Chapter 4155 — Going to Verify
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Exactly so. Now that your esteemed sect knows Wei Zhao is the martial artist Ling Yi, you should act quickly. Otherwise, people will laugh at you, and that would hardly be a good thing," Si Haitao chimed in from the side.
"This..." Situ Guangzong did not answer directly. Only after exchanging a glance with Wei Feng did he say, "That may be so, but this matter must still be handled with caution. We must first find a way to verify it. Otherwise, Di Xingdao is not someone to be trifled with."
It was not only Nan Tianjiguang and the others who feared Di Xingdao; the Snow Sword Sect feared him just as much. The man's strength was outrageously formidable, and worse still, he stood high above as deputy island lord of Central Island. Even with the Snow Sword Sect's great wealth and power, should they rashly provoke such a fiend, they would likely still end up getting the worst of it.
"Verify it? How does your esteemed sect intend to verify it? Surely you are not going to make a special trip to the mortal realm to verify such a thing?" Nan Tianjiguang, Si Haitao, and Patriarch Xuanchen all frowned. Inwardly they thought: so the Snow Sword Sect's blade was indeed not so easy to borrow after all.
"That will not be necessary. The cost would be too great. Actually, to verify it, we need only pay a visit to the Tian Dan Pavilion and see whether we can find Xue Li there." Situ Guangzong smiled, then turned and instructed Wei Shenjin, "Shenjin, disguise yourself as a customer and take a look in the Tian Dan Pavilion. You need not do anything else. Just recognize the person and confirm it."
"Yes." Wei Shenjin nodded at once in acknowledgement.
"Grandfather, let me go too. I can cover for him," Situ Qian hurriedly volunteered from the side, unable to suppress the excitement and eagerness in her eyes. All her thoughts had now turned to Wei Zhao. If she could hook Wei Zhao for herself, then that ugly oaf Senior Brother Ma could be kicked aside.
True, Wei Zhao's martial artist appearance was rough and rugged, but it was quite fine as well!
Situ Guangzong saw no objection to this and nodded his consent at once, while Wei Shenjin sneered inwardly. He knew perfectly well what this slut was thinking. For a woman to be so wanton—truly, she was a one-of-a-kind specimen of shamelessness.
Outwardly, however, Wei Shenjin showed nothing. He put on a bamboo hat to cover his face, then went with Situ Qian to the Tian Dan Pavilion, while Situ Guangzong and Wei Feng stayed behind to continue entertaining Nan Tianjiguang and the others and to await news.
They exchanged no words along the way, and the two soon arrived at the Tian Dan Pavilion. The moment they stepped through the main doors, they saw Xue Li's busy figure at a glance. Though her face was veiled, her figure and bearing were enough for the two of them to recognize her instantly.
"It really is Xue Li!" Wei Shenjin's heart lurched. He had truly liked Xue Li back then, never imagining that so many twists and troubles would follow. Now everything had changed and the people were no longer the same, and he had fallen to the state of a cripple. It was enough to make one sigh with sorrow.
Seeing Wei Shenjin's gaze go fixed and transfixed, unable to tear his eyes from Xue Li's busy figure in the distance, Situ Qian pursed her lips and smiled. She felt not the slightest jealousy—after all, what was there to be jealous of when it came to a cripple?
"Brother Wei, didn't you like Xue Li? Then you may as well stay here and look at her a while longer. I will go take a look at that Ling Yi and examine him more carefully, so as not to wrong an innocent man!" Situ Qian said in a low voice, and without waiting for Wei Shenjin's reply, she abandoned him on her own and went off to find Wei Zhao by herself.
Wei Shenjin trembled all over with rage. In the past, before he had been crippled, Situ Qian would fly into a jealous fury even if he so much as glanced at another woman.
