Chapter 4230 — The Escort's Invitation
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Hmph, what business is it of yours? These two are nothing but outsiders newly arrived. Don't tell me you want a hand in it too?" Cheng Qitiao's face grew uglier by the moment, the veins on his face leaping wildly, yet he never dared make a move, and could only keep grinding his teeth and enduring.
"My apologies—you've guessed rightly." Qi Wenmo smiled, too lazy to bother with him further, and turned to Wei Zhao and Huang Xiaotao: "Young hero, I am Qi Wenmo, young master of the Skysupport Escort Agency. I witnessed your remarkable skills just now, and so I wish to invite you both to join our Skysupport Escort Agency as escorts. What do you say?"
"You dare poach from me?!" Hearing this, Cheng Qitiao's face could no longer hold, and he flew into a thunderous rage.
He did indeed harbor misgivings about this Qi Wenmo—the man's Skysupport Escort Agency was not to be provoked, especially with old Kong injured. So even when mocked to his face like this, he dared not strike, fearful of swallowing a silent loss today and never recovering his ground later. Thus he could only endure for the moment and let the storm pass.
But that did not mean he would let Wei Zhao and Huang Xiaotao go. These were prey he had set his sights on, meat already fallen into his mouth—how could he simply let them slip away?
In his mind, even if Qi Wenmo helped these two for a time, he could not help them for a lifetime. Even if not today, then tomorrow or the day after, these two would still never escape his palm.
But for Qi Wenmo to actually try to recruit these two as escorts of the Skysupport Escort Agency—that he absolutely could not tolerate!
For that would mean Wei Zhao and his companion became people of the Skysupport Escort Agency, and moving against them thereafter would no longer be so easy.
"Listen well, Qi Wenmo—I set my eyes on these two first. Doing this is breaking the rules of the Wei Arc sea region, and when the matter blows up, even your Skysupport Escort Agency will find no advantage in it!" Cheng Qitiao threatened through gritted teeth.
Qi Wenmo, however, paid him no heed at all, merely smiling as he looked at Wei Zhao and Huang Xiaotao, awaiting Wei Zhao's reply. As for Cheng Qitiao's clamor, it seemed to be mere air—not even worth a fart.
Watching this unfold, Wei Zhao understood clearly in his heart: both were young masters of second-generation powers in the Wei Arc sea region, but this Qi Wenmo was far stronger than Cheng Qitiao.
This Qi Wenmo had hardly stepped forward to recruit him out of simple righteousness. The man had likely seen that he and Huang Xiaotao had the strength to wound a Nascent Soul expert, and so had intervened midway to extend an olive branch!
Otherwise, even if he found Cheng Qitiao detestable, he would not have said what he just said—at most he would have struck while the iron was hot, seizing the chance of old Kong's injury to trample Cheng Qitiao soundly.
Acting out of righteousness was rare in the scheming world of cultivation, especially in a place of such chaotic order as the Wei Arc sea region. That Qi Wenmo would champion the two of them for no reason at all was utterly impossible.
But that was fine. In Wei Zhao's view, Qi Wenmo having an agenda was actually a good thing, for this was not simple assistance—it was a recruitment of the two of them.
