"Oh, then go on in. Bai Lingtou is about to take his nap; he may not have time to receive you," Wei Zhao said.
"Then... I will not go for now. Another day, perhaps." You Panhu reckoned that Bai Lingtou, having just passed some good things to Wei Zhao today, would surely have no mind to grant him any favors; better to come back another time.
And besides, he was eager to know just what it was that Wei Zhao held in his hands.
"Suit yourself." Wei Zhao sneered, but could not be bothered to call him out further.
"By the way, Wei Zhao, what is that you have in your hands? Did Bai Lingtou give it to you?" You Panhu pointed at the documents in Wei Zhao's hands and asked, genuinely curious.
"What are you up to?" Wei Zhao suddenly drew his hand back, putting the documents behind him, and eyed You Panhu warily.
"Ha, Student Lin, what is this? A bit too tense, aren't we? I was only asking casually — is there any need for that?" Seeing Wei Zhao's reaction, You Panhu grew all the more certain that what Wei Zhao held was some excellent material Bai Lingtou had passed to him, and he said, "Could it be some precious treasure?"
"It is only some documents Bai Lingtou gave me. Nothing precious," Wei Zhao said mildly.
"Oh? Well, since it is nothing precious, why not let me have a look?" You Panhu asked.
"Haha, how could that be? Bai Lingtou's prestige is exceedingly high, and his ability likewise... tsk tsk. So to be granted a glimpse of the materials Bai Lingtou has given — that is the greatest of honors!" This was no flattery on You Panhu's part; he spoke in complete sincerity.
If he had not truly wished to learn from Bai Lingtou, why would he have sat the entrance exam for the pharmaceutical major in the biology department of East Sea Engineering University, and become an ordinary student? How much better it would have been to spend his time refining pills, or simply eating, drinking, and making merry.
"Oh, that still will not do." Wei Zhao spoke with finality. "I say no, so no."
"Uh... not even a little room for discussion?" You Panhu asked, unwilling to give up.
"Do you take me for a fool? Why on earth would I show you? Are we on such good terms? You not only insulted Wang Xinyan, you also tried to kill me at the bowling alley — and you think I would show you?" Wei Zhao looked at You Panhu as though at an idiot. "Save your breath."
"Hey, Wei Zhao, since you have torn off all pretense — do you think the You family has no one left? Even if you are a top expert at the peak of the late Earth Rank, able to kill three Earth Rank fighters in an instant, what of it? You are still no Heaven Rank expert..." Hearing Wei Zhao turn hostile, and finding his own soft approach useless, You Panhu resorted to open threats.
"Well now, you even dare to rob Bai Lingtou of his things? Your You family is truly remarkable!" Wei Zhao curled his lip. "In that case, why not just call a Heaven Rank expert to go rob Bai Lingtou directly... oh, that is right — Bai Lingtou is not a cultivator at present. Any yellow-haired or purple-haired fellow at your side could handle him; you do not even need a Heaven Rank expert!"
"That..." The corner of You Panhu's mouth twitched twice before he realized just who had given Wei Zhao the things in his hands!
Rob Bai Lingtou of his belongings — that, You Panhu did not dare!
