Chapter 2887 — Little Nine's Illness
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Xiaoyi?" Leader Bai was somewhat surprised to receive Wei Zhao's call. "Aren't you off at the trial? Why are you suddenly calling back? Have you run into some trouble?"
"Teacher Bai, I have indeed run into some trouble!" Wei Zhao told him honestly. "Do you have time right now?"
"I do. What exactly has happened?" Leader Bai's heart tightened. Wei Zhao had gone to take part in the Xuandan Sect's trial, and Leader Bai knew very well how the Five Luminaries Sect stood in relation to the Xuandan Sect. What he feared most was that the Five Luminaries Sect would join hands with the Xuandan Sect to move against Wei Zhao.
"It's like this..." Wei Zhao then related the whole matter of Little Nine to Leader Bai in detail.
"Oh?" Leader Bai had not expected that Wei Zhao was calling him about this, but he breathed a sigh of relief—so long as Wei Zhao was not in danger, he could rest easy. "From what you have described, my preliminary conclusion is that this Little Nine of yours may be a cultivator with an earth-attribute constitution, and Faint Light of Old Dreams to activate it. And the method you mentioned—using things from earth-attribute spirit beasts to guide and activate it—is indeed one approach. Your situation is somewhat similar to that of an inheritor. But the specifics of the method, I do not know. If I were still with the Five Luminaries Sect, it would be easy for me to make inquiries for you, but now..."
Leader Bai could have gone to ask Ancestor Xuanzhen, but he had just asked Ancestor Xuanzhen about the matter of the void attribute and the true attribute. If he asked about anything else, and Ancestor Xuanzhen went digging through the records again, it would be hard to avoid Ancestor Xuanchen noticing and growing suspicious—and that would be disastrous.
"I see..." Wei Zhao was rather disappointed to hear this. "Teacher Bai, this person is very important to me. Could you see..."
"How about this: after some time has passed, I will ask Xuanzhen again and see whether he has any way." Leader Bai pondered for a moment, then said.
"Thank you, Teacher Bai!" Wei Zhao knew well how difficult it was for Leader Bai to converse with Ancestor Xuanzhen without Ancestor Xuanchen noticing. Had he not been so desperately worried about Little Nine, he would never have let Leader Bai take such a risk.
"Ha, what are you thanking me for?" Leader Bai smiled faintly. "With the bond between us, such words are too formal."
"Mm. Teacher Bai, there is one more piece of good news I want to tell you..." Wei Zhao hesitated a moment, then decided to tell Leader Bai now about his success in obtaining the inheritance of the origin power. Originally he had meant to wait until he returned, but telling him now, to let Leader Bai share in the joy, would do no harm! Besides, Yang Qiqi was no outsider—she was the person closest to Wei Zhao since childhood.
"Oh? What good news? Could it be that you have successfully passed the trial and received the Xuandan Sect's reward?" It was no wonder Leader Bai did not think more of it—after all, Wei Zhao had gone this time to take part in the Xuandan Sect's trial, and by his reckoning, it had only been a few days since Wei Zhao passed it. What other good news could there be?
