Chapter 5084 — Requested Meeting
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"A show of strength..." Wei Zhao gave them all an odd look, then said speechlessly: "Do you think this is some ordinary gang negotiation? Boss sits at the table, underlings lined up behind him—and I suppose you'll all change into matching black suits and black sunglasses?"
"Haha, that's not unthinkable. I'm thinking of Zhong Yongliang." Kang Xiaofeng nodded with mock solemnity.
"Get out of here. You'll all stay put here. Keep an eye on Mengyao and the others for me. Ling Shan and I can go to the Mystic Investigation Bureau ourselves." Wei Zhao waved his hand, half laughing, half crying. "Though Pinliang's all right—he's been cooperating with me the whole time at Cloud Terrace Island."
The other party was, after all, a peak early Golden Core expert. If talks broke down and it came to blows on the spot, his current strength would suffice to protect himself, and looking after one more person was already the limit. If everyone came along, it would only tie his hands. And Qiu Lingshan was deputy director of the Mystic Investigation Bureau, so bringing her was only proper—otherwise Wei Zhao wouldn't have brought even her.
After much persuasion, Wei Zhao finally managed to talk everyone down, then pulled Qiu Lingshan along and set off for the Mystic Investigation Bureau headquarters, leaving Fei Yangnian behind to guard the place.
The fellow was, after all, a mid-Foundation Establishment expert, and with the divine-sense mark on him there was no fear of sudden betrayal. His presence would also serve as a deterrent to other Primordial Alliance disciples—even if he was no match for the enemy, exchanging empty pleasantries to buy time should be no problem.
Wei Zhao still sat in the passenger seat, though the driver was now Qiu Lingshan. Along the way, he noticed the corners of this little fool's mouth kept curling up unconsciously, and could not help saying strangely: "Is your face twitching?"
"Your face is twitching!" Qiu Lingshan's face darkened, but in a blink her mouth curved up again, and she said with a slightly giggling expression: "It feels so good—just you and me..."
Seeing Qiu Lingshan actually close her eyes in bliss, Wei Zhao jumped in fright and hurriedly said: "No, no, say what you like, but whatever you do, don't close your eyes—you're still driving!"
Qiu Lingshan rolled her eyes at him and muttered: "Unromantic blockhead!"
Wei Zhao smiled bitterly. Of course he knew Qiu Lingshan was dreaming of a world for just the two of them. But with so many lovely confidantes and so many love debts owed, even if he spent all his time with them in the future, a world for two was still practically impossible.
For an ordinary girl, such a thing was the most natural in the world, yet for Qiu Lingshan and the others it had become an unattainable luxury. Wei Zhao had truly wronged them in too many ways.
Wei Zhao's heart was full of guilt, but Qiu Lingshan saw nothing wrong with it. For her, having this stretch of time alone in the car was already satisfying enough. In her eyes, Wei Zhao was destined to command the winds and clouds; if he were like other men, always circling women day after day, she wouldn't have taken a liking to him at all.
The two arrived at the Mystic Investigation Bureau, and they had waited only a short while when a white-bearded elder came to seek an audience.
Qiu Lingshan invited him into the reception hall. The white-bearded elder had a bland expression at first. Though he was not as lofty and overbearing as Xue Jianming had been, his attitude made it plain that these people were not in his eyes at all. Xue Jianming had been contemptuous toward them; this one simply ignored them outright. (To be continued.)
