"Good. I understand your situation. Rest assured, I will arrange everything," Kang Jingming said indifferently.
"Good, good—thank you, Elder Kang Changde! Then I'll wait to take up my post as an enforcer of the Xuandan Sect!" Zhao Qibing said hastily. With that, he hung up and hurried away.
Wei Zhao's face was expressionless, but inwardly he gave a cold laugh. It seemed his guess had been right on the mark—what had happened at the Dark Night Palace was indeed connected to Kang Jingming. That so-called bandit gang had plainly been sent by Kang Jingming; otherwise, why would Zhao Qibing be calling him?
The doubts that had lingered in Wei Zhao's mind gradually cleared. He had guessed some of Kang Jingming's intentions. Kang Jingming was so concerned about whether Wei Zhao had come to the Dark Night Palace—most likely his trouble-making there was not aimed at Gu Mengyao at all, but at Wei Zhao himself!
Between Wei Zhao and Kang Jingming and Xuan Xu Laozu lay a deep and bitter hatred. With Wei Zhao having revealed his strength abroad, it was impossible that Kang Jingming would not stir into action. Yet Wei Zhao had for a time not returned, leaving Kang Jingming no opportunity to make trouble for him. So, no doubt unable to contain himself any longer, he meant to use the affairs of the Dark Night Palace to draw Wei Zhao out!
For Kang Jingming knew that where Gu Mengyao was concerned, Wei Zhao could not possibly stand idly by. But how could he know that Wei Zhao had not been hiding abroad, but rather honing his strength and refining the jade pendant space?
And Wei Zhao had been fretting over the lack of a chance to display his new power—to become truly one who could slay experts at the peak of the late Heaven Rank in a single strike. Now Kang Jingming had delivered that chance right to his door!
So Wei Zhao had not made the slightest move to stop Zhao Qibing. Stop him—and who would carry the word back? Wei Zhao had not come here today fearing that some bandit gang would make trouble for him; his only fear was that they might not come!
If they did not come, would his trip not be in vain? He might even have to lodge here and wait for them—what a waste of time that would be. Wei Zhao had many things to do now. Once this matter was settled and these hostile forces suppressed, he planned to go find the Pangolin. The address of the poison-refining base was already in his hands; only the operation remained.
Not long after Zhao Qibing vanished, Gu Mengyao came drifting over. To Wei Zhao's surprise, in so short a time apart, Gu Mengyao had already become an expert at the early Earth Rank!
"Yao'er, I never imagined your strength would improve so quickly!" Looking at that familiar face before him, Wei Zhao revealed a faint smile.
"Wei Zhao..." Gu Mengyao had missed him dearly too. Only after they parted had she realized how important he was in her heart. In all this time without seeing him, a thousand words had welled up inside her—yet at this moment, they melted into those two soft syllables.
Yes, the young lady had always been like this—cold on the outside, warm within. To make her voice some sentimental confession of how she had missed Wei Zhao was beyond her, even if her heart ached with longing. (To be continued)
