Chapter 1863 — Qing Bo's Sorrow
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Xiao Shu, it was only a moment's work—and yet you can describe it in such vivid detail?" Wei Zhao walked into the sickroom with a smile. He had heard Xiao Shu recounting the incident from the doorway and was secretly astonished. At the time he had been thinking of nothing at all, yet through Xiao Shu's account he learned just what a domineering force the fire-poison true qi could unleash.
At the same time, Wei Zhao inwardly lamented that the fire-poison true qi could be used only once. If it could be used repeatedly, it would be perfect! But he knew this was mere fantasy—to pay the price of qi deviation was simply too heavy a cost.
"Boss!" Chen Yuxuan, Wu Chengtian, Lai Pangzi, and Kang ** rose to their feet together and came forward to greet him. Though they had long known that Wei Zhao was safe and sound, only now, seeing him with their own eyes, did they truly set their hearts at ease.
"Ha ha, so you're all here!" Wei Zhao nodded to them.
"Boss, about my grandfather... he didn't bring the money over earlier..." Wu Chengtian looked at Wei Zhao apologetically, speaking with some embarrassment.
"Same with my family... you know what my grandfather is like..." Sun Jingyan said, also somewhat embarrassed.
"Boss... I... with such a huge thing happening at home, and me out playing with Xiaofen, I really..." Kang **'s face was flushed red.
"It's nothing—you are you, and your families are your families! As for Kang **, it's finally summer vacation; going out to play is only natural. Didn't I go off too?" Wei Zhao waved his hand. As for Wu Chengtian and Sun Jingyan, there was no way he could make the Wu and Sun families as friendly to him as they were, so he had no intention of blaming them at all. And as for Kang **, Wei Zhao had even less to complain about—hadn't he himself taken... taken... taken Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu out to play?
At this thought, Wei Zhao was suddenly puzzled. He remembered that those who had gone to West Star Mountain Village together were more than three people—so why could he recall only three? That's right, there were also the mighty general and the thunder pig... but... something still seemed not quite right?
Wei Zhao shook his head. He had just awakened from the jade pendant's space; perhaps his thoughts were still a little muddled.
Only now did Qing Bo notice Sun Jingyan. Of course, he had seen her before, but he had not looked at her so carefully.
Hearing Sun Jingyan speak, he could not help studying her a few more times and found her face very familiar. He could not help recalling his wife from those years ago, and his heart grew bleak. Sun Jingyan gave Qing Bo a natural, instinctive sense of closeness!
This was his wife's junior... Qing Bo's eyes grew moist. Had he not been mindful that his own origins and background must not be divulged, he would even have had the urge to reveal himself to Sun Jingyan! He himself was her uncle by marriage!
They say a niece takes after her aunt. Looking at Sun Jingyan, Qing Bo seemed to see his wife as she had been. He forcibly restrained the impulse, turned his head away, and did not look at Sun Jingyan again, sighing faintly in his heart. Perhaps one day he might avenge that sea of blood!
**, his wife, his daughter—all gone without a trace, and the sect's great treasure as well, all swallowed up by those people!
In the past, the thought of revenge had never burned so fiercely. But seeing Sun Jingyan today, thinking of his wife whose whereabouts were unknown, and witnessing Wei Zhao's power in annihilating three Earth-rank experts with a single move, Qing Bo felt his blood boil!
Wei Zhao was only at the early Earth rank, and already he could destroy Earth-rank experts. Then what if Wei Zhao reached the Heaven rank? Could he not then annihilate several Heaven-rank experts within a single move?
