Chapter 2764 — What Was He Here For?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Wei Zhao has gone to Snow Valley!" Gu Mengyao said.
"What? Wei Zhao is here?" Mother Tang was startled. "Why has he come? Has he remembered the matter of Yunyun?"
Though Mother Tang dearly wished for Wei Zhao and Tang Zhi to recognize each other again, she also respected Tang Zhi's wishes. So when Wei Zhao suddenly appeared at Snow Valley, she was both worried and shocked.
"No, nothing like that. This trip to Snow Valley, he is actually there to seek medicine." With that, Gu Mengyao recounted the whole affair of Wang Xinyan to Mother Tang.
Mother Tang knew of Wang Xinyan, and she knew this was the girlfriend Tang Zhi had tacitly permitted Wei Zhao to have, so she felt no resistance at all. Hearing the explanation, she breathed a sigh of relief. "So long as he is not here to make trouble, that is fine. With his present strength, he has no way at all to stand against Snow Valley!"
"Indeed, which is why the rest will have to be entrusted to you to smooth over," Gu Mengyao said.
"That is no problem at all. Leave it to me..." Mother Tang agreed, yet in her heart she had already secretly resolved that on this visit of Wei Zhao's, she must find a chance to bring Tang Zhi to catch a glimpse of him—even if only from afar. That alone was the greatest hope Tang Zhi had harbored all this time.
Mother Tang knew perfectly well just how deeply Tang Zhi missed Wei Zhao. So even without a reunion, Tang Zhi would certainly wish to go and see what Wei Zhao was like now.
"Yes, and there is one more thing. Wei Zhao is going to Snow Valley to trade, and he means to use a Heaven-rank divine weapon. I worry that, in his eagerness to save Wang Xinyan, he will come out the loser. See whether you might..." Gu Mengyao reckoned the value of a Heaven-rank divine weapon should exceed that of the Orchid Mustard Jade Lingzhi Grass, but if Wei Zhao went to trade it himself, he would inevitably be played by Snow Valley.
"Oh, that matter. Rest assured, I will not let him lose out. I will keep an eye on things over the next few days. When he arrives, I will go and make the trade for him!" Mother Tang agreed outright—for such things, she was the most capable of all.
"That is good to hear. Thank you, Auntie!" Gu Mengyao let out a breath of relief. Having said all that needed to be said, she could rest easy.
"Oh, what is all this talk of thanks between us? We are all family. Your auntie is simply Snow Valley's mole, one who has come especially to line her own pockets at the public's expense. Rest assured, if Wei Zhao fails to trade for good things, you come to your auntie and take it up with me!" Mother Tang laughed.
"Heh heh..." Gu Mengyao laughed too. In the past, she had found Mother Tang snobbish and a little petty, but now she seemed utterly agreeable. "By the way, Auntie, besides all this, there is another reason I had Yunyun call over."
"Oh? What matter is that?" Mother Tang asked.
"It is like this. There is a man who has returned from overseas by the name of Tang Yuqi, who claims to be Tang Zhi's cousin..." With that, Gu Mengyao recounted the matter of Tang Yuqi to Mother Tang in detail.
"Tang Yuqi? I see. This matter I will have to ask my old Tang and Yunyun about. After all, it may bring him running to Snow Valley, so Yunyun will have to make the decision," Mother Tang said.
"Yes, all right. Then once you have reached a decision on your end, give me another call," Gu Mengyao said.
"That is no problem. It is quite easy for me to make a call," Mother Tang said.

Wei Zhao's Grand Cherokee drove into the territory of Snow Valley. Wei Zhao was faster than Kang Xiaofeng; he needed no rest, and pressing on day and night along the road, he reached his destination.
