Weizhao nodded and asked, "When is this Grand Family Assembly of yours?" The matter of the Grand Family Assembly had come up more than once from Guan Xuewen and Fatty Lai. Rumor had it that the Kang family was angling for the chance to be elevated to the ranks of the great families. What Weizhao had in mind, however, was to go to that assembly and make trouble for the Yu family!
"The invitations have already gone out, and preparations are under way now. It should be this month or next, two months at the very latest," Qiu Lingshan said. "Every time, from the first preparations to the assembly itself, it never runs past two months."
"Good, then there should be time enough. I'll go search for the Fire Spirit Sacred Fruit, and look for a chance to break through while I'm at it." Weizhao pondered a moment, then said, "Once I break through to the Earth Rank, I can raise both you and Brother Yutian to the Earth Rank as well. And as for that Grand Family Assembly — I'll turn it into the Yu family's memorial service!"
Weizhao was currently only at the peak of the mid Profound Rank. Against Yu Feng he was more than a match, but against Yu Shuixing he still had no certainty of victory; after all, Yu Shuixing was an expert at the peak of the late Profound Rank, and it was said that Yu Shuixing's own elder brother was an early Earth Rank expert besides.
Though he had now entered the hidden Yu family to train, when the Yu family met with calamity he could not simply refuse to stand up for them. So if Weizhao wanted the certainty of victory, there was only one way: to raise his own strength.
He simply did not know what standing that Elder Yu he had met in the ancient tomb held within the hidden Yu family, or whether the old man was even acquainted with Yu Shuixing's elder brother.
But it made no difference. Even if that Elder Yu threw in his lot with them, Weizhao had no fear of him. Back when he was only at the Profound Rank he had frightened the old man into flight; if he were to reach the Earth Rank, Elder Yu would most likely turn tail and run at the mere sight of him.
Hearing this, Qiu Lingshan's jaw dropped in astonishment. From the sound of it, Weizhao meant to kick up a storm at the Grand Family Assembly? Yet this news was nothing compared with what had come before — Weizhao was going to raise both her and Chen Yuxuan to Earth Rank experts?
Qiu Lingshan wondered whether she had slipped into a daydream. In the blink of an eye, the Earth Rank was no longer a dream? It was within reach? There had been a time when, in her fondest imaginings, becoming an expert at the peak of the late Yellow Rank had seemed a longing she could never attain — and now...
And all of it was because of Weizhao! Had she never met him, she would still be the same novice Yellow Rank expert she once was, wouldn't she? Thinking back to how the two of them had first met, Qiu Lingshan could not help blushing — and afterward people had even misunderstood, thinking she was helping Weizhao with that...
Still, if time could flow backwards, Qiu Lingshan thought she might well have cheerfully "admitted" it back then — so what if she had? If Weizhao had asked her, she rather thought she would have agreed!
At these thoughts, a strange and stirring charm flickered through Qiu Lingshan's lovely eyes. She bit lightly at her red lips, gazing at Weizhao with tender feeling, her cheeks flushing a vivid crimson. "Weizhao... you're so good to me..."
"Are you in heat?" Weizhao was startled. He had no idea what had come over the Qiu Lingshan beside him; she seemed a little... amorous? They were discussing serious business here — how had it turned into this all of a sudden?
