"Oh? You successfully obtained the inheritance of the Origin Power? What do you mean by that?" Chief Bai did not grasp Wei Zhao's words right away—after all, it was a little too shocking, and Chief Bai had not dared to entertain such a thought at all.
"It means that the void attribute within my body—five of its types have turned into solid attributes," Wei Zhao explained. "The five types: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. But the ice type and the mist type did not."
"What! You successfully obtained the inheritance of the Origin Power? During the trial, or—?" Chief Bai finally understood Wei Zhao's words, and he was stunned beyond measure. Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that Wei Zhao would actually receive the inheritance of the Origin Power—and the inheritance of five types of Origin Power at that!
"Yes, it was during the trial..." Wei Zhao did not conceal anything, and recounted in detail to Chief Bai everything that had happened during the trial. Though he omitted such things as Tianchan's coquettishness, Chief Bai could still tell how special Tianchan was toward Wei Zhao!
"You snatched her inheritance, and she came back to save you?" Chief Bai was somewhat taken aback, but then he shook his head, thinking to himself that the girl was truly foolish. By any ordinary reckoning, she and Wei Zhao should have been mortal enemies, yet she had actually come to rescue Wei Zhao and Yang Qiqi. The word "love" was truly impossible to fathom!
But the affairs of the young were not something Chief Bai cared to dwell on. He merely said, "If I am not mistaken, she is the Five Luminaries Sect's hidden agent, while Tagan Long was their open one. You have wrecked both the open agent and the hidden one... You really are something!"
"Heh..." Wei Zhao had not expected to be so entangled with the Five Luminaries Sect either. Elder Ancestor Xuanchen's entire plan had been thrown into disarray by him. The old man must hate him to the bone by now, surely?
"Congratulations! But as for what you asked me earlier about Little Nine—you would do best to ask Tianchan. If she really is the Five Luminaries Sect's hidden agent, then she will know far more if you ask her!" Chief Bai said.
"Oh? You are right..." Wei Zhao smacked his own head. How could he have forgotten Tianchan? He had just exchanged phone numbers with her not long ago.
After hanging up, Wei Zhao turned his head and saw Yang Qiqi gazing at him with a resentful look. Although his account of the matter with Tianchan had been very plain, even Chief Bai had caught the problem in it—so how could Yang Qiqi have failed to notice that faint hint of something more between Tianchan and Wei Zhao?
"Brother Ah Yi, that Tianchan... do you... like her?" Yang Qiqi could not help asking.
"Why do you ask that all of a sudden?" Wei Zhao felt somewhat awkward. He had only just been reunited with Yang Qiqi after a long parting. Though he had always harbored a special feeling for her, that feeling belonged to childhood; looking back now, it was probably more the affection between brother and sister than anything else.
But Yang Qiqi clearly did not regard the feeling between them as brotherly affection, and so Wei Zhao was a little embarrassed to speak the plain truth, yet equally unwilling to deceive her. He could only steer the conversation away.
"Then... Little Seven will not ask..." Yang Qiqi said weakly, watching Wei Zhao's expression and guessing something in her heart. In her mind there was no notion of one husband to one wife, for her own father had several wives, and no one had ever deliberately instilled such ideas into her as a child. She was merely jealous by instinct, but since Wei Zhao did not wish to answer, she did not press him, afraid that asking too much would displease him and spoil the joy of their first meeting.
"Eh?" Wei Zhao was rather startled by her answer. He had not expected Yang Qiqi to simply let the matter drop, and it surprised him.
