Even if she accepted the inheritance, she wouldn't be able to be with Lin Yi. Even if she became Sky's Dao, Lin Yi might not even want Yu Ning anymore, and Elder Yu had given Yu Ning the position of the future head of House Yu.
All of this was the source of the conflict with Lin Yi, but Elder Yu couldn't resolve it. He knew that things were going to develop this way, but he couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't go against the Five Elements Sect.
Even if he gave Yushu to Lin Yi, it would ease the relationship between Lin Yi and House Yu, but Yushu couldn't do it either! Not even one of them- this was what troubled Elder Yu the most.
"Father, what are you thinking about?" Xiaochen came to his father's room to find him in deep thought, not saying a word. Xiaochen couldn't help but ask.
"Xiaochen, what do you think of Lin Yi?" Elder Yu raised his head.
"Lin Yi?" Xiaochen paused, not knowing why his father would suddenly ask this question, but he answered honestly, "To be honest, I don't have any feelings for Lin Yi. If he can't be Ning's boyfriend, then he's destined to be our enemy …"
"If he can't be her boyfriend, then he has to be our enemy?" Yu Yuxing continued.
"This … Father, forgive me for being slow-witted, but I don't know what you mean by that. Is House Yu changing our strategy? But isn't Lin Yi crippled? "Xiaochen asked curiously.
"You think he's crippled too?" Yu Yuxing smiled faintly, looking at Xiaochen oddly.
Xiaochen's heart skipped a beat as he looked at his father's expression, "Could it be fake? Lin Yi isn't crippled, but he's plotting something? "
"I don't know if it's some kind of conspiracy, but today, someone in Lin Yi's villa broke through, and it's a big one, too." Elder Yu said.
"Father, you mean that Lin Yi … broke through to Sky class?" Xiaochen asked, shocked.
"It's possible!" Elder Yu nodded. "At least, I think it's possible."
"Hmm … If that's the case, then the following days will be another bloody storm. Luckily, we, the hidden house Yu didn't participate when the hidden house Zhao wanted to deal with Lin Yi." Xiaochen said with some trepidation. He was only an Earth class late phase peak- if Lin Yi were to reach Sky class, what could House Yu use to fight against Lin Yi?
They couldn't possibly complain to the Five Elements Sect that they couldn't even defeat a rogue cultivator, right? Plus, although the Five Elements Sect didn't express anything clearly, but when Little One and Little Ten went against Lin Yi, the hidden House Yu knew about it. Yet, they didn't do anything about it. It was obvious that there was some sort of secret agreement behind all of this, and this caused Yu Xiaochen to worry.
"Even if Lin Yi didn't break through, we wouldn't participate. Lin Yi isn't someone we can deal with anymore- there's no need to fight an egg against a rock. Plus … House Yu's future belongs to Yu Bing and Yu Ning- they won't be happy if Lin Yi dies." Elder Yu said with a wave of his hand. "Right, tell me why you're here. Is there something you can't decide on your own that you need to ask me?"
"Father, it's about Jin." Xiaochen was naturally talking about Yu Xiaojin, Zhao Guangyin's wife and Yu Xing's daughter- if it were anything else, Xiaochen would definitely be able to make the decision, but Xiaojin's situation was something he had to ask Elder Yu. But now, it didn't seem to be a problem anymore. "But, if Lin Yi isn't crippled at all and becomes Sky class, then this wouldn't be a problem anymore. Whether or not House Zhao can still exist is another matter."
"What's wrong with Jin?" Yu Xing asked. Xiaojin was his daughter, after all, and he couldn't just ignore her. Elder Yu wasn't the type of person who valued sons over daughters, and he treated all his children equally. This was also the reason why Yu Ning could become the head of the house in the future.
"Jin's been really depressed lately. Because of what happened with Zhao Qibing, Hidden House Zhao has fallen out with us, and Jin's been thrown into the cold palace. Right now, she's taking care of Miraculous and my nephew, living in House Zhao is having a hard time." Xiaochen sighed. "I don't know what's gotten into Old Zhao, but he wants Zhao Qibing to be the head of the house. Miraculous's position has been taken away, and Jin doesn't have the position she used to have. She's suffering, so he's calling me to tell me about it."
"If he wasn't crazy, he wouldn't have messed with Lin Yi. If I were him, I'd let that Zhao Qikun be the head of the house as soon as possible, at least I'd be able to get Lin Yi's support. I think that Old Zhao's brain has gone crazy from eating qi gathering pills. Stolen things aren't that good!" Elder Yu curled his lips. "You're right- House Zhao doesn't even exist anymore. Let her find a chance to come back. If she can't come back in time, Lin Yi's already gone. Tell her to tell Lin Yi that she's Yu Bing and Xiao Ning's aunt, and Miraculous is Yu Bing and Xiao Ning's brother. Lin Yi will give her some leeway."
Elder Yu understood Lin Yi very well- he knew that Lin Yi was very lenient towards his followers and the people around his women- Elder Yu was confused as to why Lin Yi didn't punish them after such a huge mistake, but this showed how lenient Lin Yi was towards his followers.
And Zhao Qikun, who was able to enter the villa today, was the same. Lin Yi didn't drag Qikun into this because of his anger towards House Zhao.
"Yes, father, I understand," Yu Xiaochen nodded and left.
… …
Ice Palace.
Crystal Candy listened to Aunt Qing- Qijiu had given all the elixirs he got to Qikun, and it went without saying that he was giving it to Lin Yi.
But, Bingtang didn't stop him- her feelings towards Lin Yi were very complicated. She kept reminding herself that Lin Yi was an evil man, not only seducing her own sister, but also making her own sister fall in love with him. These two were inheritors, and she wasn't.
If they accepted the inheritance, they'd definitely be stronger than her, and they'd be willing to follow Lin Yi. She was just a little wife, what advantage did she have? Her arrogance from before would probably become a joke, wouldn't it?
And so, in her mind, Lin Yi should just die. Once he was dead, everything would be over. That way, she wouldn't have to think of him naked every time she thought of him. That evil thing would mess with her.
