Chapter 1852 — Enemies at the Door, Part 2
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
For an Earth-rank expert to make a great uproar at the gate of an ordinary dwelling and end up with egg on his face—that would be a joke of epic proportions!
But Yu Six was different. He had come on a mission; he had to kill Wei Zhao and obtain the Qi-Gathering Pill. So while the others kept silent, he could not wait to speak.
And Zhao Guang'er was in fact even more impatient than Yu Six. He had come to silence them for good—it was just that Yu Six had beaten him to the first word.
Not far from the three of them stood a business van, inside which sat Kang Jingming, Zhao Qibing, and Yu Huoxing. The three had had little to do with one another before, but this time, all of them wanted to see Wei Zhao's wretched end, so they had tagged along.
Only, Yu Huoxing—an expert of the early Earth rank, no less—had actually hidden himself in the van with them rather than going out to face Wei Zhao, which earned him a measure of contempt from Kang Jingming and Zhao Qibing.
"Let's go out and see!" Fearing the newcomers might harm Granny Sun, Gu Mengyao seized Shen Yushu's hand and hurried toward the gate!
These people had come for them and Wei Zhao. They could not let Granny Sun, who had taken them in, be dragged into it for no reason.
"Ha ha, so you really are here! Where's Wei Zhao?" Yu Six's heart leaped with joy at the sight of Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu.
"What exactly do you want with him? We bear you no grudge—we have never even met you. Why do you hound us so relentlessly?" Gu Mengyao was frantic within, doing all she could to stall for time and think of a way out; but she found that even stalling was useless.
"I have a grudge against him, of course! The mortal Yu family—he was the one who wiped them out, wasn't he? I represent the hidden Yu family, come to settle accounts with him." Yu Six spoke with an air of righteous grievance; naturally he could not admit that Wei Zhao had taken the Qi-Gathering Pill.
"The mortal Yu family brought ruin on itself. What has that to do with you?" Gu Mengyao frowned. "And from what I know, the hidden families are not permitted to interfere at will in the affairs of mortal families. On what grounds do you claim to avenge them?"
Following Wei Zhao and Wu Chengtian, Gu Mengyao had learned a good deal about the rules of the great families, and Shen Yushu, being of the mortal Chen family, knew those rules even better.
"Hmph! Enough nonsense—where is Wei Zhao?" Struck at his weak point, Yu Six naturally would not argue further with Gu Mengyao; he only snorted coldly. "Hand over Wei Zhao. A debt has its debtor—I will not harm you two girls. Otherwise, do not blame me for being ungracious!"
"Wei Zhao is in the hospital. He is not here..." Gu Mengyao, quick-witted, said, "His cultivation went awry and he suffered a deviation. We took him to the hospital..."
"Took him to the hospital?" Yu Six was slightly taken aback.
"Don't listen to her nonsense—Wei Zhao is right here!" Zhao Guang'er, who had kept silent all this while, spoke up. "Earlier they even bought medicine for Wei Zhao. Waste no more words on them—kill these two girls first, then we will go find Wei Zhao!"
