Chapter 3458 — Journey to the Right Miao Sect
"If you don't make yourself out to be that sort of woman, the engagement can't be broken off!" Wei Zhao said. "I don't know about other things, but by any normal reckoning, no decent man can stand being cuckolded and then happily becoming a father to another man's child... The way you are now, whatever their tastes and interests, you're out of the running... because in their eyes a woman like that is fine for a fling, but if it came to actually marrying her, they'd be out!"
"Is... is that really going to work?" Guan Xin thought it over, and it did seem to make sense—only the idea of dressing herself up as a seductress and saying such shameless things really did put her in a difficult spot!
"Shenzhou xing, I say it works!" Wei Zhao nodded.
"Then... let me think..." Guan Xin also thought it would work; it was just a little hard to put into practice.
"Mm, if there's anything you need my help with, just say so, and I'll do everything I can!" Wei Zhao said.
"What if... they ask me whose the child is, and I say it's yours?" Guan Xin thought for a moment and then suddenly spoke up.
"That... works!" Wei Zhao nodded and agreed.
"Mm-hm!" If Guan Xin was to say the child was Wei Zhao's, then she would feel no psychological pressure at all. In her view, this was merely a matter of sooner or later—she was simply saying it a step early, nothing major!
"Well, it's getting late, so I'll be going first. Tomorrow I still have to go to Southeast Asia. If your father forces you to meet someone, you'd best stall for time. Once I'm back, I can help you come up with a plan too!" Wei Zhao said.
"Mm-hm, got it!" Guan Xin nodded happily.
Wei Zhao then took his leave from Leader Bai's house and returned to his own villa. Ergoudan and Yu Yuanyuan had already gone to the guest rooms to rest. Wei Zhao went back to his room, and seeing Wang Xinyan on the bed, he could not help but smile faintly!
It seemed that during this time, Wang Xinyan had been sleeping in his room.
Although Wei Zhao did not dare cultivate by leaning close to Wang Xinyan for the time being, nestling together with her every day was a fine enjoyment in itself!
If only Wang Xinyan's strength could be raised so that she became a cultivator, then there would probably not be so many hidden dangers. He wondered whether Aunt Qing on her side could still find that heart-method mnemonic.
Wei Zhao lay down beside Wang Xinyan and quietly began to cultivate...
Only, good times are always fleeting. In the blink of an eye, the sky had brightened, and a new day had arrived!
Wei Zhao got up and went to the kitchen to cook. He had already formed the habit of rising early to cook—but when he came to the kitchen, he was astonished to find that Yu Yuanyuan had risen even earlier than he had!
"Yuanyuan, you're a guest, so why not sleep a little longer? You can leave breakfast to me!" Wei Zhao said.
"I'm used to it at home—I get up at this hour every day, and Zhou Qiming goes up the mountain to hunt!" Yu Yuanyuan said with a smile. "It's fine, leave it to me!"
"All right then!" Wei Zhao did not insist. He knew Yu Yuanyuan wanted to do her part, and it would not be right for him to refuse again.
Yu Yuanyuan's cooking was fairly good. Though not as skilled as Wei Zhao, it was still very decent! It seemed Ergoudan was truly blessed in the matter of food!
After the meal, Wei Zhao said goodbye to Wang Xinyan and, together with Ergoudan and Yu Yuanyuan, headed for Donghai Airport. Wei Zhao had already had Han Xiaohu book the plane tickets.
The journey passed without incident. Wei Zhao slept on the plane, while Ergoudan and Yu Yuanyuan found everything fresh and new. It was their first time on a plane, and both were very excited, gazing at the clouds outside the window and finding it all rather marvelous...
After arriving in Southeast Asia, Wei Zhao made no effort to conceal his movements, and went straight to stay at a hotel called the Right Miao Grand Hotel. In the hotel lobby, Wei Zhao dialed Kun Cun's number directly.
"Wei Zhao, you've come?" Kun Cun asked.
"Yes, I'm right now in the lobby of this Right Miao Grand Hotel of yours. Book me two rooms, will you—I don't have any money!" Wei Zhao said.
"..." Kun Cun was momentarily speechless. But in order to be able to find Wei Zhao at any time, he did not care about such a trifling sum, so he said to Wei Zhao, "Hand the phone to their lobby manager; I'll talk to them!"
Wei Zhao nodded and said to the lobby manager, "You take this call!"
The lobby manager was somewhat puzzled, but he took the phone all the same. The moment he heard the voice on the other end, his expression changed at once, and he nodded repeatedly in assent!
Then, after finishing the call, he said respectfully to Wei Zhao, "Mr. Lin, your room cards are ready. This way, please!"
Although Wei Zhao was the enemy, Kun Cun intended to entertain him properly before going to finish him off, so as to keep Wei Zhao from getting dissatisfied and running away! In any case, in his eyes Wei Zhao was already a dead man!
Even criminals are given one last full meal before execution, so Kun Cun meant for Wei Zhao to be a little comfortable before he died!
After hanging up, Kun Cun summoned Pu Huotai's master, Piao Nimei, the present vice sect master of the Right Miao Sect!
Piao Nimei was something of a patriarchal figure, requiring all those under his gate and his disciples to bear his surname. But he was also extremely protective of his own, and now that Pu Huotai had been killed, he was the one who most wanted revenge.
"Vice Sect Master Piao, Wei Zhao has arrived. We can prepare to move!" Kun Cun said to Piao Nimei.
"Good! With the two of us joining forces, Wei Zhao is certain to die!" Piao Nimei said. "I am skilled in demonic arts, and by now I have mastered them fully, while you, Sect Master, are skilled in attack. With one of us attacking and one defending, we shall be invincible under heaven, just like the Twin Vajra Fiends of old!"
"Indeed. This Wei Zhao is very formidable; anyone who could kill Pu Huotai is no good sort, so we must both be careful! Once we're there, do your utmost to hold Wei Zhao's attention and make him attack you—you need only defend. I am skilled in offense, so I will ambush Wei Zhao!" Kun Cun began to lay out the tactics!
Although this demonic art was something Kun Cun had learned back then from the great Miao priestess he had followed, he himself had never cultivated it to full mastery. Instead, he had let his vice sect master cultivate it, while he had practiced the art of attack—which, though not to be called especially formidable, was adapted from a Miao village poison art called the "Mighty Strength Divine Gu," so his attacking power was exceedingly fierce as well.
"Then when do we move?" Piao Nimei could truly endure it no longer. He did not want to wait a single moment; he wanted only revenge! To avenge Pu Huotai and wipe away his hatred.
"Tonight! Wei Zhao is staying right now at our Youmiao Grand Hotel—he can't get away!" As he spoke, Kun Cun told Piao Nimei about Wei Zhao asking to stay for free. "This Wei Zhao really is a piece of work. A man about to die, and he still wants to save a little pocket money!"
"Haha, perhaps he thinks we only want to talk terms and that he won't die—that as long as he pays some price, all will be well!" Piao Nimei gave a cold laugh. "Does he think every sect puts profit above all else?" RS
