Chapter 2905 — How to Use It

The Earth Tyrant began to let his imagination run wild. If only Yang Qiqi were himself—what a fine, swaggering thing that would be! Standing at the entrance of the dining hall, addressing those trial challengers, and Zhang Naipao above all: "The tables in this dining hall now all belong to this young sect master. You are not permitted to dine here. Master Wei Zhao and I, the leaders, have matters to discuss. Buy your food and take it outside to eat!"
Wahaha—the very thought set his whole body tingling! The Earth Tyrant was by nature a man who loved to put on airs; there was not much malice in him, mainly he relished that feeling of being looked up to. And Wei Zhao, this leader, was precisely the one who could sweep away all the setbacks he had suffered before.
"Hey... the tables in this dining hall now all belong to this young lady. You are not permitted to dine here... eh?" Yang Qiqi was about to shoo away the Earth Tyrant who had just come through the door, but when she raised her eyes and saw who it was, she stopped short at once. "You are the Earth Tyrant?"
"Yes, yes, sister—actually I am one of Wei Zhao's connections too. I am his patient. See, may I eat here?" The Earth Tyrant asked cautiously, thick-skinned as ever.
"You?" Yang Qiqi turned to look at Wei Zhao. Though this man was the one who had given Little Nine the earth-attribute essence liquid, whether he could sit here was still for Wei Zhao to decide, and Yang Qiqi did not dare act on her own authority.
"Oh, it's the Earth Tyrant. Recovered quickly, haven't you? You've come to bring me the earth-attribute essence liquid, I take it?" Wei Zhao gauged the time; if the Yellow Earth High Sect had moved quickly, it should be about right.
"Yes, yes—Master Wei Zhao is truly formidable, eyes sharp as torches, seeing through my purpose in a single glance!" The Earth Tyrant, seizing the moment, ran straight over to Wei Zhao and sat down.
Outside the dining hall, the trial challengers who had not yet left wore peculiar expressions—first, astonishment that the Earth Tyrant had woken; second, he actually claimed to be Wei Zhao's patient? Could it be that Wei Zhao had healed him?
How could that be? The Earth Tyrant's injuries—even a third-grade Great Restoration Pill had been useless against them, no? How had he recovered?
Of course, puzzled as these people were, none dared ask.
"Why are you calling me leader? You are not one of my underlings." Wei Zhao glanced at the Earth Tyrant and spoke flatly.
Nothing special could be read in Wei Zhao's expression, yet inwardly he was somewhat puzzled. The Earth Tyrant was coming to acknowledge him as leader so soon? What exactly had moved him to make the decision so swiftly?
He himself had only healed the man's bodily injuries, not restored his meridians, and it was merely a transaction—he treated him, and the man paid with earth-attribute essence liquid. Fair to the utmost.
Moreover, even with Tianchan mediating, it was impossible that a young sect master of an ancient sect would make such a decision lightly! Feng Shihua and Li Ciba had, under special circumstances, witnessed the strength he displayed and thus acknowledged him as leader. But the Earth Tyrant was different. Wei Zhao truly could not fathom the purpose behind his acknowledgment. Was it merely to repair his meridians?
Yet Wei Zhao prided himself on reading people accurately, and in the Earth Tyrant's eyes he saw no trace of calculation—on the contrary, the man seemed genuinely to worship him. Worship him for what?
And besides, there was the Earth Drill Star, his hanger-on—if he casually acknowledged a leader, would the Earth Drill Star not report it to their sect master?
