Chapter 2930 — Deceiving Zhao Qilei
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Fearing that Zhao Qibing, in his ignorance of the truth, might cause trouble in the coming days, Old Master Zhao had laid out his plan to his driver Zhao Qibing on the road: they would be rid of Wei Zhao by Zhao Qilei's hand. So for these few days Zhao Qibing might pretend to "kick up a fuss," but he was not to stir up anything else! Because the position of young heir would still be his in the end!
"Rest easy, Grandfather. I know my limits." Zhao Qibing nodded and went off to his room, while Old Master Zhao walked toward Zhao Qilei's room.
Knock, knock, knock!
Standing at the door of Zhao Qilei's room, Old Master Zhao rapped on the door.
"Who is it? Come in!" Zhao Qilei said offhandedly.
The door was pushed open, yet no one spoke. Zhao Qilei blinked in slight surprise, and when he looked up and saw Old Master Zhao, his astonishment only deepened!
Old Master Zhao had come to his room in person? Beyond his surprise, Zhao Qilei felt almost flattered—after all, he had been a kept man under house arrest in the hidden Zhao family, and Old Master Zhao had long since ignored him, so much so that Zhao Qilei had grown used to it.
"Grandfather... why is it you?" Though Zhao Qilei was utterly disillusioned with Old Master Zhao, the man was still his grandfather, so he retained his respect.
Old Master Zhao said nothing. After entering the room, he sat down on the sofa and regarded Zhao Qilei in silence.
"Grandfather?" Zhao Qilei grew even more perplexed. What did Old Master Zhao mean by this? Coming in without a word?
"Qitan... you passed the trial and came back?" Old Master Zhao finally spoke, looking at Zhao Qilei with complicated eyes.
"Yes, Grandfather, I'm back..." Zhao Qilei thought to himself, isn't that obvious? But he answered respectfully all the same.
"Qitan, was this trial dangerous? Wei Zhao... he's quite capable, isn't he, to have brought you through such a perilous trial?" Old Master Zhao's words only baffled Zhao Qilei further; he could not tell what the old man meant by them.
"Grandfather, you came to see me..." Zhao Qilei was a little dazed. "I obtained the Great Return Pill and completed the task set before me, but Elder Bi... isn't he already dead? What are you..."
"The Great Return Pill is yours by your own getting, so how it's used is naturally yours to decide. Even if Elder Bi hadn't died, it would still be for you to say!" Old Master Zhao waved a hand. "I hear Wei Zhao has become quite formidable?"
"Formidable?" Zhao Qilei started. "He's... not bad... Grandfather, what exactly do you mean..."
"Qitan, I misjudged you before. Compared with Qibing, you are the true young talent of our Zhao family. Don't be angry about the past—I looked on Zhao Qibing with special favor because he brought back a Qi Gathering Pill!" Old Master Zhao said. "But now you've brought back a Great Return Pill. Both are third-grade pills, so the two of you are even, and therefore..."
"Grandfather, you can't mean..." Zhao Qilei was greatly startled and stared at Old Master Zhao in disbelief! Could it be that Old Master Zhao's thinking had truly changed?
"Indeed. Wei Zhao grows more formidable by the day, and I have seen it with my own eyes!" Old Master Zhao sighed. (To be continued)
