1455 Conspiracy

Old Master Qi invited Celestial Master Zhang to the study again. Sure enough, he wanted to ask why Zhenbai had lost control just now. Old Master Qi was very puzzled, but there was no way he would think about baleful aura at all. Old Master Qi was more worried about Zhenbai’s health. He couldn’t help but ask seriously, “Celestial Master Zhang, is Zhenbai really fine? Why do I feel that something’s wrong?”

In fact, Celestial Master Zhang wanted to raise this issue, but there was no solution, and it would just cause panic in the Qi family if he said anything. He had a vague guess that as long as the baleful aura ran wild, Young Master Qi would also lose control of his emotions.

If that was the case, the situation hadn’t reached the worst point yet. Although Young Master Qi had too much baleful aura hidden in his body, his body also contained surging purple aura, which seemed to be able to control the baleful aura. Coupled with the Fiend Suppression Talisman, Young Master Qi’s condition could be stabilized for the time being.

To be honest, Celestial Master Zhang didn’t want to get involved in these muddy waters anymore, but he also understood that it hadn’t been Young Master Qi’s intent to suddenly attack him earlier. Besides, their Longhu Mountain couldn’t do without the Qi family’s help. Celestial Master Zhang pondered for a moment before he said, “Elder Qi, Young Master Qi should be fine for the time being. I’ll stay with the Qi family for a while longer and observe him further. As for Young Master Qi, he did lose control just now, but it was just his cold ailment flaring up. It’s not a big deal!”

Sure enough, as soon as Celestial Master Zhang finished speaking, Old Master Qi’s complexion improved a lot. Although he still had a lot of questions in his heart, it wasn’t good to be suspicious.

Father Qi didn’t dare interrupt, but after listening to Celestial Master Zhang, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Old Master Qi also knew that he had indeed troubled Celestial Master Zhang too much today. After confirming that Zhenbai was fine, he didn’t disturb Celestial Master Zhang anymore, and immediately had someone take him to a guest room to rest.

Before Celestial Master Zhang left, he pondered for a moment. Taking advantage of the moment Father Qi left, he said, “Elder Qi, Young Master Qi didn’t ask about the grave being moved, but I feel that he knows some of it.”

Old Master Qi wasn’t surprised that Zhenbai knew about Fourth Brother Qi’s plan. Given how shrewd Zhenbai was, it would be strange if he couldn’t see through it. This was also the reason why Old Master Qi had said before that he would give Zhenbai an explanation. He didn’t want to disappoint this child again.

Old Master Qi sighed and said to Celestial Master Zhang, “Thank you for the reminder.”

Not long after Celestial Master Zhang left, the Qi family’s second and third sons entered the study and asked in concern, “Dad, is Zhenbai okay?”

Old Master Qi didn’t answer directly, but suddenly asked, “Where’s your fourth brother?”

The Qi family’s third son was the first to speak. “Fourth Brother is here and hasn’t gone anywhere. He’s concerned and worried about Zhenbai. When we went downstairs just now, he kept asking about Zhenbai’s condition. Looking at him now, he does have some self-awareness as an uncle!”

Third Brother Qi put in a good word for his younger brother. In his heart, Fourth Brother Qi was still his younger brother.

Although his personality wasn’t likable, he was still his younger brother. Although Fourth Brother Qi had always been at odds with Zhenbai, Third Brother Qi now hoped that Fourth Brother Qi had grown up a little. He had done well today and was quite concerned about Zhenbai, so Third Brother Qi couldn’t wait to put in a good word for Fourth Brother Qi in front of the old man.

Old Master Qi sneered coldly when he heard Third Brother Qi’s words. In Third Brother Qi’s view, Fourth Brother Qi was concerned about Zhenbai, but Old Master Qi knew that Fourth Brother Qi couldn’t wait to find out more about Zhenbai’s condition and couldn’t wait for him to die. There was no way he cared at all.

He was already utterly disappointed in his son, and was now numb. If his fourth son had the slightest bit of genuine concern for Zhenbai and wasn’t so ruthless, Old Master Qi wouldn’t deal with him so harshly. However, his fourth son, this animal, was too ruthless. Old Master Qi finally made up his mind and instructed his third son, “Make sure to keep an eye on him for the next few days. Report his movements to me immediately.”

Stunned, the Qi family’s third son subconsciously nodded in agreement. The old man then instructed his second son, “Help me investigate who your fourth brother has been especially close to recently. Let me know immediately after you find out.”

Second Brother Qi: “Yes, Dad!”

“One last thing: You’re not allowed to tell anyone what I instructed you to do today. Okay, you guys leave first!” The old man waved tiredly for his two sons to leave.

After listening to the old man’s instructions, the second and third sons of the Qi family went out together in a daze. After a while, Third Brother Qi whispered to his second brother, “Second Brother, why do you think Dad suddenly wants us to keep an eye on Fourth Brother? What on earth is going on? Why do I feel so uneasy?”

Second Brother Qi had more thoughts. He wasn’t in a hurry to reply to his third brother as the two went downstairs together. He had a vague sense of what the old man’s attitude toward his fourth brother was like, which alarmed him. But why?

As the second son of the Qi family was thinking this, he went downstairs and heard his fourth brother’s voice not far away. At that moment, Fourth Brother Qi asked his eldest brother, “Brother, is Zhenbai really fine? How’s his health? Do you want me to help take a look?.. Is he really fine?”

Second Brother Qi wasn’t in a hurry to interrupt his fourth brother, and inadvertently glanced at him. He felt that Fourth Brother was paying too much attention to Zhenbai’s condition, which was somewhat out of character for him.

Unlike Third Brother, he didn’t believe that Fourth Brother was genuinely concerned about their nephew. He had grown up with Fourth Brother. Because Fourth Brother was the youngest son, he was very selfish and spoiled. He was ambitious, but just so happened to be incompetent. He had always been jealous of and hated Zhenbai, and had even tried to kill him in the past. After that, the two of them were even more at odds with each other. Sometimes, he even saw hatred for Zhenbai in Fourth Brother’s eyes.

Would he be worried about Zhenbai? Second Brother Qi didn’t believe it. He inexplicably thought of what his son had said about Fourth Brother. The more he thought about it, the more alarmed he became. What if what happened to Zhenbai this time was also his fourth brother’s fault?

Thinking this, Second Brother Qi felt his heart turn cold. He stared fixedly at his fourth brother, and his heart sank when he saw the faint gloating on his face.
