Chapter 1485 — Rumors: "Don't Let Zhang Naipao Know About This for Now, We'll Surprise Him Later," Wei Zhao Said.
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"..." Wei Zhao had never expected that a casual gesture of his would stir up so much trouble. If he agreed to Yu Bing's request, he would inevitably meet Yu Ning when he went to treat that ancient spirit beast. But could Wei Zhao say he would not help?
Not to mention that Yu Bing had brought it up, and that for Wei Zhao it was but a lift of the hand, just thinking of those words Yu Ning had Yu Bing pass to him when he was injured, Wei Zhao could not possibly stand idly by!
So Wei Zhao gave a bitter smile and still said, "If there is a chance, of course..."
"There will be a chance." Yu Bing caught Wei Zhao's meaning and smiled.
The two left the inn and walked to the nearest snack stall by the inn. Many disciples who had come for the trial were eating there at the moment. That Wei Zhao had been crippled by Zhang Naipao yesterday was no secret, so the moment Wei Zhao appeared in the stall, all kinds of gazes were cast upon him.
Some were sympathetic and regretful, some mocking and jeering, some gloating, while others wondered why Wei Zhao did not hurry back to find a remedy and what he was still doing here.
But Wei Zhao paid them no mind. He found a table, sat down with Yu Bing, ordered a few dishes at random, and began to eat.
These people were only curious for a moment. Once Wei Zhao and Yu Bing started eating, they stopped paying attention to them and went back to their own talk. But men at some tables happened to catch sight of Wei Zhao, and so the conversation turned to Zhang Naipao and Feng Nitian.
"Did you see? That Zhang Naipao from the ancient sect is not to be provoked. That Ling Yi fellow is what happens to you when you provoke him!" a disciple of a hidden family said in a low voice. Though his voice was very low, it did not escape the ears of Yu Bing and Wei Zhao. They were all cultivators, and at such close distance, every word could be heard clearly!
But Wei Zhao and Yu Bing pretended not to hear. They had come precisely to gather news, so they said little and just ate on their own.
"Right, that Zhang Naipao is formidable, but I hear that Feng Nitian is just as formidable. His Heaven-Defying Divine Art can truly defy heaven!" another disciple from a small sect chimed in. "They say he commands a domain... Just now, did you all see? That Yu Bing beside Ling Yi had Feng Nitian use his domain on him, slapped in public and unable to fight back. It is simply heaven-defying!"
"That Feng Nitian is a man of the ancient Feng clan, an existence on the same level as the ancient sects. Disciples like us from hidden families and ordinary sects cannot afford to provoke them!" another man sighed. "During the trial, best to steer clear. Meeting those two means waiting for death."
"Ah, true enough. If you cannot provoke them, can you not hide? Still, those two over there are unlucky enough, offending two enemies of the ancient tier at once. Unless they drop out of the trial altogether, otherwise, in the trial... tsk tsk, the outcome goes without saying!" the hidden-family disciple who had spoken first said with some regret.
