Chapter 2693 — Good News
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
But this time the situation was different. Wei Zhao had managed to spirit away the Qianshan Sect's very guardian spirit beast from under their noses, and had even strengthened it in the process. The Hidden Yu family's Old Ancestor could not help but be stirred by that. So perhaps Wei Zhao really did have a way after all.
Moreover, no one understood better than the Yu family's Old Ancestor just how important that spirit beast was to Yuning. Before, there had been no remedy; now that a remedy might exist, even if it meant begging Wei Zhao for help, he would have to swallow his pride and accept it.
By the time Wei Zhao returned to Donghai City, it was already the middle of the night. He put away the colored steel and then hurried off to rest. As for the affairs of Zhao Qibing and the Hidden Yu family, Wei Zhao did not much care. Whether the two families fell out or not made little difference to him.
Picking up his phone, he saw the call was from Leader Bai. Wei Zhao quickly answered: "Teacher Bai, you were looking for me?"
"Xiao Yi, I've found some information about your special constitution!" Leader Bai's voice sounded utterly thrilled. "And I have news about a solution as well!"
"Oh? Really? That's wonderful—what's the news?" Wei Zhao was overjoyed at hearing this and asked hurriedly.
"Er... it's only news..." Leader Bai gave a bitter laugh. "Aren't you a little too impatient?"
"So it's only news after all..." Wei Zhao also gave a bitter laugh, feeling he had gotten overexcited.
"Having news at all is quite good, and this news is reliable too. I had to pore over a great many ancient texts brought out from the sects before I found even a trace of it..." Leader Bai explained.
"Then I've truly put you to trouble, Teacher Bai. What is this news?" Wei Zhao said gratefully.
"Wei Zhao, if possible, we need to make another trip to the tomb of Patriarch Zhang Lifeng. He conducted research on this very subject, and it should be stored on the bookshelves in his ancient tomb!" Leader Bai said.
"Oh? Patriarch Zhang Lifeng's research? Then it's not in the Alchemist's Notes?" Wei Zhao was taken aback; he had not expected another trip to Zhang Lifeng's tomb.
"No. The Alchemist's Notes are only notes on alchemy, the single most important work Patriarch Zhang Lifeng left behind. But an alchemist may produce several sets of notes over a lifetime—notes on strange and wondrous matters, for instance. Your constitution falls under that category," Leader Bai explained.
"I see. Then this matter should not be delayed. When shall we go?" Hearing there might be a way to resolve his constitution, Wei Zhao grew anxious.
"Any time will do. How about this weekend? Make your arrangements, and we'll go together," Leader Bai said.
"All right, I'll arrange it," Wei Zhao said, nodding excitedly.
"What is it? Something good happened? You look so happy?" Gu Mengyao asked, seeing how delighted Wei Zhao was. Earlier, when Wei Zhao had told her about the previous night's events, she had said nothing, but she was still somewhat unsettled by the sudden appearance of a first love. How had another first love turned up?
Wang Xinyan, however, said nothing and only listened quietly from the side, as though Yu Ning's arrival had not stirred much jealousy in her. In truth, Wang Xinyan knew her place well. She knew that every day she could carry on this ambiguous affair with Wei Zhao was one day fewer than the last. If Wei Zhao proved unable to stand against the ancient sects, she would ultimately still have to marry Kang Jinglong.
So this was already a gain. To be jealous over a first love on top of that would be far too foolish. Wang Xinyan had no such time or energy to spare for such thoughts.
