Chapter 1346 — I Don't Believe You
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
These people killed without blinking an eye, more ruthless than tomb robbers like themselves — how would they dare do business with them? So this thing was only something to dream about; if you truly took it in hand, you would only fear bringing disaster upon yourself. If they themselves were also cultivators or members of a clan, then of course business would be done fairly. But if not — well, sorry, the only option was to kill the man and seize the pill.
And over there, Yu Xiaoke, Qiu Lingshan, and Chen Yuxuan were also stunned, finding it almost unbelievable. In this world there actually existed such a formidable medicine? One that could let an expert at the peak of the late Earth-rank break through their bottleneck?
"Oh." Wei Zhao nodded disapprovingly. "And what if there are two? Would you take only one, then?"
Old Yu's expression changed at once, and he felt somewhat out of sorts. What was wrong with this kid? Did he not know how to behave? He himself had said he would take only one thing, but if there were two pills, then naturally he would take them both as well! "One thing" was merely a manner of speaking — it did not mean he would take only a single item of that thing!
"Nonsense, naturally I would take them both — that counts as one thing," Old Yu snorted.
"Is that so? Then apart from this one thing, you want nothing else?" Wei Zhao said coldly. "You have already gone back on your word. I find it very hard to believe in your credibility. You are a man utterly without honor. If you change your mind then, what recourse would I have?"
"Since you know there is no recourse, why ask?" Old Yu was about to die of rage. Was there something wrong with this kid? He knew there was no recourse, yet he still asked such pointless questions?
"Then you admit it — apart from this one thing, you are still interested in other things?" Wei Zhao sneered. "If I have guessed right, you have other, more important things to obtain, and this Qi-Gathering Pill is merely a blind. Such a precious Qi-Gathering Pill, and yet you announced its efficacy without the slightest scruple — you are no fool, so are you not afraid we will covet it? There can be only one purpose behind your doing this: to divert our attention, to make us ignore something even more important. Am I right?"
Old Yu's expression turned somewhat ugly. He had not expected Wei Zhao to analyze it so thoroughly, to lay his heart completely bare! And Wei Zhao was not wrong in the least. This time, what the Yu family plotted was absolutely not so simple as a Qi-Gathering Pill — there were other things as well!
But this other thing was reproducible. So Old Yu did not wish to speak of it; if the others then proposed that a copy be made for each of them, he would be in an awkward position.
If, after entering the ancient tomb, they could come out smoothly, then Old Yu naturally would not care. What he feared was that once inside, getting out would not be so easy — and at that point he could not afford to offend these tomb robbers, for otherwise, no matter how high his strength, he would not understand these trap mechanisms and secret passages!
Just as today: easy to enter, hard to leave. Even an Earth-rank expert like Old Yu did not dare be careless. So he decided that after entering the tomb, under the pretext of searching for the Qi-Gathering Pill, he would secretly slip that item into his pocket. It was not very large in volume anyway, and with the skill of an Earth-rank expert, such a thing would be as easy as turning his hand.
