Chapter 806 — Young Master Bing's Lament
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Hopping about as lively as can be, like nothing ever happened." Zhao Qibing burned with hatred at the mere mention of it.
"What? That can't be. Uncle Zhu is bedridden — how could Wei Zhao be perfectly fine? Does that mean Wei Zhao's strength is unfathomable?" Yu Haitian asked in astonishment at the news.
"Unfathomable is going too far. According to Uncle Zhu, Wei Zhao's strength is at most that of the early Profound rank. As for why he's hopping about so lively now — it's because Wei Zhao is himself a master of medicine!" Zhao Qibing hid nothing, speaking plainly.
Zhao Qibing was no fool. Though the recent string of events had left him somewhat muddled and prone to rash action, he remained a man with a head on his shoulders. Facing Yu Haitian now, he had recovered his usual composure.
In Zhao Qibing's view, Yu Haitian had been living comfortably in Yanjing; he couldn't possibly have come all the way to Songshan City for a holiday. There had to be a purpose to his visit! And Yu Haitian was paying close attention to matters concerning Wei Zhao — could it be that he too had come for Wei Zhao?
If the Yu family meant to join in dealing with Wei Zhao as well, that would relieve no small amount of pressure on Zhao Qibing. Besides, the Yu family was, after all, the foremost family of the mundane world, with many skilled hands at its command — a strength far beyond what a single bastard son like himself could match.
"He's actually a Profound rank expert! Just whose faction does this man belong to? How is it I've never heard of such a Profound rank expert existing?" Yu Haitian marveled at Wei Zhao's identity. Wei Zhao seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
Otherwise, skilled hands of the mundane world were generally all on file with the Yu family, which had gathered intelligence on nearly every renowned expert the mundane world had produced — and yet there had never been any word of a figure by the name of Wei Zhao.
"I've no idea." Zhao Qibing shook his head. "I'm utterly helpless against him now. Uncle Zhu is still recovering from his injuries, and you know as well as I do that Earth rank experts cannot casually show themselves in the world. Life is bitter for me these days, brother!"
By now Yu Haitian had already formed his judgment. Having heard that Wei Zhao was a Profound rank expert, he could be all but certain that Yu Kun had been wounded by Wei Zhao! After all, Wei Zhao was one of the men Yu Kun had been seeking — so it made perfect sense that Wei Zhao had injured Yu Kun.
But what shocked Yu Haitian most was Wei Zhao's strength. A Profound rank expert? Or perhaps higher still? Yu Haitian did not believe Wei Zhao was merely a master of medicine — the Zhao family had no shortage of medical masters either, and yet Uncle Zhu was still lying in bed.
The fact that Wei Zhao could still turn up in Songshan City, bouncing around as if nothing had happened, meant he must have real strength to back it up.
"Then what do you plan to do, Young Master Bing? Surely you won't just let Wei Zhao off so easily?" Yu Haitian asked, betraying nothing in his tone.
"And what good would not letting him off do? I'd love to see him pay, but right now he's the one who won't let me off the hook!" Zhao Qibing rolled his eyes and smiled bitterly. "He squeezed another three hundred thousand out of me today!"
"Oh? What do you mean? Wei Zhao, extorting money? He even cares about three hundred thousand?" Yu Haitian was taken aback and pressed him for details.
