Chapter 3231 — Everyone Must Die!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
The eldest young lady had left, Xiaoxiao had left, Xiaoshu was about to leave too, and Xu Shilan, having found her mother, ought to be cured of her headaches as well, shouldn't she?
The concert was an outstanding success. Xu Shilan and Cheng Yiyi were both skilled at stirring up the crowd, and the two of them worked in perfect harmony, driving the concert step by step toward its climax!
By the time the concert ended, it was already past ten at night. Wei Zhao did not travel the night road, but instead stayed at the orphanage together with Xu Shilan and Cheng Yiyi. Cheng Yiyi, however, clearly wanted to return to Donghai City; on the way back from the gymnasium to the dormitory building, she tried several times to persuade Xu Shilan to leave.
"Xiaohan, why don't we go back to Donghai City? I'm not really used to staying here—" Cheng Yiyi made one last attempt, unwilling to give up.
"We're not going back, are we? I'm pretty tired, and so are you, right?" Xu Shilan could not understand why Cheng Yiyi was so set on leaving. "Besides, I've only just been reunited with my mother. I don't want to leave so soon."
"Is that so..." Cheng Yiyi was somewhat disappointed.
Wei Zhao, however, gave Cheng Yiyi a look heavy with meaning. Cheng Yiyi was startled and hastily shut her mouth. But Wei Zhao said nothing, and simply went upstairs with them.
At the dormitory door, Cheng Yiyi saw Xu Shilan heading toward the old director's room—clearly Xu Shilan meant to spend the night with the old director—and quickly said, "Xiaohan, why don't we sleep together tonight?"
"Yiyi? What's gotten into you today?" Xu Shilan looked at Cheng Yiyi strangely. "Back in Donghai City, weren't we living together every day? I'm sleeping with my mother tonight—can't I?"
"No, that's not... I meant..." Cheng Yiyi grew anxious, not knowing what to say.
"Then the three of you can sleep together," Wei Zhao said suddenly, glancing at Cheng Yiyi.
"That works too. I was just thinking I'd like to chat with the old director and hear stories about Xiaohan when you were little!" Hearing Wei Zhao's suggestion, Cheng Yiyi nodded at once.
"Ah? All right..." Seeing that Cheng Yiyi had said so, Xu Shilan had no way out and could only let Cheng Yiyi follow her into the old director's room.
Wei Zhao watched the two of them, Cheng Yiyi and Xu Shilan, enter the old director's room, and fell into thought.
That night, Wei Zhao circulated the third layer of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art, drawing true qi from the jade pendant's space. The effect, however, had already grown very slow, almost negligible. What Wei Zhao needed now was an opportunity to break through, but such an opportunity would not be easy to find.
In the early hours, Wei Zhao suddenly sensed someone approaching the dormitory building! Tonight, having seen Cheng Yiyi's unusual behavior earlier, Wei Zhao had been on his guard, so the moment this person drew near, he felt it!
Except that this person's level of strength left Wei Zhao aghast!
An expert at the late Heaven Rank peak, a master of Great Perfection! How had such an expert come to Songshan City? Who was he after—himself, or Xu Shilan? Wei Zhao frowned. At this moment, if this person was not after Wei Zhao, then he could still flee if he wished. But to flee while taking Xu Shilan with him—that was all but impossible!
And if this person had come for Wei Zhao, then Wei Zhao had nowhere to flee. To escape from an expert at the late Heaven Rank peak, a master of Great Perfection—was that not a pipe dream?
Wei Zhao drew a deep breath and thought to himself what rotten luck it was to run into such an expert. This time, he feared, his luck would not hold as it had before. The last time, the expert from the Blood-Robed Yellow Springs Sect had been willing to lend a hand; this time, he could only rely on himself.
Force? He was outmatched! Outwit him? Before absolute strength, intellect seemed to be of no use at all...
