Chapter 3264 — The Aftermath

"Understood." Yang Qiqi was a clever person, and she knew that Wei Zhao was saying this so she could keep helping him collect other materials. If she admitted this time that it was Wei Zhao who needed them, she would never be able to attend an auction again.
"That's all for now. Once I've settled in and the heat dies down, I'll head to X Island. We'll meet there." Wei Zhao said.
X Island was one of the places where Wei Zhao had lived as a child. His master and his master's wife were there—only, after his master left all those years ago, he had never been back to X Island again.
Wei Zhao, Xu Shilan, and Cheng Yiyi took advantage of the dark to reach a nearby small town. Because the three of them dared not reveal their real identities, they did not check into an inn. Instead, they chose a bathhouse. Bathhouses allowed guests to rest inside overnight without identity registration, which was very convenient.
And Wei Zhao's guess had been right. Before Yang Qiqi could even go to the Overseas Cultivators Association to admit a fault, its people came to her first! They wanted to ask her some questions!
However, when Yang Qiqi arrived at the Cultivators Association, President He Dantou was very courteous to her and did not mistreat her at all: "Yang Qiqi, please sit down. I called you here because there are some things I'd like to clarify!"
"President He, I'm sorry... it was my poor judgment in people. I never knew that Ling Yi was an enemy of our Overseas Cultivators Association..." Yang Qiqi said with great apology and self-reproach. "Please punish me, President He!"
"Qiqi, what are you doing!" He Dantou waved a hand. "I'm not here to condemn you. I know you didn't know—not knowing is no fault. I just want to understand the situation a little better!"
"Yes, President, please go ahead!" Yang Qiqi nodded.
"It's like this—how did you and Wei Zhao meet?" He Dantou asked.
"Ling Yi... that is, Wei Zhao—during the trials, he used the alias Ling Yi. In the Ice Palace trial, I was bullied by others. Wei Zhao probably thought I was a lone, helpless girl, so he stepped in and helped resolve my trouble." Yang Qiqi said. "Later, in the Xuandan Sect trial, he helped me as well... and so we became friends!"
He Dantou nodded after hearing this. It was much as he had guessed: Yang Qiqi and Wei Zhao could only be considered chance acquaintances and slightly better-than-average friends—no other connection. So he asked: "Then what did he come here to do this time?"
"He came here mainly to help Xu Shilan and Cheng Yiyi connect with an entertainment company for a collaboration. As the host, I naturally gave them some hospitality." Yang Qiqi said.
"And they went to the auction?" He Dantou continued to ask. (These few days I'm going back to my parents' home to spend time with family, so I'll only be able to write updates at night—just one chapter, sorry. I'll return to normal after I get home on Saturday. Tonight I'll release another mobile game character of the The Blossom Guardian as well; please follow Yuren's official WeChat at yuren22.) RS
