BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1397 - Uncle Zhu’s Brother
Chapter 1397: Uncle Zhu’s Brother
“Okay, dad, I’ll spread the news now...” Pi Zhishan nodded- he understood where he went wrong. As the next successor of House Pi, his wisdom and scheming was not bad but he was too aggressive- it was a bad habit that needed to be corrected.
House Pi had a lot of channels to spread the news and so without much effort, Lin Yi’s blood sworn enemies were all notified, including Zhao Qibing who was the first to learn about this piece of good news.
“Uncle Zhu, Yaowang, what do you guys think about this news?” Zhao Qibing was terrified by Er Goudan and hadn’t recovered from the shock yet. All of a sudden, a rumour like this came up out of nowhere and he didn’t know if it was real or fake.
“I can’t tell, this news can be true and can be false at the same time. Without witnessing it for ourselves, who knows?” Yaowang waved his hand, “But I’m not an expert in this field, so don’t take my opinion too seriously.”
“I don’t think it’s fake news, there’s about eighty percent chance that the news is real,” Uncle Zhu opened his mouth, “Although the source of the news wasn’t revealed, all of us know that it was released by House Pi. They wouldn’t just release news for no good reasons, it was also taboo to release fake news within the hidden noble houses, they will even be suspended if they are found guilty!”
Uncle Zhu was aware of the inside rules so he explained it to them.
“But no matter how true the news is, it is still a guess, we can’t really tell if Er Goudan has actually lost all his strength because House Pi’s investigation may not be accurate too!” Li Cihua continued, “House Pi is probably trying to borrow someone’s knife to kill him. This news might be real but it was probably too bizarre for them to act on it, which is why they let the news out – hoping that someone would test the waters for them, this is the most classic way of avoiding consequences....”
“En, not bad! We can’t be the ones sticking our head out this time since we don’t have any masters available to fight them now, so let’s just forget about it!” Zhao Qibing nodded.
Su Jiaonang knocked on the door as the group was discussing, “Master Bing, there’s an old man in the bar, he called himself the big brother of Uncle Zhu, do you.....”
“Uncle Zhu’s big brother?” Zhao Qibing flinched, he didn’t know where this big brother had come from.
“Yes, the person really did call himself the big brother of Uncle Zhu...” Su Jiaonang nodded as he replied.
Meanwhile, Uncle Zhu perked up when he heard the conversation, “My big brother? Is my big brother really here?”
“Bring him in, Uncle Zhu will know once he sees him in real person,” Zhao Qibing ordered.
If this person was here to look for trouble, there was no point of stopping him because he knew he couldn’t stop him and his efforts would be useless. However, if this really was Uncle Zhu’s big brother, then it would be good news for them so he agreed to do so.
Uncle Zhu was overexcited; his gaze was staring at the entrance of the room attentively. After a moment, Su Jianang brought an old man into the room and Uncle Zhu couldn’t be any more happier as he exclaimed, “Big brother, is that really you?”
“Lil’ brother.... It’s me, after so many years, we can finally meet!” The person was happy to see Uncle Zhu as well, “I was given a mission by the master and I was forbidden to meet you privately but deep down in brother’s heart, I had missed you a lot!”
“Then you....” Uncle Zhu’s face changed instantly when he heard that the master didn’t allow his brother to meet him in private. Zhao Qibing was there with them now, and if he were to tell his father about this, the consequences would be massive.
“Haha, brother, didn’t you know? Your big brother broke out of the mystic class yesterday! I’m officially an earth class master now!” The visitor said, “Master agreed to let me return home once I broke through to the earth class. Returning home meant meeting you but no one could replace me for my mission so I asked permission from Master to just see you. Otherwise, why would I know your location?”
Uncle Zhu relaxed after listening to his brother’s explanation, indeed, there was no way his big brother would know his location if Master didn’t tell him. As happy as he was for his brother, he felt sorrow building up within him- his strength had greatly been reduced, he was at most a golden class master now.
“Lil’ brother, what’s your strength? Has there been any progress?” The visitor asked happily.
“I... don’t mention it,” Uncle Zhu sighed and his face turned dark, “It was a long story, but first let me introduce you, this is Zhao Qibing, young master Zhao, the descendant of House Zhao. I’m working for him now!”
“Young master Zhao, nice to meet you!” The visitor greeted him immediately after learning that he was the young master of House Zhao. He knew that this Zhao Qibing was the bastard son of his master but no matter what, he was still a male descendant of House Zhao, and House Zhao was biased towards men. Unlike girls who were just tools to connect marriage...
“Elder Zhu, congratulations on your breakthrough!” Zhao Qibing was tickled pink- did he just obtain an earth class master that came down from the sky? If he was Uncle Zhu’s brother, then he would surely care about Uncle Zhu and since Uncle Zhu was injured by Lin Yi, did that mean there was an opportunity for revenge...
“You’re being too kind.... Right, lil’ brother, what did you say just now? About your strength?” Elder Zhu remembered that something was wrong with his brother’s reply.
“I fought with someone and got heavily injured... I’m starting to recover now but I have lost most of my strength, I’m at most a mid-phase golden class now...” Uncle Zhu sighed.
“Weren’t you an early phase mystic class? What happened....” Elder Zhu’s face changed, “Just what happened? Who did this to you? Tell big brother, big brother will avenge you!”
“Forget about it... It was Lin Yi, you must have heard of this f*cker, right! His follower just did a great thing recently and killed Jin Wudi,” Naturally, Uncle Zhu wouldn’t allow his big brother to take on a risk this big. As much as he hated Lin Yi, he knew how strong his follower was, there was no way he would allow his big brother to challenge him.
“Lin Yi?” Elder Zhu was taken aback and clenched his teeth- how could he have not heard of this guy before?
