Chapter 1439 — Bing Shao Returns Home in Glory
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
The Geili Fuyun Bar was not yet open for business. It had just opened its doors that morning, and the waiters inside were cleaning. When Zhao Qibing walked in, the waiters recognized him, but all were astonished!
Their boss usually sat in a wheelchair. How could he walk today? None of them dared to ask, for his legs were normally a taboo subject that no one was allowed to mention casually.
"Boss, you are back!" the waiters greeted Zhao Qibing one after another.
In the inner room, Su Jiaonang heard the commotion outside and hurried out with Li Cihua. In the daytime there was no one in the bar, so the sounds outside were unusually clear. Hearing the waiters call for the boss, Su Jiaonang and Li Cihua at once came out.
"Bing Shao, you are back! Your legs..." Li Cihua asked in surprise when he saw Zhao Qibing return.
"My legs were naturally healed by my master." Zhao Qibing smiled. "Cihua, this is my master, Elder Bi. Come and pay your respects!"
"Yes!" Li Cihua was startled inwardly. As one of Zhao Guangyin's men, he knew something of the hidden Zhao family and knew Elder Bi's identity. Elder Bi was Old Master Zhao's personal bodyguard, a figure of Grand Elder rank to come. That he had taken Zhao Qibing as his disciple, did that not mean Zhao Qibing might become the Young Master of the Zhao family?
Li Cihua hardly dared to imagine it! On the day he first followed Zhao Qibing, he had been rather unwilling, thinking he would make some achievements with Zhao Qibing and then petition Zhao Guangyin to return to the Zhao family for other duties. In his heart he had felt an illegitimate son could never amount to much. Yet now, beyond all expectation, Zhao Qibing had risen to the sky in a single step!
"This lowly one greets Elder Bi!" Li Cihua greeted Elder Bi with reverence.
At that moment Uncle Zhu and the Medicine King also came out from the inner room. They too had heard that Elder Bi had come. In the Zhao family they were both under Elder Bi's charge, so how could they fail to come out and pay their respects?
The Medicine King especially knew Elder Bi's medical skill well, and knew that Elder Bi also held the post of chief physician of the family, which made him all the more respectful.
"Greetings, Elder Bi!" After coming out, Uncle Zhu and the Medicine King both greeted Elder Bi with humble deference.
"Little Zhu, the master you follow is truly a kind-hearted man, loyal and righteous!" Since Elder Bi had already taken Zhao Qibing as his disciple, he began to plan for him and win hearts for him, so he said directly, "Do you know what Qibing said when the Old Master asked him what reward he wanted after he rendered great service to the family this time?"
"I do not know..." Uncle Zhu's heart tightened. He had not expected Elder Bi to cherish Zhao Qibing so dearly as to speak up for him. In the Zhao family, countless younger members wished to curry favor with Elder Bi, yet had no way in!
