Chapter 1376: Investigation

Chapter 1375 – Investigation
“House Pi had already decided to work with House Xiao- of course we wouldn’t just abandon you. Plus, you were trying to act in the interest of our house, so we wouldn’t just leave!” Pi Zhishan said with a wave of his hand.
He was a scheming man- he wouldn’t have become the heir to House Pi otherwise. He was pissed off about what House Xiao did, but this wasn’t the time to let their relationship go. If they really did that and other people knew about it, it would be a drastic blow to their reputation!
House Xiao was putting in effort helping you, and you just leave after something went wrong? Who else would work for you in the future? Their name would be ruined which would result in House Pi no longer having any routes to work in the common world, and Zhishan naturally wouldn’t let that happen.
“Haha, big brother, you’re thinking too much- Master Pi naturally wouldn’t be that kind of person. He wouldn’t be sitting here with us if he wanted to abandon us!” Xiao Ben said with a laugh, praising Master Pi directly. He had been brothers with Xiao Ji for so long, and they worked well together- their words combined tied House Pi and House Xiao together.
Zhishan, naturally, knew what the two were thinking, but he didn’t expose them. He only smiled faintly, “But, that Er Goudan isn’t someone we should psis off- you two stay away from him from now on, don’t go and mess with him, nor with people of House Xiao. In simple words, House Pi’s men died, and their revenge has ended. It was Jin Wudi causing trouble this time, and it had nothing to do with us- if we don’t go to them, Lin Yi wouldn’t come and do anything to us!”
“You’re right,” Xiao Ji nodded. He didn’t dare think about that stuff anymore- even House Pi had bowed in submission, what the hell could he do?
“Anyway, be more careful doing business from now on. With your influence in the common world, along with the name of House Pi, you won’t even need to do anything illegal to earn this money. Don’t think of doing the same bad stuff from now on- look at House Yu, their business is booming as well, no?” Zhishan made his position clear.
Noble houses were outside the law, but Zhishan didn’t want to cause trouble, especially when there were the two unstable variables, Lin Yi and Goudan. Pissing them off would result in great loss.
“Yes! We understand, Master Pi,” Xiao Ben nodded, “We’ll do proper business now.”
“Good. Alright, I’ll go back first- a few days later we’ll send another Pi to protect you guys, but I will instruct him to only act when business is affected, and only when he asks House Pi first. As for anything else, he will be prohibited from joining!” Zhishan said.
House Pi had many practitioners, but they couldn’t afford burning through them like this. If this one got killed again, their losses would be very substantial.
“Then, this time, Master Pi, is it possible to send an Earth class…” Xiao Ji was a bit itchy- he wanted an Earth as well after seeing all those Earth classes running around! They’d be stronger than House Yu if they had an Earth, and they’d be the top noble house in the next meeting!
That was the way with a lot of people- humans were ungrateful creatures. They were just wishing that House Pi wouldn’t abandon House Xiao just now, and now they wanted a stronger practitioner.
“Earth class is impossible,” Zhishan said with a wave of his hand, “Hidden houses have their own rules, and there is the council regulating the balance. Jin Wudi leaving the mountain was only after getting permission- and us House Pi also used the excuse of investigating Uncle Pi’s death to enter the common world. Our goal was actually just to get money, different from Jin Wudi, so House Pi was better off- if nobody causes us trouble, we can’t apply to send an Earth class…”
“I see..” Xiao JI was a bit disappointed, “So a Mystic this time as well?”
“Yes, a Mystic in the common world is the top level- as long as you don’t mess with existences like Lin Yi and Er Goudan,” Zhishan said, “I’m going back- I still need to talk to Master Father about this.”
“Master Pi, then, that Goudan warrior- he’s able to kill Earth classes, what sort of class is he? Why is he allowed here?” Xiao Ben asked, confused.
“There are even more powerful existence above hidden houses- things you shouldn’t know about. You’d be better off staying away from knowing too much,” Zhishan said.
“I understand…” Xiao Ben’s face darkened, not pushing on the question. They walked him out the door.
After Zhishan left, he didn’t go home right away, making a phone call in secret instead.
“How are things going, Zhishan? Did Lin Yi die yet?” Jiaoke said.
“Father, an accident happened… Jin Wudi got killed…” Zhishan said.
“What? Killed? By who?” Jiake said after a pause.
Zhishan told him everything that happened that day in detail, not hiding anything. He also told him about how he apologized to Goudan.
“Zhishan, that was a good move! Lowering your head at that moment was a good move- a man should be able to acknowledge his weaknesses. If everything is true, then it seems that there’s a big problem in our midst- if just a follower of that Lin Yi is so powerful then he must be from the ancient houses or sects…” Jiake said seriously, “If so, they’re not something House Pi can piss off.”
“Yes, father- but the weird thing was, when this Goudan made a move, I couldn’t sense any of his strength. It was as if he wasn’t a practitioner!” Zhishan was still confused about that.
“Oh? No strength? How is that possible? Both physical and spiritual practitioners would show their strength when making a move, it wasn’t something they could hide. Why couldn’t you feel anything?” Jiake pause.d
“That’s what confuses me.”
“Alright, you continue the investigation in secret- with your ability, that Goudan shouldn’t be able to notice your presence. You’re a physical practitioner, plus you’re good at hiding your presence- see if you can find out anything!” Jiaoke said.
“Alright, i’m still here anyway. I’ll take a look.”
With that, he went to House Chu.
