Chapter 3548 — Zhong Yongliang Becomes a Lackey
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
So this was the Heavenly Way? So this was Foundation Establishment? Wei Zhao felt that even if he were to face a peak Heaven-rank expert unleashing his full power, he could slay him with ease—no need at all for the old sneak attacks and instant kills!
This was the sheer gap in tiers between levels of absolute power!
Phew—Wei Zhao let out a breath of relief and hurriedly kept circulating the mnemonic of his inner art to consolidate his strength. He discovered that ever since Wang Xinyan broke through to peak Heaven-rank, the energy she supplied him had
grown even more formidable!
The night passed without a word. Wei Zhao told no one that he had set foot upon the Heavenly Way; such a thing he had no wish to broadcast, for it would only make him a target for all.
Yesterday, Zhong Yongliang had stood firmly behind Wei Zhao. Though Wei Zhao was somewhat surprised, he was more inclined to think that Zhong Yongliang had done so only because he himself had helped Zhang Naipao; so now, when he had Zhong Yongliang come into the room, his attitude was hardly warm.
After all, the debt of gratitude to Zhong Yongliang had been repaid in full, and so the two of them were still in a state of hostility.
"Zhong Yongliang, what have you come for?" Wei Zhao asked flatly.
"Leader Wei Zhao, isn't it because I admire you enormously and have come to pledge my loyalty? Paozi, quick—call him Leader!" Zhong Yongliang said to Zhang Naipao.
"Leader Wei Zhao, please accept this humble little brother's bow!" Zhang Naipao was utterly convinced by Wei Zhao; even though Zhong Yongliang had told him to acknowledge Wei Zhao as leader and he would have done so anyway, he would never have done it so willingly.
Still, Wei Zhao had helped Zhang Naipao before, and Zhang Naipao was grateful for it; now that Zhong Yongliang had told him to do this, it all followed naturally. Add to that the fact that Zhang Naipao now knew the reason, and so he was not surprised either.
"What are you two playing at? Are you out of your minds?" Wei Zhao looked at Zhong Yongliang with some puzzlement.
"Oh, Little Liangzi, you've finally come around? You're finally going to be Brother Arrow-Shield's lackey? I told you long ago you'd end up as Brother Arrow-Shield's lackey—see, you've finally become one!" Shen Yushu said smugly.
"Indeed, Sister Xiaoshu, please look after me from now on!" Ever since Zhong Yongliang learned Wei Zhao's identity, he had not the slightest thought of resistance left.
"Zhong Yongliang, are you serious?" Wei Zhao had realized that Zhong Yongliang did not seem to be joking.
"Of course I'm serious—I mean it from the bottom of my heart! Besides, back then I promised Hero Lin of the Twin Vajras that I would serve as a follower to his descendants. Young Hero Lin is Hero Lin's descendant, so naturally I must acknowledge you as my leader!" Zhong Yongliang explained.
"Hero Lin of the Twin Vajras—who do you mean?" Wei Zhao was rather baffled.
"Why, Hero Lin Dongfang, of course..." Zhong Yongliang was taken aback as well. Could it be that Wei Zhao did not know of Lin Dongfang's deeds from back in the day? But on second thought, it was quite possible—otherwise, with Wei Zhao merely dropping a casual word, who would have dared to oppose him? That would truly be courting death!
"Lin Dongfang? The old man? My grandfather?" Wei Zhao was somewhat astonished.
"Uh... yes." Zhong Yongliang confirmed that Wei Zhao truly did not know. "Then you must know the other one of the Twin Vajras, Hero Yang?"
"Hero Yang? Who? My master, Yang Zhao?" Wei Zhao was stunned for a moment.
"Ah, Hero Yang was Leader Wei Zhao's master—no wonder Leader Wei Zhao is so formidable!" Zhong Yongliang was startled. That Lin Dongfang was connected to Wei Zhao had already shocked him enough; now it turned out that Yang Zhao was actually Wei Zhao's master?
