Chapter 1473 – Other Allies

Because Lin Yi thought that there was nothing else that he had that would interest the sect!

A Fire Spirit’s fruit could be bought for money, but two fruits- it was unlikely that the Ice Palace would just sell them, Lin Yi would probably have to exchange one for the pill.

At that time, Yu Bing would see the pill for sure, and think of Elder Yu’s situation- he would definitely suspect him, so he might as well come clean now! Naturally, Lin Yi didn’t know that Elder Yu lied about not finding the pill after coming back, even telling them that he didn’t find anything in the first place!

“It’s not peace between us, just peace between you and my father… This type of thing belongs to whoever gets it so there is no hate there,” Yu Bing said, “But now I get it- that’s why you were confident enough to say you can handle an Earth class. It is a pity though, my father is only one step away from breaking into Sky class…”

“I’m planning on using this to exchange for the fruit, so sorry I can’t give it to you. I know how important it is to your house, but it is very important to me too,” Lin Yi said, “Though, I did leave one for Elder Yu- did he not give it back to your father? Do you guys have someone else who wanted to break into Sky class?”

“What?! You left one for him?” Yu Bing froze, “You’re saying that… Elder Yu- he has one more qi gathering pill?”

“Yeah, what- you didn’t know?” Lin Yi looked at him, confused, “Did he not tell you?”

“No…” Yu Bing took a deep breath as his face turned dark, “It seems like the Yu’s from the common house aren’t on our side after all. He hid that pill for himself…”

“House Yu? You’re saying that Elder Yu is from the common House Yu? Could it be that he is the Earth class elder brother of Yu Shuixing?” Lin Yi paused.

“Yes, that’s him.” Yu Bing smiled coldly, “This time there’s no need to worry- if Yu Huoxing really did take that pill for himself, then there won’t be any reason for the hidden house to back them up anymore. The conflict you have between us and the hidden House Yu can also be written off, too…”

“That’s not where the problem is, it’s with Ning herself…” Lin Yi wasn’t too willing to bring it up, but now that they were talking about it, there was no turning back, “Your house has placed too strong of an expectation on her, and too low of an expectation placed on me… I don’t know if this will change at all, at least for now… Plus, I… have a girlfriend now…”

“You… have a girlfriend already?” Yu Bing paused- he’d only been paying attention to all the commotion Lin Yi had been causing in Songshan with him fighting so many groups and powers. He did not spend any time investigating his personal life… This really made his heart sink when Lin Yi brought it up.

He wondered if his sister would be able to accept this. But he couldn’t blame Lin Yi- he never promised his sister anything in the first place, after all, it was his sister’s one-sided willingness to wait.

Yu Bing even thought at first that it was because his sister hadn’t been exposed to the outside world before that she fell in love with Lin Yi so easily- as long as she spent some time away from him and met other promising boys, she would forget him eventually.

But that wasn’t the case- as the instances of him meeting Lin Yi increased and increased, he realized just how miraculous this person was, and this time especially- he really did respect him.

This guy had the guts to do anything- fighting and snatching something away from an Earth class tiger- that was something that Yu Bing, even with his background, didn’t dare to do. And here Lin Yi was, having done that and succeeded. This was not something to be taken lightly.

“Yeah, I do,” Lin Yi nodded, “I have two…”

Lin Yi didn’t hide anything. His point was to let Yu Bing tell Yu Ning that not only did he have a girlfriend, he had two and was not the loyal type of man- with someone like her in her position, she should give up.

But Lin Yi didn’t expect that Yu Bing did not even flinch at that comment- he thought that Lin Yi was the stoic and traditional type of guy, but it seemed not. Now that he had two girlfriends, it didn’t matter if his sister joined- it seemed disadvantageous for his sister, but if Lin Yi really had been the traditional type, then she would not have a chance in the first place

So he didn’t think much of it- though that was also in part because he was born in a hidden house. Having three or four wives was a common occurrence in hidden houses, and unless the wife was extremely strong with a powerful background, only then would they only take one wife for the sake of the alliance.

Like Zhao Guangyin of House Zhao- he only had Yu Xiaojin as a wife, but even then, he had a bastard son out in the common world, and it was no secret either.

And Yu Bing’s father also acquired two more mistresses later, it was just that they never had children. So, Yu Bing was quite open minded.

“Two already? Then having one more should be fine- haha, Ning will be glad, she still has a chance!” Yu Bing laughed.

“Wha?!” Lin Yi almost fainted after hearing Yu Bing’s words- it seemed that not only did he not make Yu Bing give up, he even gave him more confidence! What the hell was wrong with this hidden house?

“What’s wrong?” Yu Bing didn’t understand why Lin Yi was so surprised.

“Nothing…” Lin Yi smiled bitterly, “Other than me, does House Yu have any other allies here?”

“House Yu does- with House Zhao as relatives. However, the one that came this time wasn’t the eldest son of House Zhao, but Qikun instead. He’s with my cousin right now, and the two are evidently a team now…” Yu Bing smiled bitterly, “Every family has that sort of problem, so other than you, I really don’t know who I can make an alliance with…”

“Ah… It’s alright, we’ll just go walk around and see who came from the other families. Even if we can’t become allies, we can get friendly at least- or we can show them our strength if that doesn’t work, so they’ll leave us alone during the test!” Lin Yi’s goal was simple- if they couldn’t become friends, then they should at least try to avoid being enemies with them. If someone really were to use a hostile attitude, Lin Yi didn’t mind showing off some of his power now to prevent them from causing trouble during the test.

This was also what he did with Qikun before, though after listening to what Yu Bing said, Lin Yi and Qikun couldn’t be allies anymore. By instinct, he knew that House Zhao wouldn’t be pissed at him with the whole thing with Zhao Qibing, so even if they knew about him, it was still fine. Even just by looking at how he was trying to get on Yu Shan’s good side, one could easily see his intentions.
