Chapter 4156 — But On What Grounds?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Correct. Since I have already come all the way here, I imagine Shopkeeper Lin is well aware that your identity as the martial artist Ling Yi has been exposed. There is no use pretending in front of me anymore, because I am not the first to learn this information. The one who truly saw through you was actually an old rival you provoked back in the mortal realm—Nan Tianjiguang, Xuanchen, and those people. Now do you understand what I mean?" Situ Qian's gaze toward Wei Zhao grew all the more brazen.
In her eyes, now that Wei Zhao's secret identity had been confirmed, he was already fresh meat fallen into her mouth, with no way to escape.
"What do you mean?" Wei Zhao remained unmoved on the surface, but the killing intent in his heart surged like towering waves. He truly had not expected that Nan Tianjiguang and the others had actually joined forces with the Snow Sword Sect!
Now the problem he faced was no longer a mere hidden danger. One misstep, and this matter could very well escalate into a fatal threat. Even with Di Xingdao shielding him, the opposing side consisted of Nan Tianjiguang and the Snow Sword Sect, whose strength was equally not to be underestimated.
Wei Zhao had even decided at this moment to temporarily refrain from returning to North Island. Unless this crisis was properly resolved, he would not feel at ease leaving Tian Chan and Xue Li, the two women, here and going back alone.
"My meaning is very simple. Although they now have some suspicions about your identity, they have not fully confirmed it. My visit this time is to scout and verify. So you need not be afraid. As long as you obediently do as I say, I can cover for you when I return, and then no one will know you are the martial artist Ling Yi. How about that?" Situ Qian's seductive body drew even closer to Wei Zhao as she said with greedy relish, "Rest assured, I won't force you to do anything dangerous, nor will I let you suffer a loss. It will only be those things that men and women both enjoy."
As she spoke, Situ Qian reached out to hook her arm around Wei Zhao's neck, while her body also leaned into his embrace. Though it was broad daylight, though the voices below still clamored loudly, she could no longer wait to have a go with Wei Zhao—this only made it more thrilling, more to her taste!
But Wei Zhao pushed her away with one hand and looked at her coldly. "Miss Situ, you have indeed mistaken me for someone else. I am not any martial artist Ling Yi."
"Oh-ho? Still quibbling even at this point? Wei Zhao, you truly won't give up until you see the Yellow River!" Situ Qian flew into a rage at once, pointing at Wei Zhao's nose. "Fine! Wei Zhao, just you wait. When our Snow Sword Sect drags you back, we'll see who can save you then!"
Seeing Wei Zhao still unmoved, Situ Qian paused, then softened her tone and urged him with bitter earnestness, "Wei Zhao, think it through. Sooner or later you will be mine, but by then you will be reduced to a male concubine with no status at all. Do not refuse a face-saving offer. It is not too late to change your mind now. If you agree, I will go back and find a way to do away with Wei Shenjin, and then we shall be married..."
Outside the room, Wei Shenjin heard all this and was furious beyond measure. If he had the strength, he would have charged in right then and strangled this shameless, poisonous woman to death with his own hands!
Unfortunately, he was now a cripple with no strength at all, unable even to take her down with him. He could only choose to keep enduring in silence.
"Enough. You can stop talking now. I am not the martial artist Ling Yi you are looking for, so please go back, Miss Situ," Wei Zhao interrupted without the slightest courtesy.
