Chapter 3309 — Gu Mengyao's Plea
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Looking at the incoming call on the screen, Wei Zhao could not help but start slightly! It was Gu Mengyao calling. He was puzzled—how did Gu Mengyao know he had already returned? Could Xiaoshu have told her? No, that couldn't be—Xiaoshu had come out the moment she saw him return. Could it be Wang Xinyan?
But Wang Xinyan was not as alert as Xiaoshu; she ought to be asleep at this hour. Otherwise she would certainly have come downstairs, and there would have been no chance for her to call Gu Mengyao!
"Hello, Yao Yao?" Whatever the case, Wei Zhao answered the phone first.
"Wei Zhao, where are you? Have you come back?" Gu Mengyao's voice was tense and urgent—understandably so. If Wei Zhao was still abroad, there would likely be no time for him to rush back.
"I just got home—I'm in the courtyard talking with Xiaoshu. Why are you calling me at this hour?" Wei Zhao was somewhat puzzled. Gu Mengyao did not know where he was, so it seemed no one had told her.
"Wei Zhao, something has happened at the Dark Night Palace..." Gu Mengyao did not conceal anything. From Kang Jingming bringing men to propose marriage to the three bandits at the peak of the late Heaven Rank who had come today to raid the Dark Night Palace, she told Wei Zhao everything.
Hearing that Kang Jingming had popped up again, Wei Zhao could not help but frown, a surge of anger rising within him. It seemed this creature still could not keep quiet—upon hearing news from abroad, he had finally been unable to restrain himself and had come out to make trouble again!
The young sect master of the Xuandan Sect was to take Gu Mengyao as his wife? At least, Wei Zhao did not quite believe it. After all, he had learned from Kang Xiaofeng and Xiao Taohong that the Heavenly Silkworm Transformation was not a bad man—and moreover, the Heavenly Silkworm Transformation had helped Wei Zhao several times. How could Wei Zhao believe that the Heavenly Silkworm Transformation would do such a thing?
It was probably instigated by the Xuan Dust Ancestor and Kang Jingming, was it not? Still, that Kang Jingming had married Xiao Shiyi surprised Wei Zhao. Back then, Xiao Taohong had only said that Kang Jingming had deserted her after having his way, and had not given the specific identities of the Xuan Dust Ancestor and Xiao Shiyi. So now, learning that Kang Jingming was the Xuan Dust Ancestor's son-in-law, Wei Zhao was utterly shocked!
Those two had actually colluded together? Both were utterly vile people—what good could come of them joining forces?
Wei Zhao gave a cold laugh, though. He had been worrying that upon his return he would have no chance to reestablish his prestige. Now the various factions were stirring restlessly. If he did not once again establish his fearsome name with the force of thunder, then by the time those enemies joined forces to come for him, it would be too late!
Though Wei Zhao now held a new trump card, it was absolutely impossible for him to face several experts at once. And now this raiding band had delivered itself to his door—just the targets for Wei Zhao to make an example of!
Especially since this band of raiders nominally belonged to no faction at all. Even if Wei Zhao killed one or two of them, he would not incur any great vendetta.
