Chapter 1022 — Xie Yufeng's Plan
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Feng Xiaoxiao had simply spoken without thinking, while the listener had taken it to heart! The only intimate moment with Wei Zhao she could call to mind was that little flirtation back at the auction, so the words had come out of her quite naturally, without her ever giving them much thought.
But to Wei Zhao's ears, they carried a whiff of seduction.
"Why are you reacting like that..." Wei Zhao's movement nearly scared Feng Xiaoxiao's heart clean out of her chest. She had been tense to begin with, so when Wei Zhao suddenly croaked out that "Gah," how could she not be frightened?
"It's nothing, Xiaoxiao. Just... don't go tempting me in class from now on," Wei Zhao said, a little helplessly.
"Huh?" Feng Xiaoxiao was taken aback, then her face flushed red. "I did no such thing."
"Heh heh..." Wei Zhao chuckled.
Blushing, Feng Xiaoxiao turned her head away, not daring to look at Wei Zhao again; bold as she was, she could not withstand his teasing.
But just as Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao were carrying on like this, a far less friendly gaze shot their way, settling on Feng Xiaoxiao's face, then sweeping across Wei Zhao's.
The owner of that gaze wore a somewhat gloomy look and gave a cold snort: "This kid's luck with women isn't bad, huh!"
"Isn't that the truth, Young Master Xie! That brat is a real piece of work — yesterday he made Young Master Xie look so bad!" Wang Congming nodded as he spoke. "It's only that Young Master Xie cannot make a move, since he has to conceal his strength. Otherwise, how would Wei Zhao ever be a match for Young Master Xie? He's merely at the early stage of the Profound Rank — before Young Master Xie, he's pathetically weak!"
The Yu family's current understanding of Wei Zhao's strength still came entirely from Yu Kun. At that time Wei Zhao had indeed been at the early stage of the Profound Rank, and no one in the Yu family could have dreamed that in so short a time he would rise two levels in a row to the mid stage of the Profound Rank!
To them, this was utterly impossible and contrary to all reason. After all, everyone in the Yu family knew full well how long one had to cultivate and what price one had to pay to advance a single level, so they simply refused to believe that Wei Zhao could have advanced at all!
And so Xie Yufeng still had no idea that Wei Zhao was already a formidable expert at the mid stage of the Profound Rank! In his eyes, he himself was an expert at the peak of the early Profound Rank, and killing Wei Zhao would be more than easy! Nor was he to blame for thinking so — he had none of Wei Zhao's golden finger, so how could he possibly see through Wei Zhao's strength?
"Naturally! But for the sake of the Yu family's grand plan, I cannot use true qi — for now I must simply endure it!" Xie Yufeng snorted coldly. "This Feng Xiaoxiao is a slut as well. Look at that cheap face of hers, carrying on so hot and heavy with Wei Zhao — she's no good either! By the way, have the backgrounds of those girls I had you investigate come out yet?"
Xie Yufeng had failed to win over Feng Xiaoxiao yesterday, so his mood was naturally foul, and seeing her so close with Wei Zhao only soured it further.
"Young Master Xie, apart from Gu Mengyao, who needed no investigation, everything else has been looked into thoroughly. This Feng Xiaoxiao's family has nothing to speak of. Her father is a special agent, but he won't turn against the Yu family over his daughter's affairs," Wang Congming said.
"Mm, and the others?" Xie Yufeng nodded and asked.
"That Shen Yushu is from the Chen family. It would be best if Young Master Xie kept his hands off her," Wang Congming said.
"The Chen family? The Chen great clan?" Xie Yufeng asked.
"Yes. Her brother is Chen Yuxuan. Though Chen Yuxuan is the only cultivator left in the Chen family, it is still a great clan after all," Wang Congming said. "So it would be best not to touch her."
