"Arrow Brand Bro, where did they go?" Shen Yushu blinked.
"Turned to ash..." Wei Zhao pointed at the ground, at the fine particles the wind had not yet scattered.
"Holy crap, Arrow Brand Bro, you're too awesome—you can actually unleash a fire-element ultimate skill!" Shen Yushu exclaimed. "Heh..." Wei Zhao smiled wryly. Only he knew that a move like this could be used just once—was he supposed to suffer qi deviation again and expel that much fire-poison true qi a second time?
This time it had been pure coincidence, and he had been lucky the three Earth-rank experts were standing together and let him hit them all at once. Otherwise, even if Wei Zhao had managed to burn two of them by some fluke, dealing with the third would have been harder than hard.
Granny Sun stared at Wei Zhao somewhat blankly, rubbed her eyes, then furrowed her brow, as if something had come to mind, yet it was not quite clear...
"Granny, let's go back..." Gu Mengyao glanced around. It was evening now, and no one else had passed through the alley, which set her mind at ease. Wei Zhao's move just now had taken only an instant—otherwise, those three Earth-rank experts would never have been given even the chance to flee.
"Ah... oh..." Only when Gu Mengyao called out did Granny Sun come back to herself, and she hurried back into the courtyard with Gu Mengyao.
Shen Yushu quickly locked the courtyard gate as well. She was thinking about how to explain the earlier events to Granny Sun in a way that would persuade her to keep the secret and not let it slip out.
Looking at Wei Zhao standing before her, whole and unharmed, Gu Mengyao felt as though she were dreaming. Was it over? Was everything truly over?
"Arrow Brand Bro, you're really awake? That's wonderful—no more picking through trash from now on!" Shen Yushu looked at Wei Zhao and shrieked with excitement. "You always wake up at the critical moment and then slaughter everyone in sight—so awesome!"
"Heh, it wasn't exactly the critical moment—actually, I woke up a while ago..." Wei Zhao said with a smile, but no sooner had the words left his mouth than he sensed something was off...
Sure enough, Gu Mengyao's face darkened. "A while ago?"
"Uh... I didn't see you take off your clothes..." Wei Zhao said.
"Mm-hmm?" Gu Mengyao's face darkened further...
"You'd taken half of them off—not all the way—when those three things at the gate interrupted you, so you put them back on..." Wei Zhao had let his tongue slip and could only scramble for a way to salvage it.
"Oh, I get it now—that's why Arrow Brand Bro was so furious and burned all three of those things to death!" Shen Yushu nodded.
"Exactly." Wei Zhao nodded.
"Wei Zhao!" Gu Mengyao swung her fist and hurled it at him. "I'm not done with you!"
"Uh..." Wei Zhao smiled bitterly. He had only just woken up and his thoughts were still a bit sluggish; then Shen Yushu's leading had coaxed the truth out of him, and he regretted it deeply.
"All right, Sister Yaoyao, you're Arrow Brand Bro's first wife anyway!" Shen Yushu said, winking at Gu Mengyao, then turned to Wei Zhao. "Arrow Brand Bro, have you forgotten the things from before? Let me remind you—Sister Yaoyao is your first wife, and I'm your little wife!"
"?" Wei Zhao looked at Shen Yushu rather oddly.
