Chapter 4328 — Parting Again
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Of course, this was a grand gathering of over ten thousand participants; even though the Morning Star Academy's selection process was very simple, its manpower ample, and order strictly controlled to ensure efficiency, it was still absolutely impossible to finish all the selections in a single day—even working day and night, it would take at least some days.
However, at this hour Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao could no longer stay out. The two of them must hurry back to the inn before dark, or else if the East Sea Divine Nun could not find them, who knew what trouble might ensue.
After all, one of them had a sponge physique, and the other was a perfect Golden Core cultivator with dual fire-wind spiritual roots—both possessed first-rate, supernal talent, and it would be no exaggeration to call them the treasures of the entire Morning Star Academy. Once the two of them went missing, not to mention the East Sea Divine Nun's alarm, even Ling Yuanqing and the others would likely dig all of Zhenduan City three feet deep.
With immense reluctance, Wei Zhao in the end could only part from the two women. Normally so composed, he became rather fussy and long-winded before leaving, charging them again and again with instructions, until both women were laughing. As Wei Zhao's beauties, they had never known he had this side to him.
Amid the laughter, Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao felt ever warmer at heart. To be so cared for by Wei Zhao, no amount of waiting, no amount of longing, was too much to pay.
After parting at the Yanshui Tea House, Wei Zhao found a nearby inn and settled in. Though it was still packed to bursting, since many people now kept vigil all night at Zhenduan Plaza awaiting selection, some rooms had at last been freed up; otherwise, with the docks sealed and no way even to leave, Wei Zhao would have had to sleep in the streets.
In the days that followed, Wei Zhao settled thoroughly into the inn, scarcely stepping outside, and certainly not going to find Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao—as if he had vanished from the world.
Though while Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao had not yet left Zhenduan City, Wei Zhao truly wished to spend more time with them, reason told him that in his present situation, the less contact he had with the two women, the better.
Wang Xinyan, to be sure, needed no explaining—the radiance of the Three Fairies made her the focus wherever she went. As for Huang Xiaotao, though far less noticed than Wang Xinyan, her supernal dual fire-wind talent was now widely known, and having been taken as a personal disciple by the Mountain-Opening stage titan the East Sea Divine Nun, she was a veritable rising star of the Academy.
Moreover, during the earlier selection, Wei Zhao's connection with Huang Xiaotao had been seen by everyone present. Frankly, if he continued to be seen with Huang Xiaotao, he truly feared some blind fool of a good-for-nothing would come looking for trouble with him—especially those from the Morning Star Academy.
After all, those Nascent Soul stage guards he had seen earlier were all Academy disciples temporarily filling in, and by Ge Wei's account, not one of them was anyone to trifle with!
