Chapter 1439 — Bing Shao Returns Home in Glory

"Th-this... fine!" Wu Chengtian gritted his teeth. He had felt it was somewhat difficult at first, but then he thought of how Wei Zhao had turned him from an ordinary Huang rank external cultivator into an early Xuan rank internal cultivator. Was that not difficult? It had looked easy, yet no one could see how much effort Wei Zhao must have put in!

Wu Chengtian felt that raising a person's strength could never be such an easy matter. Although Wei Zhao said nothing of it, he must have paid a great price in hardship. Grateful to Wei Zhao in his heart, Wu Chengtian secretly swore that he must cultivate diligently and never let down Wei Zhao's painstaking care!

"Go." Wei Zhao nodded. At this moment Wu Chengtian looked rather good, brimming with youthful vigor, which left Wei Zhao quite satisfied...

While Wu Chengtian was cultivating with bitter devotion, a black business van pulled up quietly before the entrance of the Geili Fuyun Bar. The first to step down was Zhao Qibing. Yes, you read that correctly, he stepped down!

He no longer needed his wheelchair, but could stand up and walk!

After getting out, Zhao Qibing stood beside the car and waited respectfully until Elder Bi had also gotten out, then he straightened himself. "Master, I find that walking on my own is truly wonderful. Without the restraint of the wheelchair, it is simply too comfortable! I never expected that besides your mighty martial arts, your medical skill would also be a cut above the rest!"

Zhao Qibing's legs had naturally been healed by Elder Bi. Although Elder Bi was a master at the peak of the late Earth rank, he was himself a skilled physician. Over the years he had served as Old Master Zhao's personal doctor. The Zhao family had other private doctors, such as the Medicine King, so apart from treating Old Master Zhao, Elder Bi would treat no one else!

Now that Zhao Qibing had become his disciple, he was naturally worthy of Elder Bi taking action.

"Ha ha, rest assured. This medical skill of mine I will pass on to you in the future!" Elder Bi knew perfectly well that Zhao Qibing was flattering him, yet he took no offense at all. That was simply Elder Bi's temper. If he took a liking to you, then everything about you pleased him. If you displeased him, he could find fault in whatever you did.

"Thank you, Master. I will study hard!" Zhao Qibing said hastily.

This time Zhao Qibing had returned to deliver medicine to Uncle Zhu, but his true purpose was to display his status. As Elder Bi's disciple, he was now like the future Young Master of the Zhao family! By this means Zhao Qibing meant to let Li Cihua and Uncle Zhu know, and through Uncle Zhu's mouth to let Old Zhu know, that he was about to rise high, so that these men would hold fast to him and never harbor any doubt!

Zhao Qibing was paving the way for his own future. It was vital to keep these subordinates supporting him all along! Although they still seemed few and feeble at present, they were the veteran core of the future. With them, he could develop more followers until the day he became head of the Zhao family!

Of course, Zhao Qibing could not say that to Elder Bi. What he told Elder Bi was that he was anxious over Uncle Zhu's injuries and wished to deliver the Tongluo Pill to Uncle Zhu at once, yet he feared some mishap on the road back, since the Tongluo Pill was of utmost importance. Elder Bi had therefore naturally accompanied Zhao Qibing back.

Elder Yu not only did not think Zhao Qibing was seizing the chance to show off, but felt instead that Zhao Qibing was loyal and righteous, a man of commendable character. He felt all the more that his judgment had been sound, and that this disciple was one fit for great responsibility!

If he became family head in the future, he would surely shelter and protect his own people!

The Geili Fuyun Bar was not yet open for business. It had just opened its doors that morning, and the waiters inside were cleaning. When Zhao Qibing walked in, the waiters recognized him, but all were astonished!

Their boss usually sat in a wheelchair. How could he walk today? None of them dared to ask, for his legs were normally a taboo subject that no one was allowed to mention casually.

"Boss, you are back!" the waiters greeted Zhao Qibing one after another.

In the inner room, Su Jiaonang heard the commotion outside and hurried out with Li Cihua. In the daytime there was no one in the bar, so the sounds outside were unusually clear. Hearing the waiters call for the boss, Su Jiaonang and Li Cihua at once came out.

"Bing Shao, you are back! Your legs..." Li Cihua asked in surprise when he saw Zhao Qibing return.

"My legs were naturally healed by my master." Zhao Qibing smiled. "Cihua, this is my master, Elder Bi. Come and pay your respects!"

"Yes!" Li Cihua was startled inwardly. As one of Zhao Guangyin's men, he knew something of the hidden Zhao family and knew Elder Bi's identity. Elder Bi was Old Master Zhao's personal bodyguard, a figure of Grand Elder rank to come. That he had taken Zhao Qibing as his disciple, did that not mean Zhao Qibing might become the Young Master of the Zhao family?

Li Cihua hardly dared to imagine it! On the day he first followed Zhao Qibing, he had been rather unwilling, thinking he would make some achievements with Zhao Qibing and then petition Zhao Guangyin to return to the Zhao family for other duties. In his heart he had felt an illegitimate son could never amount to much. Yet now, beyond all expectation, Zhao Qibing had risen to the sky in a single step!

"This lowly one greets Elder Bi!" Li Cihua greeted Elder Bi with reverence.

At that moment Uncle Zhu and the Medicine King also came out from the inner room. They too had heard that Elder Bi had come. In the Zhao family they were both under Elder Bi's charge, so how could they fail to come out and pay their respects?

The Medicine King especially knew Elder Bi's medical skill well, and knew that Elder Bi also held the post of chief physician of the family, which made him all the more respectful.

"Greetings, Elder Bi!" After coming out, Uncle Zhu and the Medicine King both greeted Elder Bi with humble deference.

"Little Zhu, the master you follow is truly a kind-hearted man, loyal and righteous!" Since Elder Bi had already taken Zhao Qibing as his disciple, he began to plan for him and win hearts for him, so he said directly, "Do you know what Qibing said when the Old Master asked him what reward he wanted after he rendered great service to the family this time?"

"I do not know..." Uncle Zhu's heart tightened. He had not expected Elder Bi to cherish Zhao Qibing so dearly as to speak up for him. In the Zhao family, countless younger members wished to curry favor with Elder Bi, yet had no way in!
