Chapter 1395 – House Pi's Plan

“This is only my personal opinion, I don't know if the system will work the way I describe, I can't guarantee the result,” Old Hei hesitated. After all, he wasn't a hundred percent sure, who knew if something went south- the consequences would be huge.

“So are we going to start or not?” Elder Yu asked impatiently again, “Why don't we just go test the water? You guys go complete the life door's puzzle!”

“This…..” Old Hei flinched and smiled bitterly, “Elder Yu, this puzzle might have some traps hidden in it, it's a little dangerous…. We can't just touch it without any concern, otherwise things would surely go wrong!”

“Wrong?” Elder Yu frowned, not as annoyed anymore, “Then what should we do?”

“We can try… but who is willing to try?” Old Hei didn't mention a name but his gaze stopped at Elder Yu. He was the strongest among the group, after all. Naturally, a life threatening gamble like this should be given to the person with the most capability but this Elder Yu just had to be a coward! Elder Yu wanted him to do it but he didn't dare to point his finger at him.

Elder Yu, naturally, knew what Old Hei wanted but he didn't feel embara.s.sed at all as he coughed dryly and looked at Lin Yi, “Male thief, since you've gotten so many benefits, why don't you give more effort to make up for it? Otherwise, you give me the personal notes first and I'll go have a try?”

“Sure, you go and try, I'll let you copy the personal notes,” Lin Yi pondered and suggest.

Obviously Lin Yi would never agree giving the personal notes to Elder Yu. Besides, after listening to all the information about being an alchemist from Elder Yu, there was no way Lin Yi would give up the notes that easily, would he? Furthermore, in Zhang Liju's medical notes, he did mention how useful it was to be an alchemist, naturally making Lin Yi more determined to be one.

However, giving Elder Yu a copy was still acceptable. If Elder Yu wanted to copy the personal notes then he had to give Lin Yi time to copy the medical notes as well, both of them were on mutual terms so if Elder Yu tried to go against his words, then he would get nothing.

“I'm already giving you a copy of the medical notes, for what reason do I not get a copy of the personal notes? Try? Do you think that I'm an idiot?” Elder Yu complained, “Male thief, don't play tricks with me, go open the door quick!”

“For what reason should I let you have a copy?” Lin Yi asked faintly, “We did agree on the terms earlier- you will let me have a copy but we didn't agree upon giving you a copy, did we? Since you don't want the copy, I'll give it a try then.”

Elder Yu snorted inside, arrogant brat, since you are not givng me a copy, I'll just s.n.a.t.c.h it away from youlater. We will see who has the last laugh!

Lin Yi strolled towards the door of life and death, he strectched his hand out reaching the life door, moving one of the pieces of the puzzle. After waiting a moment, there was still no reaction from the jade on his chest, confirming Old Hei and Xiaoke's a.n.a.lysis. The life door had no danger and didn't need to complete a given order to unlock the door. As long as the puzzles were put in the right places, forming a complete painting, they could get out of this place.

“I think it's safe,” Lin Yi started moving the other puzzle pieces on the life door, and no unusual phenomenon nor dangers appeared.

“Phew—” The crowd released a breath of relief after seeing how Lin Yi casually moved the puzzle pieces around. Old Hei was extremely grateful to Lin Yi. In this tomb, if Lin Yi wasn't around, he would have been abandoned long ago. There was no way he could still stand here alive at the last stage of escaping the tomb, it was certaintly no easy task.

So Old Hei wasn't stingy at giving compliments, “Male thief is still the strongest, exceeding the rest in bravery.

“Complete it quickly,” Lin Yi didn't talk much and just turned around, leaving the door behind him. Lin Yi was no expert in puzzles, and since Old Hei and You Xiaoke could do it, there was no need for him to do it and pa.s.sed the task back to them.

Although the puzzles were completed on the ground, putting all the pieces in the right places on the door wasn't an easy task either! There were approximately more than a hundred pieces of the puzzle, otherwise Xiaoke and Old Hei wouldn't have wasted so much time and effort on it.

In Hidden House Pi, Pi Jiake and Pi Zhishan were both sitting in a closed room discussing.

“Are you sure you heard it correctly? That Er Goudan is no master and just gained his strength from a special circ.u.mstance. After he used up all his power he would be no different from an ordinary human?” Pi Jiake asked with a serious face.

“Yes, dad!” Pi Zhishan nodded, “Besides, according to my inspection, after using all his power, Er Goudan is in fact weaker than an ordinary person, he is currenly injured and bed-ridden,” Pi Zhishan conitnued, “This man is probably at his most fragile point, not threatening at all.”

“What are you trying to say?” Pi Jiake nodded.

“Dad, I think that, we House Pi have lost three masters under Lin Yi and his follower's hand. We can't take this humilliation anymore, otherwise, other n.o.ble houses might think that House Pi is so weak and useless, we aren't even able to defend ourselves!” Pi Zhishan wanted revenge after learning that Er Goudan was not a strong master.

“Of course, we can't take this humilliation but at the same time, what do other n.o.ble houses' opinions have to do with us?” Pi Jiake waved his hand and lectured, “Zhishan, you're still too young. You might be good at handling things but you still can't escape being too young and aggresive in doing things. We shouldn't care about others' opinions on us, so what if they think that we are the joke of the century? Just let them be, House Pi doesn't have to lose anything from it, either!

“Yes, dad, thanks for the lesson!” Pi Zhishan was taken aback and quickly apologized, “Dad, I understand now, indeed, I cared too much about our face!”

“En, remember, being a hidden n.o.ble house, if you wish to stay at the top or advance to the next level, you need to learn 'thick and black' philosophy. Your face has to be thick and your heart has to be black, no matter what others think of us, we shouldn't dwell on it. The most important thing is how we deal with people!” Pi Jiake continued, “Like what you said, Er Goudan was this strong because he used some special channel to increase his strength, but for him to just kill Jin Wudi like that… we can't underestimate an enemy like this. At that time, if we were to be aggresive and avenge our fellow masters without thinking, the dead ones would have been the Pi masters instead of Jin Wudi! Its the same for now, although we think Er Goudan is no longer capable, what if when we go to look for revenge, he had already recovered his strength? There is still a Lin Yi behind him and only G.o.d knows where he is from. We can seek revenge from these people but we shouldn't be the ones getting down and dirty, aren't there some impatient people looking to kill Lin Yi? We can use them to avenge our house.”

“You're right… dad, are you trying to say that we should release the news of Er Goudan and let others do the job while we observe the fight from the dark?” Pi Zhishan nodded and asked.
