Chapter 3255 — The One She Would Rather Not Meet
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Wei Zhao frowned slightly. These two before him looked young, but their strength was no trifling matter—this He Tianzu who spoke actually possessed the great-perfection peak of the late Heaven Tier. Of course, he might also be quite old and merely well preserved; after all, once one sets foot in the Heaven Tier, the face no longer changes.
The other young European possessed mid-Heaven Tier strength, which was rare enough in itself. So Wei Zhao needed no guessing to conclude that these two must belong to the Overseas Cultivators' Association, and to no low station within it.
He had meant to steer clear of them and avoid too much entanglement, but He Tianzu had proved anything but vague—he had declared his feelings to Xu Shilan outright, leaving Wei Zhao with the helpless sense that branches were sprouting where he least wanted them. Yet at this moment he truly could not afford a clash with them: this was their territory, and whether he could even get away if it came to blows was uncertain—and even if he did, the blue crystal would be lost for good.
Yang Qiqi's expression also froze; she had not expected He Tianzu to make such a request, and for a moment she was at a loss. After a brief hesitation, however, she said, "This is the star Xu Shilan, Miss Xu. She's here this time to discuss a business partnership with XXX Entertainment, and she'll be leaving very soon."
Yang Qiqi had meant to make clear that Xu Shilan was only passing through and would soon be gone, but He Tianzu plainly understood and pretended not to, feigning ignorance of her meaning. Instead he said, "I thought to myself, how could Miss Xu be so beautiful—so she's a star! XXX Entertainment may be famous far and wide, but it has far too many big names under its roof. The Fleon-Ou family has a film company of its own, Kreston Pictures—not so renowned as XXX, perhaps, but if one wanted to push a newcomer, I imagine it would be very easy to rise there! Last year, the newcomer who took the Best Actress award at the XX Film Awards was groomed by Kreston Pictures. Since Miss Xu has come to discuss a partnership, she ought to weigh the promotional strength on both sides. Here, I can promise you—every resource at our command can be thrown behind Miss Xu alone."
"I'll think it over. Thank you, Young Master He." Xu Shilan was a star after all, accustomed to great occasions; after only a brief start, she smiled faintly and said politely, "But XXX was recommended by a friend of mine as well, so I shall have to consider it carefully."
"Very well. By the way, Miss Xu, are you also here for the auction?" He Tianzu was no fool; since Xu Shilan had not agreed outright, he would not press her—there were, after all, any number of ways to court a woman—and so he turned smoothly to another topic.
"I'm just looking around," Xu Shilan answered. (Next week Yuren will share some material images from the The Blossom Guardian game on WeChat; please keep an eye on yuren22.) RS
