Chapter 1832 — A Lucky Hit
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"..." An Liwen left Gu Mengyao's home in a foul mood, somewhat helpless. Nothing good ever came of running into Shen Yushu; that little girl always managed to find him some trouble. What a damn mess!
Gu Mengyao could not help but smile at Xiaoshu's tactics, but she made no move to stop her. One was willing to strike and the other to take the blow; in Xiaoshu's hands, everyone except Wei Zhao got plucked clean as a goose in flight. An Liwen had brought this on himself.
"Xiaoshu, do you think Daddy's business really has nothing to do with An Liwen?" Gu Mengyao looked at the evidence on her phone and spoke with a hint of helplessness.
"Who knows? This stuff is unreliable, and not a single word out of his mouth is true!" Shen Yushu had a very poor opinion of An Liwen.
"But there is evidence!" Gu Mengyao said.
"That there is... but as for the truth, we can only wait until Uncle Chu wakes up," Shen Yushu said.
The hidden Yu family.
Yu Bing's family letter had arrived. Any other disciple of the Ice Palace naturally could not enjoy such treatment, but Yu Bing was permitted to write home once a month, and could even have the Yu family's letters delivered into his hands through the Ice Palace!
Other outer disciples had to wait at least a year after entering the sect before they earned the privilege of writing letters to their families, but because Yu Bing had the favor of the Ice Palace's future palace master, he not only received more cultivation elixirs than the other outer disciples, but also enjoyed more privileges within the Ice Palace than any of them!
Even so, no other outer disciple dared to object. Who could compete with a man on familiar terms with the Ice Palace's future palace master?
This time, however, Yu Xiaochen's letter gave Yu Bing quite a fright!
In the letter, Yu Xiaochen demanded to know why Yu Bing had concealed the fact that Wei Zhao had also taken part in the tomb robbery, and why he had said nothing about the Qi Gathering Pill obtained there!
When Yu Bing read the letter, he assumed his father knew everything, and hurriedly wrote back to explain. He admitted that he knew Wei Zhao had indeed joined the tomb robbery and that the man held a Qi Gathering Pill, but that loyalty and filial piety could not both be satisfied—he could not betray a friend, and so he had concealed it...
In truth, Yu Bing's explanation was itself a misunderstanding; he had assumed his father knew everything. How could he have known that this was entirely the result of Yu Xiaochen's lucky hit?
Yu Xiaochen did not know the truth of the matter either. He had only heard Yu Huoxing's one-sided account, and so had written Yu Bing this vaguely worded letter of interrogation. Fearing he would give himself away, he had naturally not said too much, only questioning Yu Bing in general terms—but Yu Bing had a guilty conscience, and so the above result came about!
If Yu Huoxing knew of this misunderstanding, he would probably be grinning from ear to ear. A single casual lie he had invented to frame Wei Zhao had actually been confirmed from Yu Bing's own mouth. Heaven itself was helping him! (To be continued)
