Chapter 4155 — Going to Verify
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
But now, in Situ Qian's eyes, he was nothing more than a servant, a plaything, with no standing whatsoever. As for their nominal marriage, it brought him nothing but deeper wounds and humiliation.
Watching Situ Qian's seductive back as she swayed her hips away, Wei Shenjin clenched his fists hard but did not vent his anger. And when he looked again at Xue Li, he was no longer as agitated as before; he had grown much calmer and more indifferent.
Earlier, when Nan Tianjiguang and the others had been speaking of Wei Zhao, Patriarch Xuanchen had mentioned that Wei Zhao and Xue Li had already been together back in the mortal realm. In other words, he himself was the interloper who had barged in later—no wonder Wei Zhao had eloped with Xue Li back then.
Wei Shenjin was not an unreasonable man. Looking back now, he realized that it had been that wretched woman Situ Qian stirring the flames behind the scenes all along, blowing the matter out of proportion to profit from it, and that was what had driven him to oppose Wei Zhao and Xue Li. The source of all his tragedy lay with this slut—and now he was even suffering the shame of being cuckolded. This was beyond all endurance!
Wei Shenjin cast one distant glance at Xue Li, then turned and went to find Situ Qian. He wanted to see what this wretched woman intended to do to Wei Zhao. As for Xue Li, he no longer harbored any vain hopes.
Frankly speaking, Wei Shenjin's only wish now was to find a chance to do Situ Qian in, even if it meant perishing together with her. It was a pity that, given his present strength and circumstances, even this one wish would likely be very hard to fulfill without some extraordinary stroke of fortune.
Going up to the second floor of the Tian Dan Pavilion, they found no pills for sale here. Instead there were several private rooms, some for Wei Zhao and the others to lodge in, and others set aside especially for receiving guests.
Wei Shenjin saw at once that one of the doors was open, and as expected, Situ Qian's voice came from within. Without a word he held his breath, pressed himself against the wall, and quietly eavesdropped on the goings-on inside.
"This little woman is Situ Qian. I wonder whether Shopkeeper Lin still recognizes me?" Situ Qian said with a seductive, wanton smile, sizing up Wei Zhao's handsome true appearance from head to toe while secretly drooling inwardly. This look was far more pleasing than the rough, rugged martial artist appearance from before—who would have thought he was such a tender young morsel?
"Miss Situ must have mistaken me for someone else?" Wei Zhao raised an eyebrow slightly. He had been pondering how to nip this hidden danger, Situ Qian, in the bud, never expecting her to come straight to his door—and by the look of it, she even seemed to know his true identity already, which surprised him somewhat.
"How could I? I have always been a good judge of people and have never mistaken anyone. But if Shopkeeper Lin insists on playing dumb while knowing full well, then there is nothing I can do," Situ Qian continued, still eyeing him with greedy appraisal.
Wei Zhao gave her a cold look, and a restrained killing intent rose abruptly in his heart. He had already meant to find a way to eliminate this hidden danger, and now this woman dared to come to his door so brazenly to threaten him—she truly did not know how the word "death" was written.
"Since Shopkeeper Lin refuses to admit it honestly, then how about we make a deal? You are a businessman now, after all. Once you have heard me out, I believe you will certainly agree," Situ Qian said, wholly unaware of the danger, smiling as she edged closer to Wei Zhao. R1152
