Chapter 4746 — I Do...
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Bitch! Bitch! Bitch!" Ren Zhongyuan was so furious that smoke seemed to rise from his head. Gritting his teeth, he stared at Wei Zhao and Huo Yudie, that pair of filthy dogs. At this moment only two thoughts filled his mind: kill Wei Zhao, then rape that bitch Huo Yudie before killing her!
Unfortunately, this was West Island territory, and moreover a side courtyard of the palace under the eyes of the crowd. However great Ren Zhongyuan's fury, he could only swallow it back for now; otherwise, at the slightest move, the first to suffer would be himself.
"Brother Ren, don't be hasty. Getting even doesn't have to mean fighting and killing. I have a way to make that pair of filthy dogs lose face in public and let you vent your hatred!" Li Yuzhou said, rolling his eyes as he offered his counsel.
"You really have a way?" Ren Zhongyuan's eyes were still shooting fire, but he had at least some reason left. Hearing this, he turned to look at him.
Li Yuzhou nodded repeatedly and whispered it into his ear. Ren Zhongyuan nodded again and again as he listened, his face full of venomous hatred. "Good. We'll do as you say. Today let everyone get a good look at the true face of that pair of filthy dogs, and afterward I'll find a chance to finish them off!"
As the several of them spoke, Ning Shanghe had already begun publicly announcing the results. Though there was no suspense, the formalities still had to be observed: "Everyone, after cross-evaluation by the panel of judges, I, as Island Master, formally declare the final victor of this West Island Trial to be Wei Zhao, from North Island!"
There was no cheering or uproar—only that everyone's gaze toward Wei Zhao was filled with envy. Kang Jingming in particular looked on with boundless malice. Since the West Island Trial had a winner, what followed now was the even more important main event.
"According to the rules set at the earlier birthday banquet, the victor of this West Island Trial may become my daughter's future husband. Wei Zhao, are you willing?" Ning Shanghe's gaze fell upon Wei Zhao, carrying a trace of barely perceptible delight—after all, this was the candidate she had long favored. To call him a dragon among men would be no exaggeration. Rarer still, he and her daughter already shared a foundation of feeling; the two of them could well be called a match made in heaven.
Wei Zhao glanced at Ning Xuefei, blushing and brimming with shyness, and for a moment his thoughts fell into disarray. To answer this question meant he would from then on be formally bound to Ning Xuefei—and to the other beauties who had waited so long for him, that was all too unfair.
Whether in feeling or in bond, any one of them stood far above Ning Xuefei; if names were to be settled, they were the ones who should come first. Wei Zhao felt he owed them far, far too much—debts of the heart he might not repay in a lifetime.
But circumstances forced his hand; there was no way Wei Zhao could shrink back on the spot at such a moment. Under all those watching eyes, he gave a solemn nod. "I do."
