Chapter 1557 — Wei Zhao's Sigh: "Good, Really Good, My Good Disciple, Where Did You Learn Such Medical Skill?" The Strange Man Was Both Shocked and Delighted: "Yes, You Must Have Gone to Study Medicine When You Saw How Much Your Master Suffered; No Wonder Your Master Could Not Find You!"

If he wanted to face these ancient families and ancient sects head-on, it would be absolutely impossible without power of his own. These aristocratic families and hidden families could become Wei Zhao's support — as long as he drew them into his camp, his influence, though still unable to contend with the ancient sects and ancient families, would at least have the strength to challenge them, and he would not be as passive as he was today!
This was the first time Wei Zhao had thought of winning over allies. When he had come to Songshan City before, he had only meant to carry out his mission and had never intended to get too deeply involved, but now he had no choice but to plan for the future!
For himself, and for his loved ones and friends, Wei Zhao had already set foot on a road of no return. This road had veered from the course he and even Old Wei had once envisioned. Now Wei Zhao was like a boat sailing against the current — to stop advancing was to fall back. Only by pressing ever forward on the path of the strong could he better protect himself and protect his loved ones and friends!
In the past, Wei Zhao had never imagined he would one day step onto this road, yet before he knew it he had gone further and further along it, and when he suddenly stopped, he found he could no longer turn back.
And the first step Wei Zhao had to take was to confirm the usable resources under his command! As for the loyalty of Yu Bing, Wu Chengtian, Chen Yuxuan, and Qiu Lingshan, that went without saying. Now Wei Zhao wanted to see what Zhao Qilei was thinking. If he was only thinking of using each other, Wei Zhao would still help him, only he would not bring him into his core camp.
Hearing Wei Zhao's words, Zhao Qilei immediately fell into deep thought.
Though he was a slick man, he was no fool, and he naturally understood what Wei Zhao meant by asking this now. He did not agree outright, for that would have seemed too false, and this was not a matter to be blind about!
He knew Wei Zhao's methods — toward enemies, they were always utterly ruthless. His illegitimate brother was proof enough of that. So Zhao Qilei would never do something like agreeing first and going back on it later.
He had to think it through carefully! Wei Zhao was asking him to take a stand, and Zhao Qilei knew that once he nodded now, he would henceforth be a man of Wei Zhao's camp, and going back on it would cost him dearly!
To bind himself, and even the hidden Zhao family he might control in the future, to Wei Zhao's chariot — he had to deliberate long and hard!
"Yes, I have made up my mind!" After a moment of hesitation, Zhao Qilei gritted his teeth and nodded firmly!
