Chapter 3464 — A Heavy Heart

"Xiao Jiu, you came too?" Wei Zhao adjusted his mood, and after getting into the car with Yang Qiqi, greeted Xiao Jiu.
"I'm leaving soon, so I wanted one more look at this island where the three of us lived together for so many years as children... Who knows when I'll be able to come back after I leave! And even if I do, my family might not let me stay on X Island—they might keep me at the Huangtu Gao Sect..." A shade of sorrow flickered in Xiao Jiu's eyes.
Xiao Jiu's words drew a faint sigh from Wei Zhao. Indeed, Xiao Jiu's rejection of the Huangtu Gao Sect was like Yu Ning's rejection of the hidden Yu family! But in the end, these were their homes; though they said they hated them, after some time had passed, they would still want to return!
Wei Zhao gave a dry laugh and did not take up that thread, turning instead to Yang Qiqi. "Qiqi, the Overseas Cultivators Association hasn't come looking for trouble with you since, have they?"
This time Wei Zhao had become a sworn enemy of the Overseas Cultivators Association, and he truly feared they might reach out to Yang Qiqi.
"No, I haven't gone back for a while now, and they haven't come looking for me on their own," Yang Qiqi said, shaking her head.
"That's good..." Wei Zhao nodded.
Happy days are always fleeting. During his few days on X Island, Wei Zhao took Yang Qiqi and Xiao Jiu to revisit old haunts, touring the whole island thoroughly, and made them mud fish and many other childhood delicacies...
And the day of Xiao Jiu's departure was drawing near! Tu Bawang flew to X Island, and that morning, Wei Zhao and the others met the long-unseen Tu Bawang at the airport.
Tu Bawang was still thrilled to see Wei Zhao. "Brother-in-law leader, hello there! So happy to see you, I've missed you to death. I heard you went to Huoyan Mountain a few days ago and cured Yang Shuizhen?"
Tu Bawang's words came like a string of firecrackers, packed with information, leaving Wei Zhao no time to answer!
"Xiao Jiu, you've grown so pretty! Worthy of being Tu Bawang's little sister, wahahaha!" Seeing Xiao Jiu, Tu Bawang looked her up and down, very affectionate and very happy.
"..." Xiao Jiu rolled her eyes in exasperation. How had she ended up with a lunatic for a brother! Brother Wei Zhao, your leader, is so normal—couldn't you be a little normal too?
"Wow, you can roll your eyes, that's so cool!" Tu Bawang did not notice in the least that Xiao Jiu was annoyed with him, thinking she was playing with him, and chattered on...
And so, amid Tu Bawang's endless chatter, Wei Zhao and Xiao Jiu boarded the plane and set off for the Huangtu Gao Sect...
The plane rose slowly into the air. Wei Zhao did not know when he would return to this island after leaving this time. The new journey was drawing ever nearer, and all the preparations before seemed to have been for the opening of that ethereal Yunjie Island!
Although Wei Zhao and Xiao Jiu both received warm hospitality at the Huangtu Gao Sect—Wei Zhao especially, treated like a distinguished guest, with the whole sect, including Tu Bawang's father Tu Qingsong, showing him the utmost courtesy—Wei Zhao's heart was still heavy.
After a few days of fun at the Huangtu Gao Sect, Wei Zhao received a call from Guan Xin. Her father was preparing to arrange a blind date for her—and Wei Zhao, too, had to go back... RS
