Chapter 2962 — Kneel and Apologize
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
At that moment, Wei Zhao too was staring in horror at the handsome white-robed youth before him, and he nearly blurted out—forging fire! This handsome white-robed youth was actually using forging fire! Could forging fire be channeled directly as a martial technique? Could it truly burn with such heat that even a cultivator's body was reduced to ash?
Yet though Wei Zhao was bewildered, he absolutely could not say a word of it now.
The Silkworm Mutation's sudden appearance left Wei Zhao deeply puzzled—even more puzzled than Yu Yi's arrival the day before. Yu Yi had Yu Ning's connection, so that was understandable enough, but what of the Silkworm Mutation? If the Silkworm Mutation had come to stir the waters on Kang Jingming's account, Wei Zhao could believe it—but that the Silkworm Mutation's purpose was to help him, that was a little too unrealistic!
Could it be, as the Silkworm Mutation had said, that he had come merely out of outrage at injustice, to uphold the fairness and justice of the Xuandan Sect's trial? That too was a little... too inconceivable, was it not?
Looking at the Silkworm Mutation before him—someone who seemed somehow familiar, yet whom he seemed never to have met—Wei Zhao racked his brains. Had he and this handsome youth ever met before? But to his disappointment, Wei Zhao found that no such person existed in his memory!
Even if he looked familiar, Wei Zhao truly did not know the Silkworm Mutation!
Yet no wonder—Tian Chan had been cross-dressing as a man to begin with, which already made her somewhat different. Though Tian Die'er and Tian Chan resembled each other in appearance, and dressed as men they looked even more alike, they were two different people after all, and having changed back and forth several times, it was only natural that Wei Zhao could not recognize them.
"You want to try?" Tian Die'er asked coldly.
"N-no... I do not..." the black-clad elder stammered, his face already ashen. Zhao Qibing was of the early earth tier; though the elder himself stood at the peak of the late earth tier, before the Silkworm Mutation he was nothing but a lamb awaiting the slaughter!
The crux of the matter was that though the Silkworm Mutation's visit appeared justified, the real point was that his side held the power. Even if the other ancient sects knew the Silkworm Mutation was making a mountain out of a molehill, none would dare speak out of turn—this was a top-tier ancient sect, after all. Who would willingly step forward over a third-rate Dark Night Palace for no reason?
"Then it depends on how you conduct yourself," Tian Die'er said.
The black-clad elder's face shifted from white to red, but in the end he weathered the struggle in his heart. With a "thud," he dropped to his knees before the Silkworm Mutation and said, "Young Master Tian, please spare this humble one. I too came on the orders of the Supreme Elder. This humble one was wrong... I will never dare interfere in the Xuandan Sect's affairs again..."
"Not me—him." Tian Die'er pointed at Wei Zhao, her expression utterly unchanged by the black-clad elder's conduct.
"Wei Zhao, Young Hero Lin, I was wrong, I am sorry, I will never dare again. Please, just say a word..." The black-clad elder knew that unless Wei Zhao spoke, this matter would not be settled. Though he could not fathom why the Silkworm Mutation insisted on Wei Zhao's opinion, he had no choice but to comply!
Wei Zhao did not wish to let the black-clad elder off so easily, but the one speaking up for him now was, after all, the young master of the Xuandan Sect, and Wei Zhao was not close to him—naturally he could not go too far. He merely nodded and said, "Since you were wrong, then get out of here. And do not come back." (To be continued)
