Chapter 1408 — Scared Off
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
And now he had gone and stirred her up again? As for Wu Chengtian being wounded, that was nothing much — so long as the man didn't die, Wei Zhao likely would not press it too far. But he himself had come to harass Tang Zhi again, and with Wei Zhao being the sort who shielded his own so fiercely — Mother of God! Uncle Zhu dared not imagine further.
"What? Scared?" Wu Chengtian was no fool either. Seeing the shifting, uncertain look on Uncle Zhu's face, he guessed that the man had scruples about Wei Zhao and Ergoudan. He did not know why, but this was a good thing!
"A misunderstanding... I gave offense before this..." There was no help for it; Uncle Zhu had to get the formalities straight. Otherwise, if because of this business he truly drew that deadly star Wei Zhao to his door, would it not be bringing trouble on Young Master Bing? And with his own strength so wanting, he had no means at all of dealing with Wei Zhao; so at this moment he could only bow his head.
Now it was Wu Chengtian's turn to be dumbfounded. He had not expected the names of Ergoudan and Wei Zhao to be so useful — the moment he spoke them, this Uncle Zhu was frightened half to death and it straightaway became a "misunderstanding." Yet what puzzled Wu Chengtian was this: could it be that the old man hadn't known Tang Zhi was Wei Zhao's girlfriend?
Why did he look as though he knew nothing about it at all?
"Hmph. If you knew that Sister-in-law Tang Zhi is the girlfriend of old boss Wei Zhao, and you still dared to come? You truly aren't afraid of death!" Wu Chengtian said with a cold snort.
"I was not aware of this before. This was indeed rash of me, and I am sorry for it. I shall take my leave now!" With that, Uncle Zhu did not dare linger, and turned to go.
Zhao Fafa, however, grew anxious. He did not understand — why had such a promising situation suddenly been abandoned? Weren't they going to finish Wu Chengtian off and then let Wei Zhao come and meet his death? How had it turned into a misunderstanding and an apology? What on earth was going on?
"Uncle Zhu, Uncle Zhu, don't go! Why are you leaving?" Zhao Fafa was frantic, and hurried off after Uncle Zhu. But Uncle Zhu did not even turn his head, and helpless, Zhao Fafa could only run along after him. If Uncle Zhu were gone, how could he possibly stand against Wu Chengtian? He'd be beaten to death!
Wu Chengtian had meant to teach Zhao Fafa a lesson, but he had no strength left even to climb up off the ground; every bone in him felt scattered apart. Seeing Uncle Zhu leave, his heart eased, and he coughed up another mouthful of blood and passed out cold.
"You... how are you? Do you need me to call an ambulance?" Seeing Wu Chengtian collapse, Tang Zhi grew anxious, yet she did not know what to do. She had no idea whether other cultivators went to the hospital after being injured, but Wei Zhao didn't, so Tang Zhi wasn't sure whether Wu Chengtian needed to or not.
But Wu Chengtian had already fainted, and could not answer her.
"This... what on earth is going on?" Mother Tang had been frightened out of her wits before; only now, after Uncle Zhu and the others had gone, did she come back to herself, and she asked, trembling, "Yun'er, who did you offend? What does that young gentleman do?"
