Chapter 3372 — The Attitude of the Yu Family
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Yu Tianxing's dwelling stood at the summit of the rear mountain. Yu Yi led the way, Wei Zhao following behind. It was Wei Zhao's first time on this mountain; on his previous visit, though the Yu family had been deeply in awe of him, they had not invited him to so secluded a place.
"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is decent, though not especially abundant," Wei Zhao remarked, trailing Yu Yi without the slightest effort—which made Yu Yi sigh inwardly at how times had changed. Yu Yi had first seen Wei Zhao when the latter arrived in Songshan City, but at that time Wei Zhao was merely a yellow-rank fighter, beneath Yu Yi's notice. To his eyes, Wei Zhao was nothing more than a bodyguard Gu Pengzhan had hired from the secular world, not even reaching the heights of a secular clan—how could Yu Yi, grand steward of a hidden clan, possibly pay him any mind?
But now Wei Zhao's achievements had utterly surpassed the hidden Yu family. It could be said that within the hidden Yu family, not a single person could challenge Wei Zhao; even the powers backing the hidden Yu family were unlikely to produce anyone who could stand against him...
"Heh, Young Hero Lin is widely traveled and knowledgeable. But within the hidden plane, the Yu family's spiritual energy is already the most abundant—though of course it cannot compare to the ancient plane," Yu Yi said with a smile, as though he had never once plotted Wei Zhao's murder.
At Wei Zhao's present level, he could not be bothered to stoop to Yu Yi's level. After all, the Yu family was, in the end, Yu Ning's home, and Wei Zhao did not wish for relations to grow too strained; besides, it was he who had first wiped out the secular Yu family, and in such tangled debts of grievance and gratitude, who was right and who wrong was hard to say.
"I am merely a lone cultivator," Wei Zhao said with a faint smile.
As they spoke, the two had reached the summit of the rear mountain, before a cave. Yu Yi led Wei Zhao there and opened the mechanism before the cave, making no attempt to conceal it from him—though of course, had Wei Zhao wished to force his way in, the mechanism could not have stopped him in the least.
In Yu Yi's view, Wei Zhao's strength already stood at the pinnacle beneath the Heavenly Dao; in some matters, it was better to be open than to guard against him.
"Yu Yi, you have come?" Old Master Yu's voice came from within the cave. "Has Young Hero Lin arrived?"
"Old Master, Young Hero Lin is here as well," Yu Yi said.
Hardly had Yu Yi's words faded when the sound of footsteps came from the cave, and Yu Tianxing strode out quickly, his face wreathed in smiles. "Young Hero Lin, you have come! You do this old man far too much honor..."
"Old Master Yu, you are Yu Ning's grandfather. Such words are mere pretense. If there is a matter, just speak it plainly—no need for empty formalities. You know my character," Wei Zhao said, shaking his head and speaking bluntly.
"Very well. Young Hero Lin, please come in!" Yu Tianxing gestured invitingly, motioning Wei Zhao into the cave.
The luxury and spaciousness within this cave surpassed even the Xuanyuan Cave Residence on West Star Mountain...
