Chapter 3154 — Wei Zhao's Family
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Yes, Ancestor Huangquan. According to my investigation, the women closest to Wei Zhao are the following: Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, Tang Zhi, Feng Xiaoxiao, Wang Xinyan, and Han Jingyi. These are the ones who are relatively close to Wei Zhao. As for the rest, they do not often appear at his side, so I did not continue investigating," Flying Cat said.
"Oh? So you mean that if we kill these women, Wei Zhao will grieve? But that Chu—what's-her-name—Yao, why does that name sound so familiar? It seems I've heard it somewhere before?" Ancestor Huangquan asked.
"Ancestor Huangquan is most perceptive!" Flying Cat nodded. "This Gu Mengyao is the heir of the Dark Night Palace—that is, the very reason, which caused such an uproar in the martial world earlier, for the feud between the Dark Night Palace's Grand Elder and the ancient Eastern Family!"
"An heir? Then what are you even talking about? Would we dare touch someone like that? If she dies, the Blood-Robe Huangquan Sect becomes an enemy of the entire ancient layer!" Ancestor Huangquan frowned at once. Even though the Blood-Robe Huangquan Sect was one of the more unconventional entities in the ancient layer—one that others dared not lightly provoke—if it offended the interests of the entire ancient layer, the result would still be a dead end, and the only possible outcome at that! So Ancestor Huangquan was furious. "Can't you say something useful?"
"Uh... the useful part is that none of these women can be touched..." Flying Cat said with a bitter smile.
"None of them can be touched? What do you mean?" Ancestor Huangquan was slightly taken aback, thinking he must have misheard.
"Shen Yushu—if our investigation is correct, she should be a fire-element heir whom the Five Luminaries Sect has been secretly cultivating all along through the hidden Yu Family. Tang Zhi is the heir of Snow Valley and is now an elder there as well! Feng Xiaoxiao is the heir of the Ice Palace and now its vice-palace master! Han Jingyi is a student of the Five Luminaries Sect's... former Ancestor Xuantian—but not an ordinary student. She is one who can refine pills, and Ancestor Xuantian valued her greatly, so even Ancestor Xuanchen dared not touch her! As for Wang Xinyan, she is an elder of the Xuandan Sect and the fiancée of Kang Jinglong, the elder brother of Ancestor Xuanchen's son-in-law Kang Jingming. That one... is also not easy to touch..." Flying Cat explained.
"Damn it!" Ancestor Huangquan finally could not hold back and began to curse. "After all that, everyone around Wei Zhao is either an heir or connected to the Five Luminaries Sect—so how are we supposed to kill them? Whichever one we kill, the Blood-Robe Huangquan Sect is doomed! Even if we wiped out the people of the Tomorrow-upon-Tomorrow Sect, we still couldn't move against anyone connected to the Five Luminaries Sect!"
"This... Ancestor Huangquan, please hear me out!" Flying Cat said with a tearful expression, somewhat helplessly. "I was only reporting the results of the investigation to you. That doesn't mean the people I'm about to mention can't be touched..."
"Oh? Then go on—who else around Wei Zhao can be touched?" Ancestor Huangquan frowned and asked.
"The women around Wei Zhao can't be touched, but his kin can." Flying Cat said. "According to our investigation, Wei Zhao has returned several times to a place called West Star Mountain Village, where he has a grandfather. Of course, I couldn't find out his exact name—I only know his surname is Lin. An ordinary rustic villager of the secular world, not worth the trouble of investigating his name. I only know he is a traveling physician."
"Oh? You mean we should move against this man?" Ancestor Huangquan asked.RS
