Chapter 3242 — Sounding Him Out
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
After all, these were two different grades, and the gap between them was considerable. Feng Tianhu did not believe Wei Zhao had it in him. If Wei Zhao truly did, would he not have marched straight up to the ancient Feng family and stirred up trouble across the ancient plane?
"No. That assassin is dead..." Cheng Yiyi drew a deep breath and said.
"What!?" Feng Tianhu was truly startled. Speak of the devil and he appears! He could scarcely believe his own ears. "Yiyi, what did you say? The Black Horse Association's Grand Elder—a late Heaven Rank peak expert at the great perfection level—is actually dead? How did he die?"
"How else could he have died..." Cheng Yiyi's heart stirred, and a resolute, determined look came over her face, though her tone was helpless. "I don't know the specifics. At the time, Xu Shilan, the old director, and I all fled, and only Wei Zhao and that Black Horse Association Grand Elder were left in the room..."
"Only the two of them? Wei Zhao killed him??!" Feng Tianhu's eyelid twitched. He had long guessed this possibility, but having it confirmed still left him somewhat afraid and chilled. Good heavens—Wei Zhao could really kill even a top-tier cultivator like a late Heaven Rank peak great perfection expert, a walking land-based atomic bomb? That was simply too formidable!
"I don't know... maybe..." Cheng Yiyi did not put it too definitively, but every word between the lines made clear it was Wei Zhao who had done it. Feng Tianhu naturally took it that way as well.
"Then... that fool from the Black Horse Association didn't give away my identity, did he? Wei Zhao doesn't know it was me who hired them, does he?" After Feng Tianhu's disbelief came deep dread. If Wei Zhao could kill even a late Heaven Rank peak great perfection expert, then killing Feng Tianhu would be as easy as turning over his hand. What... what was he to do?
Feng Tianhu rather regretted it now. Impulse was the devil—he truly should not have entertained thoughts about anyone close to Wei Zhao again. The old director, after all, was Xu Shilan's mother; if Wei Zhao intervened, how could Feng Tianhu come off well?
And now, fine mess that it was, if Wei Zhao did not know, well and good; but if he did, he would certainly not let Feng Tianhu off. Was this not... seeking his own death?
"That I'm not clear on either, because I wasn't at their side. Xiaohan and I were both injured, and Wei Zhao healed my wounds, and then we came out..." Cheng Yiyi said.
"Oh? He didn't suspect you?" Feng Tianhu breathed a sigh of relief. "Good, good! Then listen—tonight, go and ask Wei Zhao for me. Sound him out, see whether he knows the mastermind behind this was me. If he does, tell me at once! So I can prepare my countermeasures. Did you hear me?"
