Chapter 1591 — Class Reunion

"It's like this..." Zhu Lingtou was also a diehard loyalist of the hidden Zhao family. Having heard that the Zhao family's old master and Elder Bi had both given their word, he naturally understood they must hold back for now. But Zhu Lingtou still had some questions: "Then Young Master Bing, the purpose of your calling me here this time is...?"
"Revenge — that's certain, but not right now!" Zhao Qibing gritted his teeth. "That bastard Wei Zhao, I'll kill him sooner or later! But the priority right now is to find a way to treat Uncle Zhu's injuries and help him recover as quickly as possible. Even if he can't cultivate anymore, at least his life must be saved! He's my Zhao Qibing's man — even if he's a cripple, I, Zhao Qibing, will still keep him!"
"Young Master Bing is truly a wise and merciful master! What have we brothers of the Zhu family done to deserve such favor from you? Rest assured, Young Master Bing — I, Zhu Lingtou, will never let you down!" Zhu Lingtou was immediately overcome with emotion. Although he felt there was a performative element to what the Young Master was doing — after all, keeping a cripple didn't cost much — this kind of genuine loyalty still moved him!
"Secondly, we can't act openly right now, but we can plan things out, see if there's a way to strike in secret! We'll have to consult my master on this matter!" Zhao Qibing said. "Zhu Lingtou, you're a trump card — you can't be played recklessly! Right now, only Grandfather and Master know that you've broken through to the Earth-tier. Zhao Qilei and the others shouldn't know yet. So as my secret weapon in the struggle for the patriarch's seat, you mustn't show yourself too early!"
"I understand!" Zhu Lingtou nodded quickly and replied.
"I called you here to also urge you not to be too rash — we must be careful and cautious right now!" Zhao Qibing said. "Until Grandfather comes out of seclusion, staying steady is the top priority."
"Rest assured, Young Master Bing — I will not be reckless. I'll keep the bigger picture in mind and won't act on my own without authorization," Zhu Lingtou said.
"Good!" Zhao Qibing said. "I've already sent word to Master — he'll probably learn about this news very soon."
When Zhao Qibing sent the message to the Zhao family, he heard that Elder Bi was visiting Old Master Zhao and naturally had no time to take the call. After the visit ended, he would contact Zhao Qibing.
Just as they were talking, Elder Bi's call came in.
"Qibing, what do you need me for?" On the other end, Elder Bi had just finished visiting Old Master Zhao. Upon hearing that Zhao Qibing was looking for him, he called back promptly.
"Master, something major has happened over here..." Zhao Qibing recounted everything that had happened in full detail, including his instructions and analysis regarding Zhu Lingtou.
"Qibing, you've done very well!" Elder Bi said approvingly. "One who achieves great things must be able to endure momentary rage. Sometimes, compromise doesn't mean defeat — it means wisdom!"
"Yes, Master. I'll keep your words in mind. Until Grandfather comes out of seclusion, I must keep a low profile," Zhao Qibing said. "In your view, Master, what should we do at present?"
