Chapter 1375 — Probing Fact and Fiction
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Earth Rank is certainly out of the question." Pi Zhifeng waved his hand. "Hidden houses have their own rules, and above them the Arbitration Association watches over the balance between us. Jin Wudi came out into the world only after approval. Our Pi family meddled in secular affairs on the pretext of investigating Pi Bo's death, but our true aim was to scoop up money, which is different from Jin Wudi's case. So the Pi family had best stay discreet. Since others are not troubling us, we cannot possibly take the initiative to apply for anything..."
"I see..." Xiao Ji was disappointed. "Then still a Mystic Rank fighter?"
"Yes. In the secular world, a Mystic Rank fighter is all but supreme, so long as you do not provoke beings like Wei Zhao and Er Goudan." Pi Zhifeng said. "I will go back now. What happened here I must still report to my father."
"Young Master Pi, you say that Hero Goudan could beat an Earth Rank fighter to death, so what rank is he? How is he allowed to appear here?" Xiao Ben asked in puzzlement.
"Above the hidden houses there are mightier existences you know nothing of. It is better that you do not know. Knowing too much about some things is not necessarily a good thing." Pi Zhifeng said.
"Yes..." Xiao Ben's expression turned solemn, and he dared ask no further, respectfully seeing Pi Zhifeng out of the Xiao house.
After leaving the Xiao house, Pi Zhifeng did not return directly to the Pi family. Instead he found a deserted place and dialed his father Pi Jiake's number.
"Zhishan, how goes it over there? Is Wei Zhao dead?" Pi Jiake asked.
"Father, there has been an accident. Jin Wudi has been beaten to death..." Pi Zhifeng said.
"What? Beaten to death? What happened? Who beat him to death?" Pi Jiake froze, then asked hurriedly.
Pi Zhifeng told his father every detail of what had happened, without the least concealment, including his own apology to Er Goudan.
"Zhishan, you did nothing wrong! Bowing your head at such a moment was right. A true man can bend and can stretch. If things are truly as you say, then a great problem lies hidden here. With a mere follower of Wei Zhao so formidable, he is likely a man of that ancient level..." Pi Jiake said gravely. "If that is truly so, then our Pi family absolutely cannot afford to provoke him."
"Yes, Father, but the strange thing is, when Er Goudan struck, I felt no fluctuation of power from him at all, as if he were no cultivator!" This was what puzzled Pi Zhifeng.
"Oh? No fluctuation of power? How is that possible? Whether an internal-style or an external-style fighter, in striking he must reveal his own strength. That is impossible to hide even if one wished to. How could you feel nothing?" Pi Jiake asked in surprise.
"That is my sole doubt." Pi Zhifeng said.
"Then probe in secret. With your skill, that Er Goudan should not detect you. As an external-style fighter you are better at hiding your aura. Look into it and see if you can find any clue!" Pi Jiake said.
"Very well. I have not left yet anyway, so I will take a look." Pi Zhifeng nodded.
Hanging up the phone, Pi Zhifeng sped swiftly toward the Gu family villa.
