Chapter 3105 — The Conditions for Going to the Dark Night Palace
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Yes..." Dongfang Buruo was still resentful, but he nodded in agreement all the same. There was no help for it—Dongfang Jinxing's words were not something he could ignore.
"Good. Once this business is settled, come back early. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first," Dongfang Jinxing said.
After the call ended, Dongfang Buruo found staying in the hotel pointless. He simply went out for a stroll to scout the area and see whether there was anything entertaining nearby. Since he could not go chasing after schoolgirls, slipping into a pleasure house was still permissible.
Yet no sooner had Dongfang Buruo stepped out of the hotel than he spotted someone who set his heart racing! It was Xu Shilan's agent—Sister Wang! She was actually staying in this very hotel!
This sent Dongfang Buruo into a state of utter excitement. Truly, "you can wear out iron shoes searching and find it nowhere, yet it comes to you without the slightest effort." He had thought it would take some time to track down Xu Shilan's whereabouts, but who would have guessed it would be delivered right to his door!
Without hesitation, Dongfang Buruo quietly followed after her...
Sister Wang, the agent, was only an ordinary person, so naturally she could not sense that a cultivator was tailing her. She drove as usual to Wei Zhao's villa.
Seeing this, Dongfang Buruo did not force his way in. Instead, he memorized the route and returned to the hotel...
Gu Mengyao had been right. At first light, while the sky was still a hazy gray, the Grand Elder and the Black-Robed Elder were already standing in the courtyard of Wei Zhao's villa. They did not dare break in by force, though they had vaulted in over the wall, and still announced themselves: "Wei Zhao, we are here!"
In truth, Wei Zhao had sensed the moment the Grand Elder and the Black-Robed Elder appeared in the courtyard. He simply had not gone out. After all, they had come without ill intent—why should he go out so early?
Lazily ending his cultivation state, Wei Zhao opened the window and glanced at the Grand Elder and the Black-Robed Elder in the yard. "Gu Mengyao isn't up yet," he said flatly. "Stop your shouting. If you wake her, you'll have hell to pay! Let me tell you—the young miss hates having her sleep disturbed more than anything. Wake her and her mood sours, and if she refuses to go to the Dark Night Palace, you'll be the ones crying."
"You..." The Grand Elder was thoroughly incensed by Wei Zhao's words and was about to explode in fury, but the Black-Robed Elder beside him restrained him.
"Grand Elder, calm yourself. Don't stoop to argue with this creature. We came for Gu Mengyao—if we must wait a while, then we wait," the Black-Robed Elder said hastily.
"Fine, you're right. I won't lower myself to his level!" The Grand Elder nodded, ignored Wei Zhao, and simply stood in the courtyard without another word, waiting.
In truth, Gu Mengyao had not slept a wink all night. She too had heard the Grand Elder's voice, and had already risen to wash.
A while later, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu came downstairs, but they did not see the Grand Elder in the living room, which left them rather puzzled. Hadn't the Grand Elder arrived?
"You're awake." Wei Zhao emerged from his room, but at the sight of the dark circles under Yaoyao's and Xiaoshu's eyes, he could not help smiling wryly. "Looks like neither of you slept a wink all night."
"That's right. We couldn't sleep, so we just didn't." Gu Mengyao sighed, then asked, puzzled, "Wei Zhao, where's the Grand Elder? Why isn't she here?"
"She's standing at the door!" Wei Zhao shrugged. "Leave her be. We'll talk after breakfast."
"That... doesn't seem quite right, does it?" The young miss was still somewhat kind-hearted.
Wei Zhao smiled. "All right then. I'll go make breakfast—you let her in."
"Okay." Gu Mengyao nodded and went to open the villa door, where she saw the Grand Elder and the Black-Robed Elder already standing outside.
