Chapter 2398 — I Understand, But the Legendary Ancient Sect Has Actually Taken Kang Jingming as a Disciple, and He Might Even Become an Elder of the Xuandan Sect?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"I..." Wang Xinyan opened her mouth, utterly astonished! Kang Jinglong's younger brother Kang Jingming had actually become the closed-door disciple of the fifth elder of the ancient sect Xuandan, and the future heir to the elder's position? How was the Kang family so lucky?
"Xinyan, you're my only daughter, and I don't want anything to happen to you..." Xiao Qinlin pressed on. "Sometimes, loving someone doesn't mean you have to be with them. As long as he's safe and happy, that too is a kind of joy, isn't it?"
"Mom... I understand..." Wang Xinyan sighed faintly and smiled wryly at herself. She had never expected her decision to die stillborn before she could even carry it out! Yes—if she forced herself to be with Wei Zhao, she would ruin not only herself but Wei Zhao as well!
"Xinyan, think it over carefully, calm yourself down!" Xiao Qinlin was not feeling well either. "If you can't work it out, call me again..."
"Okay..." Wang Xinyan quietly hung up, and the tears came despite herself. Were they a memorial, perhaps, to this love that was to wither before it ever bloomed? Freedom to love had become a luxury in a family like hers...
Unwilling as she was, Wang Xinyan did not want to bring trouble to Wei Zhao! After a moment's hesitation, she dialed Wu Chengtian's number.
"Sister-in-law Xinyan?" Wu Chengtian was taken aback—he had not expected Wang Xinyan to call him! True, after her kidnapping she had saved his number, but she had never called, so Wu Chengtian was rather surprised.
"Wu Chengtian, let me ask you something—are ancient sects very powerful?" Wang Xinyan asked directly.
"Ancient sects?" Wu Chengtian was startled, not knowing why Wang Xinyan would ask such a thing. But assuming she had merely heard of them somewhere and was curious, he answered offhandedly: "Naturally they're powerful. Ancient sects are far mightier than the hidden families. Sister-in-law Xinyan, why do you ask all of a sudden?"
"Then... compared with Wei Zhao?" Wang Xinyan asked again.
"This..." Wu Chengtian was even more taken aback. He had not expected Wang Xinyan's thoughts to leap so far, comparing them directly to Wei Zhao. For a moment he was at a loss—he did not want to belittle Wei Zhao in front of her, yet he dared not boast recklessly either, so he could only say: "In the future, the Boss will definitely be even stronger than the ancient sects! Look—the Boss used to be no match even for an ordinary secular family, badly suppressed under the Yu family, yet later he successfully wiped out the Yu family and brought all the ordinary families under his wing, founding the Cultivators' Association! Now he's marching on the hidden families. Look, the hidden Han family and the hidden Pi family are both the Boss's underlings now and have joined the Cultivators' Association. So it's only a matter of time before the Boss conquers the ancient sects as well..."
"I understand. Thank you." Wang Xinyan gave a faint sigh in her heart and hung up...
How could she fail to catch Wu Chengtian's meaning? It was that Wei Zhao simply had no ability to stand against the ancient sects right now—for the moment, he could just barely swallow a few hidden families! RQ
