"The girl's name is Yu Yuanyuan. She works at a burger joint near an elementary school. Her father sells sundries at the market nearby — Yunhai Shuku. The family's dirt poor, she's never seen anything of the world. A few words and she'll take the bait!" Instructor Li had already investigated Yu Yuanyuan's background thoroughly.
Though Instructor Li frequented dens of vice and debauchery every day, the women he dealt with were all bar girls and the like; he still had a taste for innocent young maidens. Yesterday, with nothing better to do, he had gone to the burger joint for a burger and found himself captivated by Yu Yuanyuan. After a quick investigation of her background, he had returned to the arena pondering how to broach the matter with An Liwen — to have him help scheme Yu Yuanyuan into his bed. As it happened, An Liwen wanted him to fight tomorrow, so he had seized the moment to make his request.
Sure enough, An Liwen agreed readily — because to An Liwen, this was no request at all!
Old Master Wu Gonggao of the Wu family was finally discharged from the hospital. Yet this hospitalization had proven a blessing in disguise: he had broken straight through to the mid Mystic Rank, which delighted Wu Gonggao immensely! Could this be the legendary truth that only through destruction comes construction?
If that were truly so, then perhaps he ought to let Wu Chengtian anger him a couple more times, land himself in the hospital a few more times — and break through to Earth Rank, would he?
Of course, Wu Gonggao was only daydreaming. Though this breakthrough was connected to his hospitalization, the greater part of the reason was simply that he had been on the verge of breaking through all along — he had merely never encountered the barrier to the mid Mystic Rank!
At home, Wu Gonggao had trained diligently every single day without a moment's rest. But in the hospital, he could not continue his cultivation and could only lie in his sickbed and rest quietly. Once he had calmed his mind and recuperated for a time, when his body recovered and he resumed his training, he broke through to the mid Mystic Rank in one stroke!
Afterward, Wu Gonggao considered it carefully. This breakthrough was likely owed to that period of quiet recuperation — it had let him adjust his condition, so that when he took up his training again, he broke through in a single effort! But however it had come about, now that Wu Gonggao had become a mid Mystic Rank expert, the Wu family's standing was all the more firmly secured!
Seeing that his grandfather had recovered — and broken through, no less — Wu Chengtian no longer lingered at the Wu family home. His heart was already flying home; he wanted to race to Songshan City to find Sun Jingyan, and to lose no time in exposing her relationship with Wei Zhao!
Back in Yanjing, he had shared a meal with Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao, and knew that Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao were a couple. So Wei Zhao could not possibly be Sun Jingyan's boyfriend! Unless Wei Zhao was two-timing them both!
But that hardly mattered. Wu Chengtian planned to invite Wei Zhao, Feng Xiaoxiao, and Sun Jingyan out to dinner together. If Wei Zhao truly was two-timing, then Sun Jingyan could see Wei Zhao's ugly true face in time! Whether it wrecked the relationship between Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao, of course, was none of Wu Chengtian's concern — he could not have cared less.
Wu Chengtian rushed back to Songshan City late that night. Once he arrived, he did not hurry to call Sun Jingyan; instead, he first called Xiao Wangba.
"Hello? Wangba, this is Wu Chengtian!" Wu Chengtian said.
