"Playing mysterious? Do I look like such a frivolous person? I'll be blunt: the one who can save me is right here on the scene—and right among you!" Wei Zhao's gaze burned as he fixed it on one man: Yu Jiang himself.
Under that pointed stare from Wei Zhao, Yu Jiang's skin crawled. He didn't know what the problem was, but a sudden, extremely ominous premonition rose in his heart.
"You mean Yu Jiang?" Nantian Ba and Nantian Guan were both taken aback, and the looks they turned on Yu Jiang now carried a note of scrutiny.
He was their martial nephew, true, but they had had little contact with Yu Jiang before; he had only attached himself to their faction after Nantian Guan's death. They could hardly claim to know him through and through.
"How could that be? I wish I could hack him to pieces to avenge my master—why would I ever save him? Martial Uncles, don't fall for this brat's scheme to sow discord!" Yu Jiang denied it in a fluster.
Nantian Guan quickly caught on as well. "Brat, don't underestimate us. Saying Yu Jiang would save you—such a clumsy bit of sowing discord, do you really think we'd believe you? Do you take us for pigs?"
"Exactly. Even if Yu Jiang had such a notion, with his piddling strength, trying to save you right under this lord's nose is sheer fantasy!" Nantian Ba sneered in agreement.
"Martial Uncles are wise. This brat, with doom upon him, still won't give up his wicked schemes, trying to poison the bond between your martial nephew and his two Martial Uncles—he deserves to be hacked to pieces!" Yu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and hastily added his own kick.
Seeing the three grow ever more hostile, Wei Zhao remained unruffled. "You misunderstand, gentlemen. I never said Yu Jiang would step in to save me. What I meant is that he will die in my place."
"What? Me die in your place? Are you out of your mind?" Yu Jiang was stunned, then burst out laughing. Yet that lingering ominous feeling in his heart, for some reason, only grew stronger.
At the same time, Nantian Ba and Nantian Guan were looking at Wei Zhao as though he were an idiot, convinced he had been frightened out of his wits and had begun spouting nonsense.
"It sounds absurd, doesn't it? But once you've seen this, I think you'll change your minds..." Wei Zhao smiled, reached into his robes, and drew out a phone, pulling up a video he had recorded earlier.
"What the hell is this thing?" Nantian Ba and the other two were dumbfounded. However worldly they might be, there was no way they had ever seen a smartphone, a device that had only emerged in the mortal world in recent years. They exchanged bewildered glances.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared on the phone screen. Though the camera was somewhat distant, that build and those features were all too familiar to them... R1152
