Chapter 3133 — You're That Ruthless One?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
At this thought, Wei Zhao could not help but grow curious about the background behind the Cultivators' Guild. So many ancient sects—even the Five Luminaries Sect, where Ancestor Xuanchen belonged—had never set their sights on the Guild. The power behind it was surely not to be underestimated!
This was also why Wei Zhao had befriended Vice President Ouyang. And Wei Zhao vaguely knew that behind Vice President Ouyang stood a patron, a high-ranking figure in the Cultivators' Guild. If these connections were handled well, they would all become stepping stones for Wei Zhao to enter the ancient tier!
"That's good. With Vice President Ouyang, I am quite at ease," Wei Zhao said with a smile.
"Mr. Ling, since our relationship has already grown so close, don't call me Vice President Ouyang anymore. I have presumptuously lived a few decades longer than you—if you don't mind, just call me Brother Ouyang!" Vice President Ouyang said with a laugh.
But Vice President Ouyang's words nearly made Wei Zhao burst out laughing. Presumptuously lived a few decades longer? When ordinary people spoke, they said they had presumptuously lived a few years longer, and then addressed each other as brothers—but with Vice President Ouyang, it became a few decades!
Still, this was normal in the cultivation world. Vice President Ouyang was only just past forty; by cultivator seniority, he was still in the prime of youth. Setting aside the scions of ancient families and sects specially groomed to produce Heaven-tier cultivators in their teens, a Heaven-tier expert in his forties like Vice President Ouyang was already very young!
So there was no problem at all with Wei Zhao calling him Brother Ouyang—especially since Wei Zhao was a Heaven-tier expert himself.
"Very well, then I'll call you Brother Ouyang!" Wei Zhao nodded. "But since we are cooperating in all sincerity, I should tell Brother Ouyang my real name as well. Ling Yi is merely an alias I use outside; my real name is Wei Zhao!"
"What?! You... you you you you're Wei Zhao?!" Hearing the name Wei Zhao, Vice President Ouyang shuddered all over and pointed at Wei Zhao in disbelief. "Ling Yi... Wei Zhao, no wonder..."
"Brother Ouyang, why that expression? Is something the matter?" Wei Zhao looked at Vice President Ouyang rather strangely. "Actually, I did not mean to deceive Brother Ouyang—during the trials, I always used the name Ling Yi."
"I know that. It's nothing." Vice President Ouyang waved a hand, clearly unconcerned about Wei Zhao's alias. Instead, he said in shock, "You're the legendary ruthless rogue cultivator who trampled the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow sect so thoroughly they couldn't fight back?"
"Uh... apparently so." Wei Zhao smiled wryly. "Though I'm hardly some ruthless rogue cultivator—I merely exchanged blows with one of their disciples." (To be continued)
