Chapter 979 — My Dad Wants to See You Again
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
The matter of the Yu family—one dead—and the Xiao family—one reduced to idiocy—had thoroughly jolted Zhong Yongliang's nerves. Until he had enough strength, he would absolutely not entertain any ideas about Wei Zhao again. And as for Feng Xiaoxiao, who had once stood on the same battle line as him, he naturally did not want her provoking Wei Zhao anymore either.
If Feng Xiaoxiao provoked Wei Zhao and Wei Zhao lumped him, Zhong Yongliang, together with Feng Xiaoxiao as one bunch, then he would be in real trouble. So to avoid being dragged in, he had decided to give Feng Xiaoxiao a good talking-to and make her drop any designs on Wei Zhao.
In any case, Zhong Yongliang also felt that with Feng Xiaoxiao's abilities, there was simply no way she could do anything to Wei Zhao.
"Oh?" Feng Xiaoxiao was taken aback. "What's going on? Weren't you grinding your teeth with hatred for him before?"
"Ah, don't even mention it!" Zhong Yongliang shook his head. "Xiaoxiao, I'm telling you this only because we've always gotten along well! Did you know? The Yu family and the Xiao family in Yanjing both went after Wei Zhao... Those two are old established clans—have you heard of them?"
"The Yu family? The Xiao family?" How could Feng Xiaoxiao not have heard of them? She had attended the Yu family's auction not long ago, and afterward she had even sat at the same table as Wei Zhao and the Xiao family's younger generation. Naturally she knew these two great clans. "They went after Wei Zhao?"
"That's right. Those were Mystic-rank experts of the established families, and they went after Wei Zhao. Guess how it turned out?" As Zhong Yongliang said this, he felt rather glum. The gap between his own strength and Wei Zhao's was far too great. It was lucky he had never pushed Wei Zhao too far before—otherwise he might not live to see the day Zhang Naipao came down from the mountain.
"How did it turn out?" For no reason at all, Feng Xiaoxiao's heart tightened, and that startled her slightly. Why would she be nervous about Wei Zhao? Wasn't getting revenge on him what she wanted most? Now two great powers had helped her take revenge on Wei Zhao—so why was she not happy?
No—the one Wei Zhao had offended was her. If there was to be revenge, it had to be her own revenge, and no one else's! Feng Xiaoxiao gave herself a reason!
"The Yu family lost one of their own, and the Xiao family's man has been left a vegetable..." Zhong Yongliang sighed. "Little Sister Xiaoxiao, we're no match for him, so let's not act rashly!"
"What? Wei Zhao beat a member of the Yu family to death and turned one of the Xiao family into an idiot? And he walked away without a scratch?" Feng Xiaoxiao's eyes went wide as she stared at Zhong Yongliang in disbelief.
Feng Tianlong knew all of this but had not told Feng Xiaoxiao. In his view, Wei Zhao was a man of real strength, and those great clans had indeed grown rather reckless in recent years. Yes, they moved beyond the rules of the mundane world, but that was no license to go too far. Now someone was giving them a good knocking, and he reckoned that some among the higher-ups would be glad to see it—more than glad, in fact.
