Chapter 3336 — Qing Yi's Shock

"Hehe, it's fine—isn't our senior sister also your itsy-bitsy-tiny little wife? Besides, I don't like handling the palace's affairs anyway." Feng Xiaoxiao was entirely unbothered. "But Yao Yao is actually a Inheritor too? How amazing! Still, didn't Wei Zhao hubby say she was his girlfriend? Don't tell me you and Yao Yao have already..."
"Heh, yes, Yao Yao is my girlfriend now... and there's something even more amazing: Xiaoshu is the fire-element Inheritor of Flame Mountain. She hasn't left yet, but it's all but certain," Wei Zhao said.
"What? Xiaoshu too?" This time Feng Xiaoxiao was thoroughly stunned. She had never imagined that Inheritors really did gather around Wei Zhao—and every one of them was connected to him!
Bing Tang was likewise utterly astonished. She knew about Gu Mengyao, but Shen Yushu was news to her. Now she found it hard to imagine: Feng Xiaoxiao, Tang Zhi, Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu—all women closely tied to Wei Zhao, and all of them had become Inheritors. In the future, even if the Cloud-Tier Island were opened, Wei Zhao would hold the dominant position. Who could help it, when all these people belonged to Wei Zhao?
"Right. So go ahead and accept the inheritance without worry—your cultivation speed should pick up as well." Wei Zhao said. Feng Xiaoxiao had been the first to accept an inheritance, yet her cultivation speed was not especially fast. She had been in the Ice Palace for over half a year and was only an early-stage Heaven rank expert, and that was with all the Ice Palace's cultivation resources leaning toward her. But how long had Gu Mengyao been at the Night Palace? Clearly, accepting an inheritance and not accepting one were two very different things.
"Mm, I understand." Feng Xiaoxiao nodded, relieved. In truth, this matter had long troubled her. She knew there was no love without cause. In the Ice Palace, they had not only saved her life but also promised to heal her mother, and had even tilted their cultivation resources toward her. What was all that for? Was it not to make her a Inheritor?
Yet without Wei Zhao's approval, Feng Xiaoxiao had not dared agree rashly. Now that Wei Zhao had confirmed it, she would have far more room to stand on her dignity in the Ice Palace hereafter.
"This is the first thing I came here for..." Wei Zhao said, then gestured to the person on his back...
Only then did Feng Xiaoxiao suddenly remember that Wei Zhao was carrying someone on his back. She did not recognize the person, but since Wei Zhao had carried them here, there must be a reason.
"Last time you carried Xiaoxiao here for treatment. This time, don't tell me you need our Ice Palace to save this one too?" Bing Tang glanced at Wang Xinyan on Wei Zhao's back and frowned.
"I need to see Qing Yi alone. Bing Tang, make the arrangements." Wei Zhao did not explain further, because Lin Dongfang had instructed him to keep a low profile. Lin Dongfang's identity was to be mentioned only to Qing Yi, and no one else was to know too much.
"Fine..." Bing Tang was somewhat helpless at Wei Zhao's tone—as if she had become his little serving girl, and he was telling her to make arrangements? Don't you know I am the palace master of the Ice Palace? To see Qing Yi, you don't beg me, you simply order me to arrange it?
Of course, that was how it was with others—but toward the Wei Zhao of today, Bing Tang had not the slightest temper left!
It truly bore out what Wei Zhao had said back then: a hero need not fear too humble an origin. You may look down on the Wei Zhao of the past, but you must never look down on the Wei Zhao of the present. The victor is king and the loser a bandit—that is the way of it.
Had Wei Zhao lacked strength, he would likely have been driven out by now.
