護花近衛 - 第3008章 去往雪谷 - 翰墨軒

, then when I return this time, I'll pay a visit to Old Master Sun and take the chance to tell him about us!" Since this was the Sun family's rule and he had feelings for Sun Jingyan, he naturally owed her an explanation. What relieved Wei Zhao was that neither the young miss nor Little Shu showed any displeasure. When Xiaoxiao had come before, they had shown great resistance, yet toward Sun Jingyan they had always been warm—perhaps because Sun Jingyan had saved him, and was also the daughter of Uncle Qing and Granny Sun. "Mm..." Sun Jingyan murmured softly, her cheeks faintly flushed. "Actually, if there's time this trip, Wei Zhao, it would be best if you took Sister Jingyi back with you," Gu Mengyao spoke up: "Of course, if it's too rushed this time, you can at least speak with Grandpa Lin first." "Ah... all right!" Wei Zhao nodded, casting the young miss a grateful glance. Had the young miss's character changed somewhat? Gu Mengyao felt a little embarrassed under his gaze, and merely said: "Sister Jingyi has done so much for you and likes being with you. Little Shu and I are naturally glad to see it. But this matter must also be told to Xiaoxiao." "That's true. In a little while, I'll make a trip to the Ice Palace and tell Xiaoxiao about this myself, and about Jingyi and Xinyan as well." Wei Zhao no longer felt that old sense of oppression regarding the Ice Palace. It was not that he now had the strength to stand above the Ice Palace, but that he had stepped into the Heaven rank himself, drawing ever closer to Bing Tang; before her, that feeling of being hopelessly out of reach was gone. Sun Jingyan stood to one side, her head lowered, too shy to speak. Even she had never imagined that matters between her and Wei Zhao would go so smoothly! After bidding everyone farewell, Wei Zhao rode the Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast and vanished from their sight. It was only the hour of first light; few pedestrians and vehicles were about, and Wei Zhao and the beast took quiet side roads, so no one noticed them. …………………… Meanwhile, within the borders of the Snow Valley. Two uninvited guests arrived today; Snow Valley disciples stopped a car at the edge of their territory. "This is Snow Valley territory. If you two are here to explore or tour, I ask you to go no further!" A Snow Valley patrol disciple reached out and halted the car led by Tang. Tang did not dare be presumptuous—this was the Snow Valley, after all, a power far above the hidden sects; even an ordinary patrol disciple was about as strong as he was. Tang said respectfully: "Young hero, we've come to find someone. This is the Snow Valley, correct?" "Indeed, this is the Snow Valley. Whom do you seek?" The valley-patrolling disciple nodded; hearing that Tang had come to find someone, his expression softened a little as he asked. "We've come to find Tang Zhi. May I ask whether she is here?" Tang inquired. "Insolent! Our Elder Tang's name is not yours to call so casually! Who exactly are you?" The valley-patrolling disciple, hearing Tang address Tang Zhi by name, was immediately displeased and demanded sharply. (To be continued...)
