"Pfft... No way? Such a coincidence?" After hearing this, Wei Zhao felt that the matter was far too coincidental—his very first assignment after coming down from the mountains was actually to protect Feng Shihua's family!
"Yeah, I was puzzled before—why would you suddenly go protect someone else, boss? So this was the assignment!" Feng Shihua said.
"Since it's one of our own, then forget the money and all that. Just give me some cultivation resources, whatever you've got." Wei Zhao might be short on money, but protecting Feng Shihua's family meant he couldn't accept payment.
"That works too!" Feng Shihua didn't refuse at all, but agreed readily: "My father happens to have three hundred and fifty million in private savings. Boss, just take it and use it—this isn't a fee, it's me, as your junior brother, sponsoring you. I've heard about your company troubles too, so consider this my humble contribution!"
"Fine, then I'll accept it without declining." Since Feng Shihua had put it that way, Wei Zhao nodded and agreed.
"Oh, right, boss—the reason I'm calling is actually to warn you: the people causing trouble for my sister are from the ancient Eastern family!" Feng Shihua said. "Their backing is extremely formidable. Boss, if you refuse, it's no big deal—after all, I don't want you to bring trouble down on yourself!"
"The ancient Eastern family?" Wei Zhao's heart stirred, but he said lightly: "The ancient level, is it... It doesn't matter. I'm already a Heaven-rank expert now, and sooner or later I'll set foot in the ancient level. The Eastern family—I might as well get a look at them first."
If it had been any other family, Wei Zhao would still have helped, but he would probably have made Feng Shihua keep his identity strictly secret. He didn't want to make enemies of ancient sects for no reason—at least he had concealed his identity from the ancient Feng family.
But the ancient Eastern family already had a grudge against Wei Zhao. The death of Elder Dongfang would sooner or later be traced back to him, so whether Wei Zhao opposed them or not no longer mattered. Even if Wei Zhao killed a few more members of the Eastern family, it would only deepen the grudge; and if he didn't, once the Eastern family learned of Elder Dongfang's death, they wouldn't let Wei Zhao off easily either.
"Boss, have you thought it through?" Feng Shihua was slightly taken aback. He didn't know what Wei Zhao was thinking—he assumed Wei Zhao was doing this for his sake.
"Heh, of course I've thought it through." Wei Zhao laughed. "All right, I understand. Have that sister or cousin of yours contact me!"
"It's my sister!" Feng Shihua said. "Oh, right—my father concealed his surname earlier. Boss, please don't be angry!"
"Heh, I concealed mine too. Before you know someone well, there's nothing blameworthy about it!" Wei Zhao said indifferently.
"Got it, boss. I'll have my father and sister contact you right away!" Having settled the matter, Feng Shihua felt much lighter at heart—especially since Wei Zhao had said he was going to set foot in the ancient level anyway, and opposing the Eastern family wouldn't bring him any trouble.
"How did it go?" As soon as Feng Shihua hung up, Feng Tianqi asked hurriedly.
"The boss agreed. And he already knows about the Eastern family—but he's not worried. He even wants to use the Eastern family to get a look at the ancient level..." Feng Shihua said.
Feng Tianqi nodded and said with some feeling: "I have to say, Wei Zhao's growth over this past year has been astonishingly fast—from nothing to bursting onto the scene. The great families and the hidden families can no longer stop his stride. I'd guess the ancient level is in for another bout of blood and slaughter. It's fortunate that you established a relationship with Wei Zhao early on, Shipian. Perhaps Wei Zhao will turn out to be the last lifeline for us, father and son..."
