Chapter 3521 — Promotion Failure
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"What? Tang Zhi failed!" Kang Jingming sneered inwardly. Wei Zhao might be formidable, but his girlfriends were all dregs! He looked at Tian Chan with a touch of regret. If only he had known earlier that the Young Sect Master of the Heavenly Silkworm Transformation was a woman, why would he ever have chased after Xiao Taohong? Why chase after Little Eleven? If he had just gone and groveled before Tian Chan, maybe she really would have taken a fancy to him!
Then he would have become the son-in-law of the Mystic Pill Sect, and he would have risen to glory just the same! True, things were not bad now either, and he enjoyed the favor of Ancestor Xuanchen — but Little Eleven was far inferior to Tian Chan!
Ah, the past is too painful to look back on!
Kang Jingming had no wish to linger here any longer. He feared that the Five-Shas Dragon might rest in its cave a while and then come out again, and then they would be finished. As for whether Tang Zhi broke through or not, in Kang Jingming's view it hardly mattered anymore. Zhang Naipao was already crippled; the loss of one more inheritor was no great matter. Let Ancestor Xuanchen deal with these headaches when they got back — he certainly could not!
"She failed for now. We'll think of something after we return. How are things on your side?" Tian Chan asked coolly.
Wei Zhao looked at the familiar girl in yellow before him and found it hard to connect her with the lovely young maiden he had met last time in the Five-Shas Mountains. Tian Chan back then had been a cute little girl; the Tian Chan of now was the cold, proud Young Sect Master of the Mystic Pill Sect!
Still, Tang Zhi had actually failed to advance to Great Perfection? That caught Wei Zhao somewhat by surprise. Well, they could think of something after they returned.
"On my side, every last trial-taker advanced to Great Perfection under the oppressive might of the Five-Shas qi. But Zhang Naipao is crippled..." Kang Jingming said this with some gloom. "We'll have to see when we get back whether he can be restored!"
"What?" Tian Chan was taken aback as well. She naturally knew how important Zhang Naipao was. She had not expected him to be crippled too — this really was going to be a headache to handle!
But the pressing matter at hand was to leave this place first. So Tian Chan said, "Activate the teleportation array. You take the trial-takers out first. I'll bring up the rear and escort the inheritors out!"
"Good!" Kang Jingming could not wait to be gone from this place. Being told to go first, he was overjoyed.
Following the method Ancestor Xuanchen had taught him, Kang Jingming activated the teleportation array of the Five-Shas Mountains, and then, without a thought for anyone else, he charged straight into it ahead of the rest...
Behind him, Zhong Yongliang and Zhang Naipao followed close on his heels, and then the remaining inheritors departed one by one. Wei Zhao had Han Jingyi and Wang Xinyan go ahead; he meant to wait until Tian Chan and the inheritors had all gone, and leave last himself!
These inheritors were all the people closest to him. Including Tian Chan — between her and Wei Zhao there was a tangled, hard-to-name feeling — so Wei Zhao wanted to escort them out.
Gu Mengyao, Feng Xiaoxiao, Shen Yushu, Yu Ning, Guan Xin, and Xiao Jiu all glanced at Wei Zhao as they left. Only Tang Zhi walked with her head down, looking as though a weight lay on her heart.
Once these people had departed in the company of the sect's other members, only Wei Zhao and Tian Chan remained.
Tian Chan glanced at Wei Zhao and knew he had deliberately stayed behind. She stretched languidly — the teleportation array would not close for a while once opened, so there was no rush to dive in. "You've been leveling up pretty fast. Last time I could have killed you, and now I can't..."RS
