Chapter 1545 — Hard to Meet Again
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Wei Zhao, I can only see you this far, you will have to go down the mountain on your own!" Aunt Qing saw Wei Zhao to the entrance of the Ice Palace and said to him, "You must work hard too, don't let Xiaoxiao overtake you!"
"I know, thank you for the reminder, Aunt Qing!" With that, Wei Zhao scooped up the Heavenly Thunder Pig at his feet, for on the way down he would have to move fast, and the Heavenly Thunder Pig might not be able to keep up.
"This little thing is quite cute, what kind of spirit beast is it?" Aunt Qing glanced at the little creature in Wei Zhao's arms and asked.
"I don't know, they say it is called the Heavenly Thunder Pig." Wei Zhao did not explain much about the Heavenly Thunder Pig's abilities. Though Aunt Qing was likely trustworthy, Wei Zhao understood the danger of possessing a treasure. The fewer people who knew about such a heaven-defying divine beast, the better.
Aunt Qing nodded and asked no more, and Wei Zhao took his leave and turned away, racing swiftly down toward the foot of the snowy mountain...
At the foot of the mountain, Wei Zhao looked up once more toward the summit. The vast snow mountain was already empty of people, and even the disciples on patrol had all disappeared.
Perhaps they had all gone to attend Feng Xiaoxiao's discipleship ceremony!
Taking a disciple in the master's name was, for the Ice Palace, a matter of the utmost importance, no less than a grand celebration, so it was only natural that everyone in the Ice Palace would be present.
Wei Zhao seemed to see Feng Xiaoxiao, led by the hand by Bingtang, that little cold girl, kowtowing before a portrait of the Ice Palace's founding master, and seemed to see as well the trace of resolve in Feng Xiaoxiao's eyes to become a Heaven Tier master...
In choosing to stay, besides seeking a cure, was Feng Xiaoxiao not also doing it so she and Wei Zhao could be together forever?
Wei Zhao sighed softly. Perhaps they would not meet again for a very long time...
Although the Ice Palace treasured Feng Xiaoxiao, it did not necessarily treasure him. The courtesy shown to him now was only for Feng Xiaoxiao's sake, otherwise a mere Mystic Tier master like himself would truly count for nothing in their eyes!
So Wei Zhao knew his own weight well. He feared he would not set foot on Icesnow Spirit Mountain again before becoming a third-rank or higher alchemist, or before Feng Xiaoxiao received the inheritance, advanced to the Heaven Tier, and took full control of the Ice Palace!
Having spoken such proud words, Wei Zhao could not shamelessly come back to the Ice Palace to ask to see Feng Xiaoxiao.
At least Wei Zhao knew that Feng Xiaoxiao would face no danger before that great undertaking, that the Ice Palace would cherish her beyond measure, and that was enough! The time that remained was for Wei Zhao to improve himself!
At this thought, Wei Zhao could not help giving a bitter smile. Number one of the Mystic Tier... If he were number one of the Heaven Tier, would that little cold girl still treat him with such an attitude?
By then, she would likely have to obey whatever he said!
