Chapter 3354 — There Is More to This Than Meets the Eye
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Having said this much, Gu'erzi no longer cared about the rest. What he wanted was simple: if Patriarch Xuanchen would help them take revenge, nothing could be better.
"What?" At the words "the man driving the Grand Cherokee" and "together with people surnamed Yu," Patriarch Xuanchen understood at once—wasn't that Wei Zhao?! Hearing this, Patriarch Xuanchen was so furious he wanted to swear. **Damn it all—if I could** kill Wei Zhao, **I'd have done it long ago!** Would I have needed to set the Palan clan on him? At this thought, Patriarch Xuanchen said angrily, "I can't avenge you. Run for your lives. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up!"
With that, Patriarch Xuanchen hung up outright and paid Gu'erzi no further mind. In his eyes, the man was a discarded piece—why should he care whether they lived or died?
"Hello? Master? Hello, hello? Moshi moshi?" Gu'erzi held the phone, his face a picture of despair...

Tuo'ertu had been badly wounded, but he was, after all, a consummate expert at the peak of the late Heaven rank; his injuries were not enough to rob him of his ability to move. Black of mood as he was, he forced himself into the ancient castle and came before his father, Tuo'er Riyue.
"Tuo'ertu, what's happened to you? You're wounded?" Tuo'er Riyue started violently at the sight of him and asked at once.
"Father, I'm crippled... just like you..." Tuo'ertu had already examined his own meridians; he knew that he had become the same as his father—a ruined man.
"What?! How? What on earth happened?" Tuo'er Riyue was shocked. He sprang to his feet and demanded.
"It was that man called Wei Zhao... To think that a mid Heaven-rank expert could not only dodge my strike, but counterattack and wound me so gravely..." Tuo'ertu was thoroughly despondent. Truly, he had gone out for wool and come home shorn!
"What? That Wei Zhao is that formidable?" Tuo'er Riyue's face darkened at the news, and he turned an angry glare on Kang Jingming and Xiao Yi beside him.
Kang Jingming did not much care whether Tuo'ertu lived or died; what he cared about was whether Wei Zhao was dead yet. So, with a sigh, he said, "I told you long ago—this man can fight opponents above his own rank, and his strength is extraordinary. And what did you do? You sent a single man to kill him? Whom have you to blame but yourselves?"
"That..." Tuo'er Riyue was struck dumb by Kang Jingming's words and could not speak. Indeed, the man had warned them beforehand: this one can fight above his rank, so take care! It was not that they had not been told—it was that they had paid no heed at all!
"Tuo'ertu, what exactly happened? Is there something more to this than meets the eye?" Tuo'er Riyue asked in a low voice after entering. His mood was foul indeed: his own injuries had not healed, and now Tuo'ertu too was crippled. Truly, these were ill-starred times!
"Father, this business... we never should have gotten involved at all!" Tuo'ertu sighed helplessly. "Do you know who it was Kang Jingming wanted to kill?"
"Who?" Tuo'er Riyue was startled.
