Chapter 1590 — Young Master Bing's Reaction
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
After finishing the call, Zhu the Clan Chief turned back to find Chen Xi — he had to give her instructions: "Chen Xi, Grandpa Zhu has something important to attend to and will be away for a while, perhaps a few days. In the meantime, keep scavenging on your own. But don't neglect the cultivation technique I've taught you, and don't breathe a word of it to anyone!"
"Don't worry, Grandpa Zhu — go ahead and take care of your business!" Chen Xi replied obediently.
"Good. And be sure to take the cultivation elixir I gave you on schedule." With that, Clan Chief Zhu turned and strode away quickly. His heart was burning with urgency — Uncle Zhu was his own brother, and now his life was unknown after the beating. He wished he could race there at once.
When Clan Chief Zhu saw Uncle Zhu lying in the hospital bed with every meridian in his body shattered, he was consumed by both grief and rage! Prior to this, Uncle Zhu had taken the Meridian Unblocking Pill and his future had been bright — if Clan Chief Zhu had guided him a bit more, breaking through to the Earth-tier would have been no great difficulty!
But now, Uncle Zhu was a crippled man who might not even survive, let alone cultivate! Most tragically, the Meridian Unblocking Pill had been taken for nothing!
"Aaaargh!" Clan Chief Zhu gnashed his teeth in fury: "That boy Wu Chengtian — I will tear him to a thousand pieces! I'm going after him for revenge right now!"
"Clan Chief Zhu, please calm yourself!" Zhao Qibing was startled when he heard Clan Chief Zhu wanted to seek revenge immediately. If Clan Chief Zhu went now, he could indeed kill Wu Chengtian — but he would certainly draw the attention of the Hidden Family Arbitration Association. Once that happened, dealing with Wei Zhao would become impossible!
After all, the one to deal with was Wei Zhao — Wu Chengtian was merely a minor figure, one of Wei Zhao's underlings. Zhao Qibing's hatred was directed solely at Wei Zhao; he had no mood to squabble with a mere lackey.
Moreover, the most pressing matter right now was that his grandfather was in seclusion — the Zhao family stood at a moment of life and death, with not even the slightest margin for error. If the Hidden Family Arbitration Association were to take notice at precisely this moment, it would certainly bode ill, and the matter of the Qi Gathering Pill might be exposed as well!
Furthermore, Zhao Qilei had returned and was eyeing the position of young patriarch of the Zhao family like a tiger eyeing prey. If Zhao Qibing caused trouble here, Zhao Qilei would surely not let it rest easily — and when the time came, even Elder Bi would find himself in a difficult position!
Ever since Zhao Qibing had become Elder Bi's disciple, he had come to think far more deeply than before. In the past, Zhao Qibing had harbored no grand ambitions — he saw himself as nothing more than an illegitimate son, and simply making a name for himself and winning the Zhao family's recognition would have been good enough!
But now, Elder Bi had given him hope — the chance to rise in a single bound and become the young patriarch of the hidden Zhao family. Naturally, Zhao Qibing could no longer be as reckless as he once was.
"Oh? Young Master Bing, your own legs are broken — why won't you let me go seek revenge?" Clan Chief Zhu was taken aback. If Zhao Qibing had been uninjured and tried to stop him, he might have harbored suspicions, thinking Zhao Qibing didn't want revenge for Uncle Zhu at all. But Zhao Qibing's legs were broken too, and yet he still wouldn't allow it — clearly, there was more to the matter than met the eye.
