Chapter 4025 — A Daring Move
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Hearing this, Wei Zhao smiled at once. "Don't say there's only some chance. Even if there were merely a one-in-ten chance, I would still have to try this time. If I can't kill Zheng Tianjie when such a rare opportunity has presented itself, then once he returns to Middle Island, I will have even less of a chance."
Even if it was only for Tian Chan's sake, Wei Zhao had to find a way to kill Zheng Tianjie today. Otherwise, if Zheng Tianjie returned and forced Tian Chan into an engagement, Wei Zhao would be far away on North Island and unable to help her in the slightest. How could he then call himself Tian Chan's man?
Holding his breath and concealing his presence with utmost care, Wei Zhao secretly searched the Gathering Hall from one end to the other, but failed to discover Zheng Tianjie's whereabouts. Of course, that was because he had not dared approach too closely.
After all, even setting the Northern Guard aside, the people residing in the Gathering Hall were themselves an impressive collection of experts. There was no shortage of Golden Core experts alone. With Wei Zhao's strength, getting too close would be nothing short of courting death.
But if he continued searching without finding anyone, Wei Zhao would have no choice but to take a risk.
Just then, several people emerged from the main entrance of the Gathering Hall and hurried toward a building opposite the guest quarters. Judging by the familiar sign, it appeared to be an alchemy room specially prepared for guests. Wei Zhao had borrowed one before, though that had been an alchemy room outside the Gathering Hall.
Wei Zhao's heart stirred. He had searched everywhere else just now, yet the alchemy room alone had escaped his notice. Could Zheng Tianjie be inside?
It would not have been strange. The reason he had competed with Wei Zhao for that ten-piece weapon-refining set during the day was to obtain one of the materials needed to refine a fourth-grade Beauty Enhancing Pill and curry favor with Tian Chan. It made perfect sense that he would be refining pills through the night.
Sure enough, after those people waited outside for a short while, the door of the alchemy room opened. The person who emerged was none other than Zheng Tianjie.
"What the hell is wrong with your efficiency? You're only investigating the background of some bumpkin, yet with our Pill Hall's intelligence network, you still need this long? You're a bunch of useless fools and good-for-nothings! Thank heavens I haven't begun refining the Beauty Enhancing Pill yet. If you had disturbed me halfway through and caused the refinement to fail, making Junior Sister Tian Chan disappointed in me, could you bear the responsibility?"
The group hunched their necks and did not dare talk back. They let Zheng Tianjie berate them for a while, and only after his anger had subsided did they follow him to a room not far from the alchemy room, where they reported what they had discovered.
Seeing this, Wei Zhao did not follow them to eavesdrop. After a brief moment of thought, he flashed into the alchemy room instead.
From Zheng Tianjie's words just now, it was easy to tell that after hearing their report, the man would certainly return to refine the Beauty Enhancing Pill. For Wei Zhao, this was practically a heaven-sent opportunity.
He slipped silently into the alchemy room. It was empty, but all around him lay an abundance of precious materials. Four display cabinets stood packed to the brim, every item a rare treasure seldom seen outside. Wei Zhao could not help swallowing hard. R1152
