Chapter 2334 — How Shocking
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"It seems Pi Zhifeng made the wisest choice of his life when he acknowledged you as his leader!" Old Master Pi sighed. Then he cast an envious glance at Wu Chengtian. The boy had come from nothing more than a secular aristocratic family, yet he had still managed to thrive under Wei Zhao. Even in terms of seniority, Pi Zhifeng had to address him as Brother Tian. After all, Wu Chengtian had joined Wei Zhao before he did.
"Haha, naturally. I've always had excellent foresight," Pi Zhifeng said smugly.
"Bring all fifteen Qi-Gathering Pills," Old Master Pi said. "The rest are of no use to our Hidden Pi family. Mr. Lin, you may decide for yourself how to use them. If you need more, I'll send people to collect another batch..."
"No need. These are enough." Wei Zhao had planned to return one to Han Xiaohu, give one to Qiu Lingshan, one to Chen Yuxuan, one to Zhao Qilei, and one to Uncle Qing—five in all. He had not expected Old Master Pi to bring him so many.
"Haha, they would be useless to us anyway." Old Master Pi waved his hand. "Besides, we've already gained a great deal from you. And if, as you said, we're all one family from now on, then these things belong to you as well."
"Very well, then." Wei Zhao did not refuse again. If he had extra Small Qi-Gathering Pills, he could give some to Feng Tianlong and the others. Feng Tianlong's strength was simply too weak to stand against the Red Conch. He was Feng Xiaoxiao's father, and if anything happened to him, Wei Zhao would have no way to answer to Xiaoxiao.
"But... our Wu family has no rare or presentable treasures to offer..." At that moment, the one who felt most undeserving was Wu Chengtian's grandfather, Wu Gonggao. He felt deeply indebted to Wei Zhao. When Wei Zhao's side had been in trouble, Wu Gonggao had not only failed to contribute a single cent but had even frozen Wu Chengtian's allowance account. The memory left him filled with guilt.
"Don't say such things. You have a good grandson, and that's more than enough." Wei Zhao spoke lightly. His words were somewhat blunt and gave Wu Gonggao little dignity, but they were simply the truth.
Wu Gonggao's old face flushed. Feeling ashamed, he glanced awkwardly at Wu Chengtian and gave a sheepish smile.
"Leader, thank you!" Wu Chengtian said solemnly.
Old Master Pi sent people home to fetch the Small Qi-Gathering Pills, while Wei Zhao began upgrading them one by one, starting with Pi Zhitao. In any case, he had nothing else to do while waiting for the young miss and Xiao Shu to finish school. It was not yet noon, and the time between now and their dismissal was more than enough to bring two people to the peak of the late Profound level.
Of everyone present, Pi Zhitao was the most impatient. No one tried to compete with him for the first turn, so Wei Zhao naturally began by raising Pi Zhitao's strength.
"In a moment, you won't need to do anything. Just circulate your family's internal cultivation method as usual. I'll transmit the true qi you need through your pulse gate," Wei Zhao told Pi Zhitao.
"All right, Leader. I understand." Pi Zhitao nodded. Although Wei Zhao's method and explanation were both rather novel, Pi Zhitao readily agreed. After all, he did not need to do anything, which made things wonderfully simple.
