Chapter 4666 — Invitation to Team Up
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 3
Good heavens! The crowd nearly lost their minds. That a woman would take the initiative to strike up a conversation had already been shocking enough, but never in their wildest dreams had they expected Wei Zhao to turn her down without so much as a second thought. What in the world had the world come to?
"Oh..." The woman could not help but look a little disappointed. She fixed her gaze on Wei Zhao for a few more seconds, but did not press the matter further—perhaps she too realized that accosting him out of the blue like this was far too baffling.
What left everyone exchanging bewildered glances, however, was that although the woman did not keep trying to team up with Wei Zhao, she did not leave after being rejected either. Instead, she simply fell in behind him as if it were the natural thing to do. No one quite knew what to make of it.
"Fair lady, this fellow is a blind fool who can't recognize gold inlaid with jade. Best pay him no mind. Why not consider me instead? My strength is hardly something a painted pillow like him can match—I guarantee you'll get exactly what you wish for. How about it?" Kang Jingming was still unwilling to give up and trailed after the woman, chattering without end.
The woman paid him no heed, however, and merely continued to wait silently behind Wei Zhao, lifting her head now and then to size him up, as though there were some deeper meaning in her gaze.
With a pair of eyes fixed on his back like that, Wei Zhao could not help feeling a little uneasy, and he quietly grew wary. Just what was this girl up to? Why did it feel as though she had set her sights on him for some ulterior purpose?
While the woman was studying Wei Zhao, Shangguan Lan'er and Han Jingyi were studying her as well, whispering to each other from time to time and breaking into silvery peals of laughter. Far from minding the woman's unexpected behavior, the two of them were simply brimming with curiosity.
As they spoke, the group had already filed up to the front of the teleportation formation. This was a side courtyard of the island master's palace, heavily guarded, with imposing West Island experts posted in every direction. Though all of them were female cultivators, the sheer overwhelming momentum they radiated was enough to deter anyone from causing trouble.
"Very well. Once your identities are verified, you may line up and teleport one by one. Good luck to you all." With that, Yan Xinlan stepped aside and left the rest to two West Island stewards—one to verify identities, the other to direct the teleportation.
At a time like this, no one dared to make trouble, and so no disturbance arose. The crowd teleported in orderly succession, and soon it was Wei Zhao's turn. Only after his identity was verified and he was about to step into the formation did he finally learn the identity of the veiled woman behind him.
Her name was Huo Yudie, a student from the Morning Pride Yellow-Rank Women's Academy of East Continent. Whether she was actually a disciple of that Vice Principal Liu Ziqi, however, he could not say. Since she had been permitted to accompany the mission to West Island, her status surely could not be low.
"Go for it, little junior brother! Feifei and the rest of us are all waiting for you!" Seeing Wei Zhao step into the teleportation formation, Shangguan Lan'er, who had been held back outside, waved frantically. But when she caught Wei Zhao's strange expression, she quickly realized the ambiguity in her own words, and her face flushed bright red on the spot. Ning Xuefei was waiting for Wei Zhao to become her husband—so what exactly was she waiting for?!
