Chapter 3045 — The Passionate Sun Family
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
But Wu Chengtian had nothing to feel awkward about. He had lived at Wei Zhao's home for so long, and Sun Jingyan had stayed there for several days as well; the relationship between them had long since changed. Wu Chengtian now regarded Sun Jingyan only as a sister-in-law and entertained no further ideas.
Only when Old Master Sun saw Wu Chengtian and Sun Jingyan talking and laughing easily, without the slightest awkwardness, did he breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed Wei Zhao's charisma was no small thing—Wu Chengtian had not only given up on Sun Jingyan, but was even willing to serve as his underling!
Of course, that was not the real shock. Only when Old Master Sun learned of Fiery Cloud's identity as a member of an ancient sect was he thoroughly stunned!
Wei Zhao… actually had an underling from the ancient echelon? That was simply formidable beyond words.
Yet when Old Master Sun learned that Wei Zhao had not just one underling from the ancient echelon, but also the local tyrant of the Loess High Sect, it suddenly struck him that the distance between himself and Wei Zhao was growing wider and wider.
The gap in their levels was no longer a matter of a little here and a little there. As for the level of the hidden families, Wei Zhao probably no longer even regarded it as worth his attention…

Little One fled at a mad dash with Little Eleven and Tagan Long, not even bothering to fetch their car. They ran dozens of kilometers before renting a vehicle and speeding off in the direction of the Xuandan Sect!
The car rental people were not suspicious; they simply assumed Little Eleven was undergoing acupuncture treatment somewhere, and Tagan Long was a patient as well, so they asked no further questions and drove Little One and the others swiftly onward.
In the car, Little One several times could not resist the urge to call Patriarch Xuanchen and recount the day's ordeal, but on reflection he decided against it. These matters were better told in person.
At last, after the torment of the journey, Little One arrived at the Xuandan Sect together with Little Eleven and Tagan Long.
For the final stretch, the rented car could not accompany them, so Little One had no choice but to go on foot.
Along the way, Little Eleven remained silent the entire time. Though she had escaped with her life, perhaps because she had suffered too many shocks, and because her body was truly drained, she had not spoken a single word to Little One.
Watching Little Eleven's wretched state, Little One began secretly making plans of his own! Previously, he had pursued Little Eleven partly because she was Patriarch Xuanchen's daughter, and partly because her strength was no trifling matter—she was a Heaven-rank expert.
But now Little Eleven was likely ruined. Her body would probably be riddled with holes, making her a complete invalid. What use was a woman like that to marry? At that moment, Little One was thinking about how he might distance himself from Little Eleven in the future.
It had to be said that Patriarch Xuanchen's disciples were every one of them full of crooked thoughts—when the beam is crooked, the rafters are crooked too. That was only to be expected.
"Bang, bang, bang!" A hurried knocking at the door interrupted Patriarch Xuanchen's cultivation. Actually, it scarcely counted as cultivation. At Patriarch Xuanchen's level, he seldom cultivated anymore; what he did was mostly contemplate the Heavenly Dao. Though such contemplation was in truth elusive and few had ever succeeded, before Cloud Rank Isle opened, it was the only widely known method of ascending to the Heavenly Dao—self-contemplation!
Of course, whether anyone had ever succeeded in ascending to the Heavenly Dao through contemplation was anyone's guess.
