Chapter 3351 — Think It Over
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Brother, I've cultivated my true qi. Can we go now?" Though Yu Xiaoke scowled at Wei Zhao on the surface, in truth she knew he had come here on serious business, and she did not want to waste his time.
"Yes, we can." Yu Dake was rather surprised. He had not expected Yu Xiaoke to be so gifted at cultivation. When he himself had first cultivated, it had taken him a full half month to produce true qi—and even that was considered fast. Yu Xiaoke had been quicker still!
Wei Zhao, too, was somewhat surprised by Yu Xiaoke's speed. Though outsiders regarded him as a cultivation prodigy who could fight above his level, Wei Zhao knew very well that without the jade pendant's space, his progress would never have been so swift.
"Xiaoke, there's something I want to tell you," Wei Zhao said suddenly in the car.
"What is it?" Yu Xiaoke asked.
"You probably know about the old director's situation, don't you? If you agree, I can raise your strength directly to peak late Earth rank, the same as your brother's," Wei Zhao said. "That way, you'd be spared the hardship of cultivating."
"Hm?" Yu Xiaoke was genuinely tempted by Wei Zhao's words, but she was suspicious of his motives. Wary, she said, "When someone fawns on you for no reason, he's either a traitor or a thief. What are you up to?"
"A traitor or a thief? You're the thief here, aren't you—Heroine Yan of the Flying Swallow Sect?" Wei Zhao could not help but smile wryly at her words.
"Heroine Yan?" Yu Xiaoke froze, staring at Wei Zhao with an odd look. "How do you know I'm called Heroine Yan?"
To be honest, Yu Xiaoke was utterly baffled. Heroine Yan was merely an alias she had used when carrying out missions for the Thief Sect. She had never told Wei Zhao, nor even her brother Yu Dake. How did Wei Zhao know? Had the old director told him?
If anyone knew, it could only be the old director—but why would the old director tell Wei Zhao such a thing?
"Don't change the subject. I'm only asking what you think. If you don't want to, then forget it," Wei Zhao said mildly. On the surface he was perfectly calm, but inwardly he was smiling bitterly—careless again, he had said the wrong thing!
"I..." Yu Xiaoke wanted to say she didn't want to, but did she truly not? She did want to rise to the top in a single step—what cultivator would not want greater strength at once? Yet she could not bring herself to say yes outright.
"How about this—think it over." Wei Zhao paused there. (To be continued)
