Chapter 1569 — Returning Together
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Although Wei Zhao could casually hand them a random manual and let them cultivate—and once they had entered the threshold, he could use his techniques to forcibly elevate all of them to the early Profound Rank—if the method did not suit them, the result of forced elevation would likely be an inability to control the true energy in their bodies. It would be just like Feng Xiaoxiao before she had cultivated, unable to control the cold energy in her own body, and thus slipping into a demonic trance.
"Ah! So complicated!" After hearing Wei Zhao's explanation, Gu Mengyao felt somewhat disappointed, but she also knew he was telling the truth. Wei Zhao would never harm them, so she could only say helplessly, "Then forget it... being ordinary is not so bad either..."
"But... can't we at least try..." Shen Yushu was rather unwilling to give up.
"Here's what we'll do. After the college entrance exam, I'm going back to my hometown. I originally planned to take Yunyun with me, but if you and Yaoyao have nothing to do, come along as well—think of it as a trip." Wei Zhao said. "I'll ask the old man in my family if he has any cultivation methods suitable for you. He is a man of wide experience; let him take a look at your constitutions first, and then decide."
"Great, great! The ugly daughter-in-law is finally going to meet her in-laws!" Shen Yushu said happily.
"Xiaoshu, what nonsense are you talking about? Yunyun is not ugly at all." Gu Mengyao shot her a glare.
"Oh? I wasn't talking about Sister Tang Zhi—I meant myself." Shen Yushu said as if it were only natural.
"..." Gu Mengyao was speechless.
Tang Zhi covered her mouth and giggled silently.
Wei Zhao knitted his brows slightly, long accustomed to Xiaoshu's antics.
"Mm, then let's all go together. We're all familiar with one another anyway," Tang Zhi said. "If I went by myself, there would be no fun in it. You all can keep me company."
Tang Zhi knew that Gu Mengyao had not spoken up out of deference to her feelings. But Tang Zhi had long since shed all hostility toward them. Now that they lived together every day, a sudden separation would truly be hard to get used to.
"Mm, that works too." Gu Mengyao smiled at Tang Zhi amiably.
Although some time had been lost earlier, Wei Zhao's driving was first-rate. The car wove through traffic, and at last they arrived at the gate of the examination school ten minutes before entry was cut off.
Wei Zhao found a spot, parked the car, and took his admission ticket from Tang Zhi.
"Good luck to all of you! Do your best!" Wei Zhao said to the three of them.
"You too, Brother Arrow Brand!" Shen Yushu raised a fist.
"Let's all encourage one another." Gu Mengyao nodded as well.
"Do well on the exam... and we must be together at university too." Tang Zhi looked at Wei Zhao with a hint of shyness.
After the four entered the school where the examination was held, they parted ways in the teaching building and went to their respective exam rooms.
Although candidates were no longer allowed into the school, there was still some time before the gaokao began. Wei Zhao found his examination room, walked in, and, following the admission-ticket number posted on the desk, went to his seat.
