Chapter 1465: Same Purpose Chapter 1464 – Same Purpose “One room is good, we’re together,” Qikun said respectfully with a nod. “Alright, one room. The deposit is ten thousand, and the rent is five hundred a day,” The boss said faintly. Qijiu quickly paid and went up with Qikun. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚 The prices for housing here wasn’t high; the price required to join the test was ridiculous. Evidently, the rent and deposit were just something for normal tourists. Just then, Lin Yi had already left the room and was standing in front of his door, listening intently to the conversation below! Because of his curiosity, Lin Yi wanted to find out what was going on. With no one else in the hotel, the words were crystal clear. Ice Palace test? What was that? Lin Yi didn’t know what this was about- it sounded like some sort of sect activity. Plus, these two, Zhao Qikun and Zhao Qijiu, seemed to have some invitation that the owner didn’t even care to see? Everyone who came here had that invitation? So that was why the owner wasn’t even weirded out by the fact that Lin Yi was here- he assumed that he had the invitation, and was participating in the test! Lin Yi realized then that it was why the hotel was so big, it was for this purpose alone, and it was also the reasoning behind the ancient inn name! The sects always liked those names. But just what was this test about? Was it a good thing or a bad thing that he just stumbled upon this? Zhao Qikun, Zhao Qijiu- the hidden House Zhao. These two had names similar to Zhao Qibing, so were they from his hidden house? Lin Yi quickly added the names to the list of people he should be wary of. He was already knee-deep in vengeance with the hidden house Zhao- Qibing, Uncle Zhu, Yao Wang... They were all injured because of him, and Lin Yi had no intent to make peace! The war between them was different from the pettiness between him and Chentian, after all. At the end of the day, Lin Yi and Chentian were really just playing around more than anything- with Lin Yi basically pranking him. They didn’t even get into a fight or anything, but Qibing was different. He’d come at him multiple times for trouble, so unless House Zhao gave Qibing to Lin Yi, there was no peace to be made. Of course, these two were in his list for him to be careful of, but this didn’t mean he couldn’t interact with them and get some info. He needed to understand what this test was about first. But his name was already famous in House Zhao, he assumed. With that thought. Fortunately, though, he came here with a fake name that Tianlong gave him, Ling Yi. This name was one he used back then when he helped with the special police department, and the identity had full registration with Tianlong. This was also because Tianlong was worried that he’d get into trouble dragging an ice coffin around in his car. Lin Yi, Ling Yi- they were similar names, but they were different people altogether. These two wouldn’t suspect him, and even if they did, he would’ve learned all that he needed to. But, coincidentally, Jianwen was also on the same path, naming the soldier “01”- Ling Yi- after Lin Yi! Naturally, Lin Yi didn’t rush to meet these two Zhaos- he just stayed in his room waiting! When Qikun parked his car, he already knew from the tone of his voice that he came this early to make contact. And so he might as well wait for that- it wouldn’t seem out of place, either. Qikun and Qijiu came here so soon also because their old elder was in isolation- however! Before leaving, the disciples from the other houses would all talk with their parents and heads of the house, to learn of the things they should pay attention to in the test. But since Old Zhao was in isolated practitioning, there was nothing the two could do but come earlier and get some info, see if they could get any alliances or anything. “Grandpa sure got into isolation at the wrong time, right when the invitation started...” Qikun said as he settled down in the room. “Back then, when I was looking forward to this test, I would ask him about it, and he’d tell me that when the time came, he would inform me of something... That I wouldn’t have the mood for practitioning if I knew about this benefit back then... And now, he’s in isolation!” Qijiu was the right-hand man of Qikun, so he had nothing to hide, Qijiu was a loyal supporter of Qikun in House Zhao, after all, and he wanted him to take the heirship. “Master Kun, the old elder has his concerns, but the fact that we’re able to come this time was pretty fortunate! If the test had taken place a few years later, it wouldn’t be me or you here anymore!” Qijiu sighed. “It doesn’t seem like our position in House Zhao is very bright for now!” “You’re talking about... Zhao Qibing?” He frowned. “Yeah! That Zhao Qibing, I heard that he was never sent to meet with the old elder, but all of a sudden, he’s back in House Zhao with Elder Bi as his shifu... Did something happen here that we don’t know about?” Qijiu nodded. “This is also what I’ve been worried about, but grandpa is in isolated practitioning, and the only other person who knows about it was Elder Bi, whom none of us could question other than grandpa...” Qikun said, annoyed. “I think that- you see, this Zhao Qibing’s appearance... Maybe it has something to do with Grandpa’s isolation?” “His isolation practitioning? You’re saying that he went into isolation because of Zhao Qibing?” Qijiu froze. “No way, right? He’s just a tyrannical young master type, not even a practitioner! Why would he have anything to do with this?”
