Chapter 2893 — You Went to Wei Zhao

"Well, I wasn't all that sure back then either!" Little Nine said.
"Mm, right—this time it's all thanks to Brother A-Yi. Otherwise I'd have died in the Five Baleful Wastes, and there's no way I'd have gotten the claw of the Five Baleful Dragon." Yang Qiqi did not dwell on what had happened before; instead she shared everything that had taken place in the Five Baleful Wastes with Little Nine.
She described in particular how Wei Zhao had grilled fish for her and rescued her and brought her back, dwelling on every detail. Little Nine listened with no small envy: "Sister Xiaoqi, you're so lucky—you got to see Brother A-Yi. All I can do is hear his voice on the phone..."
"It's all right. Brother A-Yi has already promised me that he'll come find us before long, and then you two can meet as well! Perfect timing, too—he can see for himself that our Ninth Princess has grown into a young lady. I expect Brother A-Yi will be drooling. Aren't all boys fond of those cute cartoon-comic loli girls?" Yang Qiqi said.
"Oh, come on... it's just because of my health that I've stayed so small..." Little Nine said, a little embarrassed.
The two chatted happily together, while over on the other side, Tianchan had the innkeeper, Manager Sun, order Earth Drill Star to come and see her...
Earth Drill Star returned to the Xuandan Sect inn and looked at the young sect master lying unconscious on the bed, his heart full of gloom. Even Tianchan, the young sect master of the Xuandan Sect, had said there was nothing to be done—Earth Drill Star truly had no recourse left!
Dragging on day after day like this was no solution either, but the Loess Plateau Sect was located in the Western Regions, a long and arduous road away. If they made the long trek from here back to the Loess Plateau Sect, he feared Earth Overlord would not last the journey.
Still, even if the Loess Plateau Sect sent people, there was no way they could save Earth Overlord. Their only hope now was to trust that Tianchan's final remark about "finding a way" had not been a mere courtesy, but that she truly meant to find a way to help Earth Overlord.
Just as he was stewing in his worries, the internal line in the room suddenly rang. Earth Drill Star started slightly and picked up, unable to fathom who would be calling the internal line at such a time. Over these days he had seen enough of the fickleness of the world—their Loess Plateau Sect had offended Zhang Naipao, and the other cultivators all kept their distance from them, ducking out of sight the moment they met, let alone calling them.
So Earth Drill Star assumed it was a wrong number: "Who is this?"
"Is this Earth Drill Star of the Loess Plateau Sect?" the voice on the other end asked directly.
"This is he. And you are?" Earth Drill Star was somewhat taken aback. The other party actually knew who he was—so it was plainly a genuine call for him. But who would be looking for him?
"I am Manager Sun of the inn. Our young sect master of the Xuandan Sect, Miss Tian, wants you to come to the sect to see her at once!" Manager Sun said. "The young sect master says she has thought of a way."
"What! The young sect master has thought of a way?!" Earth Drill Star was both shocked and overjoyed, so excited that he could barely hold the phone steady. "Thank you, Manager Sun! I'll be right over—thank you so very much!"
"No need for thanks. I am merely the one passing on the message. You had best hurry along and not keep the young sect master waiting," Manager Sun said flatly.
"Yes, yes, I'm going right this very moment!" Earth Drill Star said in fearful reverence.
He hung up and, too elated to bother with the stairs, skipped them altogether and leapt straight out the window, making directly for the Xuandan Sect. He was afraid of angering Tianchan by keeping her waiting, so he dared not waste a single moment!
