Chapter 3438 — A Chance Encounter on the Street
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
In truth, Wei Zhao was accompanying Qiu Lingshan on a shopping trip today, because Qiu Lingshan had asked him to take her out for a walk. After all, Wei Zhao could not stay at the Song family forever—he would have to go back. Shen Yushu was about to head to the Flaming Mountain, and Wei Zhao had promised to take her there, so he too needed to leave.
Qiu Lingshan, for her part, simply wanted to find a taste of romance. Her relationship with Wei Zhao had been rather bumpy—she had been the one chasing him for the most part. Although Wei Zhao had later accepted her, Qiu Lingshan always felt that her relationship with him fell far short of Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, Wang Xinyan, Tang Zhi, and Feng Xiaoxiao—she was not even as close to him as Sun Jingyan. So Qiu Lingshan wanted to deepen their bond a little!
Since Qiu Lingshan rarely made such a request, Wei Zhao naturally agreed.
In truth, Qiu Lingshan was not the sort of girl who loved shopping and buying things. She had come out this time merely for a feeling—as the saying goes, she did not care what they bought while shopping, only who she was shopping with!
The two of them wandered aimlessly along the street. The goods on display were dazzling in their variety, yet Qiu Lingshan paid them little mind, simply walking along with Wei Zhao as they chatted about the amusing things that had happened when they first met in Songshan City.
Though only a year had passed, it felt as if a very long time had gone by, and as they talked, both of them were overcome with sighs of emotion!
As they were walking, someone suddenly came toward them head-on, and Wei Zhao paused slightly. Qiu Lingshan was startled too, for they had not seen this person in a long while!
"Ha, isn't this Leader Wei Zhao? What a coincidence—what are you doing here?" Kang Jingming, catching sight of Wei Zhao, hurried over in great surprise to greet him.
"Kang Jingming? Weren't you at the Xuandan Sect and the Five Luminaries Sect? What are you doing all the way out here?" Wei Zhao was rather puzzled about Kang Jingming's purpose in coming, though wherever this fellow went, no good ever came of it!
"Oh, I just went home to put on a bit of a show, then came to Yanjing to have a look around, make some connections, drum up a little business!" Kang Jingming shrugged. "I'm part of the Five Luminaries Sect and the Xuandan Sect now—quite the big shot—but things aren't going so well back home. The pill business has been hit hard by your Medicine Cauldron, so there's no way to make it work. I've got a lot of stock piling up. I can only see about contacting some auction houses and selling those pills off to the secular world!"
"Oh, is that so?" Kang Jingming spoke with such conviction that it almost sounded like the truth, but no matter how you looked at it, this fellow did not seem like an honest man. Still, these matters had little to do with Wei Zhao, so he merely said, "What about my pills? When are you going to give them to me? I'm already at the peak of the mid-Heaven rank—if you don't give them to me soon, I'll hit the level cap and they'll be useless to me. You might as well keep them for your own collection!"
"Uh... you've leveled up again?" Kang Jingming was taken aback. He had not expected Wei Zhao to advance yet again—he was already an expert at the peak of the mid-Heaven rank!
"Enough of the nonsense. When are you giving me the pills?" Wei Zhao asked.
"This... how about next time? They're almost fully refined, but I didn't bring them with me. I had no idea I'd run into you here, so I wasn't prepared!" Kang Jingming said.
