After this, it would probably be Xiaoshu's turn, wouldn't it? Xiaoshu's time at this school was running short as well...
But once he arrived at the school, Wei Zhao suddenly discovered that there was no one there at all!
"Right—it's the holidays..." Wei Zhao gave a self-mocking bitter smile. "Why didn't any of you remind me?"
"Huh? Oh?" Shen Yushu lifted her head. "Arrowhead Bro, where are we going?"
Hearing Shen Yushu's words, Wei Zhao could not help but smile. It seemed that these past few days it was not only he whose heart had been heavy and who had gotten things muddled—Xiaoshu was the same. She had clearly had no idea they were going to the school at all; she had simply followed Wei Zhao out in a daze.
"It's nothing. We just came out for a drive." Wei Zhao shrugged.
"I... I was unconscious so long I lost track of time. I thought school had started..." Wang Xinyan felt a little embarrassed too.
"All right, let's go home." Wei Zhao smiled and started the car...

At the Overseas Cultivators Association, He Dantou had received an invitation to this year's Heaven Rank Trial Assembly as well—and he was the first to receive one. As the younger brother of Ancestor Xuanchen, acting sect master of the Five Luminaries Sect, Ancestor Xuanchen had notified him only out of their family connection. In truth, Ancestor Xuanchen held out no hope at all that He Dantou would send anyone to attend; after all, the journey was long, and the rewards of the Heaven Rank Trial Assembly were hardly enough to move He Dantou.
Yet He Dantou truly was moved!
What moved him, of course, was not the rewards or anything of the sort—it was that Wei Zhao would be attending this Heaven Rank Trial Assembly!
This was stated in a family letter Ancestor Xuanchen had appended to the back of the invitation. Ancestor Xuanchen intended to send his disciple Xiao Er and Tian Candou, the young master of the Xuandan Sect, to strike together and kill Wei Zhao!
Wei Zhao—He Dantou could be said to hate him to the bone. So he, too, wanted a part in what Ancestor Xuanchen had proposed.
"Elder Wang, go and call Song Keqing here. I have something to discuss with her," He Dantou said after pondering for a moment.
"Huh? Song Keqing? President, are you perhaps planning to have her..." Elder Wang had also seen Ancestor Xuanchen's invitation and family letter, and knew something of He Dantou's thinking.
"Yes. I've thought it over and over, and Song Keqing is the only one somewhat familiar with the Central Plains, and her strength is beyond question."
He Dantou nodded.
"But Song Keqing agreed to do three things for our Overseas Cultivators Association. She has already done two, and only one remains..." Elder Wang sighed. "If Song Keqing hadn't owed us a favor from back in the Global Assassin Devil Trial Competition, she never would have agreed to those three things. But now only the last one is left, President He—are you certain you want to send Song Keqing?"
