Chapter 4668 — You Have a Five-Element Constitution

"I don't know her exact identity either—just a woman who was transported from the mortal world to the East Continent." Huo Yudie blinked. Whether that was the whole truth or a partial one, there was no telling.
"What?!" At these words, even the usually imperturbable Wei Zhao could not keep his expression from changing. Only a handful of people had ever been transported from the mortal world to Cloud Terrace Island. There were enemies and unrelated outsiders among them, to be sure, but since the person was a woman, the range of possibilities was already very small. It might even be one of the women close to him!
Of all the destinations from the mortal world to Cloud Terrace Island, the best for a woman was the West Island, followed by the North Island and the Central Island. If one drew the shortest straw of all, it would be the chaotic South Continent or the mighty, mysterious East Continent.
Wang Xinyan had only enjoyed smooth sailing because she was lucky enough to encounter the Divine Nun of the East Sea. Otherwise, thrown into that pack-of-wolves academy, who knew how wretched her lot would have been.
At this thought, Wei Zhao could not help tensing up, because the mortal-world woman the other party spoke of might well be one of his own confidantes. Otherwise, she would hardly have mentioned him, still less his five-element constitution.
Wei Zhao drew a deep breath, steadied himself a little, and then asked, "What's her name?"
"That I don't know either. I only know that after she was transported to the East Continent, she was lucky enough at first—she was selected and admitted to our Chenjiao Women's Academy, just as she wished. But her situation afterward was not so good." Huo Yudie watched Wei Zhao's shifting expression as she spoke.
"Not so good how?" Wei Zhao's heart tightened slightly.
"Because before long she offended someone she shouldn't have—the granddaughter of one of our Chenjiao Academy's vice-headmasters. So a charge was trumped up against her and she was thrown into the dungeon. After harsh interrogation and torture, she told everything she could and everything she shouldn't have. That's how I came to know about you." Huo Yudie's tone was frank.
"What!" Wei Zhao was startled again. He had guessed that a place like the East Continent was a den of dragons and tigers, and that even entering an academy was no exception. He asked urgently, "Then where is she now? What does she look like?"
"How would I know? I never paid her any attention at first, and by the time I did, she had already been beaten beyond recognition. Of course I couldn't see clearly." Huo Yudie shook her head.
"This..." Wei Zhao was suddenly frantic with worry. If this woman were just some outsider with no connection to him, it would be one thing—but the trouble was, she was very likely one of his own confidantes!
Hearing all this, how could Wei Zhao possibly stay calm? It was only because he had not brought his spirit bird this time that he did not, in his agitation, fly straight from the West Island to the East Continent!
Seeing the undisguisable tension on Wei Zhao's face, it was now Huo Yudie's turn to be somewhat taken aback. All she cared about was the matter of the five-element constitution; she had never expected the other party to be so flustered. Could there be more to this than met the eye? (To be continued.)
