Chapter 3455 — Here Comes Ergoudan!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Nothing much. Yu Yuanyuan just wants to look around a bit!" Ergoudan said. "I promised her that after we were married I'd take her on a honeymoon, but I've been busy all this time and never had the chance. Now that I finally have some free time, we thought we'd see about finding a place to go!"
"How about the two of you come with me to Southeast Asia?" A sudden inspiration struck Wei Zhao. Southeast Asia was a fine tourist destination as well; Ergoudan had no particular goal in mind, so one place was as good as another. That way Wei Zhao could both rescue Bai Weituo and entertain Ergoudan—two birds with one stone!
"That'd work, only I..." Ergoudan was a little short of funds. He made his living by hunting, and most of his money went to support his family; his savings were limited.
Wei Zhao had known Ergoudan for so many years—how could he not guess what was on his mind? He smiled slightly and said, "You've come to my home as a guest. How could I possibly let you spend a single cent? Everything is on me. If you're unwilling, then leave at once—and take your bacon with you. I don't want it!"
"Well... heh, all right then!" Ergoudan did not stand on ceremony with Wei Zhao. From his words he could tell that Wei Zhao truly did not mind such things, and that if he refused his kindness, Wei Zhao would genuinely take offense.
"Leader, I'm really sorry to put you to such expense," Yu Yuanyuan said, following Ergoudan in calling him Leader so naturally. In the countryside, after all, the eldest child in a household was also called the leader—that is, the big brother.
"Xinyan, see to their lodging first. I'm going over to Teacher Bai's place—there's something I need to discuss with him."
Wei Zhao said to Wang Xinyan.
"Mm, go ahead. Don't worry about me—I'll be fine!" Wang Xinyan shook her head.
Wei Zhao said nothing more and headed straight for Leader Bai's residence.
Leader Bai was somewhat surprised that Wei Zhao should visit so late. "Xiaoyi, you're back?"
"Yes, matters over there have just wrapped up, so I came back to have a look!" Wei Zhao said. "Master, there's something I've thought over, and I still feel I ought to tell you!"
"Oh? What is it? Come in and tell me!" Leader Bai gestured for Wei Zhao to enter first. "Xinxin, look who's here!"
Guan Xin emerged from her room, and at the sight of Wei Zhao she was both startled and delighted. "Wei Zhao, you've come! Shall I cook something?"
"Haha, no need. It's too late—don't bother cooking. I came here because I have something to discuss with Master," Wei Zhao said. "If you have things to do, go ahead!"
"Ah... I see..." Guan Xin was slightly disappointed—Wei Zhao had not come to see her, after all. She lowered her head and turned to go back to tending her herbs. These past days she had vaguely begun to gain some insight from the herbs, and she believed her inheritance would soon succeed!
"Xiaoyi, you're about to break your little junior sister's heart. These days, apart from gaining insight from herbs and studying alchemy, the person she talks about most is you!" Leader Bai said with a smile. (To be continued)
