Chapter 1455 — Wrong Person: Lately Wu Chengtian had stopped pestering Sun Jingyan. At first Sun Jingyan was rather pleased, but as the days wore on she discovered that she had heard nothing of Wei Zhao for a very long time.

"???" Sun Jingyan was utterly baffled by his words. "Go to Wu Chengtian? I can't get away from him fast enough, so why would I go to him of my own accord? You're not joking, are you?"
"Hasn't he stopped bothering you lately? I've taken him on as my underling. He says you're his sister-in-law, so naturally he won't pester you anymore." Wei Zhao said with a smile.
"What? Wu Chengtian became your underling?" Sun Jingyan could make no sense of it at all. How could a thing as proud and arrogant as Wu Chengtian possibly become Wei Zhao's underling? True, Wei Zhao was formidable and uncanny at times, but that hardly meant Wu Chengtian would bow to him as his leader.
"Do you want to say a couple of words to him? He's right here beside me." Wei Zhao asked when he heard her astonishment.
"Then... put him on?" Sun Jingyan still half doubted whether any of this was real. How was Wei Zhao capable of such things? Making the heir of the Wu Aristocratic Family his underling was almost too fantastic to believe.
"Your phone." Wei Zhao handed it to Wu Chengtian, who stood to one side, eager to jump in.
"Sister-in-law Jingyi, it's me. What I did before, pestering you—it was truly out of line. I'm sorry!" Wu Chengtian had long wanted to apologize to Sun Jingyan but had never had the chance. And now, especially, having leapt straight from his injuries to becoming an early Profound Tier expert, he worshipped Wei Zhao beyond measure. In his eyes, his leader Wei Zhao was a supreme existence without equal, so toward Wei Zhao's woman he dared show not the slightest disrespect.
"Wu Chengtian, is something wrong with you?" That "sister-in-law Jingyi" made Sun Jingyan go red in the face, and she spat, "Don't call me that!"
"Nothing's wrong with me... ah, no, I mean, something is wrong with me, I'm in a very bad way right now, I got beaten up and I'm bedridden..." Wu Chengtian suddenly remembered that Wei Zhao had ordered him to keep it secret, that he must not announce the matter of his recovery, so he hastily changed his tune.
"What on earth are you talking about?" Sun Jingyan could make neither head nor tail of it.
"All right, let me talk." Wei Zhao took back the phone with a sigh and said to Sun Jingyan, "Don't spread the news about Wu Chengtian recovering from his injuries. He's a master of both inner and outer cultivation at the Profound Tier now. After I leave, if you run into trouble, you can get in touch with him for help!"
"Recovering from injuries? When was he injured?" Sun Jingyan was startled. "He's a master of both inner and outer cultivation at the Profound Tier? Really?"
Sun Jingyan pinched her own leg. Surely she wasn't dreaming this phone call? Why did everything feel so unreal?
"You didn't know?" Wei Zhao was surprised. By rights Sun Jingyan was of the Sun family, and word of Wu Chengtian's injury had spread through the Aristocratic Families. "You haven't heard anything in the Sun family?"
