Chapter 2615 — The White Leader Appears
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Xiao Yi knew Little Eleven's temperament and methods all too well. Han Jingyi had likely been tortured beyond recognition—and might even be dead already. So Xiao Yi did not dare delay; he quickly dialed Little Eleven's number!
He had to tell Little Eleven to stop at once. Otherwise, if Han Jingyi died and the grand plan of centuries was ruined, then even if she was Xuanchen Ancestral Master's daughter, she could not bear the responsibility!
"Hello? Senior Brother, is it settled on your end?" Little Eleven answered the phone while casually drawing a blade across Han Jingyi's face, and only then did he speak.
"Han Jingyi is Grand Uncle Master's disciple. Let her go—otherwise, if you anger Grand Uncle Master, that plan will be affected. Master should understand..." Xiao Yi could only hint at this obliquely to Little Eleven.
"What? The White Leader is interfering?" On the other end of the line, Little Eleven showed not the slightest deference toward the White Leader. "That old bastard sticks his nose into everything. But Han Jingyi isn't dead yet—though she's close! Not even a divine physician could save her now!"
"Oh, Han Jingyi is fine? Good, good. Release her now, and we'll leave this place!" Xiao Yi's heart lurched, nearly exploding from fright. Han Jingyi was close to death? What were they to do? Better to flee first and think later!
If Han Jingyi died at the White Leader's hands later, that would have nothing to do with them—after all, she had been alive when they released her.
"Fine, I understand. I'll wait for you at the highway exit out of the city!" Little Eleven sighed, shot Han Jingyi a reluctant glare, then quickly hung up and left the hotel room.
"Han Jingyi is at the Xueshang Hotel, in the room Sun Jingyan was originally staying in." Xiao Yi hung up and turned to Wei Zhao. "You can go straight to her."
Wei Zhao did not think too much of it. Seeing Sun Jingyan unharmed, it did not occur to him that anything might have happened to Han Jingyi; and seeing how Xiao Yi feared the White Leader, he judged that the man would not lie. So he nodded and said, "I understand."
"Grand Uncle Master, then I shall take my leave!" Xiao Yi cupped his fists in salute, then turned and departed swiftly, without the slightest hesitation!
"Teacher Bai, you..." Wei Zhao was somewhat unable to make sense of the White Leader. Just who was he? To think that he came from the same sect as Tagan Long and Xiao Yi, and was even their grand uncle master and sect master!
"Let's go see Han Jingyi first!" The White Leader waved a hand. "We'll talk about all this later!"
"All right!" Wei Zhao nodded. Though a thousand questions filled his heart, he nonetheless hurried off at a swift pace toward the Xueshang Hotel.
The White Leader did not go with Wei Zhao, because he first had to take care of the aftermath. Besides, he had already given his word: at least until that plan was carried out smoothly, both Wei Zhao and Han Jingyi were safe. Whether Xiao Yi and Xuanchen Ancestral Master were willing or not, they had no choice but to yield a step!
So Wei Zhao was safe now; Xiao Yi could not attempt to ambush him again. And the White Leader, remaining behind, naturally had to deal with the matter of the great crater at the school gate! Although few students had seen it, the tremendous crash had drawn some to gather and watch—only, with sand and stones flying everywhere at the time, they had not dared approach.
