He continued, "Oftentimes, as the head of a house, I have to think about the big picture! Before, I supported Zhao Qibing because of his contributions to the hidden house, and as the head of the house, I have to reward those who contribute to the house, I can't let them down! Otherwise, who would contribute to the house in the future? So, I supported Zhao Qibing! As for you, as Zhao Qibing's biggest competitor, I can only suppress you! But, I couldn't do something like killing you myself, so I could only lock you up … "
Qikun nodded silently. He understood what Old Zhao was saying. He was just angry before, wondering why Zhao Qibing could get the position. But after knowing Zhao Qibing's contributions, he just felt that he was unlucky.
"Grandpa, I understand all of that …" Qikun sighed.
"Yes, you understand all of that. Now, you brought back a third level pill for the house, and your contributions are equal to Qibing's. I won't be biased towards Zhao Qibing anymore. You guys have the same starting point, so I'm more inclined towards you being the head of the house! Qitan, do you understand? "Old Master Zhao said in a serious tone.
"Me?" Qikun was a bit dumbfounded. Why was Old Zhao saying this all of a sudden?
"Hidden House Han, Hidden House Pi, Hidden House Zhuang, these houses … Hidden House Zhuang used to be much weaker than us, and Hidden House Pi was about the same strength as us, but these two are doing better than us now. Why is that?" Old Zhao paused here before continuing. "I'm sure you understand, Zhao Qikun, that's because they've accepted Lin Yi as their boss, and so they've gotten a huge boost!"
"So, grandpa, you're saying …" Qikun finally understood, and was pleasantly surprised! His grandpa finally understood what Lin Yi was capable of, and he was finally ready to join Lin Yi's side!
"That's right!" Old Zhao nodded affirmatively. "Before, grandpa thought that Lin Yi was a freelancer and didn't have much ability. And because of what happened with Zhao Qibing, we had some grudges with Lin Yi. Because of that, I never thought about the pros and cons of this matter. But now, it seems that you're the smarter one! He gave us, the hidden Zhao family, a way out! "
Qikun was very happy to see his grandpa come back to his rights- he didn't know what to say, he didn't know what to say.
"Grandpa … I just think that Boss Lin Yi treats me very well, and he's very strong. He can protect me, so …" Qikun said.
"Yes, I know. You don't have to explain, you did the right thing!" Old Zhao said. "It's just that grandpa had some misunderstandings with Lin Yi before, and joining him like this is a bit sudden, and also, grandpa's face …"
"Grandpa, our family didn't really respect Lin Yi Boss in the first place- why are you still thinking about face at a time like this? Boss Lin Yi's follower has already risen to the ancient level, and it'll be too late for us to be reserved!" Qikun was panicking. Why was grandpa still thinking about face at a time like this?
"Ah? All ancient sects? "Old Zhao's heart skipped a beat as he probed," Even the ancient sects serve Lin Yi? "
"Not really, just ancient level disciples," Qikun said truthfully, not hiding anything. He didn't know that Old Zhao was trying to get information out of him.
Qikun didn't know that Tuoba Wang was representing the Yellow Soil high sects. After all, this involved Little Jiu, and Lin Yi didn't tell him in detail. He only said it vaguely, so Qikun didn't know.
"I see!" Old Zhao pretended to be surprised, but breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. It was just a few disciples, so it wasn't a big deal, but if there were ancient sects joining Lin Yi, then it'd be really troublesome! At that time, even if he killed Lin Yi and the ancient sects came for revenge, he wouldn't be able to do anything about it! But it wasn't yet. "Qikun, what do you think I should do now?"
"If you really want Lin Yi Boss to protect our hidden house, I think you should have a banquet and apologize to Boss Lin Yi, letting bygones be bygones," Qikun suggested.
"You're right!" Old Zhao was about to laugh out loud. Zhao Qikun, Zhao Qikun, don't you know that the older you are, the wiser you are! I've been waiting for you to say this, for you to say it yourself!
"Grandpa, does that mean you agree?" Qikun breathed a sigh of relief- if he called Lin Yi boss and he still put on airs, then Lin Yi wouldn't be happy. Even if he called House Zhao his little brother for his sake, he wouldn't feel good about it! But if Old Zhao took the initiative to hold a banquet and apologize, then everything would be fine.
"Yeah, I'll listen to you, right?" Old Zhao waved his hand. "Here, I'll think about it and call a family meeting. I'll treat Lin Yi to a meal and confirm this relationship!"
"Alright, grandpa, I'll go tell Boss Lin Yi our decision right now!" Qikun said happily.
"Okay, go!" Old Zhao said. "I'll announce in a bit that you and Zhao Qibing's positions in the hidden house will be the same from now onwards. You'll both be the heir of the house! You know that I can't just take away Zhao Qibing's heir position all of a sudden. He contributed to the house, so it'll depend on your contributions! But, you have Lin Yi to protect you, so it shouldn't be a problem in the future! "
"I understand, grandpa!" Qikun said quickly.
If Old Zhao had just said that he'd take away Zhao Qibing and make Zhao Qikun the heir, then Qikun would've been confused and would've been exposed. But now, the more he said it, the more Qikun felt that it was reasonable!
After returning home, Lin Yi didn't even have time to talk to Mengyao and Yushu about the interesting things that happened in the Sky Elixir Sect's test before he was infuriated by a troublesome matter!
These days, Tianli had been living like a drunkard, trying to get by as long as he could. He didn't report the company's matters to House Liu, and he didn't tell Fatty Lai and the others, either. Instead, he just smoked every day!
