. If you weren't strong enough, who could you blame?
Lin Yi went to House An, injured An Jiande, broke Jianwen's leg, and demanded a huge amount of compensation. All of this was because Lin Yi was strong enough!
Breaking Zhao Qibing's leg multiple times, blowing up his building, crippling Uncle Zhu … This was all because Lin Yi was strong!
Otherwise, Lin Yi would've died many times already!
"Of course I know that …" Han Xiaopo smiled bitterly. "But, even though we're not strong enough, and we're prepared to pay a huge price, we don't want to lose too badly. Otherwise, we'd lose all our face in the hidden houses! That's why we want to invite you, Senior Lin. Even if we only win one match, it'll still give us some face! "
"Ha, what if we win a few more?" Lin Yi asked.
"No matter how many matches we win, the bets will belong to you, Senior Lin!" Han Xiaopo's eyes lit up and he said, "Moreover, our hidden Han family's wager will belong to Senior Lin. Apart from that, Senior Lin can also take a few more treasures from our hidden Han family's treasure vault. You can also state some other conditions!"
"Let's see what the competition is about." Lin Yi knew that Han Xiaopo's offer was tempting, but Lin Yi had to have the strength to get it. Lin Yi naturally wouldn't do something dangerous and suicidal. For those treasures, Lin Yi didn't want to lose his life!
Helping House Han was just a matter of convenience. Han Xiaopo's performance from start to finish wasn't bad, but Lin Yi didn't have much of a relationship with the hidden house. All he did was take a piece of colored steel from them. As long as he helped them win the race, he wouldn't owe them anything.
As for the rest, Lin Yi would act according to the situation. He wouldn't act blindly.
"I haven't received the details of the competition yet. We'll know when we get there!" Han Xiaopo said. "But according to previous competitions, there will definitely be racing, reflexes, and martial arts. Racing is a hundred percent. It's an important competition to train the coordination of the practitioner's hands, feet, and brain!"
"Racing …" Lin Yi smiled. "I see that your driving skills aren't bad. Are they so sure they can beat you?"
"My methods really aren't much …" Han Xiaopo couldn't help but shake his head, a bitter expression on his face. "I wonder if Senior Lin has heard of the hidden House Zhao?"
Han Xiaopo had received news that Lin Yi and the hidden Zhao family weren't on good terms, and that the hidden Zhao family had sent Zhao Guanger to kill Lin Yi last time, only to be killed by Lin Yi. However, it wasn't a good idea to say it out loud.
"The hidden Zhao family?" Lin Yi picked up the glass of red wine in front of him and took a sip. He sneered. "Do they have a racing expert?"
"That's right!" Han Xiaopo nodded. "I heard that the hidden Zhao family took in an illegitimate son. His training isn't that great, but he's very good at racing! His racing skills are already quite good, and he was taken in as a disciple by Elder Bi, a master of House Zhao. He's been training him to become a practitioner, and his coordination with his hands, feet, and brain has improved a lot. He's most likely going to win this race … Of course, that's if Senior Lin doesn't do anything! "
"Pfft … Cough, cough!" Lin Yi was drinking his red wine when he heard Han Xiaopo's words. He spat it out. "You're talking about Zhao Qibing?"
"Yes, that's Zhao Qibing!" Han Xiaopo nodded. "Do you know him, Senior Lin?"
"Of course, how could I not?" Lin Yi smiled. "That guy and I are enemies, but he's never had a good time in my hands. How did he become a racing expert?"
