Chapter 2088 — Full of Anticipation

Though it was only three bowls of egg noodles and a few delicate side dishes, everything was cooked superbly—clearly the Hidden Han Family's chef was a man of no small skill.
After finishing the noodles, Wei Zhao rested. Tomorrow was the Hidden World Clan Summit, and Wei Zhao meant to rest well and strive to win tomorrow's contest. After all, the stakes put up by the hidden clans were sure to be fine things—the kind one would be a fool to refuse. The more he could get, the better!
"Master Lin, the courtyard of these guest rooms is ruined. Shall we switch you to another room for the night's rest?" Han Tianba asked cautiously.
"No need to switch. It doesn't matter." Wei Zhao waved a hand and said, "If anything, I'm the one who should apologize for wrecking the courtyard wall!"
"Ha, Master Lin is too polite. For the sake of our Hidden Han Family refining this martial technique, never mind tearing down a courtyard—tearing down the whole house would be nothing!" Han Tianba laughed. "These are all mere worldly possessions; we'll have the disciples rebuild them later. What matters is mastering the martial technique—that is the foremost priority!"
The night passed without incident. The next day was the day of the Hidden World Clan Summit, and Han Xiaohu was waiting at Wei Zhao's door first thing in the morning.
As an Earth-Rank cultivator, Han Xiaohu naturally needed little sleep—a few hours were enough for him to recover fully. He waited at Wei Zhao's door because he feared Wei Zhao might wake and find no one about.
Wei Zhao had been cultivating in the jade pendant's space all along. Though cultivation there was not as fast as cultivating at Wang Xinyan's side, Wei Zhao let not a single second slip by, seizing every moment to cultivate.
"Xiaopo, since you're here, come in and sit. When do we set out?" Wei Zhao sensed Han Xiaohu's arrival and spoke.
"Ah, boss, you're already awake?" Hearing Wei Zhao's voice, Han Xiaohu stepped inside.
"I was cultivating," Wei Zhao said mildly.
"It seems the boss's success is no accident—cultivating so diligently, first thing in the morning!" Han Xiaohu said with admiration. "We'll set out around seven and go straight to the East Sea Hidden Zhao Family. The hosting clan this time is the East Sea Hidden Zhao Family!"
"Good. Just call me when it's time," Wei Zhao said, eyes closed.
In the blink of an eye, seven in the morning arrived, and Han Tianba came as well. Wei Zhao, sensing Han Tianba's aura, returned from his cultivation to the waking world, rose, and said, "Xiaopo, your grandfather is here. Let's set out!"
"Ah! My grandfather is already here?" Han Xiaohu was startled. He himself had not sensed his grandfather's arrival, yet Wei Zhao, sitting there with eyes closed in cultivation, could sense it. How marvelous!
In truth, the deeper Wei Zhao went into closed-eye cultivation, the farther his perception reached—such was the advantage conferred by the jade pendant and the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art.
