Chapter 1886 — Safe and Sound
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Never mind that Wei Zhao's car had an obvious advantage in sheer size—it was a special modification by the Mysterious Investigation Bureau, and its front bumper was no ordinary piece of steel. So in this collision Wei Zhao came off without a scratch, while the car before him took the worst of it, its front end crumpled.
The blond kid had been standing on his seat cursing when the car ahead of him suddenly rammed him, sending him flying head over heels off the vehicle. Fortunately, he was a Mystic-rank expert and escaped injury.
"Young Master You, safe and sound, I see!" Wei Zhao got out of the car and gave the people in the sports car a cold look. Apart from the blond kid he had knocked flying, there were actually three more people sitting in the back seat!
Wei Zhao was astonished. A two-door, four-seat sports car, and it could fit five people—these fellows really knew how to cram themselves in.
You Panhu had just finished drinking and was not quite sober, but as a **, it naturally did not affect his driving. The moment he heard Wei Zhao's voice, though, the alcohol burned right out of him!
"Wei Zhao!" A flicker of terror crossed You Panhu's face! Much as he loathed Wei Zhao—the man had humiliated him time and again—You Panhu was no fool. Someone who could kill You Shisan in a single blow was not an opponent anyone at his side could face.
Zhuang Niaodao and Li Biaohan had been furious. Here on campus, someone actually dared to slight them! Though it was You Panhu's car that had been hit, it was the two of them—the local big shots—sitting inside.
So whoever this person was, they meant to stand with You Panhu and settle the score! Especially since they had discovered, to their delight, that this was the very freshman who had competed with them for girls. Would Zhuang Niaodao and Li Biaohan let him off so easily?
But when they heard You Panhu cry out "Wei Zhao," the two of them stopped dead in the middle of getting out of the car!
Wei Zhao's name was thunder in their ears! Both Zhuang Niaodao and Li Biaohan had heard it! The might of a single move that killed three Earth-rank experts in an instant, and a late-stage Earth-rank expert besides—such power left them pale with shock.
Of course, they did not for a moment think it was a case of two people sharing a name. If it were, You Panhu would not have cried out in alarm, his face so ashen.
Wei Zhao's gaze swept coldly over Zhuang Niaodao and Li Biaohan. He had not expected to run into these two here, and that they would be mixed up with You Panhu! But then he thought of their identities as **, and he was no longer surprised. Only the sons of these hidden clans possessed such strength.
"Since we're schoolmates now, we'll let today's matter go. Best not to appear before my eyes again." With that, Wei Zhao turned and got back in the car, and amid a dead silence, drove away...
Only after Wei Zhao had gone did Li Biaohan ask in a low voice, "Brother You, that man—that was the Wei Zhao?"
"It was him..." You Panhu smiled bitterly, a venomous look flashing through his eyes. If not for that Wei Zhao, how would the second young master of the You family ever fear a rootless, self-made rogue cultivator with no backing to speak of?
As for the Ice Palace's influence, You Panhu did not believe for a moment that Wei Zhao could call upon it. The sons of these hidden clans saw things clearly: though Wei Zhao was well acquainted with the Ice Palace, there was simply no chance of Bingtang stepping forward on his behalf. To say nothing of the ancient sects' pact—so long as no one crossed the other's bottom line, or touched someone the other had publicly declared under its protection within its sphere of influence, these Heaven-rank experts generally would not step out at will.
