Chapter 1846 — Striking Again
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Before long, that second mass of fire-poison true qi had also been driven by Wei Zhao to the very end of the meridians in his right palm, where it merged with the first, forming an even larger mass of fire-poison true qi!
What followed was merely a matter of copying the same pattern. So long as he had perseverance, he could gather every last trace of the fire-poison true qi in his body together.
Yu Liu returned to the Hidden Yu family somewhat dejected. Yu Xiaochen did not blame him, yet the loss of such a heaven-sent opportunity still left him deeply regretful.
Afterward, Yu Xiaochen went to see the Yu family's Old Ancestor once more and recounted everything that had happened.
"Regrettable as it is, you did nothing wrong." The Yu family's Old Ancestor nodded and said gravely, "If Yu Liu had truly injured him... heh heh, then our Yu family would not have escaped involvement this time either!"
"Yes!" Yu Xiaochen nodded. "But isn't it a bit of a pity to simply give up the search for Wei Zhao?"
"Giving up is a pity, of course, but with only the strength of our Hidden Yu family, finding a man in Songshan City who is deliberately hiding is difficult beyond difficult!" said the Yu family's Old Ancestor. "Especially with Qiu Lingshan and Chen Yuxuan obstructing us at every turn, it becomes even more troublesome... But Wei Zhao's enemies are not limited to our Yu family alone. There are also the Hidden Zhao family and the Hidden You family. Bring them in as well and have them hunt for Wei Zhao together, and it will naturally be much easier!"
"Then what of the Qi Gathering Pill..." Yu Xiaochen was somewhat worried that the Qi Gathering Pill would fall into someone else's hands.
"Naturally we will not tell them about the Qi Gathering Pill. And when we make our move, we can agree that all three families will send their best men after Wei Zhao at the same time. That way, the responsibility borne by each of the three parties will be somewhat lessened, and I trust they will be glad to act alongside us!" said the Yu family's Old Ancestor.
"Good. We will do as you say, Father!" Yu Xiaochen nodded.
Never mind that the You family's earlier attempt to contact the Grand Elder had come to nothing — which of these hidden families was not made up of the craftiest of men? Though the threat posed by the Grand Elder and that person ought to be gone, these people all remained in a wait-and-see posture. Only after Yu Liu had gone out for a stroll and stirred up no trouble did they grow impatient enough to want to go out and take a look for themselves.
It so happened that a message arrived from the Yu family proposing a joint search for Wei Zhao, and of course they all agreed without hesitation.
Thus, for a time, people from the Hidden You family and the Hidden Zhao family also came to Songshan City and began inquiring after news of Wei Zhao amid the vast sea of humanity.
Of course, all of this was done in secret. After all, with Qiu Lingshan serving as captain of criminal investigation, any ostentatious move on their part would certainly bring word to her; and if Qiu Lingshan was in contact with Wei Zhao, she would warn him and the others at the first opportunity, putting them further on their guard — which would make tracking Wei Zhao down even harder.
These were hard days, and Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu toiled each day, yet were happy.
Though every day left them aching from head to toe, they never tired of it. Often, upon discovering an old cell phone or an old home appliance, they would leap for joy, strength flooding through them as they set off toward the next target, with the cries of the Heavenly Thunder Pig spurring them on.
Yet despite the hardship and exhaustion, each day they not only set aside Wei Zhao's medical fees but also found money for Gu Pengzhan's treatment. Nearly every two or three days, Gu Mengyao would wire ten or twenty thousand yuan to Uncle Qing.
