Chapter 2976 — Many Things Have Happened

Yet Yu Bing's question brought a strange look to Zhao Qilei's face. "The Yu family... has not taken revenge. Not only have they not taken revenge—they helped Leader Wei Zhao..."
"What do you mean?" Yu Bing was dumbfounded at Zhao Qilei's words, thinking he had misheard. "Are you talking about our hidden Yu family?"
"Speaking from where I stand, what other Yu family could it be? The secular Yu family no longer exists..." Zhao Qilei smiled bitterly, and recounted to Yu Bing and Zhao Qiwu what had happened the day Yu Yi appeared.
At Zhao Qilei's account, Yu Bing's mouth fell open and stayed open for a long while. "You're saying Senior Yu Yi came in person?"
"Yes. Zhao Qibing knows him—there can be no mistake," Zhao Qilei nodded. "However, we of the hidden Zhao family suspect that the Yu family acted because of your younger sister, Yu Ning."
"What? My sister... Xiao Ning can already command Yu Yi to do things?" Yu Bing felt the world was changing far too fast. He had been at the Ice Palace less than a year—how had the outside world been turned upside down in that time?
"That's not quite it. There was a small episode before that..." Zhao Qilei then told Yu Bing how Zhao Qibing and Yu Shan had colluded in an attempt to violate Yu Ning, and how Wei Zhao had rescued her and sent her back to the hidden Yu family.
"So that means Leader Wei Zhao's relations with our hidden Yu family must have eased—otherwise Grandfather could never have sent Yu Yi to help! Wonderful, wonderful—my sister's wish can finally come true..." Yu Bing was overjoyed; it was the first smile he had shown since hearing of Wei Zhao's injury. The relationship between Wei Zhao and the hidden Yu family had always weighed heaviest on Yu Bing's mind. He had originally planned to return from his studies at the Ice Palace and, after taking charge of the Yu family, deal with the matter between his sister and Wei Zhao. But never had he expected that, with him absent from the family, a twist of fate would instead have established a friendship between Wei Zhao and the Yu family.
"Though that's good news, the leader's injuries have never ceased to weigh on me," Zhao Qilei said, less than pleased. "After all, Leader Wei Zhao's enemies are not only my grandfather—there are also the Qianshan Sect, the Jinzhong Sect, and the hidden You family. True, those families and sects may be wary of Yu Yi's interference, but the Night Palace and the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow sect are the leader's enemies as well!"
Though the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow sect had not yet made its move, Zhao Qilei was deeply worried about what would happen if they did. When that time came, they would not have the good fortune they had enjoyed with the Night Palace before—on that occasion the intervention of the Heavenly Silkworm Transformation had come about because the trial's rewards were at stake. The Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow sect would certainly not invoke the trial's rewards, and the Xuandan Sect would naturally not interfere again...
"Why are the Night Palace and the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow sect involved too? Aren't those two ancient sects?" Yu Bing's expression changed again at once.
"That has to begin with the Xuandan Sect's trial..." So much had happened in this stretch of time that Zhao Qilei could only recount it bit by bit; he went over the ins and outs of the Xuandan Sect's trial once more for Yu Bing and Zhao Qiwu...
