"All right, first things first — this concerns you!" Gu Pengzhan wasted no time on pleasantries. "Li Cihua came to see me today. Between the lines, he was fishing for information about your injuries and your background. I didn't tell him anything, but I don't know whether he read something into my vague answers. I have a feeling Zhao Qibing won't let this slide this time. He'll definitely want to move against you, so you'd better be prepared!"
"Asking around about me, is he?" Wei Zhao smiled faintly. "Let him. If they want to come after me, they're welcome to try!"
Wei Zhao was wary of the people around Zhao Qibing, but he was far from afraid of them! He'd been badly hurt in this clash, but he had the jade pendant's cultivation space! Wei Zhao refused to believe that old man Zhu had some similar treasure. Even if he stuffed himself with rare heavenly treasures, as Elder Jiao had said, he wouldn't recover without half a year to a year!
So Wei Zhao wasn't the least bit afraid of Zhao Qibing's revenge. Send as many skilled men as you like — I'll fight you to a mutual wreck, then run! I run back, recover overnight, and the next day I come looking for more of your best men! There's no way you've got an endless supply of them. Once all your fighters are laid up in bed, let's see if you're still smiling then!
With the jade pendant space, unless Wei Zhao ran into an especially formidable expert, he had nothing to fear at all!
"Be that as it may, you still need to be careful." Hearing Wei Zhao's words, Gu Pengzhan knew he had some confidence in himself, and he was less worried than before. "I don't want anything to happen to you either."
"Don't worry, Uncle Gu. If I can't win, I'll run..." Wei Zhao didn't think there was anything shameful about running from a fight he couldn't win. What was shameful about it? Fighting on stubbornly when you can't win — that's what's actually insane!
"Then I'm relieved." Gu Pengzhan nodded and went on. "The second thing — I'd like you to help me find out why Yao Yao went with Zhong Yongliang to that Twin Swallow Mountain place. Things were rushed before, so I didn't ask. I meant to ask yesterday, but then you had your incident, and I didn't want to bring up unpleasant matters, so I'm asking you to look into it for me..."
"That, I really don't know anything about," Wei Zhao said. "I'll find a chance to ask and give you a call?"
"No rush. Don't go out of your way to ask — do it when the opportunity comes." Gu Pengzhan didn't want to meddle too much in his daughter's private life. She was grown up now, and not so easily fooled besides. There had to be a reason she'd gone up the mountain with Zhong Yongliang.
"Fine, I'll ask when I get the chance." Wei Zhao nodded, also feeling that bringing the question up with Gu Mengyao out of the blue would be inappropriate.
After passing through the highway toll station, Chen Yuxuan still couldn't give up. He dialed Qiu Lingshan's number again.
Her tone, however, was cold: "Chen Yuxuan? You're back? What is it?"
Qiu Lingshan had saved this number in her phone yesterday, but clearly her relationship with Chen Yuxuan was nothing more than friendship.
"Nothing much. Just letting you know I'm back." Chen Yuxuan always felt stifled in front of Qiu Lingshan. Her forceful manner made him uncomfortable, yet he couldn't muster the will to resist her.
"Oh. I see," Qiu Lingshan said flatly. "Anything else? If not, I'm hanging up."
"Are you really not free tonight?" Chen Yuxuan hesitated, then asked anyway.
"No, I'm busy. Hanging up now!" And before Chen Yuxuan could say another word, Qiu Lingshan ended the call.
Chen Yuxuan put his phone away with a self-mocking smile and dialed An Liwen's number. "Second Brother, where are you?"
"Taizao and I got to the Starlight Grand Hotel a while ago — VIP Room One on the fifth floor! Little Shu and Yao Yao are coming tonight too," An Liwen said with a laugh.
