“Yi, are you aware that House Xiao has received the support of the hidden House Pi?” Uncle Fu said on the phone- Lin Yi had just taken Xiaoxiao and Tang Yun home, and was heading to the villa.
“Hidden House Pi?” Lin Yi paused, “Are they the same type of house as the hidden House Yu and hidden House Zhao?” Lin Yi wasn’t sure about the world of noble houses and hidden houses.
“Yes, the hidden house Pi is slightly stronger than the hidden house Zhao in terms of fighting power. I hear that the old man of House Pi is Earth class late phase peak, one step away from Sky class. Although, this isn’t proven yet- House Pi’s kungfu is physical practitioning, after all, it’s different from spiritual practitioning,” Uncle Fu explained succintly.
“House Pi’s old man is one step away from Sky class?” Lin Yi frowned- he wasn’t expecting such strength from House Pi! After all, the physical practitioners had a really hard time getting higher once they reached late phase! They were different from spiritual practitioners, who used qi and treasures to make themselves tronger- the phsyical ones had to train their physical body!
In other words, spiritual practitioners could train on their own, but physical ones needed a partner to train with after a certain point, looking for a way to break through! In basic terms, physcial kung fu were punches and kicks, so you couldn’t just keep kicking the air to level up!
The fact that House Pi was one step away from Sky class meant that there was someone almost as strong as him to train with. In other words, House Pi is extremely strong!
“Yes, but from what we can see now they’re only in a business relationship with House Xiao. The Xiaos wouldn’t use House Pi to take revenge on us yet!” Uncle Fu said.
“Right, what’s the strength of the practitioners House PI sent to the Xiaos?” Lin Yi asked.
“One is a Mystic late phase peak, the other is a Mystic early phase, both are physical practitioners.” Uncle Fu said.
“The ealry phase one is fine, but the late phase peak one… Hm, this is a little troublesome.” Lin Yi knotted his eyebrows together. He was a Mystic mid phase spiritual practitioner now, and he had confidence when it came to dealing with Mystic mid phase peak physical practitioners, but when it came to Mystic late phase peak… Lin Yi wasn’t sure anymore! Unless he used the energy bomb tactic again. That was, however, a self-destroying ability, and it should only be used in the most dire of emergencies. The after effects were too much.
“That’s right… If only I can regain my strength at my peak!” Uncle Fu sighed, feeling helpeless, “If I can break through into Mystic now, even if it’s early phase- I’d be able to help, and with our combined strength we still would be able to take on the Mystic late phase peak! But now, even though I’m only a step away from Mystic, it’s still quite a big step…”
Lin Yi couldn’t help but nod at the words. It was true- he may be able to fight someone at a stronger strength level, but Uncle Fu couldn’t! He had many cards that Uncle Fu didn’t have!
If only he could let Uncle Fu use the jade space… But it wasn’t as simple as it seemed. Energy was simply different from anything else, and although Lin Yi had once wished he could just bottle it up, it wasn’t practical!
“It’s alright- there are countermeasures that can be taken.” Lin Yi wasn’t sure, but he wanted to let Uncle Fu have some confidence.
“I’ll pay attention to their movements. As long as they don’t come to us, we’ll leave them alone,” Uncle Fu said.
In actuality, the Xiaos really were looking to come cause trouble- they were drooling for House Chu’s wealth! They were planning to wait until House Pi’s men arrived to avenge Uncle Pi and trace it back to House Chu, but now it seemed like House Pi didn’t even care if Uncle Pi died or not! Pi Zhishan, Pi Zhihai, or the two masters that came after them- none of them even wanted to visit him!
So, even though Xiao Ji and Xiao Ben wanted to get revenge, they didn’t dare make their own agendas unless House Pi said so. Pi Zhishan made it clear- these masters would only help when there was trouble, and that they were not House Xiao’s fighters. They couldn’t just order them to strike House Chu.
“Brother, maybe we could discuss with Master Pi and Pi Bro, get them to go to House Chu and take their wealth?” Xiao Ji said to Xiao Ben secretly after settling the Pi’s in.
“No- the masters House Pi sent are different from Uncle Pi. Great Master Pi said it very clearly- they are to only step in to help when House Xiao is in trouble. We can’t just order them to do stuff,” Xiao Ben said.
“But, getting money from House Chu is business for House PI too- after all, our profits go to them!” Xiao Ji said.
“That’s true, but we’re not close with these two Pi’s yet. Unless we know about their temper and personality- which, even at that point, we still need to get close with them first! It’d be easier after all that,” Xiao Ben said, “We don’t have to worry about funds at all- those who want to have a partnership with us would provide the money!”
“You’re right- after we become close will it be easier!” Xiaoji nodded, “You’re quite smart after all, brother!”
It was Er Goudan’s first time leaving his house. On the train, he remembered what Uncle Lin said- telling him to mind his own business and not get involved with strangers.
There were a couple of scammers looking at Er Goudan and thinking of scamming him, but seeing the guy not care about anything made them give up. After all, this sort of person was the hardest target for them- the guy wouldn’t talk and wouldn’t sleep, there were no openings.
And so, Er Goudan had no trouble as he arrived safely at Songshan.
You Xiaoke was quite troubled these days, very troubled- she thought that the move against the thieves led by the police would end in a few days, but it had been half a month already and had no signs of reaching a conclusion!
