Chapter 2927 — Crimson Clouds and the Earth Tyrant
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Yang Dingtian was not necessarily insisting that Zhang Naipao pay with his life. More than anything, he simply could not stand the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow sect's arrogance. The sect had bullied other ancient sects more than once or twice.
Yang Dingtian did not have only one grandson; he had two. One had died, leaving one still alive. It was just that the surviving grandson was not as talented as the other, which was why Yang Dingtian felt that Yang Shuizhen's death was such a tremendous loss.

Wei Zha escorted Zhao Qilei to the entrance of the Hidden Zhao family, but did not go inside. It was plain that Zhao Qilei's expression was complicated as well. Returning once more to the place where he had grown up, he felt not the slightest sense of belonging.
"Leader, I truly do not want to go back to this family. I do not even know how I am supposed to face them once I get inside!" Zhao Qilei sighed and climbed out of the car reluctantly.
"For some reason, your grandfather is impossibly stubborn. If I were him, I would have already made you the family head. No one is more qualified than you." Wei Zha shook his head. He simply could not understand the Zhao family's situation.
Even if Zhao Qibing had obtained a Qi-Gathering Pill and given it to Old Master Zhao, enabling him to advance successfully into a Heaven Rank expert, Zhao Qilei had also brought back a Great Recovery Pill this time.
"Forget it. No matter what, I have to go back. Where else could I go?" Zhao Qilei shook his head and strode toward the Zhao family's main gate...
Zhao Qilei's return did not cause much of a stir. In fact, no one even paid him any attention.
Zhao Qilei walked straight into the family compound and returned to his own room. Along the way, he did not encounter a single person of consequence in the Zhao family. The servants and disciples simply looked through him, treating him as though he did not exist.
Zhao Qilei gave a wry, self-mocking smile and shook his head. He had expected this and was not angry. He merely stopped a Zhao family disciple outside his room and asked, "Where has everyone gone? Where is my grandfather?"
"To answer Young Master Tan, Old Patriarch Zhao and Young Master Bing have gone out, and the family head has also left to attend to some business. There is temporarily no one in charge of the estate, so when Young Master Tan returned, we servants did not know how we were supposed to treat you... Please do not make things difficult for us..." The disciple answered in trepidation.
Zhao Qilei was slightly taken aback. Only then did he realize that there was no one in charge at home. Still, he did not blame the servants. Zhao Qilei had been under house arrest for some time, and the family disciples knew it. Naturally, they had no idea how they were supposed to treat him now.
If they welcomed Zhao Qilei warmly and Old Master Zhao returned displeased, they would be the ones to suffer. But if they locked him up as they had before, and Old Master Zhao had no intention of continuing the confinement, they would still be the ones punished. So the servants simply ignored Zhao Qilei altogether. That way, nothing could go wrong.
"All right. Go on with your work." Zhao Qilei nodded without anger. He understood what the servants were thinking and had no intention of making things difficult for them.
