House Zhao's Head
So, Lin Yi probably had a huge family backing him, but which hidden house did he come from?
In order to deal with Lin Yi, he had to get to the bottom of Lin Yi's background. He couldn't act recklessly. If Lin Yi really was a master nurtured by a hidden house and was killed by him, then that hidden house would go all out against House Zhao!
Mystic at twenty, his future was limitless. He might even reach the late phase of Earth class or even Sky class! If House Zhao killed him, then Lin Yi's family would go crazy.
But, they couldn't rule out the possibility that Lin Yi was just lucky, or maybe he ate some miraculous elixir, or maybe he broke through on his own. If that was the case, then they could just kill Lin Yi right away!
It was the first time Cihua heard the head of the house speak in such a tone. He paused for a moment, but still replied, "Alright, I understand."
The ambulance came, and Cihua sent Master Bing and Uncle Zhu to the hospital for some simple treatment. Then, he waited for Yaowang to come personally.
Guangyin, on the other hand, put down the phone and sighed. He stood up with a serious expression, walked out of the room, and walked towards an independent villa.
"Young master, you're here." Guangyin was stopped by an old man the moment he arrived at the door. The old man spoke politely, but he didn't seem to have any intention of letting Guangyin in.
"Elder Bi, I'm here to see my father." Guangyin didn't mind at all. Instead, he spoke respectfully to the old man. This was because Elder Bi was one of the few masters left in House Zhao, a guard of House Zhao. He was Guangyin's father's right-hand man. He was single, unmarried, and had no children. He stayed by Guangyin's father's side even when he was old, being a responsible right-hand man.
"Please wait a moment, young master. I'll report to the head of the house." Elder Bi nodded and went back into the villa, while Guangyin stood at the door respectfully, not daring to do anything.
After a while, Elder Bi came out again and nodded to Guangyin, "Young leader, the leader wants you in."
In actuality, Zhao Guangyin was already the head of the Zhao family. Old Zhao had stepped down from the position a few years ago to focus on cultivation. But in Elder Bi's eyes, Old Zhao would always be the head of the Zhao family, and Guangyin was just the young head.
However, Zhao Guangyin didn't have any other thoughts about this form of address. After all, although he was the head of the family, there were many situations where he had to ask his father for instructions. He could use the mystic class masters in the family, but earth class masters like Elder Bi, he couldn't!
Zhao Guangyin respectfully entered the villa and saw that his father was already sitting in the living room, quietly sipping on a cup of tea. Zhao Guangyin hurriedly bowed and said, "Father!"
"Yes, what do you need me for?" Old Zhao had always been focused on cultivation, looking for the opportunity to break through to earth class. He didn't really care about the family's business anymore, and unless it was something big, Guangyin wouldn't bother him.
In actuality, the hidden noble houses didn't care about the common world's business. Although they had some companies and representatives in the common world, they weren't as powerful as the four great worlds and the five small noble houses!
These people were just there to make money for the family, and they didn't need much in terms of material needs. With the wealth they had accumulated over the generations, they didn't even need to run a company outside to survive.
Running a company outside meant that they didn't want to run out of money, so they used the profits to keep the family afloat. They didn't want to touch the family business if they could. That was the only way to ensure the family's prosperity.
The most important thing was that the hidden noble houses had an agreement with each other to not get involved in the common world's business. Otherwise, the common world would be filled with Wulin masters, and the rules would be messed up. If they all came out, would the noble houses still have a way out?
Plus, they pursued the highest level of martial arts, and their desire was to reach the peak and live forever. They had no interest in the outside world.
"Dad, Lil 'Bing's legs were crippled, and Mr. Zhu was seriously injured …" Zhao Guangyin naturally had to report such a big matter to the Old Master.
"Oh?" Old Zhao's eyes flashed, "Lil 'Zhu is a mystic early phase, right? How did he get injured? Other than the Yu branch, who else in the common world would have a master like that? "
Old Zhao's words were like a wake-up call. Guangyin suddenly remembered that his wife's family was House Yu, wasn't it? Could it be that his wife found out that he had a bastard son outside, and sent someone to deal with Zhao Qibing?
Qibing's face changed at the thought, and he started to get nervous, "Could it be House Yu? Did Yu Xiaojin find out about Lil 'Bing? "
Yu Xiaojin was Qibing's wife, a member of House Yu. She was the youngest daughter of House Yu, and Old Yu loved her dearly. It was possible that it was Yu Xiaojin who did it!
"Xiaojin knew about Lil 'Bing a long time ago. She didn't cause trouble with you because she's a sensible person. If you didn't bring Zhao Qibing back, she'd turn a blind eye to it. As for sending someone to deal with Lil 'Bing, that's impossible. " Old Zhao said, "Unless Lil 'Bing threatens her son's position, which is your youngest son."
"So it's not House Yu?" Guangyin paused, not expecting his wife to know about Zhao Qibing. He thought she didn't know! He couldn't help but smile bitterly at the thought. The women of House Yu were really not simple!
It was a marriage of mutual benefit, but she'd been gentle and polite all these years, taking care of his daily life. It was hard to imagine that she used to be the daughter of House Yu.
"I didn't say that. Old Yu isn't someone who likes to lose out, and he loves Xiaojin the most. It's possible that he'd send someone to deal with Lil 'Bing for Xiaojin." Old Zhao shook his head, "Don't put too much hope on Lil 'Bing. I don't think he's a spoiled young master. Of course, our Zhao family won't be bullied so easily. I understand this matter. Spread the word and put a bounty on this person's head among all the hidden families. If other families speak up, then consider it. If no one says anything, then that means this person isn't from a hidden family! "
