Cihua's Departure
It wasn't to the point where he lost his composure, but it was still quite saddening. Elder Bi had been with him for decades, and now he was dead. How could he accept that?
Even if he was injured before, Elder Zhao thought that there was still hope. The Great Recovery Pill was out of his reach, but it wasn't impossible. But now that he was dead, there was no way he could come back to life.
"Reporting to the head, from the looks of it, Elder Bi failed his breakthrough, causing his blood to flow backwards and explode. This is something that happens when a practitioner tries to force their breakthrough!" Yaowang was an expert in medicine, and he knew quite a bit about practitioners. Elder Bi's death wasn't rare, either!
When a practitioner tried to breakthrough, there would always be a certain amount of danger. But some people were just a sliver away from breaking through, and the danger was lower. At most, they would fail, but they wouldn't die!
Forcing a breakthrough was when a practitioner reached a certain age, and knew that they didn't have long to live. If they didn't break through to the next level, they'd die for sure, and so they'd choose to force it!
In other words, this person still had a long way to go, but because they didn't have much time left, they'd use some sort of secret technique to force themselves to breakthrough. This was life or death isolation, and if they didn't break through, they'd die. Yaowang knew about the signs of death after that.
"Failed to breakthrough?" Although Grandpa Zhao hadn't seen it before, he had heard of it. Hearing Yaowang's conclusion, his face softened a lot. Recalling what Zhu Lao Da had told him before, he turned to look at Zhu Lao Da. "Zhu Lao Da, is this Philter of Barrier Breaking the legendary liquid used to forcefully break through?"
"I … I don't know …" Zhu Lao's face was pale, "The Sky class only told me that I either recover and break through, or I die …"
"Then it has to be!" Elder Zhao nodded. Now that he thought about it, it really was similar to a life or death isolation. He just didn't think about it at the time, "It's fine, it's not your fault. You don't know either."
"Thank you for understanding, head!" Zhu Lao let out a breath of relief.
"From the looks of it, the second Zhu is holding on, but Elder Bi isn't … Ah, the world is unpredictable!" Old man Zhao said, "But it's still a cause for celebration. Our hidden Zhao family now has another Earth class early phase master. It's a good thing!"
"Thank you for your trust, Master. We brothers will do our best to serve the family!" Eldest Zhu and Second Zhu quickly said.
However, Boss Zhu's heart was filled with disdain. He sneered, 'Serve my ass, we'll serve Boss Lin Yi from now on!'
"This matter is our hidden Zhao Family's absolute secret. I don't think the Heaven Stage expert would want us to talk about it!" Elder Zhao sighed, "Elder Mian, give Elder Bi a proper burial. He's the hero of our hidden House Zhao! As for Second Brother Zhu, since you're healed, you should stay by Zhao Qibing's side. Eldest Brother Zhu, you should go back to Songshan and take care of Chen Xi. "
"Yes!" Everyone agreed, and Eldest Zhu and Second Zhu let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that Yushu's idea was a good one. She'd successfully tricked Elder Zhao and Yaowang, but Elder Bi was a bit unlucky- he'd died with regret and regret.
Back in Songshan, Cihua received a warning from Zou Tiandi. Cihua was about to explode in anger. House Zou was just a small family in Songshan, a nobody compared to him. They were nothing more than characters like Zhong Fabai used to be!
But Tiandi had Lin Yi behind him, and Cihua wasn't sure what Tiandi's intentions were. He asked carefully, and what he found shocked him! It was Lin Yi's idea, and Lin Yi had arranged for another follower of his, Hidden House Zhuang, to come to Songshan and take over some of Cihua's businesses!
This made Cihua extremely depressed! How did Hidden House Zhuang become Lin Yi's follower? If it was just Zou Tiandi, Cihua would've been a bit more forceful. After all, he could tell that Lin Yi wasn't that close to House Zou. It was just that Zou Tiandi took the initiative to be his lackey. But with Hidden House Zhuang, Cihua wouldn't be able to fight them alone. After ending the call with Tiandi, Cihua quickly reported the situation to Zhao Qibing, waiting for him to make a decision!
"Hello?" Zhao Qibing was very happy to have another early phase Earth class fighter. Although he was also an early phase Earth class master, his combat strength was obviously weaker. He relied entirely on elixirs to get to where he was, and he seriously lacked actual battle experience. So, he felt that it was a good thing that Zhu the Second was joining them. He was in a good mood, "Cihua, what's up?"
"Master Bing, Zou Tiandi came looking for me just now …" Cihua said as he told Zhao Qibing about Zou Tiandi representing Lin Yi and Hidden House Zhuang to take over Songshan's businesses. Cihua had more or less shares in the entertainment industry in Songshan, and although he didn't participate in the management, he still had a lot of shares. He wasn't willing to just pull them out like that.
"What? Hidden House Zhuang has become Lin Yi's follower? " Zhao Qibing was shocked and angered by Cihua's report. He never would've thought that Hidden House Zhuang would be working for Lin Yi! This made him feel a little incredulous. "Is this news true or false?"
"I'm not sure, but Zou Tiandi said it so confidently. He wouldn't joke about Lin Yi and Hidden House Zhuang, would he? He doesn't have the guts to do something like that. He can't afford to offend either of them! " Cihua said. This was why he wasn't angry. Zou Tiandi was a coward, and he shouldn't be spouting nonsense about something like this.
"Hm … How about this, I'll ask around, and I'll get back to you." Zhao Qibing hung up and called Zhuang Niaodao.
At this moment, Zhuang Niaodao had received his family's decision to officially become Lin Yi's follower. Zhuang Niaoqiang wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Thank goodness he hadn't offended Lin Yi recently. He had a few meals with Tiger Right and Li Biaohan, but he hadn't participated in anything that happened to Lin Yi. After the conflict at the beginning of the semester, he hadn't offended Lin Yi. It was a relief!
