Chapter 1907 — Feng Xiaoxiao's Plan
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Seeing the tenderness in Tang Zhi's eyes and the way she cherished her memories of happiness, the Grand Elder and Xue Li shook their heads at the same time. It seemed that such tremendous allure still could not tempt her as much as a single memory.
"All right, I'll say no more. Xiao Li, have Elder Zhang set Yun-yun up with a satellite phone, so she can reach the Ice Palace at any time." Since the Grand Elder had accepted Tang Zhi's choice, she no longer restricted her contact with the outside world—though, of course, this phone could only be used to call the Ice Palace's number.
After finishing her call with Tang Zhi, Feng Xiaoxiao immediately dialed Gu Mengyao. She could hardly wait to find someone to share her present gloom with.
"Hm?" Shen Yushu blinked at the unfamiliar number on her phone screen and answered, "Hello?"
"Xiao Shu? It's Xiaoxiao!" Feng Xiaoxiao said.
"Ahhh! Xiaoxiao?" Shen Yushu shrieked. "Yao-yao, it's Xiaoxiao on the phone! Ohhhh!"
"Xiaoxiao?" Gu Mengyao was startled too. "We were just talking about her, and now she calls?"
"Mm-hm!" Shen Yushu nodded. "Xiaoxiao, did you miss us?"
"Of course I did. We're the Prankster Duo, aren't we?" Feng Xiaoxiao said. "And Yao-yao too, and my darling Wei Zhao..."
"Oh, right—do you know about what happened to Sister Tang Zhi...?" Shen Yushu's delight lasted barely two minutes before the thought of Tang Zhi dragged her heart down, and her spirits sank.
"I know..." Feng Xiaoxiao fell silent as well. "Sister Tang Zhi just called me..."
"What! She contacted you?" Shen Yushu was taken aback. "Why hasn't she contacted me?"
"Our ancient sects have our own ways of communicating. But her circumstances are stricter than mine. I can call whoever I like, but she doesn't seem able to..." Feng Xiaoxiao said. "The reason she called me this time was about my darling Wei Zhao..."
"Mm, good timing—Yao-yao and I were just looking for you to discuss Arrow-Brand Bro's matter!" Shen Yushu said.
"Oh? You were looking for me too?" Feng Xiaoxiao was surprised. "What's happened to Wei Zhao? Did something happen to him? Is he in trouble?"
"Trouble... he did run into some, but it's over now..." Shen Yushu shook her head.
"So he did get into trouble. Thank goodness he's all right..." Feng Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief. "Then what did you want me for?"
"It's like this. Although Arrow-Brand Bro took the Forgetfulness Herb potion and forgot about Sister Tang Zhi, a gap seems to have opened up in his memory..." Shen Yushu said.
"A gap? What do you mean?" Feng Xiaoxiao did not quite follow.
Shen Yushu mulled it over, unsure how to put it more precisely. "Well, specifically, all of Arrow-Brand Bro's memories concerning Sister Tang Zhi are gone. That is to say, whether it's you, me, or Yao-yao—anyone connected to Sister Tang Zhi, and anything he went through together with her—he doesn't remember any of it. But he does remember you, me, Yao-yao, and the rest. It's just that Sister Tang Zhi isn't there..."
"Is that a problem?" Feng Xiaoxiao asked, seeing nothing amiss in what Shen Yushu had described.
"Of course it is." Shen Yushu said. "Arrow-Brand Bro knows you're his little wife, so he's wondering—who is his big wife? But he can't remember, so he keeps asking Yao-yao and me. Luckily we managed to dodge the question, or he'd keep at it and we wouldn't know how to explain. Once is fine, but if it keeps happening, there'll be trouble for sure."
"I see. That's easy enough, isn't it? Yao-yao has always wanted to be the big wife, so just tell my darling Wei Zhao that Yao-yao is his big wife." Feng Xiaoxiao thought it over and said. Though it let Gu Mengyao off easy, Feng Xiaoxiao truly no longer had any thought of opposing them, and if it kept Tang Zhi's efforts from being wasted, letting Gu Mengyao pick up the windfall would make everyone happy.
