Chapter 2908 — The Uncle and Nephew Call
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
The first thing the Earth Tyrant and Earth Drill Star did after returning to their room was to call their sect—and it was the Earth Tyrant himself who made the call.
"Uncle, it's me, the Earth Tyrant." This was the first call he had made since recovering. It had been too late the night before when he recovered, so he had not called back at once.
"Tyrant, you're already healed? That fast?" Tu Qingsong had assumed that even if Wei Zhao agreed to treat him, it could not be done in a moment—that it would take days at least, perhaps a month. He had never expected him to be well by the next day!
"Actually, I was fine last night, but you can't quite call it healed—my meridians haven't recovered yet." The Earth Tyrant shook his head. "It was too late last night, so I didn't call you, Uncle!"
"That fast!" Tu Qingsong's expression changed at once. It seemed his decision had been the right one after all—how could anyone of the younger generation connected to those two not be formidable? To have healed the Earth Tyrant's injuries so swiftly, restoring his meridians surely would not take long either! At that thought, Tu Qingsong quickly asked, "Tyrant, has Drill Star told you what I meant?"
"You mean about building good relations with Leader Wei Zhao?" The Earth Tyrant was slightly taken aback. He had been meaning to report this very matter to his uncle; he had not expected his uncle to be even more impatient than he was.
"That's right... Eh? You're already calling him leader?" Tu Qingsong had caught how the Earth Tyrant addressed Wei Zhao.
"Not exactly. This morning I went to the restaurant to find him, and what happened was this..." The Earth Tyrant recounted to Tu Qingsong how he had shamelessly called Wei Zhao leader in the restaurant. "But Leader Wei Zhao neither confirmed nor denied it—he didn't firmly decline."
"Good, then!" Tu Qingsong relaxed. "Tyrant, you've done very well. This trip to the Central Plains was not wasted. You may not have been able to take part in the Mystic Pill Sect's trial, but your gains have far exceeded a single trial! Build good relations with Wei Zhao—in the future, it may bring great benefit to our Yellow Earth Sect!"
"Yes, I know..." The Earth Tyrant nodded. "Uncle, have you... heard of Wei Zhao before?"
The Earth Tyrant knew Tu Qingsong's character well. He had acknowledged Wei Zhao as leader out of pure admiration: he could not beat Zhang Naipao, but Wei Zhao could, and Wei Zhao had healed his injuries besides—those were the reasons he respected Wei Zhao.
But those reasons were hardly enough to move Tu Qingsong, hardly enough to make him approve of such dealings between the Earth Tyrant and Wei Zhao. Yet now Tu Qingsong approved, contrary to his usual manner, and the Earth Tyrant found it puzzling.
"Hmm... don't ask about these things. Knowing too early won't do you any good, and approaching him with a heart full of fear may not be a good thing either..." Tu Qingsong shook his head.
"Fear?" The Earth Tyrant was startled. "Leader Wei Zhao treats me quite well. Respect, certainly—but fear... I wouldn't say that." (To be continued)
