1457 Stealing a Chicken Only to Lose the Rice

Fourth Brother Qi wasn’t asleep as he waited for the Zhuang family to make a move. He had to see with his own eyes that Qi Zhenbai was dead before he could sleep.

At the thought that Qi Zhenbai might die at the hands of the Zhuang family tonight, Fourth Brother Qi was overjoyed and excited.

At that moment, he vaguely heard movement in Qi Zhenbai’s room. He couldn’t help but get excited. Sure enough!

The Zhuang family had made a move.

Fourth Brother Qi couldn’t be bothered to change and immediately went outside. He waited at Qi Zhenbai’s door for more than ten minutes, but he didn’t hear any more movements. He originally wanted to take it slow, but what if his nephew was still alive?

As soon as he thought this, he saw Celestial Master Zhang walking over with an anxious expression. Fourth Brother Qi’s face changed. He gritted his teeth and could only open the door and pretend to call out in concern, “Zhenbai, Zhenbai, are you okay?”

Unfortunately, Fourth Brother Qi was unlucky. As soon as he opened the door, he was sent flying by a powerful shock wave, and he crashed into the wall a few meters away. He screamed like a pig being slaughtered. When he rolled to the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood in disbelief and resentment. He stared at the door before his vision turned black, and he fainted.

Celestial Master Zhang, who had arrived late, sensed this strong fluctuation of baleful aura, and his face changed drastically. Ignoring the unconscious fourth son of the Qi family on the ground, he stuck a few Fiend Avoiding Talismans on himself and gritted his teeth as he entered.

The Qi family patriarch and the others were woken up by Fourth Brother Qi’s scream. They could also hear that it seemed to have come from the direction of Zhenbai’s room, and they hurriedly got up, afraid that something had happened to Zhenbai!

Old Master Qi and Father Qi arrived at the same time. When they saw the unconscious Fourth Brother Qi, their faces changed drastically.

Father Qi was puzzled. He really didn’t understand why his fourth brother was unconscious outside Zhenbai’s room so late at night.

If Father Qi’s eyes were filled with bewilderment, Old Master Qi’s sharp eyes flashed coldly when he looked at the unconscious fourth son of the Qi family outside Zhenbai’s room.

“Dad, what on earth is going on? Why is Fourth Brother at Zhenbai’s door?” Father Qi had been woken up by Fourth Brother’s scream. Father Qi’s attention finally shifted from his fourth brother to his son, and his face was flustered as he changed the topic. “Dad, did something happen to Zhenbai as well?”

With that, Father Qi rushed into his son’s room. Old Master Qi didn’t say anything, and his face was very unsightly. On closer look, he was as anxious as Father Qi. Old Master Qi was worried about Zhenbai, so he couldn’t care less about replying to Father Qi. He leaned on his cane and followed Father Qi in.

Before the two could enter, however, Celestial Master Zhang hurried out and stopped them without an explanation. At that moment, Celestial Master Zhang’s face was very solemn and unsightly. He hurriedly said, “Elder Qi, I advise you not to enter right now.”

As Celestial Master Zhang spoke, he immediately set up an array at the door. Old Master Qi and Father Qi saw a golden light flash, and a golden barrier blocked Zhenbai’s door.

Old Master Qi and Father Qi were worried sick about Zhenbai. After listening to Celestial Master Zhang, their faces changed drastically. Old Master Qi’s face was gloomy and terrible as he hurriedly asked, “Celestial Master Zhang, what the hell is going on?”

Father Qi immediately added, “That’s right, Celestial Master Zhang, what’s wrong with my son? What on earth just happened?”

While Old Master Qi and Father Qi were asking questions, Mother Qi, Second Brother Qi and his wife, Third Brother Qi and his wife, as well as Qi Hao and Qi Yunchang, all rushed over.

Everyone’s faces changed when they saw Fourth Brother Qi’s unconscious body at the door. Second and Third Brother Qi hurriedly asked, “Dad, what on earth happened?”

“What’s wrong with Fourth Brother?”

Mother Qi’s attention was on her son. Fourth Brother Qi was unconscious at Zhenbai’s door, but what about Zhenbai?

At the thought that something might have happened to Zhenbai and he might have fainted like Fourth Brother Qi, Mother Qi’s vision turned black. Fortunately, Qi Hao and Qi Yunchang hurriedly supported Mother Qi. Qi Hao hurriedly advised, “Aunt, my cousin will definitely be fine! Don’t worry, listen to Grandpa and Uncle.”

Only after Qi Hao consoled her did Mother Qi’s face improve a little, but it was still deathly pale. She asked Father Qi in a shaky voice, “Zhen… Zhenbai, what… happened to him?”

Celestial Master Zhang’s eyes swept over the Qi family as he set up the array. Seeing that their expressions were really terrible, he had to give them an adequate reply, or they would probably force their way in.

Celestial Master Zhang deliberated for a while before he said, “Young Master Qi is fine and is still in his room. Don’t worry, Mrs. Qi.”

Not only did Mother Qi and the rest of the Qi family relax at Celestial Master Zhang’s words, Old Master Qi and Father Qi also sighed with relief.

Qi Hao was worried about his cousin and couldn’t wait to go in and take a look. He immediately asked Celestial Master Zhang, “Celestial Master Zhang, can I go and see my cousin?”

Celestial Master Zhang’s expression was still calm. He pursed his lips and said, “Young Master Qi is indeed fine, but it’s best if you calm down for now. I’ve already set up a barrier. You might not be able to enter even if you want to. It’s best to let Young Master Qi rest tonight.”

As soon as he said that, the Qi family panicked again. Mother Qi’s face was deathly pale and her vision turned black. Unreconciled, she asked over and over, “Celestial Master Zhang, is my son really fine?”

Old Master Qi’s sharp eyes swept over Celestial Master Zhang’s solemn and unsightly face, and his heart inexplicably sank. However, Old Master Qi had always been decisive, so he immediately ordered, “No one is allowed to enter Zhenbai’s room tonight to disturb his rest.”

Then, the old man had his second and third sons carry his fourth son away. After Celestial Master Zhang set up the barrier, Old Master Qi motioned for him to go to the study with him.

However, Celestial Master Zhang didn’t follow the old man to the study this time. Instead, he said to Old Master Qi, “Elder Qi, if you trust me, why don’t you wait until tomorrow for me to help take a look at Young Master Qi? Now isn’t the time!”
