Chapter 3272 — Figuring It Out

"No need for that, then—I believe you," Xu Shilan said with a wave of her hand. "I'm just a little worried about Wei Zhao. Those people from the Overseas Cultivators Association—who knows whether they can track this place down?"
"Compared with the Overseas Cultivators Association, I'm actually more worried about those ancient sects," Cheng Yiyi said with a bitter smile. "The Overseas Cultivators Association is based overseas, after all. But those ancient sects—once Wei Zhao goes back, will they come looking to make trouble for him?"
"I don't know, but worrying won't do us any good. Wei Zhao himself must have his own plans by now, don't you think?" Xu Shilan still had more faith in Wei Zhao; she trusted that he would have thought things through.
"You're right. Our worrying... won't do any good." Cheng Yiyi shook her head with a bitter smile.
After Wei Zhao returned to his room, he put on the Thousand-Silk Mask, then, comparing it against the photo of Secretary Lu on his phone, began applying his makeup. With the Thousand-Silk Mask on, he looked remarkably like Secretary Lu; with a bit of disguise, he was confident that even Lute himself would not recognize him!
For Eastern faces, especially, looked much the same in the eyes of Westerners, so once Wei Zhao had finished his disguise, he was essentially foolproof! As for Secretary Lu's clothes, Wei Zhao had not managed to get hold of any—they were custom-made uniforms for the inside of the Conch Group, and he had no way of getting his hands on a set—so Wei Zhao decided to simply strip them off Secretary Lu himself tomorrow.
After all this was done, Wei Zhao took out his phone, hesitated a moment, and dialed Ge Xian's number.
"Boss, what made you think to call me?" Ge Xian picked up, somewhat excited. Truth be told, for a while now the ancient circles had been full of tales of Wei Zhao's prowess, and as Wei Zhao's underling, Ge Xian was rather proud of it. His boss was formidable, and that reflected well on the underling, didn't it? Even though no one knew he was Wei Zhao's underling, he was happy all the same!
"It's like this, Ge Xian. These past two days, have there been any rumors about me up in the ancient circles?" Wei Zhao asked after a moment's thought.
"Rumors about you, boss?" Ge Xian paused slightly, then said after a moment's thought, "No, none. If you mean rumors, there's still just the one about you killing the Black Horse Society's Grand Elder. Nothing beyond that."
"Oh? Is that so? Then keep an eye out for me—the moment any other rumors show up, notify me at once," Wei Zhao instructed. By the look of things, word of his business with the Overseas Cultivators Association had not yet made its way back to the ancient circles. Once it spread, the moment he returned would be the start of his troubles!
He was sure that even if the Xuandan Sect did not move against him, the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect and the Dongfang Clan certainly would—those two sects bore him the deepest grudges of all, feuds that were all but irreconcilable.
"Understood," Ge Xian replied.
In fact, at that very moment, with Xiao Yi's help, Kang Jingming had already uncovered some matters concerning Wei Zhao! Keeping secrets in the ancient circles from the Five Luminaries Sect was truly no easy task; from various scattered clues, Patriarch Xuanchen had already roughly pieced together a conclusion.
After hearing Xiao Yi and Kang Jingming's report, Patriarch Xuanchen frowned. The conclusion he had deduced left him somewhat shaken, and yet it was entirely reasonable: "So you're saying that whenever anyone from the Dongfang Clan, the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect, or the Black Horse Society met with trouble, the people of the Blood-Robed Yellow Springs Sect were nearby—is that right?"
