"Of course not …" Yushu nodded.
"Fine." Mengyao could only let it go after hearing Yushu's words. She started to wonder if she was being too sensitive before.
"Right, Yaoyao sis, Shield bro is so strong now, and he's about to step into Sky class. Have you thought about what we should do in the future?" Yushu pretended to be nonchalant as she 'changed' the topic, but only she knew that she wasn't changing the topic at all!
"You're talking about … the gap between us and Lin Yi, right?" Mengyao was smart as well. She knew what Yushu was talking about the moment she mentioned it! Lin Yi was getting stronger and stronger, and the gap between them was getting more and more obvious!
If it was just a difference in strength, then it would be fine. The girl was quiet and gentle, and it wouldn't be a problem if she didn't play with weapons. But the problem was that Lin Yi was already an Earth class late phase, and it was only a matter of time before he stepped into Sky class, and it wouldn't be long before that happened.
Thus, there was a problem. The moment a cultivator stepped into the Heaven Rank, their appearance would remain forever unchanged. Although they would still grow older, they would always look the same after stepping into the Heaven Rank.
Mengyao and Yushu might not be able to see much of a gap between them and Lin Yi now, but what would they do when Lin Yi was in his thirties? Wouldn't they turn from a young girl to a young man then?
But Lin Yi would still look like a young man, because Lin Yi would definitely step into Sky class within these two years! Mengyao's face flashed with a hint of melancholy at the thought! There were some things that she wouldn't admit or think about in her heart, but she still cared about it!
She didn't want the gap between her and Lin Yi to get bigger and bigger, she just didn't want it!
"Yeah, I'm a little envious of Xiaoxiao and Yun Yun sis. If there's a chance for Shu to accept the inheritance, she'll definitely go happily!" Yushu said.
"Don't say that, it's not a good thing. Don't we still have to do something dangerous later?" Mengyao glared at Yushu, annoyed. It was supposed to be a sad thing, but Yushu's words turned it into a happy one.
"Yaoyao sis, I'm serious. Even if it's dangerous, it'll be worth it if we can get closer to Shield bro. Yaoyao sis, why don't we find a chance to accept the inheritance?" Yushu tempted.
"Shu, you have to know that not everyone can accept the inheritance. It requires a compatible constitution. How can we accept it just because we want to?" Mengyao smiled bitterly. "Get rid of that unrealistic idea- let Lin Yi find us some training arts suitable for our constitutions- that's the right thing to do."
"Maybe one of the sects will take a liking to Shu … …" Yushu said.
"Haha … …" Mengyao and Yushu only remembered that Han Jingjing hadn't come today- they'd been riding her BMW X5M to and from school all this time- they weren't used to not seeing Han Jingjing's car all of a sudden.
Only then did Mengyao remember that they'd come to school in Lin Yi's jeep this morning, and Lin Yi had told them that Han Jingjing was going into seclusion to research a new invention. She'd probably be in seclusion for a while.
Lin Yi greeted Mengyao and Yushu as they walked over. Lin Yi had come back from home to pick them up.
"Xiaochao's in the car already?" Mengyao said as she glanced at the front passenger seat.
"En." Lin Yi nodded and turned to ask, "Little Chao, how is your sister?"
"I don't know, she went into her room and never came out … …" Xiaochao said weakly as he put down the book in his hand.
"Alright." Lin Yi couldn't ask too many questions to a bookworm like that- he probably didn't care about his sister's invention at all- it didn't make much of a difference to him.
On the way home, Lin Yi's phone rang again- what surprised Lin Yi was that it was Zhao Qikun!
"Qikun, why're you calling at this hour?" Lin Yi knew that Qikun had been very busy lately, fighting with Zhao Qibing for the position of heir. Both of them were fighting openly and secretly at home, and he didn't have time to chat with Lin Yi.
"Boss, it's like this- this weekend, grandpa's treating you to dinner at our hidden House Zhao. Of course, if you don't like this place, you can go to another restaurant." Qikun said excitedly. "Grandpa said that he wants to confirm the relationship between you and our hidden House Zhao, and also … confirm my position as the heir … …"
"Oh?" Lin Yi paused- he didn't think that Old Zhao would've made the decision already. Old Zhao had said that he would treat him to dinner as an apology, and his attitude towards Qikun had changed a lot, but it seemed like he would still struggle for a few days. But now, it seemed like it was settled!
As for Old Zhao saying that they could go to another restaurant, it was probably because he was afraid that Lin Yi would think that there would be a problem if he went to the hidden House Zhao's turf. But with Lin Yi's strength, a mere hidden House Zhao wasn't a threat at all. Naturally, Lin Yi agreed without hesitation. "This weekend? What time exactly? "
"Saturday, eleven noon. Boss, you agree?" Qikun could tell from Lin Yi's tone that he had agreed.
"En, let's go to your hidden House Zhao then. I'll be there around ten." Lin Yi said. Since it was an invitation from Qikun, Lin Yi naturally had to give him face.
After hanging up, Mengyao asked, "You have something going on this weekend?"
"En, Zhao Qikun said that the hidden House Zhao invited me to dinner, so I have to go." Lin Yi nodded. "You have something going on?"
"It's nothing, actually. It's just that Shu and I haven't gone shopping in a long time, and we want you to come with us." Mengyao said.
"Oh, I'll go with you guys on Sunday then." Lin Yi nodded, thinking that it must have been hard on them. When he wasn't home, they were afraid of running into enemies and giving him trouble. They didn't even go to the mall.
"En, by the way, Lin Yi, do you have a plan for our practitioner's arts?" Mengyao asked casually. After all, she cared a lot about Shu's suggestion.
