Chapter 3038 — The Fiery Cloud to the Rescue
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"What?! There's an expert at the peak of the late Heaven rank?" Wu Chengtian was badly startled. In his estimation, the two Heaven-rank experts Steward Sun had spoken of were at most early Heaven rank or the peak of the early Heaven rank, and the Fiery Cloud, a late Heaven-rank expert, would surely suffice to deal with them—even Old Master Pi and Old Master Zhuang would have no role to play. But what he had not expected was that an expert at the peak of the late Heaven rank had appeared as well.
The Fiery Cloud was a late Heaven-rank expert; Shen Yushu had never been able to gauge his strength and had merely said offhandedly to Wei Zhao that he was at the peak of the late Heaven rank—in truth, the Fiery Cloud was not.
"True enough. If I go in, I'd likely just get a beating." The Fiery Cloud hesitated. He had come to seek Wei Zhao's help; the last thing he wanted was to fail at that and throw his life away besides.
Most crucial of all, Wei Zhao had not yet made his position clear. If he foolishly charged in to help and ended up dead, wouldn't that death be for nothing?
At this thought, the Fiery Cloud truly did not know whether he should go in.
"We still have to go in! If we don't, what becomes of Sister Jingyi?" Wu Chengtian was growing anxious. "If you're afraid to die, then don't stop me!"
"Brother Wu, don't be rash!" The Fiery Cloud clapped Wu Chengtian on the shoulder. "Charging in blindly would only be throwing our lives away for nothing. We must think of a plan first. Surely you don't want us to die and Miss Sun to come to harm as well?"
"That..." Wu Chengtian froze for a moment, and his expression returned to normal, the anxiety on his face suppressed. Yes—Wei Zhao had said as much on the phone, warning him to be careful, that he was no match for them, and that if Sun Jingyan's life was not in danger, he should not act rashly.
"Brother Wu, shouldn't we come up with a plan together?" What the Fiery Cloud had in mind was whether to call the Local Tyrant and ask his opinion. The Local Tyrant was closer to Wei Zhao than he was—at the very least, the Local Tyrant would not set him up.
"I'll call the boss first!" Wu Chengtian nodded and dialed Wei Zhao's number.
"Chengtian? What's the situation?" Wei Zhao had been wanting to call Wu Chengtian as well, but he feared Wu Chengtian might already have come to blows with those two experts of the Sun household, and that a call would only distract him, so he had not dared to ring.
"Boss, I've arrived. Sister-in-law's screams, one after another—my heart nearly exploded listening to them. The Fiery Cloud is here too, but he says there's one expert at the peak of the early Heaven rank and one at the peak of the late Heaven rank, and that he's only a late Heaven-rank expert, so we're no match for them!" Wu Chengtian said, his face bitter.
"Peak of the late Heaven rank?" At Wu Chengtian's words, Wei Zhao found himself caught between advancing and retreating. Why would an expert at the peak of the late Heaven rank go making trouble for the Sun household? What did these people actually want?
After a moment's brooding silence, Wei Zhao asked, "Chengtian, is Jingyi in danger?"
"Boss, for now it looks like Sister-in-law isn't in danger—it's just that she keeps screaming, so she's clearly being tormented." Wu Chengtian hesitated before replying. RS
