Chapter 3270 — Impossible to Conceal
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"You're quite cautious." Wei Zhao was well pleased with Cheng Yiyi's conduct.
"Of course. At the first sign of trouble, I'd take Xiaohan and run," Cheng Yiyi said.
"Mm. Where's Xiaohan?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Asleep. She actually waited up for you all night, but she couldn't hold out any longer and went to sleep," Cheng Yiyi said.
"You waited up all night too?" Wei Zhao glanced at Cheng Yiyi and asked.
"I... I'm a cultivator. It's no trouble," Cheng Yiyi said, a little embarrassed.
"Thank you for your trouble." Wei Zhao knew that if Xu Shilan had not slept the night before, then Cheng Yiyi must have stayed up with her without rest. And now that Xu Shilan was resting, Cheng Yiyi still had to remain vigilant, fearful that someone might come looking for trouble.
"It's nothing..." Cheng Yiyi shook her head. "In the past, I hurt Xiaohan far too much. Now I can only do my best to make it up to her..."
As she said this, Cheng Yiyi's expression suddenly changed!
"What is it?" Wei Zhao asked quickly.
"Earlier, Feng Tianhu called me. But I pretended not to hear—I didn't answer, didn't reply. I was afraid he'd ask about what happened here, and I wouldn't know how to answer..." What Cheng Yiyi meant, of course, was that Wei Zhao did not actually possess such formidable strength. Never mind killing an expert at the peak late-stage Heaven Rank grand perfection—even against an ordinary peak late-stage Heaven Rank expert, Wei Zhao was still no match, and would be sent fleeing in every direction.
Wei Zhao was slightly startled, and his brow furrowed! The news that he had been hunted by He Tianzu here would probably spread back soon enough. Wei Zhao did not believe that the Overseas Cultivator Association had no connection whatsoever to the other ancient sects; judging by how they knew about the automatic medicine cauldron, they must have had more or less some ties to the other ancient sects.
So once word of his being hunted got out, the near-mythical reputation he had been credited with would collapse of its own accord, and he would be toppled from his altar! But this was something Wei Zhao could not prevent. Tongues belonged to other people; Wei Zhao simply could not control them!
He was sure that once this news spread, his enemies would begin stirring again. When he returned, what awaited him... Ah, the very thought of it gave Wei Zhao a splitting headache!
"Tell him the truth," Wei Zhao said after pondering for a moment. Since it could no longer be concealed, it was better to let Cheng Yiyi speak honestly; otherwise, she would only be harming herself.
"Ah?" Cheng Yiyi was stunned. She had not expected Wei Zhao to tell her to speak the truth.
"There's no hiding this matter any longer." Wei Zhao waved a hand. "The Overseas Cultivator Association must have more or less some ties to the other ancient sects. And even if they don't, they won't be so kind as to keep my secret for me. They'll likely seize the chance to spread the news and let my enemies come seeking revenge, won't they?"
