Chapter 1741 — Sun Jingyan's Secret
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Later, as she came to know Wei Zhao better, Sun Jingyan suddenly discovered that he was far more formidable than she had imagined! And afterward, Wu Chengtian had even become Wei Zhao's lackey, astonishing her beyond measure. Only then did Sun Jingyan realize that she did not understand Wei Zhao at all!
There were still so many, many things she did not know...
And this Grand Gathering of the Great Houses had once again given Sun Jingyan a new understanding of Wei Zhao! All by himself, he had swayed the entire gathering; after taking a pill on Rainwater Star, he had turned the tide and successfully reversed the situation!
Sun Jingyan could scarcely believe her own eyes. In the blink of an eye, Wei Zhao's standing had supplanted that of the Yu family; he had become the core of these great houses, and had founded the Cultivators Association to replace the former Grand Gathering of the Great Houses!

The You family's expert had arrived. The man looked utterly unremarkable, with a face that possessed no distinguishing feature at all; mingled in a crowd, he would surely be one of those whom no one could pick out! And yet such a man was an expert of mid-Earth Rank strength!

Once the matter succeeded, the Hidden You family had agreed to give him great quantities of Minor Qi-Gathering Pills to aid his cultivation! The difference between Minor Qi-Gathering Pills and Qi-Gathering Pills lay in this: the Minor Pills were impure, and each one raised one's strength only marginally, but taking them produced no other ill effects, and one could continue to absorb the spiritual qi of heaven and earth from the natural world.
A rich reward draws out the bold. So this Earth Rank expert came to the Kang family under a false name, prepared to take part in the Kang family's kidnapping scheme!
Just as the whole Kang household was rejoicing, a sinister smile flickered at the corner of Kang Jinglong's mouth. He had waited far too long for this opportunity — but no matter; at last it had come to him!
That evening, just as the Kang family convened its council to discuss how to kidnap Guan Xin and how to demand the formula, Kang Jinglong duly put forward his own views...
