Chapter 2822 — Did You Bring a Weapon?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Tian Chan finally nodded and agreed.
"I don't even know how many days have passed..." Wei Zhao had broken through the mental cultivation method and incantation within the jade pendant's space, and on top of that there had been the earlier inheritance of the source power—he had no idea how long all of it had taken. He wondered how Zhao Qilei and the others were doing.
"What, do you have friends out there taking part in the trial?" Tian Chan asked.
"Yes. I wonder how they're doing..." Wei Zhao said, a trace of worry in his voice.
At his words, Tian Chan fell silent for a moment. She knew full well the true nature of this Xuandan Sect trial: the cultivators who came here were, in essence, sent to their deaths. Cruel as it was, Tian Chan had neither the power to stop it nor the power to change it—not even her master could, and she herself was even more helpless. All she could do was let it be.
But she could not bring herself to say any of this to Wei Zhao, so she changed the subject instead: "How are we supposed to tie you to me? There's no rope or anything of the sort here."
"Uh..." Wei Zhao looked around. Apart from a single bloodstained claw of the Five Baleful Dragon lying on the ground, there was nothing else at all. His gaze finally came to rest on Tian Chan's chest. He wanted to say something, but the words died on his lips.
Under his stare Tian Chan felt her whole body prickle, deeply uncomfortable. "You... what are you looking at?"
"The yellow silk on your chest—the one you use for binding..." Wei Zhao said.
"Then... what about my chest?" Tian Chan glared at Wei Zhao and said angrily, "Am I supposed to bare it for you to look at?"
"I'm behind you, so I won't be able to see anyway..." Wei Zhao broke into a sweat. "Besides, haven't I already seen it before? There's only the two of us here. Once we're up at the top of the mountain range, you can bind it back up, can't you?"
"This..." Though Tian Chan found it rather embarrassing—after all, this was different from when Wei Zhao had treated her injuries—she had to admit he had a point. There were only the two of them in these mountains, and Wei Zhao had already seen and touched everything there was to see and touch. If it meant they could climb up smoothly, his suggestion was not entirely unacceptable. Still, Tian Chan felt it was really rather improper.
"Besides, your clothes are so long, nothing would show anyway, would it? At most a bit of a hint here and there. Look at those car show models on TV—they show off so much..." Wei Zhao pressed his advantage.
"I'll kick you to death, I do! It's not like I want to get famous by stripping." Tian Chan made as if to kick Wei Zhao, but his words had loosened her up a little. She shot him a glare and said, "You're watching me—how am I supposed to take it off?"
"Heh, I'll just pretend I'm watching you pole-dance." Wei Zhao laughed.
"I think you're asking for a kicking. You're just a lowly late-stage Earth Rank expert, and you dare talk to me like that—me, a peak late-stage Heaven Rank expert? Aren't you afraid I'll finish you off in a single move?" Tian Chan looked at Wei Zhao with utter contempt.
"Heh, I can finish off Heaven Rank experts in a single move too." Wei Zhao smiled. "Earlier, Zhang Naipao brought two mid-stage Heaven Rank lackeys with him. I took one of them out."
"What? You can already finish off mid-stage Heaven Rank experts in a single move?" Tian Chan was stunned, staring at Wei Zhao in amazement.
"What do you mean, 'already'? Do you know something about my past, that I could before?" Wei Zhao was startled too.
"No... I was just shocked." Tian Chan was truly astonished. She had not yet heard about Zhang Naipao's lackey being killed in a single blow; she had simply never imagined Wei Zhao was already this powerful. "Even so, you're no match for me. I can finish off mid-stage Heaven Rank experts in a single move as well."
"Then just kill me, and neither of us goes up." Wei Zhao said.
