"I can give you the contact information, but you do have a point," You Panhu said with a nod. "How about this—I will go back today and make some inquiries for you."
"I am much obliged!" Kang Jinglong said gratefully.
Wang Xinyan actually slept all the way until the noon break. Rubbing her drowsy eyes, she checked the time on her phone and gave a start. "Oh! It is already noon? I have been asleep this whole time?"
"Yes. You looked so tired and worn out that I did not disturb you." Wei Zhao smiled and pushed a boxed meal in front of her. "I bought this from the cafeteria. Eat it quickly before it gets cold. There is also some breakfast here—if it is not enough, you can have a bit of that too."
As he spoke, Wei Zhao took out the breakfast he had prepared that morning from his desk. Seeing that Wang Xinyan had not woken, he had asked Bai Weituo to buy two boxed meals, and he had eaten his in the classroom as well.
"I... I will just have the breakfast you made. I like the food you make," Wang Xinyan said a little sheepishly, taking the breakfast Wei Zhao had prepared. His cooking was far better than the cafeteria's. Having stayed at Wei Zhao's villa all this time, her palate had grown quite spoiled—ordinary food no longer tasted good to her.
"Heh, suit yourself," Wei Zhao said with a smile.
In the afternoon, Wang Xinyan's spirits were passable. She still yawned constantly, but at least she was much better than in the morning. She made it through the day's classes, and in the evening she went back with Wei Zhao...
As for You Panhu, once he returned home, he discussed the matter of Kang Jinglong with his uncle and his grandfather.
"Panhu, it is best not to provoke that Wei Zhao. Him chasing after Kang Jinglong's woman is not much of our concern—there is no need for us to meddle, is there?" You Zhentian pondered for a moment, then offered his opinion.
"That is true enough, but Kang Jingming is, after all, the disciple of the Xuandan Sect's Fifth Elder. If he can inherit the Elder's position in the future, then when one man attains the Way, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. No matter how formidable Wei Zhao is, he is no match for the Xuandan Sect—he could not contend with them, could he?" You Panhu had thought it through more thoroughly, which was why he had agreed to Kang Jinglong's request.
"There is sense in what both Zhentian and Panhu say," the old master You said at last. "Still, if we quietly place a call to the Xuandan Sect, Wei Zhao will never know. It is a trifling favor. Panhu, on the surface, do not set yourself against Wei Zhao. If Kang Jinglong wishes to oppose him, just watch. You may strike from the shadows, but in the open, be sure not to let him catch hold of anything against you!"
The old master You thought further ahead. He had already learned of what had happened in the hidden Yu family. At the hidden level, Zhao Qibing's abduction of Yu Ning was no secret, and the fact that Wei Zhao had walked out of the hidden Yu family unscathed also made clear that family's stance.
If even the hidden Yu family could do nothing to Wei Zhao, then what standing did the hidden You family have to oppose him?
"I understand!" You Panhu nodded. How could he not know that Wei Zhao was not to be trifled with? That was why he had kept a much lower profile at school. Even knowing that Han Jingyi held a pill refiner's insight manual, he did not dare seize it openly—if Wei Zhao found out, he could have him killed with no place to plead his case.
