Chapter 2326 — Wei Zhao's Purpose
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"I'll get you to Earth rank. You've heard of the Minor Qi-Gathering Pill, haven't you? I can give you one to help you break through to the early Earth rank. The rest of the road is up to you." Wei Zhao said, "As for how to keep them from sending anyone over, I don't need to teach you that, do you? You said the Mystery Investigation Bureau is watching closely—if cultivators enter the country and they get wind of it, things go wrong easily. As a native local power, you have the advantage."
"I understand, Brother Eagle. Thank you so much!" Brother Dafeng said solemnly. "If I have a Minor Qi-Gathering Pill, I'm confident I can take the Big Boss's seat in the branch!"
"Once you've secured that position, find a way to maneuver things afterward. Best if you can get transferred to the poison-refining base as some kind of supervisor. If that truly can't be done, then gather as much intelligence about the poison-refining base as you can!" Wei Zhao said.
"Understood!" Brother Dafeng nodded.
"That's all for now. Make your own plans, go into hiding first, and come out only after the Mystery Investigation Bureau has taken the Third Boss and the rest away," Wei Zhao said.
"Yes, Brother Eagle!" Brother Dafeng answered hurriedly.
Wei Zhao went straight back to the Fire Wolf Hotel. Chen Buyi had already begun clearing the battlefield; everyone connected to the Red Conch had been loaded onto vehicles and sent to the Mystery Investigation Bureau's base. Chen Buyi was waiting here only for Feng Tianlong and Wei Zhao.
Wei Zhao greeted Chen Buyi and went upstairs. Sun Jingyan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Wei Zhao return.
"It's finally over. I never expected so many things to happen on this trip." Sun Jingyan said with some emotion, "It was all for me. Thank you, Wei Zhao!"
"Don't put it that way. This business in Qingrun City helped me a great deal. If the car hadn't been stolen, I never would have found my way here," Wei Zhao said.
"Anyway, I'll remember it in my heart." Sun Jingyan spoke to Wei Zhao with utter seriousness and sincerity. "From childhood until now, no one has ever cared about me so much..."
"Don't tell me you've fallen in love with me out of gratitude?" Wei Zhao looked at her expression and asked with a smile.
"A little bit." Sun Jingyan nodded seriously. "Only, don't you seem to have a few too many girlfriends?"
"I only have one lover," Wei Zhao said.
"You... aren't you going to heal your injuries?" Sun Jingyan's face flushed red, and she felt a little embarrassed, changing the subject.
"Heh..." Wei Zhao smiled faintly. So Sun Jingyan could get embarrassed too. He shook his head and, not teasing her further, sat cross-legged on the bed and circulated the second layer of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art to heal his injuries. In truth, none of the injuries inside Wei Zhao's body were serious; treating them sooner or later made little difference.
In the blink of an eye, evening came. Feng Tianlong arrived, bringing the medicinal ingredients Wei Zhao needed for refining the poison.
Feng Tianlong had a great deal to do and had to return overnight to interrogate the Third Boss, so he merely treated Wei Zhao and Sun Jingyan to a meal before taking his leave.
