Chapter 1162 — Meeting Xie Yufeng Again

"What a feast!" Shen Yushu lay sprawled on the sand, cradling her round little belly, too lazy to stir.
"So good! Truly delicious — that Yang Ganglou really is a good man, buying all this wonderful food!" Feng Xiaoxiao, stuffed to the brim herself, said with a burp.
Gu Mengyao and Tang Zhi, by contrast, were more refined. Both were the sort to taste a little and stop; once they were full, that was that, and they would not keep eating just because the food was good.
"Hm? Isn't that Wei Zhao? And Mengyao, Yushu, Tang Zhi and Xiaoxiao?" Just as the group sat resting after their meal, a familiar voice rang out.
Wei Zhao looked up — to his surprise, it was Xie Yufeng!
At this time, in this place, running into Xie Yufeng gave Wei Zhao no small surprise.
"Xie Yufeng? Is your car fixed?" Wei Zhao had already grown suspicious of Xie Yufeng's background. This fellow who concealed his strength before him was naturally not someone Wei Zhao would ever befriend deeply, and so his manner toward Xie Yufeng had always been cold.
"Haha, it's only a car. I bought another one." A flicker of hatred passed through Xie Yufeng's eyes. If Wei Zhao had not been present back then, he was certain it would not have been him paying others money, but others paying him! This detestable creature — always appearing just when he was about to unleash his true strength. Was that not simply meant to vex him?
Xie Yufeng had not intended to greet Wei Zhao today, but thinking of the heavy charge his family had laid upon him — to find out what lay behind Wei Zhao — he had no choice but to feign friendliness with him, hoping to glean some information from his words.
From his observations, Xie Yufeng found that apart from being close to those four pretty girls — Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, Tang Zhi and Feng Xiaoxiao — Wei Zhao seemed to have no contact with anyone else at all. This brat appeared to spend his days chasing skirts.
The backgrounds of Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu and Feng Xiaoxiao were plain to Xie Yufeng at a glance. Apart from Tang Zhi, who came from common stock, all three had some pedigree behind them. Yet all three got along famously with Wei Zhao — which meant one had to admit the boy was formidable.
If he had no real skill, he could not have won the favor of these three girls. Could Wei Zhao truly be a scion of some hidden family sent out for training... or even someone from an ancient sect? The more Xie Yufeng came into contact with Wei Zhao, the less he could gauge where the man came from — and the less he dared to act rashly.
Though he was arrogant by nature, always looking down his nose at others and believing he could kill Wei Zhao with a single move, the string of setbacks he had suffered of late had cooled Xie Yufeng's whole head.
He was waiting — waiting for the Xiao family to make the first move. Before, there had been no hope of that; the Xiao family had sunk so low they could scarcely look after themselves, so where would they find time to trouble Wei Zhao? But now the Xiao family had the backing of the hidden Pi family, and the one Wei Zhao had injured was precisely a member of the hidden Pi family. So Xie Yufeng was content to sit back and take his ease, and not be the one to stick his neck out.
Let the Xiao family step forward first. If they killed Wei Zhao, all the better; if they failed, they would still sound out his depths. And he, Xie Yufeng, was no fool. He had a more important task now: to win Qiu Lingshan.
She was the Song family's genius girl, and a beauty besides. He had heard that the Song family's cultivation method was most suited to dual cultivation — once he got her into bed, would his own skills not advance by leaps and bounds? He had heard that even the Song family's old master, a martial cripple, had been forced up to the late Yellow rank. So for a genius like himself, would he not shoot straight up to the Earth rank?
