Chapter 3635 — Public Guidance Day
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Wei Zhao, Xiao Che and Qiao Hongcai were all taken aback at once. From Miserable Senior Brother's tone this was a matter of great importance, yet Meng Jueming, the managing senior brother, had not breathed a word of it to the three of them. Most likely he had been only too glad to let them miss it outright — what a vicious mind.
They were limited to three questions each, but the respondents were great figures at the elder level of the Threefold Pavilion; their cultivation realms were, needless to say, far above the common run. To receive personal guidance from masters of such caliber was rare indeed — "one may encounter it but cannot seek it out" was no exaggeration at all!
For newcomers like Wei Zhao, if this opportunity were grasped well, the benefit could far exceed the pills and spirit jades they dreamed of day and night. A single phrase of guidance from such a person might save them decades or even a century of detours in the years to come. What a precious chance it was!
"Thank you for the reminder, Miserable Senior Brother," Xiao Che and Qiao Hongcai said. They too had plainly realized how rare the opportunity was, for after voicing their thanks they hurried off with their spirit jades, eager to begin. Judging by their expressions, the two of them would be mulling over what to ask the whole night long.
Watching their jubilant backs, Miserable Senior Brother could not help but smile. Then he turned to Wei Zhao and said with weighty earnestness, "Junior Brother Lin, I know your strength, your talent and your temperament all far exceed the ordinary. But a chance to put questions to a Threefold Pavilion elder — once missed, you may never encounter it again in your whole life. So tomorrow you must make the most of it."
"Rest assured, Miserable Senior Brother. I know the weight of it," Wei Zhao said with a nod.
In truth, Wei Zhao had realized in that very instant that he, more than anyone, needed to seize this opportunity. Yet what he meant to ask about was not cultivation, which concerned everyone else, but a question more crucial and more important to himself.
When he saw the three of them appear, Meng Jueming's eyelid gave an unmistakable twitch, and he spat in disappointment.
He knew that, thanks to Miserable Senior Brother's meddling, the notion of making the three of them miss Public Guidance Day had been a bit naive, but still he could not resist a little spite. The fifteen spirit jades he had lost yesterday still had his heart bleeding, and if he did not find a chance to claw it back soon, his indignation would simply never settle!
Small fry like Xiao Che and Qiao Hongcai hardly mattered. If he could find some way to make that sworn enemy Wei Zhao stumble on this Guidance Day, and best of all leave him with a lifelong regret, now that would be truly satisfying!
But such notions could only be savored in Meng Jueming's own head. To use the Guidance Day as a chance to trip Wei Zhao up, he would at the very least need a line to the Threefold Pavilion elders, and for a mere minor steward of the Newcomers Pavilion, that was nothing short of a fool's dream. RS
