ing dishes at the side, change countenance. His hand trembled, and the food he had picked up fell with a plop to the ground. It was plain that at this moment, Zhao Qibing's whole body was trembling... Wei Zhao saw Zhao Qibing's state too and frowned slightly. Could it be that Old Master Zhao had never said anything before, and only now, at the banquet held for him, revealed his decision? Otherwise, why would Zhao Qibing react this way? "Qibing, what are you doing?" Old Master Zhao's gaze sharpened as he glared at Zhao Qibing. "You can't even serve a dish properly—what use are you?" "Grandfather... my hand just slipped for a moment..." Zhao Qibing's face was terribly grim, and he looked on the verge of tears. "Hmph, don't make a spectacle of yourself! Although I intend to pass the position of young family heir to Qitan, you will certainly be something like an elder in the Hidden Zhao family. It's only that your relations with Senior Lin were poor before, so I did not place you in the position of young family heir—in truth, to protect you. Do you understand?" Old Master Zhao gave a cold snort. "If you became the young family heir, Senior Lin would certainly not be pleased!" "I understand, Grandfather..." Zhao Qibing said with a desolate expression. Wei Zhao looked at Zhao Qibing. Though everything seemed very real, Wei Zhao felt it was all somewhat unnatural. Since Old Master Zhao had already invited him to dine and positioned the Hidden Zhao family as his vassal, Zhao Qilei's rise was unstoppable. Even if Zhao Qibing were a fool, he should not fail to understand this. So why did today's events make it seem as though Zhao Qibing truly did not know, and still harbored the illusion that he could become the young family heir? But if he really looked into it closely, Wei Zhao could not discern the reason—what play Zhao Qibing was putting on today. It seemed Zhao Qibing's attitude was still decent; after being reprimanded by Old Master Zhao, he began earnestly continuing to serve Wei Zhao dishes. Though his face was still rather pale, he raised no further questions. Zhao Qibing served the dishes at no great speed, so with each item Wei Zhao tasted a bite—partly to give the Zhao family face, and partly because Wei Zhao was truly hungry. Given Wei Zhao's appetite, Zhao Qibing's manner of serving was really a bit too little! Only after Wei Zhao had tasted every dish did Zhao Qibing ask, "Senior Lin, which one do you find tasty? I'll serve you more of it!" "They're all good. Your Zhao family's chefs could rival those of a five-star hotel—you certainly know how to live!" Wei Zhao was himself an excellent cook, and for him to find the dishes good, the chefs were naturally no ordinary lot. "Heh heh, you flatter us. If Senior Lin likes it, then come eat often," Old Master Zhao said with a smile. Seeing that Wei Zhao had said nothing particular, Zhao Qibing picked up dishes from the table as if casually—this time serving only Wei Zhao. Old Master Zhao ate a little of each dish and was full.
