Chapter 1660 — Crossing Paths Again on a Narrow Road
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Feng Xiaoxiao was a born little glutton, forever eager to sample this and that. The moment she heard that Wei Zhao was going to take her out for something delicious, she was delighted.
"What do you feel like eating?" Wei Zhao asked, taking Feng Xiaoxiao by the hand.
"I don't know. Why don't we walk around and see what we find?" Feng Xiaoxiao replied after a moment's thought.
The three of them set off down the street. Though it was only a small town, the presence of the Hidden Tang Family had evidently brought it considerable prosperity. Many restaurants were still open for business at night, and there was no shortage of entertainment venues and commercial establishments either.
Tang Zhi walked on Feng Xiaoxiao's other side, letting Feng Xiaoxiao hold Wei Zhao's hand while she held Feng Xiaoxiao's.
Though the two women were, in name, Wei Zhao's senior and junior wives, it would have been rather too conspicuous for him to walk about holding both their hands in public. So Tang Zhi willingly yielded the opportunity to Feng Xiaoxiao.
After the Hidden Tang Family's Old Master Tang celebrated his birthday this time, Feng Xiaoxiao would return to the Ice Palace and continue cultivating. She would not have many chances to be with Wei Zhao, whereas Tang Zhi knew that she and Wei Zhao had a long future ahead of them. Naturally, she would not quibble over something like this.
"How about that restaurant?" Feng Xiaoxiao pointed toward a restaurant not far away. "It looks like they serve local-style barbecue. It seems pretty good!"
"Then let's go there." Wei Zhao did not care what they ate; as long as Feng Xiaoxiao was happy, that was all that mattered. Tang Zhi felt the same way.
The three of them headed toward the restaurant. As fate would have it, another group of people not far away was making its way toward the very same place.
"Young Master You, those two chicks are pretty hot!" Among them, a somewhat lecherous-looking young man with blue hair said to a bald youth.
"Oh? Really? Are you sure?" Young Master You looked surprised. Blue Hair was an old hand when it came to wine, women, and song, and he had seen countless women in his time. If he said a woman was worth looking at, then she certainly was. Young Master You hurriedly asked, "Where?"
"Over there..." Blue Hair pointed toward the distance.
"Holy crap!" Young Master You's eyes widened as he looked at the three people Blue Hair had indicated. Red flames seemed to burst from his gaze. "Take a good look. Do you know who that is?"
"Isn't that the bastard Wei Zhao?" Yellow Hair was the first to react. "Young Master You, we don't have to fear him today. Blue Hair is an expert at the peak of the Earth Rank. We can kill the bastard!"
"It wouldn't be very wise to cause trouble on my uncle-in-law's territory..." Young Master You hesitated. He had come to attend Old Master Tang's birthday celebration. If he caused some kind of incident here, his elder uncle, the head of the family, certainly would not let him off easily. Besides, there was a distinguished guest present. If this affair put that guest in a bad mood, Young Master You would become a sinner in everyone's eyes...
And yet, Young Master You was unwilling to simply let Wei Zhao go. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Ordinarily, Earth Rank experts from the Hidden Families were not permitted to interfere freely in conflicts within the secular world. But this time, since he had come to the Hidden You Family to offer birthday felicitations, Young Master You had brought along an Earth Rank follower.
Though Young Master You was only the second young master, he did possess a certain talent for alchemy. He could refine a few low-quality first-grade Yellow Rank pills, and as a result, several subordinates had gathered around him.
