Chapter 2437 — A Perfect Chance to Play the Hero and Save the Beauty
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"You deaf or something? Can't you hear me when I speak? Little girl, are you looking to die?" Robber Number Two had no interest in showing mercy to a pretty girl. He flicked his dagger through the air, its edge flashing as sunlight glinted off it and struck Wang Xinyan's face. Her heart gave a startled jolt.
Wei Zhao frowned slightly. He knew that Wang Xinyan wore a jade pendant necklace, but he had never paid it much attention. After all, plenty of people wore jade pendants these days. Wei Zhao himself had one. It was hardly anything unusual.
The difference was that Wei Zhao's pendant was well hidden, while the red cord around Wang Xinyan's pendant had caught Robber Number Two's eye.
Before this, Wei Zhao had thought nothing of it. But after hearing Wang Xinyan's explanation, he found himself believing her. Sun Jingyan's jade pendant, for instance, had great sentimental value; it was something her parents had left her. Wang Xinyan's pendant was probably the same.
Should he intervene or not? Wei Zhao hesitated. To be honest, the Wei Zhao of the past would have already struck down Robber Number Two. The robber leader, Number Three, and Number Four would certainly not have survived the day either.
But inside this cramped bus, Wei Zhao could not possibly kill all four robbers in an instant. The moment he struck down one of them, the others might well attack the students or Bai Weituo.
Of course, Wei Zhao could probably take all four of them out with a single overwhelming move, the Furious Fire Eight Trigrams Palm. But the other students around them would undoubtedly be caught in the devastation.
The Wei Zhao of today had begun thinking more and more about the people around him. Even if they were classmates with whom he was not close, even if they had never exchanged a single word, he still did not want any innocent people to be hurt.
While Wei Zhao was hesitating, Wang Xinyan drew the jade pendant from her chest. His eyes swept over it in passing. The material was utterly ordinary. Since he had been refining jade pendants himself, Wei Zhao had spent quite some time cramming on the subject, and he could tell at a glance that hers was not worth much. And yet the pendant gave him a strange feeling. His heart gave a faint, sudden flutter.
Could it be because the pendant had been resting against Wang Xinyan's chest all this time? Wei Zhao shook his head. What was he thinking at a time like this?
The robber clearly had no eye for jade. The moment he saw Wang Xinyan take out the pendant, he reached for it. In his mind, the fact that she had been so evasive proved that it had to be something valuable.
"Give it to me!" Robber Number Two shouted at Wang Xinyan.
And at that tense moment, Kang Jinglong, the gallant hero, made his dazzling entrance! He had not known beforehand exactly how the You family would go about making trouble for Wang Xinyan. After all, trouble of this sort had to arise spontaneously; it was not something one could simply summon at will. But now that Robber Number Two was stubbornly trying to seize Wang Xinyan's jade pendant, he had created the perfect opportunity for Kang Jinglong to play the hero and save the beauty.
