Chapter 2270 — The Pi Family Sends Word Too
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Though the Hidden House Arbitration Association now existed in name only, and most of the hidden houses were stirring, sending their experts into the secular world to make trouble, no Heaven-Rank expert truly dared set foot in the secular world at will—there were, after all, the ancient-level constraints above to reckon with.
Yet the Pi family had not come this time to make trouble or stir up waves or pick quarrels with others. They had come to save someone. The Divine Fist Hall above the Pi family would not blame them, he believed, even if it learned of it—and more than that, by coming out this time the Pi family had staked its fortune on Wei Zhao. From now on, honor shared and ruin shared.
If the ancient sects came looking for trouble, it was Wei Zhao's trouble they would come looking for. With Wei Zhao as the great tree to shelter them, the Pi family could only be counted minor players. And what of the ancient level? The Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect and the ancient Feng family—two disciples crippled, and where were they now? Had they not swallowed a silent loss?
"The two of you, Mr. Wu will see you!" Grandma Sun stepped out of the villa and said to Old Master Pi and Pi Zhifeng, who stood deep in thought.
"Many thanks!" Old Master Pi and Pi Zhitao followed Grandma Sun into Wu Chengtian's room. Though Grandma Sun was only a housekeeper, Old Master Pi was courtesy itself, not failing in the least in propriety.
"Brother Wu..." Though he had expected it, Pi Zhifeng was still startled when he saw Wu Chengtian's condition. Wu Chengtian was an early Earth-Rank expert too, of strength comparable to his own—and to be beaten into this state meant the enemy's power was formidable indeed.
"You must think me a sorry sight—our first meeting, and under such circumstances." Wu Chengtian smiled bitterly and said, "But you need not worry on my account. Once the leader returns, I will be as good as new. Let me introduce you—this is my grandfather."
Since Pi Zhifeng had come, Wu Chengtian treated him as one of their own and held nothing back. In truth, he also feared that Old Master Pi might otherwise hesitate, look before and behind, and not dare give his full strength.
And by saying this, Wu Chengtian was in fact hinting to Old Master Pi that it did not matter even if he was wounded—so long as he did not die, Wei Zhao could heal him.
"Oh?" A strange light flickered in Old Master Pi's eyes. Then certain things came to mind, and his confidence in this choice grew considerably.
Though Old Master Pi was a man of the hidden level, he knew a good deal about Wei Zhao—especially having once been his adversary. He had noticed a very curious phenomenon before: Wei Zhao had plainly been crippled, plainly past saving, yet every time he had recovered as if by miracle, his strength not diminished but increased.
And it was the same with those around Wei Zhao. Take this Wu Chengtian—crippled several times over, and yet here he was, an early Earth-Rank expert, and from the look on his face he truly did not mind.
