Chapter 1446 — A Chance Encounter at the Hospital
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
Qiu Lingshan was instantly annoyed, privately blaming Weizhao for his utter lack of romance. This fellow was sometimes so devoted it was almost foolish, and sometimes a plain simpleton. For Feng Xiaoxiao's sake he would venture into a place as dangerous as an ancient tomb, and even travel to far distant lands in search of the Fire Spirit Sacred Fruit — yet her own declarations of love he simply would not see.
"No, I'm not. How am I supposed to be in heat when you won't even strip naked?" Qiu Lingshan said to Weizhao, with the reckless abandon of one who has nothing left to lose.
"Let's go see Brother Yutian first." Weizhao did not carry the subject any further.
As for Qiu Lingshan, Weizhao could not put a name to what he felt for her. That he liked her — well, a little, naturally. No one is made of wood or stone, and he had been through a great deal with Qiu Lingshan; their relationship had gone from open hostility at the start to this present strange subtlety. What left Weizhao somewhat helpless was that Qiu Lingshan seemed to have made up her mind about him — simply because he had once seen her naked, it was as though she would marry no one else.
Weizhao thought Qiu Lingshan did not seem like a woman so bound by convention, yet in truth that was exactly what she was.
That said, for Weizhao to fall in love with Qiu Lingshan was still out of the question. Out of a man's covetous regard for a beauty, he felt a certain fondness toward her — but the moment that fondness turned into action, it would become a great deal of trouble.
And yet... it seemed there was no shortage of trouble already!
Qiu Lingshan ground her teeth over Weizhao's evasions, yet there was nothing she could do. It was the first time she had ever been moved by a man, and the more she came to know him, the more he fascinated her. This man carried far too many secrets, and he was extraordinarily powerful to boot — exactly what her standards for a partner demanded.
Weizhao was not merely a little stronger than her; he was stronger by an enormous margin! Though his strength was still only at the peak of the mid Profound Rank, Qiu Lingshan believed that in time he would surely achieve far greater things.
Had Weizhao not been confident, he would never have uttered that grand vow to turn the Grand Family Assembly into the Yu family's death anniversary! Tell me, among all the great families of the secular world, who would dare to speak of wiping out the Yu family? Never mind ordinary great families — even the hidden ones would never dare say such a thing!
Everyone knew that the Yu family had the hidden Yu family behind it, and that the hidden Yu family was one of the strongest among the hidden great families. Who would dare to oppose them?
Yet Weizhao dared, and he had already done it — and afterward he lived more splendidly than ever. Qiu Lingshan could only sigh: comparing one person with another truly can be the death of you. From the way Weizhao spoke of it, Yu Feng had taken no small share of grief from him at school, yet before Chen Yuxuan the man put on such arrogant airs. Had she only known it would come to this, she would have had Weizhao drive Yu Feng off earlier, and none of this would have happened.
The two of them walked side by side toward the inpatient department, and there, coming straight toward them, they saw a familiar face.
"Guan Xin?" Weizhao spotted her first and greeted her with a smile. He had always thought well of this shy, bashful girl, whom he had come to know just after arriving in Songshan City; later, on account of Guan Xuewen, he and Guan Xin had grown far better acquainted.
