Chapter 3230 — The Pinnacle of the Late Heaven Tier, Great Perfection
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Good. Send me that old director's files. Our Grand Elder sets out today and strikes tomorrow!" said Brother Dian.
Feng Tianhu had not expected such efficiency; he was somewhat taken aback, though nothing could have suited him better. He hurriedly sent the old director's files to the email address Brother Dian specified, and then sat back to await good news.
Wei Zhao and Yu Xiaoke wandered the night-market street a while, then went back. Wei Zhao noticed that Yu Xiaoke seemed listless today, heavy with something on her mind, and his own heart grew heavy too—he had brought it on himself, after all. But how was he to tell her? If he said that Wei Zhao was Male Thief, would she be able to bear it?
He escorted Yu Xiaoke back to the orphanage in the guise of Male Thief, then changed back into his own identity and returned to the orphanage. Xu Shilan and the old director had finished their catching up; at that moment she was rehearsing in the gymnasium with Cheng Yiyi. Wei Zhao went to have a look, but there was nothing he could help with, and Yu Xiaoke plainly did not much want to talk to him either, so Wei Zhao simply found a room and cultivated.
He had been stuck at the early Heaven Tier for some time now, with still no sign of breaking through, which drew a sigh from Wei Zhao. Above the Heaven Tier, every step forward was indeed harder than the last—and especially with Wang Xinyan no longer there to lend him a hand, his cultivation speed had sunk to a low ebb.
That night, Wei Zhao and the others stayed at the orphanage. The charity performance and the donation drive were tomorrow, and there was no point in Wei Zhao hauling Xu Shilan and Cheng Yiyi back and forth between two cities—there would not be time for it anyway.
The night passed without a word. At ten the next morning, the donation gala formally began. Although the last fundraiser had been held by the school and not long ago, that one had been in Donghai City, while this one was local to Songshan City, so quite a few wealthy magnates and celebrities had still come to show their support.
On the surface, this was the drawing power of the stars—but in truth, it was Gu Pengzhan's doing! Gu Pengzhan was chairman of the provincial chamber of commerce and a man backed by the Han family, with unmatched influence across the province. Who in the province, doing business there, would dare slight the Han family?
So the entrepreneurs who came this time came mostly for Gu Pengzhan's sake—which was in fact for Han Xiaohu's sake! Of course, at their level, none of them knew that Wei Zhao was the true boss behind it all.
Han Xiaohu was merely Wei Zhao's underling, while Wei Zhao was a figure whose stamp of the foot made the whole ancient order tremble.
The donation gala was a great success, and after it came the charity performance by Xu Shilan and Cheng Yiyi. All proceeds from the concert would go entirely to the construction of the orphanage, and fans could also donate of their own accord to the designated account by online transfer.
Wei Zhao sat alone in the audience, quietly watching Xu Shilan onstage, and fell slightly into a reverie... RS
