Lin Yi was shocked! Sadly, he realized that he couldn't even fight back against Qibing! Lin Yi's body was considered strong among normal people, but facing an Earth class like Qibing, Lin Yi had no way of fighting back.
Qikun was stunned. He never would've thought that his grandpa was lying to him! He had been lying to him all this time! Grandpa didn't want Lin Yi to be the boss at all, making him the head of the house and building a good relationship with Lin Yi … It was all fake! He was just using him!
But, Qikun just kept his head down. He wasn't the rash Qikun he used to be. After the house arrest, he had become more mature, and he wouldn't do anything rash.
Qikun was thinking about how to solve this crisis! With his strength, even if he fought with Old Zhao, it wouldn't help at all. Other than losing his life, it wouldn't help at all.
But, Lin Yi couldn't use his strength right now. He was like a fish on a chopping board here. Even Qibing could easily control Lin Yi, so it was impossible for Lin Yi to turn things around!
"Qikun, what do you think?" Qikun didn't say anything, but Old Zhao looked at Qikun with a smile that wasn't a smile.
"Grandpa, as the heir of the hidden house Zhao, naturally, I would put the house's interests first. Grandpa's decision is my decision!" Qikun said.
"Ha?" Qibing heard Qikun's words- was Qikun an idiot? Couldn't he tell that it was all an act? He still wanted to be the head of the house?
But, Qibing was about to say something when Old Zhao cut him off with a look! Old Zhao looked at Qikun, interested. "Oh? So you're saying that for the hidden house's interests, you can kill Lin Yi? "
"Of course!" Qikun said firmly. "House Zhao's blood flows in my veins, I am a disciple of House Zhao! Grandpa, although I don't feel good about you using me to plot against Lin Yi, I understand that you want to kill Lin Yi. So, I've decided to stand on your side! "
"Is this what you really think?" Elder Zhao, on the other hand, didn't expect that Qikun would do this, publicly breaking up with Lin Yi. Wasn't this too much of a drama?
"I know, grandpa, that with just one level three pill, it's impossible for you to pass the position to me, but I can't deny that Zhao Qibing and I have the same starting point. Although he's stronger than me because of the pill, I've participated in two tests, and I have more experience than him. I also have Zhao Qijiu, an unknown helper, so I'm not weaker than him. I have the right to compete!" Qikun said slowly. "Grandpa, I'm just asking you to give me a fair chance!"
"Haha, of course!" Old Zhao laughed suddenly. "It's good that you can think that way. We, the hidden houses, follow the rule of survival of the fit- there's only motivation when there's competition!"
"Grandpa …" Qibing's face changed. He didn't think that Old Zhao would agree to Qikun's request, but that wasn't what he said before!
"Qibing, I know what you're thinking, but Qikun's right- you have the same starting point as him. You've both contributed to the hidden house, so you can't ask others not to compete with you!" Old Zhao said.
"Yes …" Qibing said helplessly. He didn't know why Old Zhao changed his mind, but he couldn't just disobey. He could only nod.
Lin Yi was a little angry at Qikun's sudden change, but after calming down, Lin Yi realized that something was wrong! Qikun didn't know what happened today- he was kept in the dark. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened.
And Qikun, under these circumstances, had betrayed the hidden house Zhao- it seemed a bit strange. Lin Yi knew Qikun's personality, and there had to be some other reason behind this.
As a result, Lin Yi didn't say anything, choosing to wait and see. What happened today was a blessing, not a curse, and if it was a curse, he couldn't avoid it. Since he was already poisoned, he had no other choice but to get through this first.
"Qikun, although I think that you're speaking the truth, in order to test you and prove that you have the right to be the successor of the hidden house, you and Qibing will kill Lin Yi now!" Old Zhao said as he looked at Qikun.
This was Old Zhao's true goal. He wanted Qikun to kill Lin Yi, and Lin Yi would be in a lot of pain, wouldn't he? Watching his own follower betray him, raising a butcher's knife at him … How cruel was that?
"No problem!" Qikun agreed quickly. "Grandpa, do you really think I wanted him to be my boss before? I didn't have a choice. You accepted Zhao Qibing back into House Zhao and made him the first heir to the young master position. What could I do? In order to protect myself, I had to find another way and make Lin Yi my boss, but I still wanted to be the head of the hidden house! Now that I have this chance, I have to treasure it! So, Qibing doesn't need to do anything, I can do it myself! "
"Oh? Yourself? Alright, then go kill Lin Yi! "Old Zhao looked at Qikun, surprised, but nodded.
"Yes, thank you for giving me this chance to wash away my shame!" Qikun cupped his fists in gratitude. "I've wanted to kill Lin Yi for a long time- I'm a disciple of a hidden house, it's so embarrassing to have a solo practitioner as my boss!"
Qikun's words stunned Qibing. Was this really Qikun? Could it be that this was the real him, and the one before was just a facade? If that was the case, then wasn't Qikun too scheming?
He'd been hiding it all this time, making Lin Yi his boss because he had no other choice, and his goal was to return to the hidden house one day? At the thought, Qibing looked at his grandpa, and the two understood each other- this Qikun was too scary!
"Qikun, very good, very good! No wonder I always felt that your attitude towards me was fake, it was all fake! It seems that I've misjudged you! "Lin Yi looked at Qikun suddenly.
