Chapter 2649 — Zhu Bo Reports In
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Don't give it to Wei Zhao—give it to Shen Yushu. If you give it to Wei Zhao, he can't accept it; with Shen Yushu, there's still a chance." Zhao Qibing thought it over. "If Shen Yushu agrees, she can probably talk Wei Zhao into hitting me."
"That works too," Li Cihua answered.
"Then I'll head back to the Hidden Zhao family first. With my leg broken, I need to apply some herbs for my Thousand Legs training." With that, Zhao Qibing took his leave together with Zhu Bo.
After returning to the Hidden Zhao family, Zhao Qibing went to his room to apply the medicine, while Zhu Bo found a place where no one was around and dialed Wei Zhao's number.
Wei Zhao was watching the film. Hearing his phone ring, he took it out and glanced at it, and was rather surprised—it was Zhu Laoer's number.
"Hello?" Wei Zhao lowered his voice and answered the call.
"Leader, this is Zhu Laoer. I have an important piece of news for you." Zhu Bo also lowered his voice and spoke cautiously.
"Oh? What news?" Wei Zhao asked.
"It's like this—you still don't know why Zhao Qibing keeps asking you to break his leg, do you?" Zhu Bo asked.
"No, I don't. You do?" Wei Zhao had been meaning to find a chance to ask Leader Zhu about it, but he hadn't expected Zhu Laoer's call to come first.
"Yes. Since my strength has recovered and I've made a breakthrough, the old master Zhao had me attend Zhao Qibing at his side. Today was the first time I came out with Zhao Qibing, and on the way I asked him about the reason for breaking his leg." Zhu Laoer said, "The truth is, Zhao Qibing is cultivating a martial technique called Thousand Legs. To master the first form, one must have the leg broken nine times. Zhao Qibing had broken his several times before but was still a few short, so he came to you, Leader, for help..."
"Oh? Is that so?" Wei Zhao was somewhat taken aback. "So it really is a martial technique? But who ever heard of such a lunatic technique?"
Wei Zhao had considered before whether Zhao Qibing might be cultivating some martial technique, but that had only been a casual guess on his part; he hadn't expected to guess right.
"Yes, though I don't know the specifics too clearly, since I've only just started following Zhao Qibing. Some things I can't ask about too closely—I'm afraid he'll get suspicious," Zhu Bo said.
"All right then. Keep watch on his movements at all times. Also, if possible, copy out his martial technique for me to look at—I want to see just what this thing is," Wei Zhao instructed Zhu Laoer.
"Understood. I'll keep an eye on it," Zhu Bo answered hurriedly.
Only, Zhu Bo failed to keep watch for a moment, and Zhao Qibing took a phone call in his room that Zhu Bo did not overhear—which afterward very nearly led to serious trouble.
After returning to his room, Zhao Qibing applied medicine to his leg. He was just about to take out the Thousand Legs martial technique to study it when his phone rang.
