Chapter 3903 — T014 Double Eleven Special Chapter 1: The Mortal Realm, Gu Family Villa
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 3
Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, Yu Ning, Tang Zhi, Feng Xiaoxiao, Guan Xin, Xiao Jiu, and Yu Xiaoke too—the girls Wei Zhao worried about and cherished most—had now been settled into four separate bedrooms, each one lying unconscious upon a bed.
Qiu Lingshan and Wu Chengtian, meanwhile, paced back and forth among the four rooms, keeping constant watch over the women's condition.
After the women had fallen unconscious during that day's Cloud-Tier Island plan, the underlings had followed Wei Zhao's parting instructions and brought them back. Since most of the strong had already gone to Cloud-Tier Island, these two were the mightiest among those left behind—which was why the whole affair had gone smoothly enough, with no one daring to raise a hand against them.
After carrying the unconscious women back to the villa and settling them in, Qiu Lingshan and the others had observed and discussed the matter in careful detail, and the conclusion they finally reached was this: the women's symptoms were much the same as Yu Xiaoke's—there was no danger to their lives for the time being, but neither could they be roused.
To cure them was beyond their present abilities; all they could do was wait for Wei Zhao to return and see whether he could find a way to save them.
So the only thing they could do now was look after the women on Wei Zhao's behalf.
But the villa was only so big, and everyone had their own affairs to attend to; having so many people cram themselves into the villa to watch over the women was plainly unrealistic.
In the end, with Qiu Lingshan and Wu Chengtian taking the lead, they arranged for pairs to rotate in and tend to the women each day.
Though there were many to care for, since all the women lay unconscious there was in truth not much to do each day—two people were entirely sufficient. This way they could guarantee enough hands without delaying everyone's own business.
What was more, everyone had already joined the same messaging group, phones online around the clock, so the moment any emergency arose, they could all receive word in time and hurry over.
With so many gathered together—even without Wei Zhao as their backbone—there was by now scarcely any force in the mortal realm capable of standing against them.
Today it happened to be Qiu Lingshan's and Wu Chengtian's turn: Qiu Lingshan was cleaning the rooms one by one, while Wu Chengtian patrolled the villa's surroundings with General Weiwu and the Wind-Thunder Violet-Lightning Beast.
A grand Heaven-rank great-perfection expert, and here he was doing the work of a servant and a security guard—if word of this got out, jaws would drop from here to the heavens.
Wu Chengtian, however, bore it without complaint. The key point was that nothing had ever gone wrong in all this time—and every time the residential compound's guards laid eyes on him, they fixed him with the hostile glare one reserves for a rival in the same trade. The very thought of it was enough to make a man's balls ache.
"What the hell are you staring at? You think I'm going to steal your job?" Wu Chengtian raised his iron hand in speechless exasperation and rolled his eyes.
Still, this was already an improvement. At the very beginning, the guards had taken him for a thief and gathered in a pack to gawk at him; now at least he had been upgraded to law-abiding citizen. Truly a cause for celebration.
Just as he was idling about with nothing to do, Wu Chengtian suddenly came to a halt. Not far off, around the corner ahead, two people were approaching—and judging by their footfalls, they were likely experts of no small strength.
"You're certain all those inheritors are unconscious?" asked one of the two, an old man whose face was marred by a hideous, blood-red scar.
