Chapter 3053 — Xuanchen Apologizes
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"If you're in a hurry, I'd suggest you go take a look around the ** Practitioner Market—they sell these medicinal herbs there year-round!" Bai Lingtou said.
"Of course!" Wei Zhao smacked his forehead. How could he have forgotten the ** Practitioner Market? He decided to bring along some pills and trade them at the market for the herbs he needed. The auction hadn't been held yet, so the pills might not fetch cash, but the ** Practitioner Association also did barter on ordinary days—trading pills for herbs was entirely workable!
With that in mind, Wei Zhao resolved to contact the vice-chairman of the ** Practitioner Association the very next day and trade some of the pills Han Jingyi had refined for him for the medicinal herbs he required!
Having made his decision, Wei Zhao went back to condensing the forging flame. Until he broke through the third layer of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art, this was the only thing he could do! After today's experiments, he could already wield the Fuxi Nine Needles with some proficiency—though his cultivation level was still limited, and so was the power he could draw from them.
Bai Lingtou glanced at the caller ID on his phone and sneered inwardly. He hadn't even gone looking for trouble with Ancestor Xuanchen yet, and here the man was calling first? Could it be he was calling to apologize?
Still, Bai Lingtou picked up, his tone somewhat cold: "Xuanchen? What is it?"
"Senior Brother Xuantian, this... there's something I owe you an apology for..." Ancestor Xuanchen felt utterly wretched and stifled. Little Eleven had been crippled, and now he had to be the one to eat humble pie and apologize! But there was no help for it—he had reasons that compelled him to do so!
"Oh?" Bai Lingtou was momentarily taken aback by Ancestor Xuanchen's words. Had Xuanchen turned over a new leaf? He had only been guessing idly before and hadn't truly expected Xuanchen to call and apologize. He knew Xuanchen's character—how could such a man ever apologize of his own accord?
"Well... previously, I didn't know Sun Jingyan was your **'s wife, so I sent Little One and Little Eleven. But this was all for Tagan Long's sake—you know as well as I do how important Tagan Long is to our Five Luminaries Sect. If we want to return to that level, we have no choice but to do this..." Ancestor Xuanchen sighed.
"Xuanchen, so by your logic, even if you had known Sun Jingyan was Wei Zhao's wife, you would still have done it for Tagan Long's sake—is that right?" Bai Lingtou countered.
"That... well, surely not. I would have consulted you first, and if you didn't agree, I'd have found another way..." Ancestor Xuanchen faltered, his voice weak.
"Is that so?" Bai Lingtou smiled noncommittally. "Fine, I accept your apology. Is there anything else?"
"Well... Senior Brother, I was wondering—was Little One's car driven off by Wei Zhao?" Ancestor Xuanchen asked cautiously.
"Oh? The car? What do you want with it?" Bai Lingtou genuinely hadn't known that Wei Zhao had driven off Little One's car—Wei Zhao hadn't mentioned it in yesterday's phone call either. Besides, Bai Lingtou truly couldn't see what was so important about a car that Ancestor Xuanchen would ask about it specifically. It wasn't as if the Five Luminaries Sect was penniless.
"It's like this... Little One left in such a hurry that he left his heaven-tier divine weapon in the trunk and didn't take it out. Do you think... it could be returned to him?" That was the whole purpose of Ancestor Xuanchen's call today. Otherwise, he would never have apologized to Bai Lingtou of his own accord—at most, he would have apologized when Bai Lingtou confronted him, and if Bai Lingtou said nothing, he would have pretended not to know.
