"Ah?" Rocket Launcher was slightly taken aback. He looked at Wei Zhao and asked, "And this young lady is…?"
"Grandfather, her name is Shen Yushu. She is the inheritor of our sect, and also Leader Wei Zhao's… little wife!" Burning Cloud hurried to explain Shen Yushu's identity, afraid that his grandfather might show her disrespect and displease Wei Zhao.
"Ah?" Rocket Launcher was startled again, then nodded. "So she is young hero Lin's… little wife. My apologies, Heroine Chen! Rest assured, here at Fireflame Mountain you will be as good as family. There are no outsiders among us. Burning Cloud is young hero Lin's junior brother—if there is anything you need, just have him see to it!"
"Hehe, then Xiaoshu won't stand on ceremony!" Shen Yushu was, for the time being at least, quite satisfied. This sect could be called Wei Zhao's own inner circle, and in the future she could contact him whenever she wished, unlike with Sister Tang Zhi and Xiaoxiao, where things were more constrained.
"Xiaoshu also counts as a member of the Hidden Yu family—there was just some misunderstanding between her and the family," Wei Zhao explained. "Yu Yi's task this time was to bring her here."
"Good, I understand!" Rocket Launcher nodded, then said, "Very well, everyone—why not rest in the guest rooms for a while? Then tonight Fireflame Mountain will hold a banquet in your honor. How does that sound?"
"No need. I would like to see Yang Shuizhen first," Wei Zhao said, waving a hand. "The purpose of my visit is also the man Burning Cloud mentioned—his brother Yang Shuizhen!"
"This… You have come a long way, will it not be too much trouble for young hero Lin?" Yang Dingtian's eyes welled with tears. He had not expected Wei Zhao to go see Yang Shuizhen the moment he arrived, without even resting first. How could he not be moved?
"Leader, you know me better than anyone—shall we go now?" Burning Cloud was well acquainted with Wei Zhao and so spoke casually, looking at him eagerly.
"Let's go, you lead the way," Wei Zhao said. "Mr. Yu Yi, you take Xiaoshu to rest first. I will be back tonight for the banquet."
"No problem." Yu Yi nodded quickly. "Please rest assured, young hero Lin!"
Wei Zhao nodded to Rocket Launcher and Yang Dingtian, then followed Burning Cloud to the cave where Yang Shuizhen currently lay. Rocket Launcher and Yang Dingtian wanted to follow and see as well, but as hosts they could hardly neglect Yu Yi and Shen Yushu, so they had to let it be.
The two personally led Yu Yi and Shen Yushu to the guest rooms, which left the two red-robed disciples clicking their tongues in astonishment. They had come within a hair of offending these honored guests! It seemed they would have to be more enthusiastic from now on!
The trouble was that Fireflame Mountain seldom received any visitors at all, and they had unwittingly developed this arrogant temper.
Yang Shuizhen's "corpse," clinging to its last breath, had been placed inside a cave in Fireflame Mountain. Because of Yang Shuizhen's fire attribute, a breath of life could be kept alive here, sparing him from immediate death.
Burning Cloud carefully opened the stone door sealing the cave, then warned Wei Zhao, "It's very hot in there, Leader Wei Zhao. Be careful…"
(Fishman recommends for mobile readers a great urban novel, *Top Soldier King in the City*. Readers who have enjoyed Fishman's books should also like Mingri's work—it's a great read. Half sincere emotion, half absolute awesomeness—very satisfying!) RS
