Chapter 2542 — The Enraged Young Lady
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"..." Wei Zhao found it rather curious too. What had put the young lady in such a foul temper so early in the morning?
Wang Xinyan blinked, then actually believed Shen Yushu's words and felt a little sorry for her—getting a lump on her head first thing in the morning...
Han Jingyi and Han Xiaochao arrived, and no one brought up the earlier topic again. They all ate breakfast together, then drove to school.
After Zhao Qibing returned overnight to the Hidden Zhao Family, he went to pay his respects to the Old Master Zhao.
Though Old Master Zhao was a cultivator, he was advanced in years, and the spiritual qi of the outside world could never be as abundant as in Wei Zhao's jade pendant space, so he still had to sleep at night. Even so, upon learning that Zhao Qibing had returned, he received him at once.
"Grandfather, I'm back!" Once inside, Zhao Qibing respectfully produced the martial technique he had obtained from the Rain Family and presented it to Old Master Zhao. "This is the martial technique I obtained from the Hidden Rain Family!"
"Mm, very good!" Old Master Zhao nodded in satisfaction. He was pleased that Zhao Qibing had brought out the technique the moment he returned, and said to Elder Mian at his side, "Elder Mian, make a copy and place it in the Hidden Zhao Family's library!"
"Yes, Old Master!" Elder Mian took the martial technique from Zhao Qibing and carried it to the back room to copy it out.
"Well? When you went to the Hidden Rain Family, you didn't stir up any trouble, did you?" Old Master Zhao asked.
"No trouble at all. Obtaining the technique went very smoothly. My uncle brought out two techniques—one simple, one difficult," Zhao Qibing answered truthfully.
"Oh? So which did you take, the simple one or the difficult one?" Old Master Zhao asked, one eyebrow lifting slightly.
"Your grandson took the difficult one. Though it is a thousand times harder to cultivate, once mastered the technique is formidable indeed!" Zhao Qibing said. "Because your grandson knows a principle: only one who endures the bitterest of hardships can rise above the common run of men!"
"Mm, very good!" Old Master Zhao was greatly gratified to hear it. Had Zhao Qibing chosen the simple technique, Old Master Zhao would not have said much, but he would certainly have been disappointed in him. Zhao Qibing's choice instead left him deeply pleased—if the boy could think this way, he would make a fine heir to the family headship. "Tell me, then—what are the difficulties and the strengths of this technique?"
