Chapter 3106 — Another One Has Come
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
The Grand Elder was a Heaven-rank expert and wanted to eavesdrop—but one must not forget that Wei Zhao was a Heaven-rank expert too. Wei Zhao had sensed that the Grand Elder had not left, and that was precisely why he had questioned Gu Mengyao as he did: the goal was for the Grand Elder to overhear, and now that goal had been achieved.
"All right, the Grand Elder's gone. She was eavesdropping just now," Wei Zhao said to Gu Mengyao. "Let's eat."
"So that's how it was..." The young miss suddenly understood. "Wei Zhao, then tell me—do you think she'll agree?"
"In theory, it shouldn't be a problem," Wei Zhao said.
After those words, everyone quietly began eating breakfast. Gu Mengyao's departure was drawing ever nearer, and the entire living room was steeped in a sorrowful atmosphere, giving one an indescribable sense of melancholy.
Today, neither Gu Mengyao nor Shen Yushu went to school; they stayed at home. Perhaps tonight, she would be leaving!
Gu Mengyao was reluctant to part—reluctant to leave Daddy, reluctant to leave Xiaoshu, reluctant to leave General Weiwu, reluctant to leave... Wei Zhao!
Dongfang Cha was dead, and the Dongfang family had sent another elder. This elder, however, possessed the strength of the mid Heaven rank. His name was Dongfang Song. When he arrived, he had already received Dongfang Jinxing's instructions: he was only to assist Dongfang Buruo in dealing with Xu Shilan and the people around her. Beyond that, he was not to agree to any of Dongfang Buruo's requests!
If he truly could not hold out against him, then he was to call Dongfang Jinxing and let him speak to Dongfang Buruo.
Fortunately, Dongfang Buruo was obedient this time. He knew well enough what purpose the man his father had sent was serving, and he made no further unreasonable demands. Of course, as for Dongfang Cha's death, Dongfang Buruo felt not the slightest bit of guilt. In his view, Dongfang Cha had simply failed to use his eyes and had picked a fight with people from the Dark Night Palace—whose fault was that but his own?
Before you go grabbing schoolgirls, couldn't you at least find out whose background they have? Grabbing people outright like that—aren't you afraid of dying?
And so Dongfang Buruo carried no psychological burden whatsoever! It had to be said that the man got by solely on his status as the sole heir to the young family head. Otherwise, how could anyone in the Dongfang family possibly respect him?
"Young Master Buruo, the young family head has ordered me to assist you in dealing with Xu Shilan and the people around her..." The moment Dongfang Song arrived, he explained his purpose on this trip to Dongfang Buruo, making sure he knew that this was the sole reason for his coming—and that he should stop causing trouble.
"I understand!" Dongfang Buruo said. "Earlier today, I secretly tailed Xu Shilan's agent, Sister Wang. I've already discovered where Xu Shilan is staying. Tonight we'll go straight there and grab her! Once we've got her, I'll have some fun with Xu Shilan in this hotel, then dispose of her, and we'll head back!" (To be continued)
