Chapter 1426 — Two Choices — And Here, Having Someone Like Wu Chengtian Serve as a Bodyguard Was Not Bad Either, So Wei Zhao Took Wu Chengtian In

Hearing Wei Zhao's words, Wu Chengtian's face at once broke into a look of relief: "Thank you, Old Leader!"
"But when it comes to external martial skill, there is nothing I can teach you. I have no particular insights into cultivating it either." Wei Zhao waved a hand. "That said, I can brew a few special medicinal liquids that remold the body. Soak your hands in them, and I expect they will get twice the result with half the effort when it comes to cultivating your Iron Hand!"
Wei Zhao himself had, in fact, cultivated both the internal and the external arts, though he had trained in the external side comparatively little and had no mental method for it. He had merely used some of the old man's medicinal liquids to remold the muscles and bones of his body, and that too was one of the reasons Wei Zhao stood above ordinary cultivators.
"Wonderful, thank you, Old Leader!" Wu Chengtian said excitedly. He had assumed Wei Zhao would put him through some lengthy trial before truly granting him any benefits, yet he had never expected Wei Zhao to hand him a welcome gift outright!
In truth, Wei Zhao had meant to test Wu Chengtian as well, but time no longer permitted it. Wei Zhao wanted to set out in search of the Fire Spirit Sacred Fruit as soon as he could; the time he had left in Songshan City was naturally short, and once he had settled matters here he would have to set off on a new journey at once!
So, since Er Goudan had already tested Wu Chengtian, Wei Zhao had no need to test him all over again. At the very least, Wei Zhao had seen sincerity in Wu Chengtian's eyes.
"No need for thanks. Just don't be so foolishly muddled from now on and let people cheat you." Wei Zhao glanced at Wu Chengtian. "You were cheated by Feng Xiaoxiao that many times and I let it go at that. But from now on, be a little smarter in dealing with people, and stop going around putting on airs."
"Uh... Feng Xiaoxiao, well, that was Eldest Sister-in-law cheating me, and we're all family now, so it doesn't really count as cheating." Wu Chengtian defended himself a little awkwardly. "But don't worry, Old Leader, I'll be careful from now on!"
Wei Zhao nodded and said nothing more on that matter. Instead he asked, "Zhao Fafa brought someone named Zhu to make trouble for Tang Zhi? Can it be that Zhao Qibing is tired of living?"
"Afterwards Miss Gu and I talked it over. It must be that Uncle Zhu didn't know Tang Zhi was your girlfriend, Old Leader, and Zhao Fafa didn't tell the truth either, so that's why they went to make trouble for Elder Sister-in-law Tang Zhi..." Wu Chengtian explained.
"Old Leader... that title is a bit of a tongue-twister as well. From now on, call me Leader Wei Zhao, so it can be kept separate from what you call Zhou Qiming," Wei Zhao corrected him.
"Fine, Leader Wei Zhao it is!" Wu Chengtian said readily. Whatever Wei Zhao liked, he would naturally call him that.
"You didn't know? Knowing or not, we can't let it go at that. But you're the one who got hurt, so as for how you want to deal with Zhao Qibing, I'll respect your wish." Wei Zhao looked up at Wu Chengtian. "Do you want some benefits, or do you want to trample him back yourself when you're able to?"
Wu Chengtian was not Tang Zhi; Wei Zhao could not make the decision for him. Though he was Wei Zhao's underling, compared with a woman there was still a difference.
"Can I? Leader Wei Zhao! Can I trample him back myself?" Hearing Wei Zhao's words, Wu Chengtian's eyes shot out blazing light. "Forget the benefits. I want to trample him back myself!"
"Good, I'll let you trample him back yourself!" Wei Zhao mused, and decided to raise Wu Chengtian's strength. Once he himself left, and Er Goudan left too, Uncle Qing would be here all alone, and Wei Zhao would not feel at ease. The people he could use at present were only Wu Chengtian.
