Chapter 1473: Ning’s Secret

Chapter 1472 – Ning’s Secret

“But… Zhao Qikun’s follower is a Mystic late phase- that’s a bit difficult… Yu Shan also won’t let go of any chance to humiliate me… Maybe we shouldn’t be in the same team after all- your goal is the fruit, so there’s no need to team up here. I don’t want to drag you down,” Yu Bing was starting to calculate their odds after hearing Qijiu’s strength- their group was much too stronger than their own, and if Lin Yi really did break through into late phase, he would still be a fresh break through, weaker than someone who had broken through earlier and had stabilized his strength!

Plus, there was still mid phase peak, Yu Shan- if he were to fight Qikun, and Lin Yi against Qijiu, who could handle Yu Shan surprise attacking them?

“Ah… But no need to worry, I have a trump card,” Lin Yi said, “I’ll be able to heavily damage even an Earth cla.s.s, so there’s no need for that from now on. Since we’ve met again by fate, let’s be a team!”

“Seriously? You can damage an Earth cla.s.s?” Yu Bing’s eyes were now wide open, “d.a.m.n, you’re serious? No wonder Ning likes you, you’re a d.a.m.n super saiyan!”

“Let’s not talk about that…” Lin Yi interrupted Yu Bing- that was the past, and it wasn’t something he wanted to re-live. It wasn’t easy to forget either- it was just that Lin Yi didn’t have the strength to bring it back up anymore!

And Lin Yi had already found his own happiness- Tang Yun, Xiaoxiao… If he was able to protect them for their lives, that was his happiness as well! As his fate with others, there was no need for him to force anything. He seemed to have been enemies with the hidden House Yu since the beginning, and it was to the point where it couldn’t be mediated anymore. Unless of course, if Yu Ning’s father was able to settle the hate common House Yu had towards him and accept Lin Yi. But, someone as solitary and proud as Lin Yi wouldn’t have a good time bonding with House Yu even if that did happen.

What Yu Ning wanted, Lin Yi couldn’t give back then- and now he still couldn’t give it to her! The two had grown up in too differently and Yu Xiaochen was not a very reasonable man. It was fate that the two could never be together!

Rather than getting disappointed, it was better not to hold any hopes at all.

“You don’t like Ning?” Yu Bing didn’t want to let this topic go.

“So what if I do, so what if I don’t?” Lin Yi said.

“If you do, I can help you.”

“Help? You make it sound so simple,” Lin Yi smiled bitterly, “You think my war with the common House Yu can be stopped out of nowhere?”

“At least you haven’t p.i.s.sed off the hidden House Yu,” Yu Bing said honestly, “If you have this intention, I can work hard for you.”

“There are some things you may not understand, but I could feel it, judging by the stuff your father had said to me before. There’s something wrong there,” Lin Yi said sincerely, “I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but your House Yu puts more value on her- even more so than onyou!”

“That’s…” Yu Bing had to admit, even if he didn’t want to. This was a heavy hit from Lin Yi!

Yes, in House Yu, Yu Ning’s position was higher than this eldest son of the eldest son, and the old elder’s love for his granddaughter was more than just spoiling her- it was as if the future of the house was placed in her, as if she was the glory of House Yu. When he looked at Yu Shan and him with those eyes, there was only discipline!

“I don’t know what secret she has, but I feel like…” Lin Yi didn’t finish when Yu Bing suddenly jumped in!

“Quiet!” Yu Bing spoke sharply, he just remembered that they were in an inn, not House Yu. He shook his head with a bitter smile, “I’m sorry, shouldn’t have said that…”

“What’s wrong?” Lin Yi was surprised- he had shouted out of nowhere.

“I… had asked my dad out of curiosity before… about Ning. Then I was severely told off. I was never ask about it, nor bring it up again! Regarding Yu Ning, everything about her in taboo in House Yu as we’re always worried of people hearing about it.”

“I see… As expected, then…” Lin Yi sighed, “So, some things- we shouldn’t think about it too much.”

“But you’re not weak now, either,” Yu Bing said, “Mystic mid phase peak, closing in on Mystic late phase- I didn’t expect this at all. Our houses have certain treasures and elixirs, but you shouldn’t need those…”

“I have my ways of pract.i.tioning,” Lin Yi answered, “Strength level isn’t the most important thing, though- what’s important is that I’ve just p.i.s.sed off your house.”

“Just?” Yu Bing blinked.

“This is a qi gathering pill- I took it from someone on your side called Elder Yu,” Lin Yi showed Yu Bing a small bottle.

“Qi gathering pill!!” Yu Bing’s eyes widened as he stood up instantly and stared at the bottle- this really choked him here! But it was not only because this was a qi gathering pill, but also because it was taken from Elder Yu!

Yu Bing’s facial expression kept changing- he naturally knew what this thing was, it was the reason why House Yu sent Yu Huoxing tomb raiding, but he didn’t expect that what Huoxing meant by ‘not finding the pill because of the intense dangers of the tomb’ was actually because Lin Yi had taken it from him!

What Yu Bing thought first wasn’t how to get this pill back- as his father really wanted this pill and needed it, but instead, Yu Bing understood the rules of their world. He knew that this pill didn’t belong to Huoxing, but to the tomb master. So, anyone who got their hands on it would own it, and there was no grounds for him to take it back.

The next thing he thought of was the amount of trust Lin Yi put in him- something as important as this, concerning House Yu- and Lin Yi just simply told him about this! It really moved Yu Bing emotionally- because Lin Yi had a choice to not bring this up at all, and he wouldn’t have ever learned about it!

“Do you still think there can be peace?” Lin Yi looked at Yu Bing’s face, feeling glad. The man didn’t seem angered or greedy, only shocked and helpless. Lin Yi was right to put his faith in him.

He also wanted to test Yu Bing’s character and mentality, after all- even if Lin Yi didn’t take it out now, if he really couldn’t find the fire spirit’s fruit, he would use this qi gathering pill to exchange with Ice Palace for the fruit, itself!
