Chapter 1639 — Yu Ning Writes a Letter
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
When Yu Xiaochen spoke, he used the speakerphone, so no explanation was needed this time—everyone in the meeting room had heard it all.
The second son of the Yu family wore a grim expression, but Yu Shan's face was even uglier. He had never expected Zhao Qilei to turn his back on him; after all, the two of them had been allies before! Yet thinking it over, Zhao Qilei's words were quite objective—at this moment, given his position, he could not possibly lie for him. The risk would be far too great!
"Alright, the matter is now clear. Yu Shan was outmatched and crippled—let it rest! If our Yu family stirs up more trouble, it will seem we don't understand the rules. Seeking revenge on Wei Zhao at this point would be slapping the Ice Palace in the face," the Old Ancestor of the Yu family said calmly. "The rules were set by them; if you disagree, you may simply not participate! Even if we are to take revenge on Wei Zhao, the ancient sect Tomorrow After Tomorrow Sect will be the one to step forward. We have no need to be the first to stick our neck out."
"Yes!" Yu Xiaochen nodded quickly. As long as the blame was lifted from Yu Bing, he didn't care about anything else. "Then should we still investigate Wei Zhao?"
"That still needs to be investigated!" the Old Ancestor said. "We cannot act now, but the grudge is duly noted. We'll deal with it when the opportunity arises."
Although the Old Ancestor knew his grandson had lied, the boy had still been beaten and injured. If they did not seek revenge, the Yu family would appear weak, so certain words had to be said.
"Yes!" Yu Xiaochen nodded hurriedly.
The contents of the Yu family meeting was hardly a secret and quickly reached Yu Ning's ears. When she heard that Yu Shan had been injured by Wei Zhao and that the family planned to investigate him, her heart was filled with anxiety, yet she had no one to confer with.
In the past, when Yu Bing was at home, Yu Ning could discuss her worries with him, but now that he was gone, she had no one to talk to. Apart from Yu Shan, there was no one in the family with whom Yu Ning could open her heart.
Even her father and grandfather, though they doted on her, did not approve of her romance. If she begged them not to move against Wei Zhao, they would probably act all the more quickly...
In desperation, Yu Ning thought of writing a letter to her eldest brother Yu Bing, seeking his help. But she had no contact information for the Ice Palace, so she could only write to the address on the Ice Palace invitation where one was to report, and mailed it off, more in hope than expectation...
However, Yu Ning's approach happened to be exactly right! If it had been anyone else, the letter would likely have been intercepted by the Ice Palace and sunk without a trace. But both Yu Bing and Zhao Qiwu were people Feng Xiaoxiao had instructed others to look after, so any mail addressed to the two of them would be sent directly to Feng Xiaoxiao without delay.
...
Wei Zhao hung up on Zhao Qilei's call and ceased the condensation of the energy orb. These past days, he had been continuously condensing energy orbs without even leaving the house, so he decided to go out for a stroll and stretch his limbs.
The moment he left the room, he was surprised to see Tang Zhi sitting in the living room watching television. Wei Zhao couldn't help but pause in surprise.
Earlier, absorbed in condensing the energy orb, Wei Zhao had paid no attention to what was happening in the living room. Seeing Tang Zhi now, he was a bit taken aback. "Yunyun, why are you here?"
"It's nothing... Wei Zhao, have you recovered your strength?" Tang Zhi felt some aversion to the matter her mother had raised, so she was in no hurry to mention it, asking instead about his power.
"Not yet, but it doesn't matter. I have confidence." To keep Tang Zhi and the young lady from worrying, Wei Zhao deliberately shrugged and said dismissively.
