Chapter 1297 — Who Is This Person? It Is No Surprise That He Could See Wei Zhao's Strength Level, Because Wei Zhao Had Already Revealed His Strength When He Disinfected the Silver Needles!

But Feng Sanmang was certain: from first to last, he had never once used true qi to do anything. So how had Wei Zhao discovered his strength? It left Feng Sanmang deeply astonished.
Feng Sanmang did not know whether Wei Zhao's words were true or false, but the mere fact that he could see his strength and still remain so composed before him meant they must be true! In other words, Wei Zhao could hold his own against him, an expert at the peak of the late Xuan stage.
For the first time, Feng Sanmang wondered whether he had been sticking his nose in where it did not belong.
Yet Wei Zhao's next words set his mind at ease: he said he would never sell out a friend. So Feng Sanmang shook his head and quickly caught up with Xu Shilan's group.
"Hubby Wei Zhao, what did that close guard mean by that? Is he threatening us? And he is actually an expert at the peak of the late Xuan stage?" Once Feng Sanmang had gone, Feng Xiaoxiao asked in surprise.
"Yes, indeed. There is something mysterious about that man," Wei Zhao said with a nod. "I do not know why an expert at the peak of the late Xuan stage would stoop to serving as Xu Shilan's close guard, and for only thirty thousand yuan a month. That price is far too cheap."
"Still, you can tell he is truly thinking of Xu Shilan. He threatened us for her sake, so as long as he treats her well, it has nothing to do with us," Feng Xiaoxiao said.
"True, it has little to do with us." Wei Zhao took Feng Xiaoxiao's hand and entered the Starlight Splendor Grand Hotel. Because of the group photo at the gymnasium earlier, some time had been lost, so Xu Shilan, the staff, and Wei Zhao were the last to arrive at the Starlight Splendor Grand Hotel.
As for the celebrities and social elites who had been invited, they had long since arrived in the Starlight Splendor banquet hall.
With the invitation Sister Wang had given him, Wei Zhao entered the banquet hall without a hitch, and sat down with Feng Xiaoxiao in a random corner.
Wei Zhao kept a low profile, for in the banquet hall he had spotted several acquaintances.
Li Cihua. Zhao Qibing! Xiao Wangdao, Xiao Wangba! And Wu Chengtian, who was with them! Besides them, there was another man who struck Wei Zhao as familiar, as though he had seen him somewhere before. Who was this person?
"Is that not that idiot Ironhand Wu?" Feng Xiaoxiao had spotted Wu Chengtian too. "And those two foolish Xiao brothers."
"It is him. Never mind them; let us wait here for Xu Shilan." Wei Zhao had no interest in these people. So long as they did not provoke him, he had no interest in seeking trouble with them.
Zhao Qibing was delighted today. He knew Xu Shilan would certainly not welcome his presence at the celebration banquet, but as one of Songshan City's young lords, he had still gotten an invitation from the entertainment company.
The entertainment company knew nothing of the grudge between Xu Shilan and Zhao Qibing. So long as they were young lords of any standing in Songshan City, the company had sent them invitations.
Though Xu Shilan was a Jade Girl star with not a hint of scandal, sometimes these young lords were needed to raise her worth. What kind of great star was one whom nobody pursued?
"Young Master Bing, your leg... why is it still not healed?" Xiao Wangba asked, eyeing Zhao Qibing's wheelchair with some puzzlement. Zhao Qibing's leg had been broken so long ago, and he even had a Medicine King at his side; he ought to have recovered quickly. So why was he still in a wheelchair?
"Do not bring that up!" A shadow passed over Zhao Qibing's face. And all because of Wei Zhao! Yet now he could do nothing at all about Wei Zhao.
