That was why Wei Zhao did not dare let them casually set foot on the path of cultivation.
"Arrow-Brand Bro, what do you say Jingjing and Sister Mengyao find a place and receive a legacy?" Shen Yushu said suddenly.
"A legacy? Where would you go to receive a legacy?" Wei Zhao blinked.
"You know, going to some fire-element sect or metal-element sect or whatever to receive a legacy," Shen Yushu said.
"Xiaoshu, stop daydreaming!" Gu Mengyao gave Shen Yushu a helpless kick. "Even if you're desperate for power, there's no need to be so absurd!"
"Oh..." Shen Yushu shut her mouth, somewhat disappointed.
Wei Zhao shook his head and smiled too, but he did not take Shen Yushu's words seriously. After all, if legacies were something anyone could receive, then the Ice Palace and the Loess High Sect would not have gone to such trouble searching for inheritors.
"All right, don't dwell on it. I've now come into contact with the ancient levels, and if the chance arises, I'll ask around for suitable cultivation methods and oral formulas for you," Wei Zhao consoled.
"All right, no rush." Gu Mengyao did not want to add to Wei Zhao's burdens; anxious as she was inside, she put on an air of not caring at all.
"Heh heh..." Wei Zhao knew the young miss's character well and smirked mischievously, but did not call her out.
"What are you heh-heh-ing about?!" Having her thoughts seen through, the young miss flushed at once and glared at Wei Zhao. "Keep your eyes on the road!"
"..." Wei Zhao was somewhat speechless. Now he couldn't even laugh...
"By the way, Arrow-Brand Bro, why did that old man Zhao suddenly change his mind? A few days ago Zhao Qibing was still strutting about!" Shen Yushu found the Hidden Zhao family's behavior strange. "There couldn't be some plot, could there?"
"Xiaoshu, why is everything a conspiracy theory with you?" Gu Mengyao thought nothing of it. "Didn't the Zhao family send over two hundred million the other day?"
"Xiaoshu just thinks that when something is out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy," Shen Yushu said.
"All right, I'll be careful when the time comes." Wei Zhao nodded. Sometimes Shen Yushu's sixth sense was remarkably accurate, and though Wei Zhao too had felt that the Zhao family's change of attitude was a little too quick, hadn't the Zhuang family, the Pi family, and the rest been just as quick to trim their sails to the wind?
Over the following days, Wei Zhao asked White Leader for leave. Apart from driving Gu Mengyao and the others to and from school morning and evening, he spent the rest of his time at home practicing the Fire of Condensation and Tempering. But such a thing could not show results overnight; all Wei Zhao could do was calm his mind and practice diligently.
In the blink of an eye it was Saturday, and Wei Zhao set out early in the morning, driving to the estate where the Hidden Zhao family resided.
Yet even though Wei Zhao had set out at seven in the morning, on a weekend with heavy traffic it still took him more than three hours to reach the Hidden Zhao family's estate.
Perhaps because Old Master Zhao had already given word, the guards on the private road leading to the Zhao estate put up no obstruction at all to Wei Zhao's arrival and waved him through the moment they saw his car. At the gates of the Zhao estate, Wei Zhao saw Zhao Qilei waiting there early!
Beside him stood, of all people, Old Master Zhao and a Zhao Qibing whose face was a mask of embarrassment.
"Leader!" Zhao Qilei, catching sight of Wei Zhao's car, looked utterly thrilled.
"Senior Lin!" Old Master Zhao, though he too looked somewhat embarrassed, nonetheless cupped his hands and said solemnly—this counted as a formal salute to Wei Zhao! By addressing him as Senior Lin, he was, of course, having the Hidden Zhao family acknowledge Wei Zhao's status.
