Chapter 2778 — A Useless Weapon
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Gu Mengyao was still thinking about Qiu Lingshan's matter. Though she saw that Wang Xinyan seemed fine now, she still planned to have a good discussion with Xiaoshu and Xinyan that evening to work out a strategy.
"Arrow-brand Bro, tell us about your trip to get the medicine. Did that Snow Valley place give you any trouble?" Shen Yushu asked tentatively, hoping to find out whether Wei Zhao had encountered Tang Zhi. Of course, she could not ask directly, so she could only probe from the sidelines like this.
"No trouble, as it happens. Snow Valley is run by the Grand Elder—that much is different from the Ice Palace. Though this Grand Elder is cold by nature, she did not shut me out. Compared with my last trip to the Ice Palace, it went much more smoothly..." Wei Zhao said.
"That makes sense. I hear Snow Valley is a sect that deals mainly in trade," Gu Mengyao nodded.
"True. But there was a Snow Valley inspector there who was quite nice—quite kind-hearted. With her help, this trip yielded more than I expected..." Wei Zhao then recounted in detail everything that had happened in Snow Valley.
At first, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu were rather baffled by this Snow Valley inspector—how was it that they had not known Snow Valley had such a person when they went? But when Wei Zhao said the inspector had helped him, the two exchanged a smile. That person had to be Tang's mother—only Tang's mother could pull off something that badass.
However, when they heard that Wei Zhao had been hunted by men of the Blood-Robed Yellow Springs Sect after leaving Snow Valley, both Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu tensed up! Wei Zhao had no idea why the Blood-Robed Yellow Springs Sect bore him a grudge, but Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu knew. Wei Zhao had forgotten, but they had not—they simply did not know how to tell him.
"That Gale Lightning Boots is a fine thing. Arrow-brand Bro, can Xiaoshu put it on and run a lap?" Shen Yushu was curious about the divine artifact Wei Zhao had obtained later on.
"Of course you can," Wei Zhao said.
"Run? What are you running for? Wei Zhao, don't spoil her—what if she breaks it?" Gu Mengyao did not want Shen Yushu making a mess and glared at her. "Besides, are you a cultivator? Do you know any martial techniques? This is a divine weapon for Heaven Rank cultivators—how would you even use it?"
Wei Zhao had not thought that far, but Gu Mengyao's reminder made him realize with a start: that was right—this thing was a divine weapon for Heaven Rank cultivators. Where was he supposed to use it? His level simply was not high enough; he could not even activate it!
What was more, he did not have the matching martial technique and mnemonic verses either. He held the Gale Lightning Boots in his hands for nothing, yet had no way to use them! At this thought, Wei Zhao could not help feeling somewhat helpless—back then he had forgotten to ask the Grand Elder whether there were matching martial technique verses.
"Yaoyao, you've reminded me. These Gale Lightning Boots—not just Xiaoshu, I'm afraid even I can't use them. I'm no Heaven Rank expert, and I have no matching martial technique verses either. So it was all joy for nothing." Wei Zhao set the Gale Lightning Boots aside and stopped studying them. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (.) to vote with
