Chapter 991 — Are You Jealous?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Then I really must congratulate you, Big Brother..." Yu Shuixing gave a bitter smile, without a trace of joy. It should have been good news, but now he was sunk completely in sorrow.
"All right, I will hang up now. My training time is almost here!" Yu Dansen said.
"All right, Big Brother. Call home often when you have time!" Yu Shuixing said.
After hanging up, Yu Shuixing called Yu Feng to his study. Now Yu Feng was the only one left in the Yu family who could discuss family affairs! Yu Kun lay in his sickbed, sunk in gloom. There was no chance at all that his strength could be restored. All day long he did nothing but sigh and lament, or weep bitterly before his father's portrait, which filled Yu Shuixing with guilt!
"Father, you sent for me?" Yu Feng pushed the door open and came in, asking carefully.
"Yes, your eldest uncle just called..." Yu Shuixing looked at his son and said, "Your eldest uncle is about to break through to the peak of early Earth-rank... Though that is good news, for the Yu family as it is now, it can hardly count as good news..."
"Yes, in ordinary times our family would surely be overjoyed!" Yu Feng sighed and said, "Father, what did Eldest Uncle say about Third Uncle's matter?"
"Your third uncle has not yet gained a firm foothold in the Hidden Yu Family. He cannot borrow the strength of the Hidden Yu Family, nor can he leave seclusion at will!" Yu Shuixing said, "But your eldest uncle's advice is the same — first find out Wei Zhao's background and see exactly what kind of backing stands behind him!"
"Then, Father, do you still mean to follow the old plan and send me to Songshan City?" Yu Feng asked quickly.
"Yes, that is what I have in mind!" Yu Shuixing nodded. "This time, you will not go to Songshan City in the name of the Yu family. Wei Zhao has never seen you, so he will not suspect you. Change your name, and I will have you transferred to Wei Zhao's school. All you need to do is probe into Wei Zhao's background in secret!"
"I understand! Then I must not come into open conflict with Wei Zhao, right?" Yu Feng nodded and asked.
"Not exactly. According to the information I have investigated, Wei Zhao treats different people differently!" Yu Shuixing opened the file in his hand and pushed it toward Yu Feng. "Take a look. Toward his classmates, he has never gone so far as to wipe them out!"
Yu Feng took the file his father handed him and read it over carefully. Sure enough, according to the records, Wei Zhao had never been ruthless with his classmates. Even when they provoked him, he only gave them a simple lesson...
"In that case, I do not have much to worry about..." Yu Feng said after reading the file. "Besides, if it really comes to strength, with my skill at the peak of early Profound-rank, I can beat Wei Zhao with room to spare!"
"Xiao Feng! Remember, you must not reveal your strength lightly!" Yu Shuixing waved his hand and warned him sternly. "For this transfer, I plan to arrange your identity as the pampered son of a rich family! You may compete with Wei Zhao, but only within the school, as rivalry between classmates. Even if you have to act, do it in secret. Do not confront him openly, understand?"
"I know!" Yu Feng nodded. "As long as I do not fight with him, it will be fine! I will not let him know I am a cultivator, nor will I reveal that I am a member of the Yu family. I will collect intelligence on Wei Zhao from the sidelines!"
"That is right!" Yu Shuixing nodded. "Well, go and get ready now. I will handle your enrollment procedures right away..."
...
Wei Zhao turned his head because Teacher Liu, the homeroom teacher, had already walked into the classroom.
The classroom fell silent at once. After all, senior-year students were highly self-disciplined. When a teacher arrived, it meant class was about to begin, and those who stayed here for evening self-study were all students who loved to learn.
