Chapter 4693 — Then Forget It
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Ah? I... I don't want any..." At his words Huo Yudie's face flushed red at once. As if possessed, she actually forgot to refute the earlier remark, only waving her hands in flustered refusal and hastily retreating behind Wei Zhao.
"You want some?" Only then did Wei Zhao see what Huo Yudie was thinking, and he could not help but be surprised. He had assumed that with her strength and breadth of vision, she would not be far below his own and would look down on these people's belongings. Little did he realize he was purely measuring her by himself, imagining everyone had encounters as extraordinary as his own.
"I..." Seeing Wei Zhao's gaze turn and settle on her face, Huo Yudie felt a pang of panic and nervousness. She lowered her head, not daring to meet his eyes, and for a moment did not know what to say.
"Then pick a few," Wei Zhao said carelessly. As for Qi Wenmo's proposal to split everything in half, that was entirely unnecessary: for one thing, he and Xia Qianqian were two people and could hardly take only half; for another, given Huo Yudie's discerning eye, she would not want many of these things and would at most choose a few pieces.
"Better forget it..." Huo Yudie shook her head and said in a small voice.
"Oh. Then forget it," Wei Zhao said, looking utterly indifferent.
"..." At that, Huo Yudie fixed her eyes on Wei Zhao as though she could kill him. She was furious. She was a girl, after all—she had only declined out of shyness. As a grown man, could you not have asked once more? One more time and I could have gracefully accepted! Honestly!
Though he could not see the expression beneath her veil, Wei Zhao could more or less read the girl's thoughts through her eyes, and he could not help laughing. "Whatever you want, I'll give it to you later. These things are nothing."
Had anyone else made such a boast, Huo Yudie would have scoffed. But with Wei Zhao it was entirely different—at least the strength Wei Zhao had displayed truly warranted such a promise.
"In there are the auxiliary ingredients for refining that pill. They're not extremely rare, but they're not easy to find either..." Huo Yudie glanced at Qi Wenmo and Xia Qianqian, then said to Wei Zhao in a small, blushing voice.
Even knowing full well that Wei Zhao and Qi Wenmo were close, she remained very cautious and did not mention key terms like the Lightning Mystic Pill and the Lightning Mystic Vine. This matter was grave, after all; if word leaked out by some careless slip and people learned that this place held the Lightning Mystic Vine, complications would inevitably arise along the way, and it might even ruin everything in the end—and then there would be only tears.
"Oh, don't worry about that. I have all of those," Wei Zhao said with a smile, as though everything were under his control.
From the very first day he arrived at Cloud Terrace Island, he had set about building up a storehouse, and over two years it had grown to a considerable scale. Basically all the auxiliary ingredients for the mainstream pills were already in his possession; at most, treasures as exceedingly rare as the Lightning Mystic Vine still had to be obtained by chance. The rest required no further thought at all. (To be continued)
