Then there was Zhao Qibing. Though the hidden Zhao family's influence in Donghai City was fading day by day as Wei Zhao set foot there, the hidden Han family—which had always kept its head down—was slowly making its voice heard in Donghai City. Of course, everyone knew they were in fact Wei Zhao's spokesmen, and the hidden Zhao family knew it too, but there was nothing to be done.
Old Bi was still barely clinging to life, and now word suddenly came that Wei Zhao had killed a Heaven-rank expert of the Red Conch. Only a handful of people knew of it, yet in the cultivation world there were scarcely any secrets to speak of—Wei Zhao himself had never expected the news to spread so fast.
Wei Zhao had not told Wu Chengtian to keep it quiet: the more his victories over higher-ranked foes spread, the better for him. This was a crucial period of growth for Wei Zhao. His only course was to keep intimidating the petty schemers in his path so they dared not act rashly—and then, by the time they came to their senses, he would already be standing over their heads, leaving them no room to turn the tables.
Wu Chengtian shared Wei Zhao's exploits with Wu Gonggao, Pi Zhifeng, Han Xiaohu and the others, and they in turn spread the tale abroad, so that before long even the hidden Zhao family had heard of it.
Zhao Qibing tracked down the gang of thieves and found the flying thief who had snatched You Panhu's phone on his motorcycle. Bringing both the thief and the phone, he went to claim credit with You Panhu. In truth, he threw himself so eagerly into this trifling task because he wanted You Panhu to have Wei Zhao break his legs.
You Panhu had been delighted to see Zhao Qibing recover his phone, but when he took it and found nothing on it at all, he grew anxious at once. "Where's the data inside? Where did the data go?"
"Don't worry, Young Master You—the data definitely hasn't leaked. When I found this kid, he was using a computer to flash the phone's system. All the data was wiped. Your xx videos absolutely will not get out!" Zhao Qibing said.
"Damn it! To hell with your xx videos!" You Panhu was so furious that he hurled the phone straight into the thief's face, bloodying it on the spot.
"To hell with his grandmother?" Zhao Qibing was taken aback. "Young Master You, you really do have peculiar tastes!"
"Peculiar my ass! Can't you tell when you're being cursed at?" You Panhu was caught between laughter and tears at Zhao Qibing's words. "Young Master Bing, what I wanted was the data on that phone. It's very important—it's a document!"
"This... then why didn't you say so earlier? How was I supposed to know?" Zhao Qibing shook his head. "But what you promised me—getting Wei Zhao to break my legs—you can't go back on that! Whether you want it or not, I've found your phone for you!"
"Fine, fine, fine. Isn't it just having Wei Zhao break your legs? I'll help you," You Panhu said, without any attempt to wriggle out of it. In fact, he didn't consider it any great matter at all.
"That's more like it. Don't you dare go back on your word!" Zhao Qibing breathed a sigh of relief and added, "I'll be waiting for your good news!"
