Chapter 1432 – According to Plan
“Can… Can I really ask for anything? Will you grant me anything I ask for, grandfather?” Qibing said after some hesitation, pretending to look greddy for a second.
“Naturally, I’ll keep my promise!” Looking at his face, Old Zhao had a trace of disappointment in his eyes. He thought that the bastard who grew up in the common world may be a little bit special, but who knew? Under the promise of wishes, the man showed his true colors! However, this was also the man who achieved a great feat for the sake of their hosue- as long as he made a wish, he would have to fulfill it. This not only mattered in terms of his reputation, it was also something he had to do for the sake of how other people saw him. Anyone who contributed to House Zhao must be rewarded!
“Then… I’ll make a request that might be outrageous!” Qibing gritted his teeth, as if he was about to say something big after thinking it over repeatedly.
“Speak.” Old Zhao didn’t feel pleased, but he didn’t show that on the outside.
“Grandpa… I know that this is a bit unreasonable, but I must say it!” Qibing said, “Grandpa, I hope that you will be able to give me a nerve opening elixir, please grant me this request!”
“Huh?” Old Zhao paused- he thought that Qibing would ask to be the next heir. He would, of course, say yes, but that would also mean that he would have seen the true colors of Qibing. If he didn’t have any other achievements in the future, he could always just kick him out.
But the guy was asking for a nerve opening pill! It might be an expensive one, but it wasn’t like Qibing could use it, could he? This was something that was only used by practitioners when all their nerves were destroyed- not only was Qibing not a practitioner, he didn’t even have nerve damage. Why would he need this?
“I know that the elixir is really expensive…” Qibing said disappointedly once he saw the shock on his grandpa’s face.
“You want a nerve opening elixir?” Old Zhao was confused, “It may be expensive, but compared to a pi gathering pill, it’s an absolute world of difference. I’m just curious- why do you need this pill?”
“Well, this is what happened. Uncle Zhu is one of my men, and he risked his life to protect me. All his nerves were destroyed by that Lin Yi, and now he has fallen from Mystic to Golden class… I don’t want to see him lose his strength just like that, so I hope to get him a pill so that he can practition again!” Qibing said.
“Oh? Is that why?” Old Zhao was completely surprised- he never expected for Qibing to ask for a pill for Uncle Zhu! A chance like this, where Qibing could ask for anything big… And he gave it to someone else! This made Old Zhao completely re-evaluate him- he might really have misjudged his grandson! This was a man of loyalty and friendship!
From looking for the pill and asking for the elixir for Uncle Zhu- this was enough proof of his selflessness, and it really moved Old Zhao! The bastard who grew up in the common world really was different!
“Yes! I hope you will grant me this request, grandpa!” Qibing said solemnly.
“Alright! I will grant this request! But this is something that we should do in the first place- lil’ Zhu is your follower which means that he is mine as well- giving him this pill is the least we could do to take responsibility!” Elder Zhao nodded, “This one doesn’t count- if there is anything else you want, do say it!”
This time, he really did want Qibing to make another request- after all, with the sheer power of his contribution to the house, the old man, himself, would feel guilty if he didn’t ask for anything!
“Bu, grandpa, I really don’t have any other requests…” Qibing said after some thought, shaking his head.
“Qibing, do you want to become a practitioner?” Elder Bi said suddenly.
“That’s… Of course I want to, but I’ve already passed the age for when it is best to become a practitioner, it’s too late for me…” Qibing smiled bitterly.
“That is fine- since you’ve heard of nerve opening pills and qi gathering pills, you should be aware of a pill called the foundation pill- it can change your nerves and bone structure, allowing you to step onto path of practitioning!” Elder Bi turned to Old Zhao, “Head of the house, I have a request- I’d like to take Qibing as my disciple, please grant me this request!”
“Oh? Lil Bi, you’re willing to take on a disciple now? This is a surprise- with so many people wanting to be under your mentorship, you’ve rejected them all, only to bring this up yourself?” Old Zhao looked at him, shocked.
“Zhao Qibing is a man of good nature- with his contribution to House Zhao, he is exactly what I’m looking for in a disciple!” Elder Bi said.
“Since that is the case, I’ll make a decision for Qibing here- and let Qibing follow you in the arts of practitioning!” OLd Zhao nodded, although feeling a bit shocked. Old Zhao didn’t say who would be the next heir, but Elder Bi’s attitude here was very important!
Once he went into Sky class, he would go and pursue the higher Sky arts- this meant that all the major things regarding the house would fall on Zhao Guangyin and Elder Bi. Whoever Elder Bi liked, he would foster him into becoming the next heir- it seemed like Qibing was the one with the most hope!
But he didn’t stop Elder Bi. Since Qibing was of Zhao blood, with an immense contribution along with a good nature- there was no reason for him to be temporarily raised by him.
“Qibing, greet your shifu,” Guangyin was feeling conflicted as well, but was also overwhelmed with joy! Qibing was his son, and now that Elder Bi was taking him as student, that meant that Qibing’s status would keep going up. He could even have a chance at becoming the heir!
“Greetings, shifu!” Qibing happily bent down to kneel, but his legs weren’t recovered yet, and it caused him to flip over the wheelchair and fall, almost breaking his skull!
“No need for that, wait until you’ve healed!” Elder Bi said, very happy that Qibing was a respectful man towards his mentor as he helped him back to his chair with asmile.
“Alright, Qibing, maybe you don’t understand the meaning of Lil’ Bi taking you as his student yet, but let Guangyin explain it to you later. I need to go into isolated practitioning now, you must work hard!” Old Zhao nodded to Qibing- he was getting excited to practition now.
“Don’t worry, grandpa, I won’t let you or shifu down, I’ll try my best to practition, and one day, become Sky class like you, grandpa!” Qibing’s words essentially made it so that he was respecting his old man as a Sky class, even though he still hadn’t reached it yet.
