Chapter 1695 — Pretending One More Time

"Lover? You have the nerve to say that? When you need something, I am your lover; when you do not, I do not even get a phone call?" Wei Zhao laughed. "And for all this talk of being lovers, I have not gotten a single benefit. To this day, not a kiss, not even holding hands—is that not a bit too tragic?"
"Oh, come on, come on—half a lover, then. A fake one, in name only. At most... if you can make me fall for you, I might give you a little sweetness!" Sun Jingyan gazed at Wei Zhao with tender eyes and batted her lashes.
"Save it. I do not believe a word. Do not fool me—sweetness, really? I would rather spend that time at home holding Tang Zhi." Wei Zhao shrugged, entirely unmoved by her temptation. "You tricked me onto your pirate ship once already. Do you expect me to fall for it again? To borrow a saying: the same trick does not work twice on a cultivator!"
"By the way, what is your strength level now?" Hearing Wei Zhao mention cultivators, Sun Jingyan suddenly thought of something and quickly asked.
"Why? Why bring that up all of a sudden?" Wei Zhao's guard went up at once. It was not that he did not trust Sun Jingyan, but these were extraordinary times—the Great Family Assembly was about to convene, and the strength of Wei Zhao and those around him had to be kept secret. Otherwise, if the Yu family sought out the hidden Yu family as outside support, things could get troublesome!
And Sun Jingyan was a member of the Sun family, so Wei Zhao had no choice but to be on guard! He had not had much contact with Sun Jingyan, but his intuition told him she would not harm him. What he feared was that she might be used by another family without knowing it!
After all, the past between Wu Chengtian and Sun Jingyan was common knowledge. Anyone trying to pry into Wu Chengtian's affairs might well start with Sun Jingyan, so Wei Zhao had to be careful and then some.
"Of course it is useful. I asked, so just tell me..." Sun Jingyan, absorbed in the menu, did not notice the change in Wei Zhao's expression.
"Is it not the same as before? Do you not already know?" Wei Zhao countered.
"Mystic rank? Mid mystic rank?" Sun Jingyan was not quite sure. She had not paid close attention at the time; she had merely been startled that Wei Zhao was a cultivator too. The Sun family's cultivation took an unorthodox path, so Sun Jingyan was not as sensitive to rank levels as other cultivators.
"Mm, about that..." Wei Zhao answered vaguely. "Never mind that for now. What exactly did you call me here for?"
