Chapter 2194 — Xiaoshu's Suspicion
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Yao Yao, what do you think Chewing Gum Bro and Silly Jingjing are doing in there?" Shen Yushu asked, eyeing Wei Zhao's door with a sneaky look, itching to barge in.
"Discussing serious business, probably," Gu Mengyao said flatly.
"Hey, you think they could be testing out those condoms from yesterday?" Shen Yushu asked.
"Xiaoshu, I've noticed your mind is getting more and more twisted," Gu Mengyao said. "Who'd you learn that from?"
"From you, Yao Yao," Shen Yushu said.
"Are you asking for a beating?" Gu Mengyao was furious.
"They say you take on the color of what you're near—red ink makes you red, black ink makes you black—and I'm with Yao Yao every single day!" Shen Yushu said.
"Then how come I haven't turned as silly as you?" Gu Mengyao shot back.
"Xiaoshu isn't silly at all!" Shen Yushu said.
Just as Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu were bickering, Wei Zhao's door finally swung open. Han Jingyi was beaded with fine sweat, her face radiant, while Wei Zhao looked utterly unruffled. It was precisely these expressions that made Shen Yushu even more suspicious.
"Chewing Gum Bro, what were you and Han Jingyi just doing?" Shen Yushu asked.
"Breaking through," Wei Zhao said.
"Ah! You broke through that barrier between you?" Shen Yushu's jaw dropped in astonishment—she hadn't expected to have guessed right.
"What barrier?" Wei Zhao was baffled. "Han Jingyi broke through to early Earth-rank."
"Ah... oh... nothing." Shen Yushu shut her mouth.
"Come eat breakfast—we saved you some!" Gu Mengyao shot Shen Yushu a glare. This girl was always stirring up trouble for no reason.
After breakfast, the four of them drove to school. In the car, Wei Zhao called Zhao Qilei, but the voice on the other end said the phone was switched off. Wei Zhao's heart sank. Thinking of Zhao Qibing's expression the night before, and of Zhao Qilei's failure to appear at the Hidden Family Summit, he was seized by a bad feeling. Surely nothing had happened to his junior brother?
But within the Hidden Zhao family, the only ones on good terms with Wei Zhao were Zhao Qilei and Zhao Qiwu. If Wei Zhao went asking anyone else, it would undoubtedly expose his ties to them—and if something really had happened to Zhao Qilei, it would only make matters worse.
So Wei Zhao could not inquire directly with the Hidden Zhao family. He could only pin his hopes on Feng Xiaoxiao of the Ice Palace, hoping she might get something out of Zhao Qiwu—perhaps Zhao Qiwu knew ** as well.
But Wei Zhao did not know how to contact Feng Xiaoxiao, so he turned to Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu. "Has Feng Xiaoxiao been in touch with either of you? Do you have her contact information?"
"Ah... Feng Xiaoxiao? She has contacted us, yes, but we don't have her contact information." Gu Mengyao had no idea why Wei Zhao had suddenly brought up Feng Xiaoxiao.
"Then never mind." It seemed Wei Zhao's only option was to write a letter to Ice-Snow Spirit Town and ask Steward Li to pass it on to Feng Xiaoxiao. That was the only means of contact he and Feng Xiaoxiao had agreed upon.
No sooner had Wei Zhao put down the phone than the ringtone sounded again.
