Chapter 2902 — The Earth Tyrant's Plan

"So then, if I acknowledge him as my leader, he will heal me and repair my meridians?" The Earth Tyrant suddenly recalled a remark Wei Zhao had made as he left: "You are not my underling; I have no obligation to save you for free." Did that not mean that once he became his underling, Wei Zhao would repair his meridians for free?
At this thought the Earth Tyrant grew excited. It was not merely to repair his meridians that he would acknowledge Wei Zhao as leader; above all, having Wei Zhao as a leader would be magnificent. At the very least, the likes of Zhang Naipao would not dare strike him, and with Wei Zhao so powerful, he would clearly become the Yellow Earth High Sect's greatest support in the future. This bargain of acknowledging a leader was well worth it!
His only worry was his uncle's attitude. He was, after all, the Young Sect Master of an ancient-tier sect. Acknowledging Wei Zhao as leader meant little for now, but in the future, when he succeeded to the position of Sect Master, would not the entire Yellow Earth High Sect become Wei Zhao's underlings?
"That should be so, but I fear Senior Lin may not accept you..." The Earth Drill Star smiled wryly. Even Sect Master Tu Qingsong had hinted that he should help bring about this matter between the Earth Tyrant and Wei Zhao. Wei Zhao must truly have ability, or the Sect Master would never have said such a thing.
But even so, acknowledging Wei Zhao as leader was not something that could be done casually. Wei Zhao had said he already had enough underlings and would not take them on at random. It seemed a suitable occasion would be needed.
"Pester him relentlessly—wear him down!" the Earth Tyrant said. "Besides, did he not ask for earth-attribute essence liquid? He does not know how to use it. That secret is known only to me and my uncle, so if he wants to know, I will have to tell him myself. One thing will lead to another, we will grow familiar, and I can take the chance to acknowledge him as my leader! But my worry is—how do I answer to my uncle?"
The Earth Tyrant held absolute powerhouses in deep admiration. Wei Zhao, a powerhouse who could defeat Zhang Naipao, commanded his wholehearted reverence. His only concern was the matter with his uncle!
"That could work!" The Earth Drill Star nodded. "As for the Sect Master, you need not worry too much. The Sect Master has already given instructions that you, Young Sect Master, may get closer to Senior Lin, and that everything is for you to decide yourself."
"Oh? Uncle really said that?" The Earth Tyrant was no fool; a hint was enough. Still, he was rather surprised—given his uncle's character, why would he agree? Even to restore his meridians, he would not be so readily agreeable.
"Yes. If you do not believe it, Young Sect Master, you may call the Sect Master and ask," the Earth Drill Star said with a nod.
"That won't be necessary. How could I doubt what you say?" The Earth Tyrant waved a hand. He was merely a little puzzled, but he did not doubt the Earth Drill Star's words; the man had followed him for so many years and had always been loyal.
"Then, Young Sect Master, shall we go see Senior Wei Zhao now?" the Earth Drill Star suggested. "As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot! Senior Lin has just brought you back to life—it is only natural that you go thank him and show your admiration!"
