Chapter 3523 — Coming to Ask for Help

"Is that so..." Xueli hesitated after hearing Wei Zhao's words. To be honest, she was rather tempted. After all, what Wei Zhao said was true—he and the others with him were all experts of Heaven-Rank Great Perfection, and they had real insights when it came to breakthroughs.
And for Wei Zhao to have risen from a lone wandering cultivator to his present height—it was impossible that he had no ability at all. So Xueli hesitated a moment, then said, "I will go back and think it over. You will be staying in your room at the inn for the time being, and not leaving?"
"Not leaving." Wei Zhao nodded. Once he returned, he planned first to forge a Heaven-Rank divine weapon, then go to the cave on West Star Mountain, open the stone door, and see whether there was anything good inside.
But the precondition was forging the Heaven-Rank divine weapon, and Wei Zhao now already possessed the blood of the Five-Shas Dragon. Everything was ready; all that remained was to set to work.
It made no difference where he forged it. There was no one else in Wei Zhao's home anyway, and Han Jingyi and Wang Xinyan were both here, so Wei Zhao planned to settle down at the inn for now and decide later.
"All right." Xueli left and walked over to Tang Zhi.
Tang Zhi very much wanted to look at Wei Zhao, but she restrained herself. Earlier, while receiving the inheritance's empowerment and resisting the pressure, Tang Zhi had tried very hard to forget Wei Zhao, yet she still had not broken through to Heaven-Rank Great Perfection, which left her deeply regretful.
To be honest, Tang Zhi felt very guilty today. She was the hope of the Snow Valley, the hope of Xueli. If she could not successfully advance, then Xueli too would have no part in the Heaven-Rank Assembly or the Cloud-Rank Island plan.
After Xueli left, the other inheritors also drifted away. Wei Zhao wanted to find them and talk, but this did not seem the place for it; better to wait until they were back at the inn.
Wei Zhao returned with Wang Xinyan and Han Jingyi to their room at the inn, and before long there came a knock at the door.
Wei Zhao had assumed it was Xueli—he had not expected her to come around so quickly. But when he opened the door, it was actually Zhong Yongliang and Zhang Naipao!
That took Wei Zhao somewhat by surprise. Why these two?
"What is the meaning of this? Come to settle scores?" Wei Zhao regarded the two of them coldly and asked.
"Er... Young Hero Lin, may we come in? There is something I would like to discuss with you." Zhong Yongliang pondered a moment before speaking. To be honest, coming to humble himself before Wei Zhao was not in Zhong Yongliang's nature, but there was no other way now—he could only do this.
"You two? Something to discuss with me?" Wei Zhao looked at Zhong Yongliang with a strange, half-smiling expression. "I say, Zhong Yongliang, are you feeling all right? Do you think we are still back in school? Is there any friendship between us to speak of?"
"Come now, our relations were harmonious enough for a time back then, and today I truly do have business with you..." Zhong Yongliang sighed.
"Out with it, then. What is it?" Wei Zhao nodded and let the two of them into the room.
"Er, Young Hero Lin, I hear you have quite a knack for healing injuries and raising people's strength. Could you help Zhang Naipao restore his strength?" After entering, Zhong Yongliang hesitated a moment, then came straight to the point.
"Do you take me for a great philanthropist, or do you think I have forgotten that you are my enemy?" Wei Zhao was rather taken aback by Zhong Yongliang's words. This Zhong Yongliang really was a piece of work—there was nothing he could not bring himself to say!RS
