"Hmm… Xiaopo, you've observed carefully!" Han Tianba nodded slowly. "But although Wei Zhao protects his own, if you harbor any intention of using him and he sees through it, that too would be disaster…"
"Grandfather, Xiaopo has no intention of using Boss at all!" Han Xiaohu said. "Boss possesses such great power and prestige—I truly want to be his underling. That way, I can learn more, and my strength can improve too!"
"Since that's the case, I'll say no more!" Han Tianba said. "This is an opportunity for our Hidden Han Family. If we grasp it well, we can turn our fortunes around; if we grasp it poorly, we're doomed beyond saving! But if we don't grasp it at all, we're equally doomed—so our only choice is to stake everything on Wei Zhao."
"Yes, Grandfather!" Han Xiaohu said. "And I've promised Boss Wei Zhao that if I become the head of the Hidden Han Family in the future, I will follow his lead in all things!"
Han Tianba's gaze sharpened as he looked at Han Xiaohu. In Han Xiaohu he saw ambition! Han Xiaohu actually wanted to contend for the position of young family head of the Hidden Han Family—and he had said so openly, without the slightest concealment, which took Han Tianba somewhat aback.
Yet Han Tianba did not rebuke him. Instead he said, "If at this Hidden World Clan Summit our Hidden Han Family really does rely on Wei Zhao to win a few matches and escape our current predicament, then it will prove that Wei Zhao truly has ability. From then on, the heavy task of cultivating ties with him will fall on your shoulders!"
"Yes, Grandfather!" How could Han Xiaohu fail to catch the implication in Han Tianba's words? He said at once, somewhat delighted.
"You may go. I'll make some preparations here, and have your Uncle Han Jiu look into the other competition events. If Wei Zhao can win a few more matches—heh—then those clans scheming against our Hidden Han Family will learn what it means to go for wool and come home shorn!" Thinking of Wei Zhao's fearsome reputation, Han Tianba felt a measure of confidence.
After Wei Zhao returned to school, he temporarily put the matter of competing on the Hidden Han Family's behalf at the Hidden World Clan Summit out of his mind, and instead began pondering the matter of the Qi-Gathering Pill.
The Qi-Gathering Pill was a Yellow-rank third-grade pill. Like the Ice Heart Jade Bone Pill that the heaven-rank little miss Bingtang was going to refine, it too was a Yellow-rank third-grade pill.
