Chapter 1015 — Only to Be Expected
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Wild as the guess seemed, it was the only possibility Wei Zhao could think of! Apart from that, he could imagine no other fault, and now it felt as if everything were ready except for one last east wind, so the moment the thought came to him he hastened to act on it!
"Uncle Qing, I will go rest a while and recover my strength. You adjust yourself for now." Wei Zhao wasted no words. He had to restore his power as quickly as possible, for then he would know whether it was the lack of energy in his own body that had kept Uncle Qing from breaking through further!
"Very well, Xiaoyi, go and rest at once!" Uncle Qing nodded hastily.
Wei Zhao said no more, turned out of Uncle Qing's room, and strode quickly toward his own room!
The young lady and Xiaoshu had long since gone to sleep. Every night Wei Zhao went to heal Uncle Qing, so there was nothing strange in it for them anymore.
Once back in his room, Wei Zhao swiftly entered the jade pendant space, seizing every moment to restore the energy he had lost! Outside the sky was already light, and Wei Zhao had to make use of every minute and second to cultivate!
In the blink of an eye the sun stood high overhead, and it was already noon!
Uncle Qing had already driven Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu to school. Though they found it odd that Wei Zhao had not gotten up, Uncle Qing told them he had spent a great deal of true qi healing his injuries and had to rest.
So Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu asked no more after hearing that. After Uncle Qing had taken them to school, he hurried back home. He could not leave Wei Zhao alone in the house with an easy mind, and though Mighty General stood guard, Uncle Qing had to watch beside him to feel at ease.
With a click, the door of Wei Zhao's room swung open, and Wei Zhao walked out!
On the sofa, Uncle Qing, who had been waiting anxiously, heard the sound and jumped to his feet. Seeing Wei Zhao come out, he asked hurriedly, "Xiaoyi, how did it go?"
"I am fine, my strength is all recovered!" At this Wei Zhao could not help feeling a touch of regret. After this recovery, he still remained at the mid-Mystic stage. It seemed not every loss of energy could bring an advance in strength!
His earlier advances had come because he had cultivated for a time and the energy in his body had built up nearly enough to touch the barrier of the next level, so that after the energy was spent, drawing it in again in one surge had smashed through the barrier and made a breakthrough in an instant!
But now, Wei Zhao had broken through to the mid-Mystic stage only a few days before, and these past days he had kept spending true qi to heal Uncle Qing, having to restore what he lost each day with no time to cultivate for himself, so his failure to break through this time was only to be expected!
