Chapter 1976 — Uncle Qing's Request
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"No, she doesn't. Why do you have so many questions?" Wei Zhao frowned.
"So many? Didn't the teacher say that when you meet something you don't understand, you shouldn't be ashamed to ask?" Han Jingyi said with an air of utter innocence.
"Then go ask someone else," Wei Zhao said.
"Ask someone else? Sure. Tomorrow I'll ask Teacher Bai why your girlfriend doesn't get jealous," Han Jingyi said.
"..." Wei Zhao rolled his eyes. Was this Han Jingyi simple-minded or what? He had no idea how she'd ever gotten into university; from the look of it, she must have bought her way in.
He parked the car at the villa gate and went back to his own villa without a word to Han Jingyi; she could do whatever she pleased.
Han Jingyi, for her part, did not pester Wei Zhao further, and went back to her own villa.
"Xiao Yi, you're back." Uncle Qing was in the living room packing his things, preparing to return to Songshan.
"Yes, Uncle Qing. I came back to see if there was anything I could help with," Wei Zhao said.
"There's nothing much left. Luoyue has already begun cultivating her mental cultivation method. Perhaps because she practiced it before, her meridians are already open, so this time she produced true qi with ease. It's just that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is far too scarce, and her progress is very slow... Xiao Yi, could you help?" Here Uncle Qing grew a little embarrassed. "I know it's a rather abrupt request, but you're the only one who can raise Luoyue's level quickly..."
At Uncle Qing's words, Wei Zhao gave a bitter smile. "Uncle Qing, it's not that I don't want to help. It's that the Sun family's mental cultivation method is rather special — it can only draw on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for cultivation. My true qi can't be given to her; if I did, Grandma Sun's true qi might end up like mine..."
Wei Zhao thought back to what had happened with Sun Jingyan before, and explained.
"Oh? How so?" Uncle Qing was slightly taken aback.
"It's like this..." Wei Zhao then told Uncle Qing about the conversation he had had with Sun Jingyan in her apartment.
"Hmm... but it seems to be different. Luoyue's true qi can now be converted directly into my true qi, and into mine alone. In that case, couldn't you simply channel your true qi into her?" Uncle Qing said after a moment's thought.
"That does make some sense." Wei Zhao's eyes lit up. Grandma Sun's situation was clearly not quite the same as Sun Jingyan's: Grandma Sun's true qi could no longer be assimilated by Wei Zhao, because it had already been restricted so that it could only be converted into Uncle Qing's true qi. Sun Jingyan was different — her true qi had never been used by anyone, which was why there was a risk of it being assimilated by Wei Zhao's. At this thought, Wei Zhao nodded. "In that case, it's worth a try!"
"Can we do it now?" Hearing Wei Zhao agree, Uncle Qing at once rubbed his hands together in excitement.
