Chapter 1485 — Rumors: "Don't Let Zhang Naipao Know About This for Now, We'll Surprise Him Later," Wei Zhao Said.

"Of course!" Yu Bing nodded hastily. "You really scared me to death. Yesterday I thought you were only comforting me, and only today do I know that everything you said was true!"
"More or less. How about going out for a bite and picking up some news along the way?" Wei Zhao wanted to pry a little more about Feng Nitian so he could prepare for the trial, though that fellow's cultivation method was far too uncanny.
"Looking like this... won't I just make myself a laughingstock if I go out?" Yu Bing pointed at his swollen cheeks and shook his head with a bitter smile.
Wei Zhao set the Xuanyuan Dragon-Controlling Art in motion, reached out and brushed his hand over Yu Bing's face, then said, "There, we can go now, can't we?"
"Healed?" Yu Bing froze, about to retort that this had to be a joke, when in the next instant he realized his face no longer hurt at all! He touched it instinctively and discovered to his astonishment that both cheeks had returned to normal, without the slightest trace of swelling!
"Healed!" Wei Zhao nodded with certainty.
"I'm going mad!" Yu Bing stared at Wei Zhao, his eyes all but glowing green. "You actually possess healing-type true energy? How is that possible? Isn't that something only people of the Sun family can do? Do you have some connection with the Sun family?"
"A connection? Not that I know of... If you insist on one, Sun Jingyan of the Sun family is half my lover..." Wei Zhao said.
"Half a lover?" Yu Bing was taken aback, though he did not press further. Inwardly he was puzzled all the same. Why could Wei Zhao accept Sun Jingyan and accept other women, yet never accept Xiao Ning? Was it really because of resistance from his own family?
"It's fake." Wei Zhao smiled. "In name only. Come on, let's go out and get something to eat."
"All right..." Yu Bing drew a deep breath. In these two days, meeting one ruthless powerhouse after another in quick succession had left his heart barely able to bear it, as if it would explode! Yesterday's Zhang Naipao and today's Feng Nitian were both, in Yu Bing's eyes, figures he could only crane his neck to look up at, yet right before him stood an even more formidable powerhouse he had nearly overlooked!
Only at this moment did Yu Bing sigh at how sharp his little sister's eye was, and how foolish his father was. A man like Wei Zhao was someone you could not win over even if you searched with a lantern in hand, yet his father and grandfather looked down on him!
After all, everyone knew how coveted an accomplished cultivator of the secular Sun family was. Not only did the aristocratic families of the secular world flock to them, even hidden families and sects wished to marry into them. Once an ancient sect had even formed a marriage alliance with the Sun family, valuing nothing but the Sun family's power to heal injuries and transmit true energy. But Wei Zhao could heal injuries too?
Yet was Wei Zhao's healing art like the Sun family's, effective only on one person?
Thinking of this, Yu Bing could not help asking, "Wei Zhao, can your healing method be used on other people as well?"
"Yes, it works on animals too." Wei Zhao nodded.
"It works on animals too..." Yu Bing sucked in a cold breath, a sudden flash of hope crossing his eyes, and he said hurriedly, "Then what about an ancient spirit beast? Would it have any effect?"
"It should..." Wei Zhao nodded, looking at Yu Bing in puzzlement. "Why do you ask?"
"When Xiao Ning was little, she rescued an injured ancient spirit beast and has kept it in the Yu family ever since. Many physicians and alchemists have examined it, but none could cure it. Fortunately an ancient spirit beast has remarkably tenacious vitality, and so long as the true energy within its body is not exhausted, it can cling to life. All these years my little sister has been looking after it..." Yu Bing explained. "She has always hoped to find a doctor who could heal that ancient spirit beast. Could you help?"
