Chapter 3336 — Qing Yi's Shock
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Feng Xiaoxiao was slightly taken aback, not knowing why Wei Zhao wanted to see Qing Yi alone. Could it be that only Qing Yi could save the person he carried? That puzzled her somewhat. But she knew Wei Zhao would not hide things from her; perhaps he simply wished to avoid speaking before Bing Tang. So Feng Xiaoxiao asked no more.
Qing Yi, after receiving word from her disciple, hurried over as well. When she heard from the disciple that Wei Zhao had crippled a late-stage Heaven rank peak envoy of the Five Luminaries Sect and sent him fleeing in disgrace, she was astonished!
It seemed the earlier rumors were all true—Wei Zhao really had gained such strength. Yet Qing Yi was different from Bing Tang: she felt only joy. She had favored Wei Zhao from the start, believing him a man of real backbone. Now that Wei Zhao had succeeded, it proved her judgment had not been wrong.
"Wei Zhao, you were looking for me?" Qing Yi saw Wei Zhao as soon as she arrived. He was still the same Wei Zhao as before; judging by appearances alone, there was no difference at all. Who could have imagined such enormous changes in just over half a year?
"Yes, Qing Yi. Let's find somewhere private to talk." Wei Zhao nodded.
With Wei Zhao having said that, Bing Tang could hardly object. Wei Zhao and Qing Yi entered a private reception room, while Bing Tang stayed with Feng Xiaoxiao. Naturally, it would not do for them to eavesdrop, so the two went off to discuss the matter of the inheritance. Since Feng Xiaoxiao had already agreed, the affair needed to be set in motion as quickly as possible.
"Xiaoyi, I truly never imagined that in just over half a year you would possess such strength. Qing Yi is truly happy for you!" Qing Yi spoke from the heart, then her expression turned grave. "This visit—you asked to see me. What is it for?"
"Qing Yi, forgive my bluntness, but may I ask whether you have an elder sister? One who left together with Bing Tang's master back then?" Wei Zhao asked slowly.
"Oh? How do you know that?" Qing Yi was startled by Wei Zhao's question, for apart from a few people in the Ice Palace, no one knew of this matter. So Qing Yi found it very strange: how had Wei Zhao heard of it? Even Feng Xiaoxiao did not know, so it was even less likely Wei Zhao could.
"I have an elder—he told me, and he is the one who sent me to find you!" Wei Zhao said.
"An elder?" Qing Yi was puzzled. Wei Zhao had an elder? And this elder knew her? Was Wei Zhao not an ordinary wandering cultivator? How was it that his elder was also someone from the cultivation world?
"Yes, my grandfather." Wei Zhao nodded.
"Your grandfather? Who is he?" Qing Yi was all the more curious.
"His name is Lin Dongfang. I wonder whether Qing Yi has heard of him?" Wei Zhao was somewhat puzzled himself as to what connection Lin Dongfang had with Qing Yi, but since Old Man Wei had sent him to find her, there must be a reason, so Wei Zhao spoke the name.
"What—what did you say?" Qing Yi cried out, her voice failing her!
