Chapter 3338 — Contacting Yu Dake
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Riding the Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast, Wei Zhao returned to East Sea City—coming and going in a blink, as the saying went. Shen Yushu was astonished that Wei Zhao had made it home so quickly.
"Arrowhead Bro, did you see Xiaoxiao? Is Sister Xinyan going to be saved?" Shen Yushu asked, but the sight of Wang Xinyan still unconscious made her heart sink. If there were a cure, Wei Zhao would not have carried Wang Xinyan back.
"She can be saved, but it is rather troublesome. Tomorrow I set out for the Haku Namata Great Desert. Xinyan will stay here at home—she is not coming along." Wei Zhao paused there, then said: "Xiaoshu, that place is quite close to Fireflame Mountain. Would you like to come along and have a look?"
"I... I had better not. I can put it off a day, so let it wait a day—besides, someone has to look after Sister Xinyan at home, no?" Although the Firecloud of Fireflame Mountain was Wei Zhao's subordinate, Shen Yushu did not want to face a parting. Once she left, who knew when she could return? She feared she might end up staying at Fireflame Mountain for good.
"All right." Wei Zhao understood Xiaoshu's feelings and did not press her.
Back in his room, Wei Zhao began to ponder: whom should he bring along this time? The Haku Namata Great Desert was full of unknown perils. Frankly, if he were to bring anyone, the most capable choice was Yu Dake. Yu Dake had once been to the Haku Namata Great Desert; though he had not found the exact location of the white energy stones, he knew the region well—far better than Wei Zhao searching alone!
So, with that in mind, Wei Zhao dialed Yu Dake's number.
"Mr. Lin?!" Yu Dake was overjoyed to receive Wei Zhao's call. Wei Zhao was his savior and the man who had helped his sister; he had long wanted a chance to meet Wei Zhao again. But as Wei Zhao's stature rose, Wei Zhao was no longer the man who, even in the Hidden Strata, had escaped only by luck.
Once, at the Hidden World Families Summit, had it not been for Wei Zhao's good fortune, he could never have escaped the siege of several hidden families. But now, did Wei Zhao even regard the hidden families as worth his notice? He was probably trampling the Ancient Strata underfoot.
Rumor had it that Wei Zhao could slay a peak late Heaven-rank expert in a single strike—what manner of might was that? So the gulf between Yu Dake and Wei Zhao had only grown wider, until Yu Dake was too embarrassed to contact him at all.
"It is me, Dake. How have you been lately? Are things well with the You family?" Wei Zhao asked.
"These days I have been looking for a chance to break away from the Hidden You family..." Yu Dake hesitated there. Previously he had not quite dared to leave the Hidden You family, but now, with Wei Zhao's connection, what was leaving the Hidden You family but a trifle?RS
