Chapter 3459 — Waiting for Them to Come Knocking
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Mm... not bad!" Kun Cun thought to himself, though. If Pu Huotai had not been Pu Nimei's disciple, but just an ordinary disciple, then if Wei Zhao truly could offer sufficient terms in exchange, it would not be out of the question!
After settling Ergoudan and Yu Yuanyuan in, Wei Zhao called Ergoudan alone into his room. He meant to tell Ergoudan about Kun Cun, but Yu Yuanyuan should not be involved; better not to tell her about this sort of infighting in the cultivation world.
"Boss, you wanted to see me?" Ergoudan asked as he came in. He had already vaguely sensed that Wei Zhao had some business on this trip to Southeast Asia, only Wei Zhao had not said so, and he had not asked along the way.
"Mm, here's the thing. My classmate was seized and brought here by the Right Miao Sect..." Wei Zhao then recounted the whole affair of Bai Weituo, as well as his own grudge with Pu Huotai...
"Boss Wei Zhao, what's the difference between this Pu Huotai and that Li Quanshi from before? Seizing women by force—if it were me, I'd have killed him with one punch too!" Ergoudan was instantly furious, because that Li Quanshi back then had also tried to take Yu Yuanyuan by force.
"Tonight he may come looking for me. When that happens, don't be rash. Find your chance and strike from the shadows—understand? With your current stamina, you can only manage three strikes, so don't make a move lightly. Save it where you can—understand?" Wei Zhao instructed Ergoudan.
"Don't worry, boss, I know!" Ergoudan nodded. "I definitely won't throw punches carelessly. I still plan to spend plenty of time playing with Yuanyuan! If I fall ill, I'll have to go straight back!"
Wei Zhao nodded, and they began chatting about other everyday matters. Yu Yuanyuan knew that Ergoudan had finally gotten to see Wei Zhao and surely had things to say, so she went to sleep first rather than wait up for him.
Night fell.
Just as Wei Zhao had guessed, Kun Cun came to the Seedling Grand Hotel with Pu Nimei. With Pu Nimei's hot temper, she could not wait a single moment.
"They're here!" Wei Zhao's expression shifted slightly as he spoke to Ergoudan.
Wei Zhao's extraordinarily powerful spiritual perception could sense the approach of Kun Cun and Pu Nimei. Though he could not be certain that one of the two was Kun Cun, he clearly sensed that they came with ill intent!
"Boss, I'm all ready. It's just an ambush, right!" Ergoudan had lately grown much shrewder. No help for it—being too foolish only got him bullied by Yu Yuanyuan, so he had no choice but to smarten up a bit.
"Mm." Wei Zhao nodded and sat on the sofa without betraying a thing, waiting.
Sure enough, before long urgent knocking came at the door!
"Your own hotel should have key cards, shouldn't it? Open it yourselves, I'm rather tired," Wei Zhao said mildly toward the door.
"Hm?" Kun Cun was momentarily taken aback; he had not expected Wei Zhao to say such a thing! Out of courtesy he had merely knocked casually—who would have thought that Wei Zhao, on the verge of death, would still refuse a face-saving gesture! He was instantly somewhat angered and truly wanted to kick the door to pieces, but then he thought: this hotel belongs to my own family, and if I kick it apart I'll have to pay to fix it myself. So Kun Cun restrained himself!
Only, when he and Pu Nimei had come upstairs, they had not considered this problem at all—they had no key cards either! As the mighty sect master of the Right Miao Sect, it was hardly realistic for him to carry a key card around with him every day!
"I didn't bring a key card. Open up," Kun Cun said, forcing down his anger.
"Then kick it open yourself. You're a cultivator, after all—child's play for you," Wei Zhao said flatly.
"You... very well!" Kun Cun drew a deep breath. He knew Wei Zhao was certainly doing it on purpose, toying with him, but even knowing that, he had no recourse but to think of a way to retaliate against Wei Zhao even more viciously later.
